| 個人所受的苦 |
| 3:1 | [NASB] I am the man who has seen affliction Because of the rod of His wrath. |
| 3:2 | [NASB] He has driven me and made me walk In darkness and not in light. |
| 3:3 | [NASB] Surely against me He has turned His hand Repeatedly all the day. |
| 3:4 | [NASB] He has caused my flesh and my skin to waste away, He has broken my bones. |
| 3:5 | [NASB] He has besieged and encompassed me with bitterness and hardship. |
| 3:6 | [NASB] In dark places He has made me dwell, Like those who have long been dead. |
| 3:7 | [NASB] He has walled me in so that I cannot go out; He has made my chain heavy. |
| 3:8 | [NASB] Even when I cry out and call for help, He shuts out my prayer. |
| 3:9 | [NASB] He has blocked my ways with hewn stone; He has made my paths crooked. |
| 3:10 | [NASB] He is to me like a bear lying in wait, {Like} a lion in secret places. |
| 3:11 | [NASB] He has turned aside my ways and torn me to pieces; He has made me desolate. |
| 3:12 | [NASB] He bent His bow And set me as a target for the arrow. |
| 3:13 | [NASB] He made the arrows of His quiver To enter into my inward parts. |
| 3:14 | [NASB] I have become a laughingstock to all my people, Their {mocking} song all the day. |
| 3:15 | [NASB] He has filled me with bitterness, He has made me drunk with wormwood. |
| 3:16 | [NASB] He has broken my teeth with gravel; He has made me cower in the dust. |
| 3:17 | [NASB] My soul has been rejected from peace; I have forgotten happiness. |
| 3:18 | [NASB] So I say, "My strength has perished, And {so has} my hope from the LORD." |
| 仍有指望 |
| 3:19 | [NASB] Remember my affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and bitterness. |
| 3:20 | [NASB] Surely my soul remembers And is bowed down within me. |
| 3:21 | [NASB] This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. |
| 3:22 | [NASB] The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. |
| 3:23 | [NASB] {They} are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. |
| 3:24 | [NASB] "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him." |
| 3:25 | [NASB] The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him. |
| 3:26 | [NASB] {It is} good that he waits silently For the salvation of the LORD. |
| 3:27 | [NASB] {It is} good for a man that he should bear The yoke in his youth. |
| 3:28 | [NASB] Let him sit alone and be silent Since He has laid {it} on him. |
| 3:29 | [NASB] Let him put his mouth in the dust, Perhaps there is hope. |
| 3:30 | [NASB] Let him give his cheek to the smiter, Let him be filled with reproach. |
| 3:31 | [NASB] For the Lord will not reject forever, |
| 3:32 | [NASB] For if He causes grief, Then He will have compassion According to His abundant lovingkindness. |
| 3:33 | [NASB] For He does not afflict willingly Or grieve the sons of men. |
| 3:34 | [NASB] To crush under His feet All the prisoners of the land, |
| 3:35 | [NASB] To deprive a man of justice In the presence of the Most High, |
| 3:36 | [NASB] To defraud a man in his lawsuit-- Of these things the Lord does not approve. |
| 3:37 | [NASB] Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass, Unless the Lord has commanded {it?} |
| 3:38 | [NASB] {Is it} not from the mouth of the Most High That both good and ill go forth? |
| 3:39 | [NASB] Why should {any} living mortal, or {any} man, Offer complaint in view of his sins? |
| 苦難中求 神垂聽伸冤 |
| 3:40 | [NASB] Let us examine and probe our ways, And let us return to the LORD. |
| 3:41 | [NASB] We lift up our heart and hands Toward God in heaven; |
| 3:42 | [NASB] We have transgressed and rebelled, You have not pardoned. |
| 3:43 | [NASB] You have covered {Yourself} with anger And pursued us; You have slain {and} have not spared. |
| 3:44 | [NASB] You have covered Yourself with a cloud So that no prayer can pass through. |
| 3:45 | [NASB] {You have made us mere} offscouring and refuse In the midst of the peoples. |
| 3:46 | [NASB] All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. |
| 3:47 | [NASB] Panic and pitfall have befallen us, Devastation and destruction; |
| 3:48 | [NASB] My eyes run down with streams of water Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people. |
| 3:49 | [NASB] My eyes pour down unceasingly, Without stopping, |
| 3:50 | [NASB] Until the LORD looks down And sees from heaven. |
| 3:51 | [NASB] My eyes bring pain to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city. |
| 3:52 | [NASB] My enemies without cause Hunted me down like a bird; |
| 3:53 | [NASB] They have silenced me in the pit And have placed a stone on me. |
| 3:54 | [NASB] Waters flowed over my head; I said, "I am cut off!" |
| 3:55 | [NASB] I called on Your name, O LORD, Out of the lowest pit. |
| 3:56 | [NASB] You have heard my voice, "Do not hide Your ear from my {prayer for} relief, From my cry for help." |
| 3:57 | [NASB] You drew near when I called on You; You said, "Do not fear!" |
| 3:58 | [NASB] O Lord, You have pleaded my soul's cause; You have redeemed my life. |
| 3:59 | [NASB] O LORD, You have seen my oppression; Judge my case. |
| 3:60 | [NASB] You have seen all their vengeance, All their schemes against me. |
| 3:61 | [NASB] You have heard their reproach, O LORD, All their schemes against me. |
| 3:62 | [NASB] The lips of my assailants and their whispering {Are} against me all day long. |
| 3:63 | [NASB] Look on their sitting and their rising; I am their mocking song. |
| 3:64 | [NASB] You will recompense them, O LORD, According to the work of their hands. |
| 3:65 | [NASB] You will give them hardness of heart, Your curse will be on them. |
| 3:66 | [NASB] You will pursue them in anger and destroy them From under the heavens of the LORD! |
| 說明受罰乃因犯罪 |
| 4:1 | [NASB] How dark the gold has become, {How} the pure gold has changed! The sacred stones are poured out At the corner of every street. |
| 4:2 | [NASB] The precious sons of Zion, Weighed against fine gold, How they are regarded as earthen jars, The work of a potter's hands! |
| 4:3 | [NASB] Even jackals offer the breast, They nurse their young; {But} the daughter of my people has become cruel Like ostriches in the wilderness. |
| 4:4 | [NASB] The tongue of the infant cleaves To the roof of its mouth because of thirst; The little ones ask for bread, {But} no one breaks {it} for them. |
| 4:5 | [NASB] Those who ate delicacies Are desolate in the streets; Those reared in purple Embrace ash pits. |
| 4:6 | [NASB] For the iniquity of the daughter of my people Is greater than the sin of Sodom, Which was overthrown as in a moment, And no hands were turned toward her. |
| 4:7 | [NASB] Her consecrated ones were purer than snow, They were whiter than milk; They were more ruddy {in} body than corals, Their polishing {was like} lapis lazuli. |
| 4:8 | [NASB] Their appearance is blacker than soot, They are not recognized in the streets; Their skin is shriveled on their bones, It is withered, it has become like wood. |
| 4:9 | [NASB] Better are those slain with the sword Than those slain with hunger; For they pine away, being stricken For lack of the fruits of the field. |
| 4:10 | [NASB] The hands of compassionate women Boiled their own children; They became food for them Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people. |
| 4:11 | [NASB] The LORD has accomplished His wrath, He has poured out His fierce anger; And He has kindled a fire in Zion Which has consumed its foundations. |
| 4:12 | [NASB] The kings of the earth did not believe, Nor {did} any of the inhabitants of the world, That the adversary and the enemy Could enter the gates of Jerusalem. |
| 4:13 | [NASB] Because of the sins of her prophets {And} the iniquities of her priests, Who have shed in her midst The blood of the righteous; |
| 4:14 | [NASB] They wandered, blind, in the streets; They were defiled with blood So that no one could touch their garments. |
| 4:15 | [NASB] "Depart! Unclean!" they cried of themselves. "Depart, depart, do not touch!" So they fled and wandered; {Men} among the nations said, "They shall not continue to dwell {with us.}" |
| 4:16 | [NASB] The presence of the LORD has scattered them, He will not continue to regard them; They did not honor the priests, They did not favor the elders. |
| 4:17 | [NASB] Yet our eyes failed, {Looking} for help was useless; In our watching we have watched For a nation that could not save. |
| 4:18 | [NASB] They hunted our steps So that we could not walk in our streets; Our end drew near, Our days were finished For our end had come. |
| 4:19 | [NASB] Our pursuers were swifter Than the eagles of the sky; They chased us on the mountains, They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness. |
| 4:20 | [NASB] The breath of our nostrils, the LORD'S anointed, Was captured in their pits, Of whom we had said, "Under his shadow We shall live among the nations." |
| 4:21 | [NASB] Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, Who dwells in the land of Uz; {But} the cup will come around to you as well, You will become drunk and make yourself naked. |
| 4:22 | [NASB] {The punishment} of your iniquity has been completed, O daughter of Zion; He will exile you no longer. {But} He will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom; He will expose your sins! |
| 認罪並求復興 |
| 5:1 | [NASB] Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us; Look, and see our reproach! |
| 5:2 | [NASB] Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to aliens. |
| 5:3 | [NASB] We have become orphans without a father, Our mothers are like widows. |
| 5:4 | [NASB] We have to pay for our drinking water, Our wood comes {to us} at a price. |
| 5:5 | [NASB] Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, there is no rest for us. |
| 5:6 | [NASB] We have submitted to Egypt {and} Assyria to get enough bread. |
| 5:7 | [NASB] Our fathers sinned, {and} are no more; It is we who have borne their iniquities. |
| 5:8 | [NASB] Slaves rule over us; There is no one to deliver us from their hand. |
| 5:9 | [NASB] We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness. |
| 5:10 | [NASB] Our skin has become as hot as an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine. |
| 5:11 | [NASB] They ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah. |
| 5:12 | [NASB] Princes were hung by their hands; Elders were not respected. |
| 5:13 | [NASB] Young men worked at the grinding mill, And youths stumbled under {loads} of wood. |
| 5:14 | [NASB] Elders are gone from the gate, Young men from their music. |
| 5:15 | [NASB] The joy of our hearts has ceased; Our dancing has been turned into mourning. |
| 5:16 | [NASB] The crown has fallen from our head; Woe to us, for we have sinned! |
| 5:17 | [NASB] Because of this our heart is faint, Because of these things our eyes are dim; |
| 5:18 | [NASB] Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate, Foxes prowl in it. |
| 5:19 | [NASB] You, O LORD, rule forever; Your throne is from generation to generation. |
| 5:20 | [NASB] Why do You forget us forever? Why do You forsake us so long? |
| 5:21 | [NASB] Restore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored; Renew our days as of old, |
| 5:22 | [NASB] Unless You have utterly rejected us {And} are exceedingly angry with us. |
