Lamentations:Chapter 1

哀歌	Lamentations
¹怎麼！這個人煙稠密的京都，卻孤坐獨處！從前是萬民的主母，現在好像成了寡婦；往日是諸郡的王后，如今竟然成了奴僕！	¹Aleph. How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people! how is the mistress of the Gentiles become as a widow: the princes of provinces made tributary!
²她夜間痛哭飲泣，眼淚流滿雙頰；她所有的愛人，卻沒有一個前來安慰她；她的親友都背棄了她，成了她的冤家！	²Beth. Weeping she hath wept in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: there is none to comfort her among all them that were dear to her: all her friends have despised her, and are become her enemies.
³猶大已經流亡遠去，備受壓迫奴役；散居在異民中間，再不得安息；她處於絕境之中，所有迫害她的人，盡來相逼！	³Ghimel. Juda hath removed her dwelling place because of her affliction, and the greatness of her bondage: she hath dwelt among the nations, and she hath found no rest: all her persecutors have taken her in the midst of straits.
⁴熙雍的街道悲慘淒涼，因無人前來過節！她的城門零落蕭條，司祭哀嘆，處女惆悵；她已憂苦備嘗！	⁴Daleth. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the solemn feast: all her gates are broken down: her priests sigh: her virgins are in affliction, and she is oppressed with bitterness.
⁵她的敵人得了優勢，仇人獲得勝利，都因她犯罪多端，而遭受了上主的懲罰；她的幼兒被擄去，在敵人面前作囚徒。	⁵He. Her adversaries are become her lords, her enemies are enriched: because the Lord hath spoken against her for the multitude of her iniquities: her children are led into captivity: before the face of the oppressor.
⁶一切華麗，已經都由熙雍女郎身上消失；她的首長好像找不到牧埸的公羊，受追逐者驅使，無力前行。	⁶Vau. And from the daughter of Sion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like rams that find no pastures: and they are gone away without strength before the face of the pursuer.
⁷耶路撒冷在困苦和患難的時日，回憶昔日享有的一切榮華；現在呢？當她的人民陷入敵人手中時，竟然沒有人來施救！仇人看見了她，都嘲笑她的滅亡。	⁷Zain. Jerusalem hath remembered the days of her affliction, and prevarication of all her desirable things which she had from the days of old, when her people fell in the enemy's hand, and there was no helper: the enemies have seen her, and have mocked at her sabbaths.
⁸耶路撒冷犯罪作惡，因而成了可憎惡的；昔日尊重她的人，今日一見到她的裸體，都予以輕視；而她自己只有飲泣，轉身退去。	⁸Heth. Jerusalem hath grievously sinned, therefore is she become unstable: all that honoured her have despised her, because they have seen her shame: but she sighed and turned backward.
⁹她的污穢沾滿了她的衣裙，她從未想到會有如此的結局，以致一落千丈，卻沒有人安慰。「上主，求你憐視我的痛苦，因為敵人正在意氣高揚。	⁹Teth. Her filthiness is on her feet, and she hath not remembered her end: she is wonderfully cast down, not having a comforter: behold, O Lord, my affliction, because the enemy is lifted up.
¹⁰暴徒伸手劫掠了她所有的珍寶：你雖然嚴禁異民進入你的集會，她卻眼看着他們闖進聖所。	¹⁰Jod. The enemy hath put out his hand to all her desirable things: for she hath seen the Gentiles enter into her sanctuary, of whom thou gavest commandment that they should not enter into thy church.
¹¹她所有的人民都在嘆息，搜求食糧；而應交出珍寶，換取食物，以維持生活。上主，求你垂視眷顧，我怎樣受人輕慢！」	¹¹Caph. All her people sigh, they seek bread: they have given all their precious things for food to relieve the soul: see, O Lord, and consider, for I am become vile.
¹²一切過路的人啊！請你們細細觀察，看看有沒有痛苦能像我所受的痛苦？因為上主在他盛怒之日，折磨了我！	¹²Lamed. O all ye that pass by the way, attend, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow: for he hath made a vintage of me, as the Lord spoke in the day of his fierce anger.
¹³他從上降下火來，深入我的骨骸；他在我腳下設下羅網，使我陷落；他使我終日孤寂，惆悵不已。	¹³Mem. From above he hath sent fire into my bones, and hath chastised me: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate, wasted with sorrow all the day long.
¹⁴上主親手把我罪過的軛，緊縛在我的頸上，使我筋疲力竭；他將我交於我不能抵抗的人手中。	¹⁴Nun. The yoke of my iniquities hath watched: they are folded together in his hand, and put upon my neck: my strength is weakened: the Lord hath delivered me into a hand out of which I am not able to rise.
¹⁵上主拋棄了我中間的勇士，召集盛會，與我為敵，粉碎我的精銳；上主好像踐踏酒醡一樣，踐踏原是處女的猶大女郎。	¹⁵Samech. The Lord hath taken away all my mighty men out of the midst of me: he hath called against me the time, to destroy my chosen men: the Lord hath trodden the winepress for the virgin daughter of Juda.
¹⁶我之所以痛苦，滿眼流淚，是因為鼓舞我心靈的安慰者，已經離我遠去；我的子女已經孤獨無援，而敵人卻正在得勢。	¹⁶Ain. Therefore do I weep, and my eyes run down with water: because the comforter, the relief of my soul, is far from me: my children are desolate because the enemy hath prevailed.
¹⁷熙雍雖然伸開雙手，卻無人予以安慰；上主召喚四周的人與雅各伯為敵：耶路撒冷在人眼中，成了可憎的污穢之物。	¹⁷Phe. Sion hath spread forth her hands, there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath commanded against Jacob, his enemies are round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
¹⁸唯有上主是公義的，因為我違背了他的訓示。一切民族！請你們聽一聽，看一看我的痛苦：我的處女和壯丁，都已充軍去了。	¹⁸Sade. The Lord is just, for I have provoked his mouth to wrath: hear, I pray you, all ye people, and see my sorrow: my virgins, and my young men are gone into captivity.
¹⁹我向愛人求救，但他們都捨棄了我，我的司祭和長老，雖然尋覓食糧以求活命，但他們卻在城中氣絕喪命。	¹⁹Coph. I called for my friends, but they deceived me: my priests and my ancients pined away in the city: while they sought their food, to relieve their souls.
²⁰上主，求你憐視，因為我實在痛苦：五內恐懼，心如倒懸，因為我常背命頑抗。外邊有刀劍使我喪子，在家裏有人死亡。	²⁰Res. Behold, O Lord, for I am in distress, my bowels are troubled: my heart is turned within me, for I am full of bitterness: abroad the sword destroyeth, and at home there is death alike.
²¹人們都聽到我嘆息，卻沒有人安慰我；仇人聽到我遭難，無不慶幸你的所為；但是到了你所規定的日子，他們必然與我相同。	²¹Sin. They have heard that I sigh, and there is none to comfort me: all my enemies have heard of my evil, they have rejoiced that thou hast done it: thou hast brought a day of consolation, and they shall be like unto me.
²²願他們的罪惡擺在你眼前！你怎樣為了我的各種罪惡，對待了我，也願怎樣對待他們！因為我屢次嘆息，我的心已萎靡不振。	²²Thau. Let all their evil be present before thee: and make vintage of them, as thou hast made vintage of me for all my iniquities: for my sighs are many, and my heart is sorrowful.
