1 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. 2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. 3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. 4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. 5 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest. 6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. 8 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand. 9 We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. 10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. 11 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah. 12 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured. 13 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. 14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick. 15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. 16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim. 18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. 19 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. 20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time? 21 Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. 22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
1 耶和华啊！ 求你记念我们所遭遇的！ 垂顾关注我们的耻辱。
2 我们的产业转归外人， 我们的房屋归给异族。
3 我们成为孤儿， 没有父亲， 我们的母亲好像寡妇一样。
4 我们所喝的水要用银子买， 我们的柴也付代价而得。
5 我们被人追赶， 颈项带上重轭； 我们疲乏， 得不着歇息。
6 我们臣服埃及和亚述， 为要得着粮食充饥。
7 我们的先祖犯了罪， 现在他们不在了； 我们却要担负他们的罪孽。
8 奴仆辖制我们； 没有人救我们脱离他们的手。
9 因为旷野有刀剑的威胁， 我们要冒生命的危险才得到粮食。
10 我们因饥饿而发烧， 我们的皮肤好像火炉一般的热。
11 妇女在锡安被污辱， 处女在犹大的城镇被强暴。
12 众领袖被敌人吊起来； 长老也不受人尊敬。
13 青年人推磨吃苦； 孩童因背木柴而跌倒。
14 众长老不再坐在城门口； 青年人不再唱歌作乐。
15 我们心里不再欢乐； 我们的舞蹈变为哀哭。
16 冠冕从我们的头上掉下来。我们有祸了； 因为我们犯了罪。
17 为了这事， 我们心里愁烦； 为了这事， 我们的眼睛昏花；
18 因为锡安山荒凉， 野狗就在山上到处出没。
19 但耶和华啊， 你永远坐着为王； 你的宝座代代长存。
20 你为什么永远忘记我们？为什么长久离弃我们？
21 耶和华啊！ 除非你真的弃绝我们， 你向我们所发的怒气难收， 不然， 求你使我们归向你， 好使我们回转过来； 求你更新我们的日子， 像古时一样。
