Hear the people of Jerusalem crying in despair,‘ We are ruined! We are completely humiliated! We must leave our land, because our homes have been torn down.’”

因为听见哀声出于锡安，说：‘我们怎样败落了！我们大大地惭愧！我们撇下地土；人也拆毁了我们的房屋。’

因为有哀声从锡安传来：‘我们竟然败落！我们何等惭愧！我们撇下土地，人拆毁了我们的房屋。’”

因为有哀声从锡安传来：‘我们竟然败落！我们何等惭愧！我们撇下土地，人拆毁了我们的房屋。’”

因为从锡安传出哀鸣，‘我们灭亡了！我们受了奇耻大辱！我们的家园被毁，我们只好背井离乡。’”

因为从锡安可以听到哀声，说：‘我们何等衰败！我们多么羞耻！因我们丢弃了这地，我们的家园被拆毁了。’”

因為聽見哀聲出於錫安，說：我們怎樣敗落了！我們大大地慚愧！我們撇下地土；人也拆毀了我們的房屋。

因為有哀聲從錫安傳來：『我們竟然敗落！我們何等慚愧！我們撇下土地，人拆毀了我們的房屋。』」

因為有哀聲從錫安傳來：『我們竟然敗落！我們何等慚愧！我們撇下土地，人拆毀了我們的房屋。』」

因為從錫安傳出哀鳴，『我們滅亡了！我們受了奇恥大辱！我們的家園被毀，我們只好背井離鄉。』」

因為從錫安可以聽到哀聲，說：‘我們何等衰敗！我們多麼羞恥！因我們丟棄了這地，我們的家園被拆毀了。’”

因為有哀聲從錫安聽到，說：「我們怎樣敗亡啊！我們慚愧極了！因為我們撇下了此地，因為人把我們的住處拋掉了。」』

自錫安聞有號咷之聲、曰、噫、我儕敗矣、慚愧特甚、因離故土、我之第宅為敵所毀、

在郇邑聞彼哀歌曰、我見虜、離故土、我室已毀、不能容膝、含羞蒙垢。

哀聲聞自郇曰、哀哉、我遭刼掠、蒙恥特甚、見擄離故土、敵毀我居、

The sound of wailing is heard from Zion:‘ How ruined we are! How great is our shame! We must leave our land because our houses are in ruins.’”

People are heard weeping in Zion. They are saying,“ We are destroyed! We are filled with shame! We must leave our land. Our houses have been torn down.”

For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion:‘ How we are ruined! We are utterly shamed, because we have left the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.’”

For a sound of lamentation is heard from Zion: How devastated we are. We are greatly ashamed, for we have abandoned the land; our dwellings have been torn down.

For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion:‘ How devastated we are! We are put to great shame, For we have abandoned the land Because they have torn down our homes.’ ”

For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion:‘ How we are plundered! We are greatly ashamed, Because we have forsaken the land, Because we have been cast out of our dwellings.’”

For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we ruined! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.

For a sound of lamentation is heard from Zion: How devastated we are. We are greatly ashamed, for we have abandoned the land; our dwellings have been torn down.

For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast[ us] out.

For the sound of wailing is soon to be heard in Zion. They will wail,‘ We are utterly ruined! We are completely disgraced! For our houses have been torn down and we must leave our land.’”

For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion,‘ How we are ruined! We are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.’”

Our enemy rushes down on us like storm clouds! His chariots are like whirlwinds. His horses are swifter than eagles. How terrible it will be, for we are doomed!

The survivors who escape to the mountains will moan like doves, weeping for their sins.Their hands will hang limp, their knees will be weak as water.They will dress themselves in burlap; horror and shame will cover them. They will shave their heads in sorrow and remorse.

You will grope around in broad daylight like a blind person groping in the darkness, but you will not find your way. You will be oppressed and robbed continually, and no one will come to save you.

“ Why has Israel become a slave? Why has he been carried away as plunder?

“ You must keep all my decrees and regulations by putting them into practice; otherwise the land to which I am bringing you as your new home will vomit you out.

Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our homes to foreigners.

Waves of destruction roll over the land, until it lies in complete desolation. Suddenly my tents are destroyed; in a moment my shelters are crushed.

Up! Begone! This is no longer your land and home, for you have filled it with sin and ruined it completely.

Therefore, I will mourn and lament. I will walk around barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl.For my people’s wound is too deep to heal. It has reached into Judah, even to the gates of Jerusalem.

In that day your enemies will make fun of you by singing this song of despair about you:“ We are finished, completely ruined! God has confiscated our land, taking it from us. He has given our fields to those who betrayed us.”

Because the entire land has become defiled, I am punishing the people who live there. I will cause the land to vomit them out.

What are you doing, you who have been plundered? Why do you dress up in beautiful clothing and put on gold jewelry? Why do you brighten your eyes with mascara? Your primping will do you no good! The allies who were your lovers despise you and seek to kill you.I hear a cry, like that of a woman in labor, the groans of a woman giving birth to her first child. It is beautiful Jerusalem gasping for breath and crying out,“ Help! I’m being murdered!”

“ Get away!” the people shouted at them.“ You’re defiled! Don’t touch us!” So they fled to distant lands and wandered among foreign nations, but none would let them stay.

So do not defile the land and give it a reason to vomit you out, as it will vomit out the people who live there now.
