Lamentations 5
English Standard Version
Restore Us to Yourself, O Lord
5 (A)Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us;
look, and see (B)our disgrace!
2 (C)Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our homes to foreigners.
3 We have become orphans, fatherless;
our mothers are like widows.
4 We must pay for the water we drink;
the wood we get must be bought.
5 (D)Our pursuers are at our necks;
we are weary; we are given no rest.
6 We have given the hand to (E)Egypt, and to (F)Assyria,
to get bread enough.
7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more;
(G)and we bear their iniquities.
8 (H)Slaves rule over us;
there is none to deliver us from their hand.
9 (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.

Oración del pueblo afligido
5 Acuérdate, oh Jehová, de lo que nos ha sucedido;
Mira, y ve nuestro oprobio.
2 Nuestra heredad ha pasado a extraños,
Nuestras casas a forasteros.
3 Huérfanos somos sin padre;
Nuestras madres son como viudas.
4 Nuestra agua bebemos por dinero;
Compramos nuestra leña por precio.
5 Padecemos persecución sobre nosotros;
Nos fatigamos, y no hay para nosotros reposo.
6 Al egipcio y al asirio extendimos la mano, para saciarnos de pan.
7 Nuestros padres pecaron, y han muerto;
Y nosotros llevamos su castigo.
8 Siervos se enseñorearon de nosotros;
No hubo quien nos librase de su mano.
9 Con peligro de nuestras vidas traíamos nuestro pan
Ante la espada del desierto.
10 Nuestra piel se ennegreció como un horno
A causa del ardor del hambre.
11 Violaron a las mujeres en Sion,
A las vírgenes en las ciudades de Judá.
12 A los príncipes colgaron de las manos;
No respetaron el rostro de los viejos.
13 Llevaron a los jóvenes a moler,
Y los muchachos desfallecieron bajo el peso de la leña.
14 Los ancianos no se ven más en la puerta,
Los jóvenes dejaron sus canciones.
15 Cesó el gozo de nuestro corazón;
Nuestra danza se cambió en luto.
16 Cayó la corona de nuestra cabeza;
¡Ay ahora de nosotros! porque pecamos.
17 Por esto fue entristecido nuestro corazón,
Por esto se entenebrecieron nuestros ojos,
18 Por el monte de Sion que está asolado;
Zorras andan por él.
19 Mas tú, Jehová, permanecerás para siempre;
Tu trono de generación en generación.
20 ¿Por qué te olvidas completamente de nosotros,
Y nos abandonas tan largo tiempo?
21 Vuélvenos, oh Jehová, a ti, y nos volveremos;
Renueva nuestros días como al principio.
22 Porque nos has desechado;
Te has airado contra nosotros en gran manera.

求耶和華垂憐
5 耶和華啊，求你顧念我們所遭遇的，
留意看我們所受的凌辱。
2 我們的產業歸陌生人，
我們的房屋歸外邦人。
3 我們是無父的孤兒，
我們的母親如同寡婦。
4 我們出銀錢才得水喝，
我們的柴也是用錢買來的。
5 我們被追趕，迫及頸項，
疲乏卻不得歇息。
6 我們束手投降埃及和亞述，
為要得糧吃飽。
7 我們的祖先犯罪，而今他們不在了，
我們卻擔當他們的罪孽。
8 奴僕轄制我們，
無人救我們脫離他們的手。
9 因曠野有刀劍，
我們冒生命的危險才能得糧食。
10 因饑荒的乾熱，
我們的皮膚熱如火爐。
11 他們在錫安玷污婦人，
在猶大城鎮污辱少女。
12 他們吊起領袖的手，
使長老臉上無光。
13 年輕人扛磨石，
孩童背木柴而跌倒。
14 城門口不再有老年人，
年輕人也不再奏樂。
15 我們心中的快樂止息，
跳舞轉為悲哀。
16 冠冕從我們的頭上掉落；
我們有禍了，因為犯了罪。
17 因這些事我們心裏發昏，
眼睛昏花。
18 錫安山荒涼，
狐狸行在其上。
19 耶和華啊，你治理直到永遠，
你的寶座萬代長存。
20 你為何全然忘記我們？
為何長久離棄我們？
21 耶和華啊，求你使我們回轉歸向你，
我們就得以回轉。
求你更新我們的年日，像古時一樣，
22 難道你全然棄絕了我們，
向我們大發烈怒？

A Prayer for Deliverance
5 Lord, remember what has happened to us.
Pay attention, and look at our shame!
2 Our inheritance has[a] been turned over to strangers,
and our homes to foreigners.
3 We are now orphans—without fathers—
and our mothers are like widows.
4 We pay to drink our own water,
and our own wood is sold to us at high price.
5 Our pursuers breathe down[b] our necks;
we are weary, but there is no rest for us.
6 We made a deal with the Egyptians and the Assyrians
for the price of food.[c]
7 Our ancestors sinned and no longer exist
yet we continue to bear the consequences of their sin.
8 Slaves rule over us,
and no one delivers us from their control.[d]
9 We risk our lives to obtain our food,
facing death[e] in the desert.
10 Our skin blisters[f] as from an oven,
due to ravaging blasts of the famine.
11 They have raped women in Zion,
young women[g] in the towns of Judah.
12 Princes they have hung by their hands;
elders[h] they have disrespected.
13 Our[i] young men must grind grain with a millstone;
our[j] youths stumble under the weight of wood.
15 The joy of our hearts has ceased,
and our dancing has turned into dirges.
16 The crown has fallen from our head—
woe to us, because we have sinned!
17 This is why our hearts faint,
and why our eyes grow dim:
18 Because Mount Zion is desolate;
foxes roam around it.
19 You, Lord, are forever—
your throne endures from generation to generation.
20 So why have you completely forgotten us,
forsaking us for so long?
21 Restore us to yourself, Lord,
so that we may return.
Renew our days as before,
22 unless you have utterly rejected us
and are angry with us without limit.
