Recordare, Domine, quid acciderit nobis; intuere et respice opprobrium nostrum.

Haereditas nostra versa est ad alienos, domus nostrae ad extraneos.

Pupilli facti sumus absque patre, matres nostrae quasi viduae.

Aquam nostram pecunia bibimus; ligna nostra pretio comparavimus.

Cervicibus nostris minabamur, lassis non dabatur requies.

AEgypto dedimus manum et Assyriis, ut saturaremur pane.

Patres nostri peccaverunt, et non sunt: et nos iniquitates eorum portavimus.

Servi dominati sunt nostri: non fuit qui redimeret de manu eorum.

In animabus nostris afferebamus panem nobis, a facie gladii in deserto.

10 Pellis nostra quasi clibanus exusta est, a facie tempestatum famis.

11 Mulieres in Sion humiliaverunt, et virgines in civitatibus Juda.

12 Principes manu suspensi sunt; facies senum non erubuerunt.

13 Adolescentibus impudice abusi sunt, et pueri in ligno corruerunt.

14 Senes defecerunt de portis, juvenes de choro psallentium.

15 Defecit gaudium cordis nostri; versus est in luctum chorus noster.

16 Cecidit corona capitis nostri: vae nobis, quia peccavimus!

17 Propterea moestum factum est cor nostrum; ideo contenebrati sunt oculi nostri,

18 propter montem Sion quia disperiit; vulpes ambulaverunt in eo.

19 Tu autem, Domine, in aeternum permanebis, solium tuum in generationem et generationem.

20 Quare in perpetuum oblivisceris nostri, derelinques nos in longitudine dierum?

21 Converte nos, Domine, ad te, et convertemur; innova dies nostros, sicut a principio.

22 Sed projiciens repulisti nos: iratus es contra nos vehementer.

向耶和华祷告诉苦

耶和华啊!求你记念我们所遭遇的!垂顾关注我们的耻辱。

我们的产业转归外人,我们的房屋归给异族。

我们成为孤儿,没有父亲,我们的母亲好象寡妇一样。

我们所喝的水要用银子买,我们的柴也付代价而得。

我们被人追赶,颈项带上重轭;我们疲乏,得不着歇息。

我们臣服埃及和亚述,为要得着粮食充饥。

我们的先祖犯了罪,现在他们不在了;我们却要担负他们的罪孽。

奴仆辖制我们;没有人救我们脱离他们的手。

因为旷野有刀剑的威胁,我们要冒生命的危险才得到粮食。

10 我们因饥饿而发烧,我们的皮肤好象火炉一般的热。

11 妇女在锡安被污辱,处女在犹大的城镇被强暴。

12 众领袖被敌人吊起来;长老也不受人尊敬。

13 青年人推磨吃苦;孩童因背木柴而跌倒。

14 众长老不再坐在城门口;青年人不再唱歌作乐。

15 我们心里不再欢乐;我们的舞蹈变为哀哭。

16 冠冕从我们的头上掉下来。我们有祸了;因为我们犯了罪。

17 为了这事,我们心里愁烦;为了这事,我们的眼睛昏花;

18 因为锡安山荒凉,野狗就在山上到处出没。

祈求复兴

19 但耶和华啊,你永远坐着为王;你的宝座代代长存。

20 你为甚么永远忘记我们?为甚么长久离弃我们?

21-22 耶和华啊!除非你真的弃绝我们,

你向我们所发的怒气难收,

不然,求你使我们归向你,好使我们回转过来;

求你更新我们的日子,像古时一样。

Remember, Lord, what has happened to us;
    look, and see our disgrace.(A)
Our inheritance(B) has been turned over to strangers,(C)
    our homes(D) to foreigners.(E)
We have become fatherless,
    our mothers are widows.(F)
We must buy the water we drink;(G)
    our wood can be had only at a price.(H)
Those who pursue us are at our heels;
    we are weary(I) and find no rest.(J)
We submitted to Egypt and Assyria(K)
    to get enough bread.
Our ancestors(L) sinned and are no more,
    and we bear their punishment.(M)
Slaves(N) rule over us,
    and there is no one to free us from their hands.(O)
We get our bread at the risk of our lives
    because of the sword in the desert.
10 Our skin is hot as an oven,
    feverish from hunger.(P)
11 Women have been violated(Q) in Zion,
    and virgins in the towns of Judah.
12 Princes have been hung up by their hands;
    elders(R) are shown no respect.(S)
13 Young men toil at the millstones;
    boys stagger under loads of wood.
14 The elders are gone from the city gate;
    the young men have stopped their music.(T)
15 Joy is gone from our hearts;
    our dancing has turned to mourning.(U)
16 The crown(V) has fallen from our head.(W)
    Woe to us, for we have sinned!(X)
17 Because of this our hearts(Y) are faint,(Z)
    because of these things our eyes(AA) grow dim(AB)
18 for Mount Zion,(AC) which lies desolate,(AD)
    with jackals prowling over it.

19 You, Lord, reign forever;(AE)
    your throne endures(AF) from generation to generation.
20 Why do you always forget us?(AG)
    Why do you forsake(AH) us so long?
21 Restore(AI) us to yourself, Lord, that we may return;
    renew our days as of old
22 unless you have utterly rejected us(AJ)
    and are angry with us beyond measure.(AK)

Restore Us to Yourself, O Lord

(A)Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us;
    look, and see (B)our disgrace!
(C)Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
    our homes to foreigners.
We have become orphans, fatherless;
    our mothers are like widows.
We must pay for the water we drink;
    the wood we get must be bought.
(D)Our pursuers are at our necks;
    we are weary; we are given no rest.
We have given the hand to (E)Egypt, and to (F)Assyria,
    to get bread enough.
Our fathers sinned, and are no more;
    (G)and we bear their iniquities.
(H)Slaves rule over us;
    there is none to deliver us from their hand.
(I)We get our bread at the peril of our lives,
    because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 (J)Our skin is hot as an oven
    with (K)the burning heat of famine.
11 Women are raped in Zion,
    young women in the towns of Judah.
12 (L)Princes are hung up by their hands;
    (M)no respect is shown to the elders.
13 Young men are compelled to (N)grind at the mill,
    and boys stagger (O)under loads of wood.
14 (P)The old men have left the city gate,
    the young men (Q)their music.
15 (R)The joy of our hearts has ceased;
    (S)our dancing has been turned to mourning.
16 (T)The crown has fallen from our head;
    woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 For this (U)our heart has become sick,
    for these things (V)our eyes have grown dim,
18 for Mount Zion which lies desolate;
    (W)jackals prowl over it.
19 (X)But you, O Lord, reign forever;
    your throne endures to all generations.
20 (Y)Why do you forget us forever,
    why do you forsake us for so many days?
21 (Z)Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may be restored!
    Renew our days as of old—
22 (AA)unless you have utterly rejected us,
    and you remain exceedingly angry with us.
