耶利米哀歌 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
耶利米自嘆遭主憤怒
3 我是因耶和華憤怒的杖遭遇困苦的人。 2 他引導我,使我行在黑暗中,不行在光明裡。 3 他真是終日再三反手攻擊我。 4 他使我的皮肉枯乾,他折斷[a]我的骨頭。 5 他築壘攻擊我,用苦楚[b]和艱難圍困我。 6 他使我住在幽暗之處,像死了許久的人一樣。 7 他用籬笆圍住我,使我不能出去,他使我的銅鏈沉重。 8 我哀號求救,他使我的禱告不得上達。 9 他用鑿過的石頭擋住我的道,他使我的路彎曲。 10 他向我如熊埋伏,如獅子在隱密處。 11 他使我轉離正路,將我撕碎,使我淒涼。 12 他張弓將我當做箭靶子。 13 他把箭袋中的箭射入我的肺腑。 14 我成了眾民的笑話,他們終日以我為歌曲。 15 他用苦楚充滿我,使我飽用茵陳。 16 他又用沙石磣斷我的牙,用灰塵將我蒙蔽。 17 你使我遠離平安,我忘記好處。 18 我就說:「我的力量衰敗,我在耶和華那裡毫無指望。」
追憶主恩不致滅沒
19 耶和華啊,求你記念我如茵陳和苦膽的困苦窘迫! 20 我心想念這些,就在裡面憂悶。 21 我想起這事,心裡就有指望。 22 我們不致消滅,是出於耶和華諸般的慈愛,是因他的憐憫不至斷絕。 23 每早晨這都是新的,你的誠實極其廣大。 24 我心裡說:「耶和華是我的份,因此我要仰望他。」 25 凡等候耶和華,心裡尋求他的,耶和華必施恩給他。
仰望救恩靜候為美
26 人仰望耶和華,靜默等候他的救恩,這原是好的。 27 人在幼年負軛,這原是好的。 28 他當獨坐無言,因為這是耶和華加在他身上的。 29 他當口貼塵埃,或者有指望。 30 他當由人打他的腮頰,要滿受凌辱。 31 因為主必不永遠丟棄人。 32 主雖使人憂愁,還要照他諸般的慈愛發憐憫。 33 因他並不甘心使人受苦,使人憂愁。 34 人將世上被囚的踹[c]在腳下, 35 或在至高者面前屈枉人, 36 或在人的訟事上顛倒是非,這都是主看不上的。 37 除非主命定,誰能說成就成呢? 38 禍福不都出於至高者的口嗎? 39 活人因自己的罪受罰,為何發怨言呢?
40 我們當深深考察自己的行為,再歸向耶和華。 41 我們當誠心向天上的神舉手禱告: 42 「我們犯罪悖逆,你並不赦免。 43 你自被怒氣遮蔽,追趕我們;你施行殺戮,並不顧惜。 44 你以黑雲遮蔽自己,以致禱告不得透入。 45 你使我們在萬民中成為汙穢和渣滓。 46 我們的仇敵都向我們大大張口。 47 恐懼和陷坑,殘害和毀滅都臨近我們。」 48 因我眾民遭的毀滅,我就眼淚下流如河。 49 我的眼多多流淚,總不止息, 50 直等耶和華垂顧,從天觀看。 51 因我本城的眾民,我的眼使我的心傷痛。 52 無故與我為仇的追逼我,像追雀鳥一樣。 53 他們使我的命在牢獄中斷絕,並將一塊石頭拋在我身上。 54 眾水流過我頭,我說:「我命斷絕了!」
求主解救
55 耶和華啊,我從深牢中求告你的名。 56 你曾聽見我的聲音:「我求你解救,你不要掩耳不聽!」 57 我求告你的日子,你臨近我,說:「不要懼怕!」 58 主啊,你申明了我的冤,你救贖了我的命。 59 耶和華啊,你見了我受的委屈,求你為我申冤。 60 他們仇恨我,謀害我,你都看見了。 61 耶和華啊,你聽見他們辱罵我的話,知道他們向我所設的計, 62 並那些起來攻擊我的人口中所說的話,以及終日向我所設的計謀。 63 求你觀看,他們坐下、起來,都以我為歌曲。
求主施報於敵
64 耶和華啊,你要按著他們手所做的向他們施行報應。 65 你要使他們心裡剛硬,使你的咒詛臨到他們。 66 你要發怒追趕他們,從耶和華的天下除滅他們。

刑罚、悔改和盼望
3 我在耶和华烈怒的杖下受尽痛苦。
2 祂把我赶进黑暗,
使我不见光明,
3 又屡屡攻击我,终日不断。
4 祂使我皮肉枯槁,
祂折断我的骨头。
5 祂使我四面受困,
尝尽痛苦艰辛。
6 祂使我住在幽暗中,
像久已死去的人。
7 祂围困我,使我无法逃脱,
祂给我戴上沉重的铜链。
8 即使我哀哭呼求,
祂也掩耳不听。
9 祂用凿好的石头阻挡我的去路,
使我的道路曲折难行。
10 祂像埋伏的巨熊,
又像伺机突袭的猛狮,
11 把我拖离大路,
将我撕成碎片,一片凄凉。
12 祂弯弓搭箭,把我当箭靶,
13 用箭袋中的箭射穿我的心脏。
14 我成了万人的笑柄,
他们终日唱歌讽刺我。
15 祂使我饱受苦楚,尝尽苦涩。
16 祂用石头打断我的牙齿,
把我践踏在尘土中。
17 我失去平安,
忘记了什么是快乐。
18 我说:“我精疲力竭,
对耶和华失去盼望。”
19 想起我的痛苦和漂泊流离,
就如苦艾和胆汁一样苦涩。
20 那情景萦绕心头,
使我心情沉重。
21 然而,我想起这事,
便有了盼望,
22 就是耶和华的慈爱永不终止,
祂的怜悯永无穷尽。
23 祂的慈爱和怜悯每天早晨都是新的,
祂的信实无比伟大!
24 我心里知道,
耶和华是我的产业,
我要仰望祂。
25 耶和华必赐福给那些等候和寻求祂的人,
26 因此,默然等候耶和华的拯救是美好的。
27 年轻时负轭受苦是有益的。
28 受耶和华管教时,
要默然独坐。
29 要谦卑,脸伏于地,
或许还有希望。
30 要任人打脸,甘心忍受凌辱。
31 因为主不会永远撇弃人。
32 主尽管使人忧伤,
祂依然怜悯人,
因为祂有无限的慈爱。
33 祂不愿使人忧伤、痛苦。
34 将囚犯踩在脚下,
35 在至高者面前冤枉他人,
36 审理案件时颠倒是非,
都是主所不容许的。
37 若非主许可,
谁的话可以兑现呢?
38 祸福岂不都出自至高者的口吗?
39 世人因自己的罪受罚,
又何必怨天尤人呢?
40 我们要省察自己的行为,
重新归向耶和华。
41 让我们举起双手,
诚心向天上的上帝祷告说:
42 “我们犯罪、背叛,
你没有赦免我们。
43 “你满怀愤怒地追赶我们,
毫不留情地杀戮我们。
44 你以密云遮盖自己,
以致祷告达不到你那里。
45 你使我们在列国中沦为废物、渣滓。
46 “我们的仇敌都幸灾乐祸。
47 我们充满恐惧,
面临陷阱、残害和毁灭。”
48 因同胞被毁灭,我泪流成河。
49 我的眼泪涌流不息,
50 直到耶和华从天上垂顾。
51 目睹城中妇女的遭遇,
我痛苦不已。
52 敌人无故地追捕我,
如同捕猎飞鸟。
53 他们把我推进坑里,
又用石头砸我。
54 水已经漫过我的头,
我想我要灭亡了。
55 耶和华啊,
我在深渊呼求你的名。
56 你曾垂听我的呼求,
求你现在不要掩耳不听我的祈祷。
57 我向你呼求的时候,
你曾走近我身旁,
安慰我说:“不用害怕!”
58 主啊,你为我申了冤,
救赎了我的性命。
59 耶和华啊,你已明察我的冤情,
求你为我主持公道。
60 你看见了他们怎样仇恨我、
谋害我。
61 你听见了他们怎样辱骂我、
谋害我。
62 他们整天诽谤我,图谋害我。
63 你看!他们或坐下或起来,
都唱歌讽刺我。
64 耶和华啊,
求你按照他们的所作所为报应他们!
65 求你使他们心里顽固,
好让你的咒诅落在他们身上!
66 求你发怒追赶他们,
从世上铲除他们!

Lamentations 3
New International Version
3 [a]I am the man who has seen affliction(A)
by the rod of the Lord’s wrath.(B)
2 He has driven me away and made me walk
in darkness(C) rather than light;
3 indeed, he has turned his hand against me(D)
again and again, all day long.
4 He has made my skin and my flesh grow old(E)
and has broken my bones.(F)
5 He has besieged me and surrounded me
with bitterness(G) and hardship.(H)
6 He has made me dwell in darkness
like those long dead.(I)
7 He has walled me in so I cannot escape;(J)
he has weighed me down with chains.(K)
8 Even when I call out or cry for help,(L)
he shuts out my prayer.(M)
9 He has barred(N) my way with blocks of stone;
he has made my paths crooked.(O)
10 Like a bear lying in wait,
like a lion(P) in hiding,(Q)
11 he dragged me from the path and mangled(R) me
and left me without help.
12 He drew his bow(S)
and made me the target(T) for his arrows.(U)
13 He pierced(V) my heart
with arrows from his quiver.(W)
14 I became the laughingstock(X) of all my people;(Y)
they mock me in song(Z) all day long.
15 He has filled me with bitter herbs
and given me gall to drink.(AA)
16 He has broken my teeth with gravel;(AB)
he has trampled me in the dust.(AC)
17 I have been deprived of peace;
I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18 So I say, “My splendor is gone
and all that I had hoped from the Lord.”(AD)
19 I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness(AE) and the gall.(AF)
20 I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast(AG) within me.(AH)
21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the Lord’s great love(AI) we are not consumed,(AJ)
for his compassions never fail.(AK)
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.(AL)
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;(AM)
therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;(AN)
26 it is good to wait quietly(AO)
for the salvation of the Lord.(AP)
27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.
28 Let him sit alone in silence,(AQ)
for the Lord has laid it on him.
29 Let him bury his face in the dust(AR)—
there may yet be hope.(AS)
30 Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him,(AT)
and let him be filled with disgrace.(AU)
31 For no one is cast off
by the Lord forever.(AV)
32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love.(AW)
33 For he does not willingly bring affliction
or grief to anyone.(AX)
34 To crush underfoot
all prisoners in the land,
35 to deny people their rights
before the Most High,(AY)
36 to deprive them of justice—
would not the Lord see such things?(AZ)
37 Who can speak and have it happen
if the Lord has not decreed it?(BA)
38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
that both calamities and good things come?(BB)
39 Why should the living complain
when punished for their sins?(BC)
40 Let us examine our ways and test them,(BD)
and let us return to the Lord.(BE)
41 Let us lift up our hearts and our hands
to God in heaven,(BF) and say:
42 “We have sinned and rebelled(BG)
and you have not forgiven.(BH)
43 “You have covered yourself with anger and pursued(BI) us;
you have slain without pity.(BJ)
44 You have covered yourself with a cloud(BK)
so that no prayer(BL) can get through.(BM)
45 You have made us scum(BN) and refuse
among the nations.
46 “All our enemies have opened their mouths
wide(BO) against us.(BP)
47 We have suffered terror and pitfalls,(BQ)
ruin and destruction.(BR)”
48 Streams of tears(BS) flow from my eyes(BT)
because my people are destroyed.(BU)
49 My eyes will flow unceasingly,
without relief,(BV)
50 until the Lord looks down
from heaven and sees.(BW)
51 What I see brings grief to my soul
because of all the women of my city.
52 Those who were my enemies without cause
hunted me like a bird.(BX)
53 They tried to end my life in a pit(BY)
and threw stones at me;
54 the waters closed over my head,(BZ)
and I thought I was about to perish.(CA)
55 I called on your name, Lord,
from the depths(CB) of the pit.(CC)
56 You heard my plea:(CD) “Do not close your ears
to my cry for relief.”
57 You came near(CE) when I called you,
and you said, “Do not fear.”(CF)
58 You, Lord, took up my case;(CG)
you redeemed my life.(CH)
59 Lord, you have seen the wrong done to me.(CI)
Uphold my cause!(CJ)
60 You have seen the depth of their vengeance,
all their plots against me.(CK)

Lamentations 3
King James Version
3 I Am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
3 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.
4 My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
5 He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6 He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
7 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
9 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
10 He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
11 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
12 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13 He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
14 I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
15 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
18 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord:
19 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
30 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
34 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth.
35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.
41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
43 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
45 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission.
50 Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
51 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
55 I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.
56 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
59 O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me;
62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
64 Render unto them a recompence, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.
65 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord.
