1:1 [hgb]  先 前 满 有 人 民 的 城 ， 现 在 何 竟 独 坐 。 先 前 在 列 国 中 为 大 的 ， 现 在 竟 如 寡 妇 。 先 前 在 诸 省 中 为 王 后 的 ， 现 在 成 为 进 贡 的 。 
    [kjv]  How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!
    [bbe]  See her seated by herself, the town which was full of people! She who was great among the nations has become like a widow! She who was a princess among the countries has come under the yoke of forced work!
1:2 [hgb]  她 夜 间 痛 哭 ， 泪 流 满 腮 。 在 一 切 所 亲 爱 的 中 间 没 有 一 个 安 慰 她 的 。 她 的 朋 友 都 以 诡 诈 待 她 ， 成 为 她 的 仇 敌 。 
    [kjv]  She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
    [bbe]  She is sorrowing bitterly in the night, and her face is wet with weeping; among all her lovers she has no comforter: all her friends have been false to her, they have become her haters.
1:3 [hgb]  犹 大 因 遭 遇 苦 难 ， 又 因 多 服 劳 苦 就 迁 到 外 邦 。 她 住 在 列 国 中 ， 寻 不 着 安 息 。 追 逼 她 的 都 在 狭 窄 之 地 将 她 追 上 。 
    [kjv]  Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
    [bbe]  Judah has been taken away as a prisoner because of trouble and hard work; her living-place is among the nations, there is no rest for her: all her attackers have overtaken her in a narrow place.
1:4 [hgb]  锡 安 的 路 径 因 无 人 来 守 圣 节 就 悲 伤 。 她 的 城 门 凄 凉 。 她 的 祭 司 叹 息 。 她 的 处 女 受 艰 难 ， 自 己 也 愁 苦 。 
    [kjv]  The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
    [bbe]  The ways of Zion are sad, because no one comes to the holy meeting; all her doorways are made waste, her priests are breathing out sorrow: her virgins are troubled, and it is bitter for her.
1:5 [hgb]  她 的 敌 人 为 首 。 她 的 仇 敌 亨 通 。 因 耶 和 华 为 她 许 多 的 罪 过 使 她 受 苦 。 她 的 孩 童 被 敌 人 掳 去 。 
    [kjv]  Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
    [bbe]  Those who are against her have become the head, everything goes well for her haters; for the Lord has sent sorrow on her because of the great number of her sins: her young children have gone away as prisoners before the attacker.
1:6 [hgb]  锡 安 城 的 威 荣 （ 城 原 文 作 女 子 下 同 ） 全 都 失 去 。 她 的 首 领 像 找 不 着 草 场 的 鹿 。 在 追 赶 的 人 前 无 力 行 走 。 
    [kjv]  And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
    [bbe]  And all her glory has gone from the daughter of Zion: her rulers have become like harts with no place for food, and they have gone in flight without strength before the attacker.
1:7 [hgb]  耶 路 撒 冷 在 困 苦 窘 迫 之 时 ， 就 追 想 古 时 一 切 的 乐 境 。 她 百 姓 落 在 敌 人 手 中 ， 无 人 救 济 。 敌 人 看 见 ， 就 因 她 的 荒 凉 嗤 笑 。 
    [kjv]  Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.
    [bbe]  Jerusalem keeps in mind, in the days of her sorrow and of her wanderings, all the desired things which were hers in days gone by; when her people came into the power of her hater and she had no helper, her attackers saw their desire effected on her and made sport of her destruction.
1:8 [hgb]  耶 路 撒 冷 大 大 犯 罪 ， 所 以 成 为 不 洁 之 物 。 素 来 尊 敬 她 的 ， 见 她 赤 露 就 都 藐 视 她 。 她 自 己 也 叹 息 退 后 。 
    [kjv]  Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
    [bbe]  Great is the sin of Jerusalem; for this cause she has become an unclean thing: all those who gave her honour are looking down on her, because they have seen her shame: now truly, breathing out grief, she is turned back.
1:9 [hgb]  她 的 污 秽 是 在 衣 襟 上 。 她 不 思 想 自 己 的 结 局 ， 所 以 非 常 地 败 落 ， 无 人 安 慰 她 。 她 说 ， 耶 和 华 阿 ， 求 你 看 我 的 苦 难 ， 因 为 仇 敌 夸 大 。 
    [kjv]  Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself.
    [bbe]  In her skirts were her unclean ways; she gave no thought to her end; and her fall has been a wonder; she has no comforter: see her sorrow, O Lord; for the attacker is lifted up.
1:10 [hgb]  敌 人 伸 手 ， 夺 取 她 的 美 物 。 她 眼 见 外 邦 人 进 入 她 的 圣 所 论 这 外 邦 人 ， 你 曾 吩 咐 不 可 入 你 的 会 中 。 
    [kjv]  The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
    [bbe]  The hand of her hater is stretched out over all her desired things; for she has seen that the nations have come into her holy place, about whom you gave orders that they were not to come into the meeting of your people.
1:11 [hgb]  她 的 民 都 叹 息 ， 寻 求 食 物 。 他 们 用 美 物 换 粮 食 ， 要 救 性 命 。 他 们 说 ， 耶 和 华 阿 ， 求 你 观 看 ， 因 为 我 甚 是 卑 贱 。 
    [kjv]  All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile.
    [bbe]  Breathing out grief all her people are looking for bread; they have given their desired things for food to give them life: see, O Lord, and take note; for she has beco............
