哀2:1 主在烈怒中，怎么竟然使黑云遮盖锡安的居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）！他把以色列的荣美，从天上抛到地上；他在发怒的日子，竟不记念自己的脚凳。
哀2:1 How has the daughter of Zion been covered with a cloud by the Lord in his wrath! he has sent down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel, and has not kept in memory the resting-place of his feet in the day of his wrath.
哀2:2 主吞灭了雅各所有住处，毫不顾惜；他在忿怒中，把犹大居民的坚固城拆毁；他使国家和国中众领袖都倒在地上，受尽羞辱。
哀2:2 The Lord has given up to destruction all the living-places of Jacob without pity; pulling down in his wrath the strong places of the daughter of Judah, stretching out on the earth the wounded, even her king and her rulers.
哀2:3 他在烈怒中砍断以色列所有的角；他从仇敌面前，收回自己的右手。他像吞灭四周对象的火焰，在雅各中间焚烧。
哀2:3 In his burning wrath every horn of Israel has been cut off; his right hand has been turned back before the attacker: he has put a fire in Jacob, causing destruction round about.
哀2:4 他像仇敌拉弓，他的右手已经预备好。他像敌人把一切悦人眼目的都杀灭了；他如火的忿怒倒在锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的帐棚上。
哀2:4 His bow has been bent for the attack, he has taken his place with his hand ready, in his hate he has put to death all who were pleasing to the eye: on the tent of the daughter of Zion he has let loose his passion like fire.
哀2:5 主好像成了仇敌；他吞灭了以色列和她所有的宫殿，毁坏了她的坚固城。他在犹大居民的中间，增添了悲哀和哭号。
哀2:5 The Lord has become like one fighting against her, sending destruction on Israel; he has sent destruction on all her great houses, making waste his strong places: increasing the grief and the sorrow of the daughter of Judah.
哀2:6 他把自己的住所破坏，好像园子一样；他毁坏了属他的聚会之处。耶和华使节期和安息日都在锡安被忘记；他在他的盛怒中弃绝了君王和祭司。
哀2:6 And he has violently taken away his tent, as from a garden; he has made waste his meeting-place: the Lord has taken away the memory of feast and Sabbath in Zion, and in the passion of his wrath he is against king and priest.
哀2:7 主丢弃了自己的祭坛，厌弃了自己的圣所。他把宫殿的围墙，交付在仇敌的手里；他们在耶和华的殿中喧嚷，好像庆祝节日一样。
哀2:7 The Lord has given up his altar and has been turned in hate from his holy place; he has given up into the hands of the attacker the walls of her great houses: their voices have been loud in the house of the Lord as in the day of a holy meeting.
哀2:8 耶和华定意要拆毁锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的城墙；他拉了准绳，决不停手，务要把它吞灭。他使堡垒和城墙都悲哀，一同受痛苦。
哀2:8 It is the Lord's purpose to make waste the wall of the daughter of Zion; his line has been stretched out, he has not kept back his hand from destruction: he has sent sorrow on tower and wall, they have become feeble together.
哀2:9 锡安的众城门已经陷入地里；耶和华把锡安的门闩都毁坏折断了。锡安的君王和领袖都身在列国中；锡安再没有律法了；它的众先知也得不到从耶和华而来的异象。
哀2:9 Her doors have gone down into the earth; he has sent destruction on her locks: her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not; even her prophets have had no vision from the Lord.
哀2:10 锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的长老都坐在地上，默默无声；他们把尘灰撒在头上，腰束麻布。耶路撒冷的处女都垂头至地。
哀2:10 The responsible men of the daughter of Zion are seated on the earth without a word; they have put dust on their heads, they are clothed in haircloth: the heads of the virgins of Jerusalem are bent down to the earth.
哀2:11 我的眼睛因流泪而失明，我的心肠激动，我的肝胆倾倒在地，都因我的子民（“我的子民”原文作“我子民的女子”）遭毁灭，孩童和婴儿在城里的街上昏倒。
哀2:11 My eyes are wasted with weeping, the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved, my inner parts are drained out on the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because of the young children and babies at the breast who are falling without strength in the open squares of the town.
哀2:12 他们像被刺伤的人昏倒在城里街上的时候，他们在母亲的怀里快要丧命的时候，他们就问母亲：“五谷和酒在哪里呢？”
哀2:12 They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they are falling like the wounded in the open squares of the town, when their life is drained out on their mother's breast.
哀2:13 耶路撒冷的居民哪，我怎样向你说明呢？用什么与你比较呢？锡安的居民哪，我们用什么跟你相比，好安慰你呢？你的裂口像海那样大，谁能医治你呢？
哀2:13 What example am I to give you? what comparison am I to make for you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what am I to make equal to you, so that I may give you comfort, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your destruction is great like the sea: who is able to make you well?
哀2:14 你的假先知为了你所见的异象，尽是虚谎和愚昧；他们没有显露你的罪孽，使你的命运得以挽回；他们为你所得的默示，全是虚谎，是引人走错路的。
哀2:14 The visions which your prophets have seen for you are false and foolish; they have not made clear to you your sin so that your fate might be changed: but they have seen for you false words, driving you away.
哀2:15 所有过路的人，都拍掌嘲笑你；他们嗤笑耶路撒冷的居民，并摇头说：“被人称为最完美，为全地所喜悦的，就是这城吗？”
哀2:15 All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth?
哀2:16 你所有的仇敌都张开口攻击你，他们嗤笑你，又咬牙切齿，说：“我们吞灭它了！这真是我们期待的日子！我们等到了！亲眼看见了！”
哀2:16 All your haters are opening their mouths wide against you; making hisses and whistling through their teeth, they say, We have made a meal of her: certainly this is the day we have been looking for; it has come, we have seen it.
哀2:17 耶和华作成了他定意去作的，成就了他的话，就是他昔日所宣告的，他把你拆毁，并不怜惜，他使仇敌因胜过你而高兴，他高举你敌人的角。
哀2:17 The Lord has done that which was his purpose; he has put into force the orders which he gave in the days which are past; pulling down without pity, he has made your hater glad over you, lifting up the horn of those who were against you.
哀2:18 锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的城墙啊，你要一心向主哀求；愿你的眼泪像江河般涌流，昼夜不息；愿你得不着歇息，愿你眼中的瞳人不能休息。
哀2:18 Let your cry go up to the Lord: O wall of the daughter of Zion, let your weeping be flowing down like a stream day and night; give yourself no rest, let not your eyes keep back the drops of sorrow.
哀2:19 夜里每到交更的时分，你要起来呼喊；在主面前你要倾心如水！你的孩童在各街头上因饥饿而昏倒，你要为他们的性命向主举手祷告。
哀2:19 Up! give cries in the night, at the starting of the night-watches; let your heart be flowing out like water before the face of the Lord, lifting up your hands to him for the life of your young children who are falling down, feeble for need of food, at the top of every street.
哀2:20 “耶和华啊，求你观看！求你鉴察！你曾这样对待过谁呢？难道妇人应该吃掉自己所生的，就是自己所抚养的婴孩吗？难道祭司和先知应该在主的圣所里被杀害吗？”
哀2:20 Look! O Lord, see to whom you have done this! Are the women to take as their food the fruit of their bodies, the children who are folded in their arms? are the priest and the prophet to be put to death in the holy place of the Lord?
哀2:21 少年人和老年人都在街上倒卧在地死了；我的年轻男女都倒毙于刀下；在你忿怒的日子，你杀了他们，你屠杀了他们，毫不怜惜。
哀2:21 The young men and the old are stretched on the earth in the streets; my virgins and my young men have been put to the sword: you have sent death on them in the day of your wrath, causing death without pity.
哀2:22 你从四围招聚惊吓我的，好像招聚人过节的日子一样。在耶和华忿怒的日子，没有人可以逃脱，可以生存。我所抚育、所养大的，我的仇敌都灭尽了。
哀2:22 As in the day of a holy meeting you have made fears come round me on every side, and no one got away or was kept safe in the day of the Lord's wrath: those who were folded in my arms, whom I took care of, have been sent to their destruction by my hater.
