哀5:1 Keep in mind, O Lord, what has come to us: take note and see our shame.
哀5:2 我们的产业转归外人，我们的房屋归给异族。

哀5:4 我们所喝的水要用银子买，我们的柴也付代价而得。
哀5:4 We give money for a drink of water, we get our wood for a price.
哀5:5 我们被人追赶，颈项带上重轭；我们疲乏，得不着歇息。
哀5:5 Our attackers are on our necks: overcome with weariness, we have no rest.
哀5:6 我们臣服埃及和亚述，为要得着粮食充饥。
哀5:6 We have given our hands to the Egyptians and to the Assyrians so that we might have enough bread.
哀5:7 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。
哀5:7 Our fathers were sinners and are dead; and the weight of their evil-doing is on us.
哀5:8 奴仆辖制我们；没有人救我们脱离他们的手。
哀5:8 Servants are ruling over us, and there is no one to make us free from their hands.
哀5:9 因为旷野有刀剑的威胁，我们要冒生命的危险才得到粮食。

哀5:10 我们因饥饿而发烧，我们的皮肤好像火炉一般的热。
哀5:10 Our skin is heated like an oven because of our burning heat from need of food.
哀5:11 妇女在锡安被污辱，处女在犹大的城镇被强暴。
哀5:11 They took by force the women in Zion, the virgins in the towns of Judah.
哀5:12 众领袖被敌人吊起来；长老也不受人尊敬。
哀5:12 Their hands put princes to death by hanging: the faces of old men were not honoured.
哀5:13 青年人推磨吃苦；孩童因背木柴而跌倒。
哀5:13 The young men were crushing the grain, and the boys were falling under the wood.
哀5:14 众长老不再坐在城门口；青年人不再唱歌作乐。
哀5:14 The old men are no longer seated in the doorway, and the music of the young men has come to an end.
哀5:15 我们心里不再欢乐；我们的舞蹈变为哀哭。
哀5:15 The joy of our hearts is ended; our dancing is changed into sorrow.
哀5:16 冠冕从我们的头上掉下来。我们有祸了；因为我们犯了罪。
哀5:16 The crown has been taken from our head: sorrow is ours, for we are sinners.
哀5:17 为了这事，我们心里愁烦；为了这事，我们的眼睛昏花；
哀5:17 Because of this our hearts are feeble; for these things our eyes are dark;
哀5:18 因为锡安山荒凉，野狗就在山上到处出没。
哀5:18 Because of the mountain of Zion which is a waste; jackals go over it.
哀5:19 但耶和华啊，你永远坐着为王；你的宝座代代长存。
哀5:19 You, O Lord, are seated as King for ever; the seat of your power is eternal.
哀5:20 你为什么永远忘记我们？为什么长久离弃我们？
哀5:20 Why have we gone from your memory for ever? why have you been turned away from us for so long?
哀5:21 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。
哀5:21 Make us come back to you, O Lord, and let us be turned; make our days new again as in the past.

哀5:22 But you have quite given us up; you are full of wrath against us.
