Like our ancestors, we have sinned. We have done wrong! We have acted wickedly!

我们与我们的祖宗一同犯罪；我们作了孽，行了恶。

我们与我们的祖宗一同犯罪，偏邪行恶。

我與列祖同干罪戾、行邪作惡兮、

列祖犯罪、我儕濟其惡、愆尤叢集、

我儕與列祖、俱是犯罪行邪作惡、

吾與列祖。一丘之貉。心跡未清。懷邪作惡。

We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

We have sinned, just as our people of long ago did. We too have done what is evil and wrong.

Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.

Both we and our ancestors have sinned; we have done wrong and have acted wickedly.

We have sinned like our fathers, We have gone astray, we have behaved wickedly.

We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, We have done wickedly.

We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have done wrong and have acted wickedly.

We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong, we have done evil.

We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.

But in that land of exile, they might turn to you in repentance and pray,‘ We have sinned, done evil, and acted wickedly.’

I prayed,“ O my God, I am utterly ashamed; I blush to lift up my face to you. For our sins are piled higher than our heads, and our guilt has reached to the heavens.From the days of our ancestors until now, we have been steeped in sin. That is why we and our kings and our priests have been at the mercy of the pagan kings of the land. We have been killed, captured, robbed, and disgraced, just as we are today.

“ But at last my people will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors for betraying me and being hostile toward me.

“ But our ancestors were proud and stubborn, and they paid no attention to your commands.

Then they will not be like their ancestors— stubborn, rebellious, and unfaithful, refusing to give their hearts to God.

But we have sinned and done wrong. We have rebelled against you and scorned your commands and regulations.We have refused to listen to your servants the prophets, who spoke on your authority to our kings and princes and ancestors and to all the people of the land.“ Lord, you are in the right; but as you see, our faces are covered with shame. This is true of all of us, including the people of Judah and Jerusalem and all Israel, scattered near and far, wherever you have driven us because of our disloyalty to you.O Lord, we and our kings, princes, and ancestors are covered with shame because we have sinned against you.

We have sinned terribly by not obeying the commands, decrees, and regulations that you gave us through your servant Moses.

Let us now lie down in shame and cover ourselves with dishonor, for we and our ancestors have sinned against the Lord our God. From our childhood to this day we have never obeyed him.”

But here you are, a brood of sinners, doing exactly the same thing! You are making the Lord even angrier with Israel.

“ And now, our God, the great and mighty and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of unfailing love, do not let all the hardships we have suffered seem insignificant to you. Great trouble has come upon us and upon our kings and leaders and priests and prophets and ancestors— all of your people— from the days when the kings of Assyria first triumphed over us until now.Every time you punished us you were being just. We have sinned greatly, and you gave us only what we deserved.Our kings, leaders, priests, and ancestors did not obey your Law or listen to the warnings in your commands and laws.

Go ahead and finish what your ancestors started.

“ You stubborn people! You are heathen at heart and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That’s what your ancestors did, and so do you!Name one prophet your ancestors didn’t persecute! They even killed the ones who predicted the coming of the Righteous One— the Messiah whom you betrayed and murdered.
