耶利米哀歌-Lamentations 第 5 章

5:1耶和華阿,求你記念我們所遭遇的事;注視觀看我們所受的凌辱。
Remember, O Jehovah, what has come upon us; Look and see our reproach.
5:2我們的產業,轉歸異族人;我們的房屋,轉歸外地人。
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.
5:3我們成了無父的孤兒;我們的母親,好像寡婦。
We are orphans without father; Our mothers are like widows.
5:4我們出錢才得水喝;我們的柴是出了代價買來的。
We have drunk our water for money; Our wood comes to us at a price.
5:5追趕我們的,到了我們的頸項上;我們疲乏,不得歇息。
On our necks are our pursuers; We are weary; we have no rest.
5:6我們投降埃及人和亞述人,為要得糧吃飽。
We have given our hand to Egypt And to Assyria, so as to be satisfied with bread.
5:7我們列祖犯罪,而今不在了,我們卻擔當他們的罪孽。
Our fathers sinned and they are not, And we ourselves bear their iniquities.
5:8奴僕轄制我們;無人救我們脫離他們的手。
Slaves rule over us; There is no one to deliver us from their hand.
5:9因為曠野的刀劍,我們冒性命的危險,才得糧食。
We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword from the wilderness.
5:10因飢餓的燥熱,我們的皮膚黝黑如爐。
Our skin is black like an oven Because of the burning heat of famine.
5:11他們在錫安玷污婦人,在猶大的城邑玷污處女。
They have ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.
5:12首領被他們吊起,老人的面也不受尊敬。
Princes were hanged by them. The faces of the elders were not honored.
5:13少年人扛磨石,孩童背木柴而絆跌。
The young men bore the mill, And the young boys stumbled under the wood.
5:14老年人在城門口絕跡,少年人不再奏樂。
The old men have ceased from the gate, The young men from their music.
5:15我們心中的歡樂止息,跳舞轉為悲哀。
The joy of our heart has ceased; Our dance has been turned into mourning.
5:16冠冕從我們的頭上落下;我們有禍了,因我們犯了罪。
The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us! For we have sinned.
5:17為這事我們的心發昏;為這些事我們的眼昏花。
Because of this our heart is faint; Because of these things our eyes are dim;
5:18因為錫安山荒涼,狐狸行在其上。
Because of Mount Zion, which is desolate-Foxes rove in it.
5:19耶和華阿,你存到永遠,你的寶座,存到萬代。
You, O Jehovah, abide forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.
5:20你為何永遠忘記我們,為何長久離棄我們?
Why do You forget us forever And forsake us for so long a time?
5:21耶和華阿,求你使我們回轉,我們便得回轉;求你更新我們的日子,像古時一樣。
Turn to us, O Jehovah, and we will be turned; Renew our days as before.
5:22或是你已經全然棄絕我們,向我們大發烈怒?
Or have You utterly rejected us? Are You exceedingly angry with us?
