先前滿有人民的城，現在何竟獨坐！先前在列國中為大的，現在竟如寡婦；先前在諸省中為王后的，現在成為進貢的。
|
|
|
|
How doth the city sit# solitary,
that was full of people!
how is she become as a widow! she
that was great among the nations,
and princess among the provinces,
how is she become tributary!
|
|
|

|
她夜間痛哭，淚流滿腮；在一切所親愛的中間沒有一個安慰她的。她的朋友都以詭詐待她，成為她的仇敵。
|
|
|
|
She weepeth# sore# in the night, and her tears
are on her cheeks: among all her lovers# she hath none to comfort#
her : all her friends have dealt treacherously# with her, they are become her enemies# .
|
|
|

|
猶大因遭遇苦難，又因多服勞苦就遷到外邦。她住在列國中，尋不著安息；追逼她的都在狹窄之地將她追上。
|
|
|
|
Judah is gone into captivity# because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth# among the heathen, she findeth# no rest: all her persecutors# overtook# her between the straits.
[because of great...: Heb. for the greatness of servitude]
|

|
錫安的路徑因無人來守聖節就悲傷；她的城門淒涼；她的祭司歎息；她的處女受艱難，自己也愁苦。
|
|
|
|
The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come# to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate# : her priests sigh# , her virgins are afflicted# , and she
is in bitterness# .
|
|
|
5
|
她的敵人為首；她的仇敵亨通；因耶和華為她許多的罪過使她受苦；她的孩童被敵人擄去。
|
|
|
|
Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies# prosper# ; for the LORD hath afflicted# her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone# into captivity before the enemy.
|
|
|
6
|
錫安城（原文是女子；下同）的威榮全都失去。她的首領像找不著草場的鹿；在追趕的人前無力行走。
|
|
|
|
And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed# : her princes are become like harts
that find# no pasture, and they are gone# without strength before the pursuer# .
|
|
|
7
|
耶路撒冷在困苦窘迫之時，就追想古時一切的樂境。她百姓落在敵人手中，無人救濟；敵人看見，就因她的荒涼嗤笑。
|
|
|
|
Jerusalem remembered# in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell# into the hand of the enemy, and none did help# her: the adversaries saw# her,
and did mock# at her sabbaths.
[pleasant: or, desirable]
|
|
|
8
|
耶路撒冷大大犯罪，所以成為不潔之物；素來尊敬她的，見她赤露就都藐視她；她自己也歎息退後。
|
|
|
|
Jerusalem hath grievously sinned# ; therefore she is removed: all that honoured# her despise# her, because they have seen# her nakedness: yea, she sigheth# , and turneth# backward.
[is...: Heb. is become a removing, or, wandering]
|
|
|
9
|
她的污穢是在衣襟上；她不思想自己的結局，所以非常地敗落，無人安慰她。她說：耶和華啊，求你看我的苦難，因為仇敵誇大。
|
|
|
|
Her filthiness
is in her skirts; she remembereth# not her last end; therefore she came down# wonderfully: she had no comforter# . O LORD, behold# my affliction: for the enemy# hath magnified#
himself .
|
|
|
10
|
敵人伸手，奪取她的美物；她眼見外邦人進入她的聖所─論這外邦人，你曾吩咐不可入你的會中。
|
|
|
|
The adversary hath spread out# his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen#
that the heathen entered# into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command#
that they should not enter# into thy congregation.
[pleasant: or, desirable]
|
|
|
11
|
她的民都歎息，尋求食物；他們用美物換糧食，要救性命。他們說：耶和華啊，求你觀看，因為我甚是卑賤。
|
|
|
|
All her people sigh# , they seek# bread; they have given# their pleasant things# # for meat to relieve# the soul: see# , O LORD, and consider# ; for I am become vile# .
[to...: or, to make the soul to come again]
|
|
|
12
|
你們一切過路的人哪，這事你們不介意嗎？你們要觀看：有像這臨到我的痛苦沒有─就是耶和華在他發烈怒的日子使我所受的苦？
|
|
|
|
Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass# by? behold# , and see# if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done# unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted#
me in the day of his fierce anger.
[Is it...: or, It is nothing]
[pass by: Heb. pass by the way?]
|
|
|
13
|
他從高天使火進入我的骨頭，剋制了我；他鋪下網羅，絆我的腳，使我轉回；他使我終日淒涼發昏。
|
|
|
|
From above hath he sent# fire into my bones, and it prevaileth# against them: he hath spread# a net for my feet, he hath turned# me back: he hath made# me desolate#
and faint all the day.
|
|
|
14
|
我罪過的軛是他手所綁的，猶如軛繩縛在我頸項上；他使我的力量衰敗。主將我交在我所不能敵擋的人手中。
|
|
|
|
The yoke of my transgressions is bound# by his hand: they are wreathed# ,
and come up# upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall# , the Lord hath delivered# me into
their hands,
from whom I am not able# to rise up# .
|
|
|
15
|
主輕棄我中間的一切勇士，招聚多人（原文是大會）攻擊我，要壓碎我的少年人。主將猶大居民踹下，像在酒醡中一樣。
|
|
|
|
The Lord hath trodden under foot# all my mighty
men in the midst of me: he hath called# an assembly against me to crush# my young men: the Lord hath trodden# the virgin, the daughter of Judah,
as in a winepress.
[the virgin...: or, the winepress of the virgin, etc]
|
|
|
16
|
我因這些事哭泣；我眼淚汪汪；因為那當安慰我、救我性命的，離我甚遠。我的兒女孤苦，因為仇敵得了勝。
|
|
|
|
For these
things I weep# ; mine eye, mine eye runneth down# with water, because the comforter# that should relieve# my soul is far# from me: my children are desolate# , because the enemy# prevailed# .
[relieve: Heb. bring back]
|
|
|
17
|
錫安舉手，無人安慰。耶和華論雅各已經出令，使四圍的人作他仇敵；耶路撒冷在他們中間像不潔之物。
|
|
|
|
Zion spreadeth forth# her hands,
and there is none to comfort# her: the LORD hath commanded# concerning Jacob,
that his adversaries
should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
|
|
|
18
|
耶和華是公義的！他這樣待我，是因我違背他的命令。眾民哪，請聽我的話，看我的痛苦；我的處女和少年人都被擄去。
|
|
|
|
The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled# against his commandment: hear# , I pray you, all people, and behold# my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone# into captivity.
[commandment: Heb. mouth]
|
|
|
19
|
我招呼我所親愛的，他們卻愚弄我。我的祭司和長老正尋求食物、救性命的時候，就在城中絕氣。
|
|
|
|
I called# for my lovers# ,
but they deceived# me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost# in the city, while they sought# their meat to relieve# their souls.
|
|
|
20
|
耶和華啊，求你觀看，因為我在急難中。我心腸擾亂；我心在我裏面翻轉，因我大大悖逆。在外，刀劍使人喪子；在家，猶如死亡。
|
|
|
|
Behold# , O LORD; for I
am in distress# : my bowels are troubled# ; mine heart is turned# within me; for I have grievously# rebelled# : abroad the sword bereaveth# , at home
there is as death.
|
|
|
21
|
聽見我歎息的有人；安慰我的卻無人！我的仇敵都聽見我所遭的患難；因你做這事，他們都喜樂。你必使你報告的日子來到，他們就像我一樣。
|
|
|
|
They have heard# that I sigh# :
there is none to comfort# me: all mine enemies# have heard# of my trouble; they are glad# that thou hast done#
it : thou wilt bring# the day
that thou hast called# , and they shall be like unto me.
[called: or, proclaimed]
|
|
|
22
|
願他們的惡行都呈在你面前；你怎樣因我的一切罪過待我，求你照樣待他們；因我歎息甚多，心中發昏。
|
|
|
|
Let all their wickedness come# before thee; and do# unto them, as thou hast done# unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs
are many, and my heart
is faint.
|
