4:1

黄金何其失光！纯金何其变色！圣所的石头倒在各市口上。
|
|
|
How is the gold become dim! [how] is the most pure gold changed! The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.
|
|
4:2
|
锡安宝贵的众子好比精金，现在何竟算为窑匠手所做的瓦瓶？
|
|
|
The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, How are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
|
|
4:3
|
野狗尚且把奶乳哺其子，我民的妇人倒成为残忍，好像旷野的鸵鸟一般。
|
|
|
Even the jackals draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: The daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
|
|
4:4
|
吃奶孩子的舌头因干渴贴住上膛；孩童求饼，无人擘给他们。

|
|
4:6

|
|
4:9

4:11
|
耶和华发怒成就他所定的，倒出他的烈怒；在锡安使火着起，烧毁锡安的根基。

他们在街上如瞎子乱走，又被血玷污，以致人不能摸他们的衣服。
|
|
|
They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, So that men cannot touch their garments.
|
|
4:15

人向他们喊着说：不洁净的，躲开，躲开！不要挨近我！他们逃走飘流的时候，列国中有人说：他们不可仍在这里寄居。

Depart ye, they cried unto them, Unclean! depart, depart, touch not! When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, They shall no more sojourn [here].
|
|
4:16
|
耶和华发怒，将他们分散，不再眷顾他们；人不重看祭司，也不厚待长老。

The anger of Jehovah hath scattered them; he will no more regard them: They respected not the persons of the priests, they favored not the elders.
|
|
4:17
|
我们仰望人来帮助，以致眼目失明，还是枉然；我们所盼望的，竟盼望一个不能救人的国！

Our eyes do yet fail [in looking] for our vain help: In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
|
|
4:18
|
仇敌追赶我们的脚步像打猎的，以致我们不敢在自己的街上行走。我们的结局临近；我们的日子满足；我们的结局来到了。

They hunt our steps, so that we cannot go in our streets: Our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
|
|
4:19
|
追赶我们的比空中的鹰更快；他们在山上追逼我们，在旷野埋伏，等候我们。
|
|
|
Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens: They chased us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
|
|
4:20
|
耶和华的受膏者好比我们鼻中的气，在他们的坑中被捉住；我们曾论到他说：我们必在他荫下，在列国中存活。
|
|
|
The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Jehovah, was taken in their pits; Of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.
|
|
4:21

住乌斯地的以东民哪，只管欢喜快乐；苦杯也必传到你那里；你必喝醉，以致露体。

Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz: The cup shall pass through unto thee also; thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
|
|
4:22

锡安的民哪，你罪孽的刑罚受足了，耶和华必不使你再被掳去。以东的民哪，他必追讨你的罪孽，显露你的罪恶。
|
|
|
The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: He will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will uncover thy sins.
