How the city sits alone / That was full of people! / She who was once great among the nations / Has become like a widow; / She who was a princess among the provinces / Has become tributary.
先前满有人民的城，现在何竟独坐！先前在列国中为大的，现在竟如寡妇；先前在诸省中为王后的，现在成了进贡的。

Bitterly she weeps in the night, / And her tears are on her cheeks. / There is no one to comfort her / Among all her lovers; / All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; / They have become her enemies.
她夜间痛哭，泪流满腮。在她一切所爱的人中间，没有一个安慰她的；她的朋友，都以诡诈待她，成了她的仇敌。

Judah has gone into exile, away from affliction / And away from great servitude; / She dwells among the nations / But finds no rest; / All her pursuers have overtaken her / In the midst of distress.
犹大遭遇苦难，多服劳役，被迁到外邦；她住在列国中，寻不着安息；在急难中，一切追逼她的人将她追上了。

The ways of Zion mourn, / For no one comes to the appointed feast; / All her gates are desolate; / Her priests groan; / Her virgins are afflicted, / And she is in bitterness.
锡安的路径，因无人来守所定的节期就悲伤；她的城门凄凉，她的祭司叹息；她的处女受艰难，自己也在愁苦中。

Her adversaries have become the head; / Her enemies prosper; / For Jehovah has afflicted her / Because of the multitude of her transgressions; / Her little ones have gone into captivity / Before the adversary.
她的敌人为首；她的仇敌亨通；因为她的过犯众多，耶和华使她受苦；她的孩童在敌人面前被掳去。

And all her majesty has departed / From the daughter of Zion; / Her princes have become like deer / That find no pasture, / And they have fled without strength / Before the pursuer.
锡安女子的威荣，全都离去；她的首领，像找不着草场的鹿，在追赶的人面前，无力行走。

In the days of her affliction and her wanderings, / Jerusalem remembers / All her precious things / Which were in the days of old, / When her people fell into the hand of the adversary, / And there was no one to help her. / The adversaries saw her; / They mocked at her downfall.
耶路撒冷在困苦流离之时，就追想古时一切的美事；她百姓落在敌人手中，无人救助；敌人看见她，就嗤笑她的衰败。

Jerusalem has sinned grievously; / Therefore she has become an impurity. / All who honored her despise her, / Because they have seen her nakedness; / And she groans / And turns backwards.
耶路撒冷大大地犯罪，所以成了不洁之物。素来尊敬她的，见她赤露就都藐视她；她自己也叹息，转身退后。

Her uncleanness is in her skirts; / She did not remember her latter end; / Therefore she has come down astonishingly; / There is no one to comfort her. / O Jehovah, see my affliction, / For the enemy has magnified himself.
她的污秽是在衣裙上；她不思想自己末后的结局；所以她令人惊奇的败落，无人安慰她。她说，耶和华啊，求你看我的苦难，因为仇敌自夸为大。

The adversary has spread out his hand / Over all her precious things, / For she has seen the nations / Enter her sanctuary, / Concerning whom You commanded that they should not enter / Into Your assembly.
敌人伸手，夺取她的一切美物；她眼见外邦人进入她的圣所；论到这外邦人，你曾吩咐不可入你的会中。

All her people groan; / They seek bread; / They have given their precious things for food / To restore their soul. / See, O Jehovah, and look, / For I have become despised.
她的民都叹息，寻求食物；他们用美物换粮食，要救回性命。他们说，耶和华啊，求你观看，因为我成了被藐视的。

Is it nothing to you, all who pass by the way? / Look and see / If there is any pain like my pain / Which is dealt to me, / Whom Jehovah has afflicted / In the day of His burning anger.
你们一切过路的人哪，这事你们不介意么？你们要观看，有什么痛苦像我所遭受的痛苦，就是耶和华在祂发烈怒的日子，使我所受的苦。

He has sent fire from on high / Into my bones, and it prevails against them; / He has spread out a net for my feet; / He has turned me back; / He has made me a desolation / And faint all the day.
祂从高天使火进入我的骨头，胜过了我；祂铺下网罗，绊我的脚，使我转回退后；祂使我终日凄凉发昏。

The yoke of my transgressions is bound by His hand; / They are knit together; / They have come up upon my neck; / He has made my strength fail; / The Lord has delivered me into hands / From which I am not able to rise up.
我过犯的轭，是祂手所绑的，都纠缠在一起，上到我的颈项；祂使我的力量衰败。主将我交在我所不能敌挡的人手中。

The Lord has made light of all my mighty men / In my midst; / He has called an assembly against me / To crush my young men. / The Lord has trodden, as in a winepress, / The virgin daughter of Judah.
主轻弃我中间的一切勇士；祂招聚会众攻击我，要压碎我的少年人。主将犹大的处女踹踏，像在酒醡中一样。

For these things I weep; / My eye, my eye runs down with water, / For the comforter who should revive my soul / Is far from me; / My children have become desolate, / Because the enemy has prevailed.
我因这些事哭泣；我的眼睛泪水直流，因为那当安慰我，救回我性命的，离我甚远；我的儿女凄苦，因为仇敌已经得胜。

Zion stretches out her hands, / Yet there is no one to comfort her. / Jehovah has commanded concerning Jacob / That those around him should be his adversaries; / Jerusalem has become an impurity / Among them.
锡安伸出双手，无人安慰；论到雅各，耶和华已经出令，使四围的人作他仇敌；耶路撒冷在他们中间，成了不洁之物。

Jehovah is righteous, / For I have rebelled against His commandment. / Hear now, all the peoples, / And see my pain; / My virgins and my young men / Have gone into captivity.
耶和华是公义的，因我违背了祂的命令。众民哪，请听我的话，看我的痛苦；我的处女和少年人，都被掳去了。

I have called to my lovers; / They have deceived me; / My priests and my elders / Have perished in the city, / While they sought food for themselves / To restore their souls.
我招呼我所爱的人，他们却愚弄我；我的祭司和长老，正寻求食物要救回性命的时候，就在城中灭亡。

See, O Jehovah, for I am in distress, / My bowels are in ferment; / My heart is overturned within me, / For I have been very rebellious. / In the street the sword bereaves; / In the house it is like death.
耶和华啊，求你观看，因为我在急难中，我的心肠翻腾；我的心在我里面翻转，因我曾经大大地悖逆。在街上刀剑使人丧子，在屋里犹如死亡。

They have heard that I groan; / There is no one to comfort me; / All my enemies have heard of my trouble; / They are glad that You have done it. / You will bring the day that You have proclaimed, / And they will be like me.
他们听见我叹息，却无人安慰我；我的仇敌都听见我的患难；因你作了这事，他们就都欢喜。你必使你宣告的日子来到，他们就要像我一样。

Let all their wickedness come before You, / And deal with them / As You have dealt with me / For all my transgressions; / For my sighs are many, / And my heart is faint.
愿他们的恶，都呈到你面前；你怎样因我的一切过犯待我，求你照样待他们；因我叹息甚多，我的心发昏。
