耶利米哀歌 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
耶利米自叹遭主愤怒
3 我是因耶和华愤怒的杖遭遇困苦的人。 2 他引导我，使我行在黑暗中，不行在光明里。 3 他真是终日再三反手攻击我。 4 他使我的皮肉枯干，他折断[a]我的骨头。 5 他筑垒攻击我，用苦楚[b]和艰难围困我。 6 他使我住在幽暗之处，像死了许久的人一样。 7 他用篱笆围住我，使我不能出去，他使我的铜链沉重。 8 我哀号求救，他使我的祷告不得上达。 9 他用凿过的石头挡住我的道，他使我的路弯曲。 10 他向我如熊埋伏，如狮子在隐密处。 11 他使我转离正路，将我撕碎，使我凄凉。 12 他张弓将我当做箭靶子。 13 他把箭袋中的箭射入我的肺腑。 14 我成了众民的笑话，他们终日以我为歌曲。 15 他用苦楚充满我，使我饱用茵陈。 16 他又用沙石碜断我的牙，用灰尘将我蒙蔽。 17 你使我远离平安，我忘记好处。 18 我就说：“我的力量衰败，我在耶和华那里毫无指望。”
追忆主恩不致灭没
19 耶和华啊，求你记念我如茵陈和苦胆的困苦窘迫！ 20 我心想念这些，就在里面忧闷。 21 我想起这事，心里就有指望。 22 我们不致消灭，是出于耶和华诸般的慈爱，是因他的怜悯不至断绝。 23 每早晨这都是新的，你的诚实极其广大。 24 我心里说：“耶和华是我的份，因此我要仰望他。” 25 凡等候耶和华，心里寻求他的，耶和华必施恩给他。
仰望救恩静候为美
26 人仰望耶和华，静默等候他的救恩，这原是好的。 27 人在幼年负轭，这原是好的。 28 他当独坐无言，因为这是耶和华加在他身上的。 29 他当口贴尘埃，或者有指望。 30 他当由人打他的腮颊，要满受凌辱。 31 因为主必不永远丢弃人。 32 主虽使人忧愁，还要照他诸般的慈爱发怜悯。 33 因他并不甘心使人受苦，使人忧愁。 34 人将世上被囚的踹[c]在脚下， 35 或在至高者面前屈枉人， 36 或在人的讼事上颠倒是非，这都是主看不上的。 37 除非主命定，谁能说成就成呢？ 38 祸福不都出于至高者的口吗？ 39 活人因自己的罪受罚，为何发怨言呢？
40 我们当深深考察自己的行为，再归向耶和华。 41 我们当诚心向天上的神举手祷告： 42 “我们犯罪悖逆，你并不赦免。 43 你自被怒气遮蔽，追赶我们；你施行杀戮，并不顾惜。 44 你以黑云遮蔽自己，以致祷告不得透入。 45 你使我们在万民中成为污秽和渣滓。 46 我们的仇敌都向我们大大张口。 47 恐惧和陷坑，残害和毁灭都临近我们。” 48 因我众民遭的毁灭，我就眼泪下流如河。 49 我的眼多多流泪，总不止息， 50 直等耶和华垂顾，从天观看。 51 因我本城的众民，我的眼使我的心伤痛。 52 无故与我为仇的追逼我，像追雀鸟一样。 53 他们使我的命在牢狱中断绝，并将一块石头抛在我身上。 54 众水流过我头，我说：“我命断绝了！”
求主解救
55 耶和华啊，我从深牢中求告你的名。 56 你曾听见我的声音：“我求你解救，你不要掩耳不听！” 57 我求告你的日子，你临近我，说：“不要惧怕！” 58 主啊，你申明了我的冤，你救赎了我的命。 59 耶和华啊，你见了我受的委屈，求你为我申冤。 60 他们仇恨我，谋害我，你都看见了。 61 耶和华啊，你听见他们辱骂我的话，知道他们向我所设的计， 62 并那些起来攻击我的人口中所说的话，以及终日向我所设的计谋。 63 求你观看，他们坐下、起来，都以我为歌曲。
求主施报于敌
64 耶和华啊，你要按着他们手所做的向他们施行报应。 65 你要使他们心里刚硬，使你的咒诅临到他们。 66 你要发怒追赶他们，从耶和华的天下除灭他们。

Ekhah 3
Orthodox Jewish Bible
3 I am the gever that hath seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.
2 He hath driven me away, and brought me into choshech, but not into ohr.
3 Surely against me is He turned; He turneth His yad against me kol hayom.
4 My basar and my ohr (skin) hath He made old; He hath broken my atzmot.
5 He hath set up seigeworks against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
6 He hath set me in dark places, like the mesei olam (long dead).
7 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot escape; He hath made my chain heavy.
8 Also when I cry and call out, He shutteth out my tefillah.
9 He hath barred my ways with hewn stone, He hath made my paths crooked.
10 He was unto me like a dov (bear) lying in wait, and like an aryeh in mistarim (hiding places).
11 He hath turned aside the darkhei of mine, and pulled me in pieces; He hath made me desolate.
12 He hath bent His keshet, and set me as a target for the khetz (arrow).
13 He hath caused the arrows of His quiver to enter into my organs.
14 I was a derision to kol ami; and their [mocking] song kol hayom.
15 He hath filled me with merorim (bitter herbs); He hath made me drunk with suffering.
16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel, He hath covered me with aphar.
17 And Thou hast removed my nefesh far off from shalom; I forgot tovah (prosperity).
18 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from Hashem;
19 Remember mine oni (affliction) and my misery, the sorrow and the trouble.
20 My nefesh hath them still in remembrance, and is downcast in me.
21 This I recall to my lev, therefore have I hope:
22 Because of the chasdei Hashem we are not consumed, for His rachamim fail not.
23 They are chadashim every boker; great is Thy faithfulness.
24 Hashem is my chelek, saith my nefesh; therefore in hope will I wait for Him.
25 Hashem is tov unto them that wait for Him, to the nefesh that seeketh Him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the Teshu’at Hashem.
27 It is tov for a gever that he bear the ol (yoke) from his youth.
28 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because He hath laid it upon him.
29 He putteth his mouth in the aphar; there may yet be tikvah.
30 He offereth his lekhi (cheek) to him that striketh him; he is filled full with reproach [Isa 50:6].
31 For Adonoi will not cast off l’olam (forever);
32 But though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the rov chasadav (the multitude of His mercies).
33 For He doth not afflict willingly nor bring grief to Bnei Ish.
34 To crush under His feet kol asirei eretz (all the prisoners of the earth),
35 To turn aside the mishpat gever (the right of a man) before the face of Elyon,
36 To subvert a man in his cause, Adonoi approveth not.
37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when Adonoi commandeth it not?
38 Out of the mouth of Elyon proceedeth not hara’ot (the woe) and hatov (the good)?
39 Why doth an adam chai (any man alive) complain, a gever for the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us search and test derakheinu (our ways), and let us turn again to Hashem.
41 Let us lift up levavenu (our heart) with our hands unto El baShomayim.
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled; Atah lo salachta (Thou hast not pardoned, forgiven).
43 Thou hast covered with af (anger), and pursued us; Thou hast slain, Thou hast not pitied.
44 Thou hast covered Thyself with an anan, that our tefillah not pass through.
45 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse among the amim.
46 Kol oyveinu (all our enemies) have opened their mouths against us.
47 Pachad (terror) and a snare is come upon us, ruin and destruction.
48 Mine eye runneth down with streams of mayim for the destruction of Bat Ami.
49 Mine eye will flow down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission
50 Till Hashem look down, and behold from Shomayim.
51 Mine eye affecteth mine nefesh because of all the banot of my city.
52 Mine enemies hunted me down, like a tzippor (bird), without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the bor (pit) and cast an even (stone) upon me.
54 Mayim flowed over mine rosh; then I said, I am cut off.
55 I called upon Thy Shem, Hashem, out of the lowest pit.
56 Thou hast heard my voice; close not thine ear at my sighing, at my cry.
57 Thou drewest near on the Yom that I called upon Thee; Thou saidst, Fear not.
58 Adonoi, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my nefesh; Thou hast redeemed my life.
59 Hashem, Thou hast seen my wrong; uphold my cause.
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their machsh’vot against me.
61 Thou hast heard their reproach, Hashem, and all their machsh’vot against me;
62 The whisperings of those that rose up against me, and their muttering against me kol hayom.
63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; Ani (I) am their mocking song.
64 Render unto them a gemul (recompence), Hashem, according to the work of their hands.
65 Give them hardness of lev as thy curse unto them.
66 Pursue in anger and destroy them from under HaShomayim of Hashem.
