4:1
Hic liber mandatorum Dei, et lex quæ est in æternum : omnes qui tenent eam pervenient ad vitam : qui autem dereliquerunt eam, in mortem.
This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law that endures for ever: all those who hold it fast are appointed to life; but such as leave it shall die.
這就是天主誡命的書，是永遠長存的法律。凡持守她的，必得生命；凡離棄她的，必要死亡。
4:2
Convertere, Jacob, et apprehende eam : ambula per viam ad splendorem ejus contra lumen ejus.
Turn you, O Jacob, and take hold of it: walk towards her shining in the presence of the light thereof.
雅各伯啊，你要回轉，握住她，朝著她的光輝、迎著她的光明邁進。
4:3
Ne tradas alteri gloriam tuam, et dignitatem tuam genti alienæ.
Give not your glory to another, nor the things that are profitable to you to a strange nation.
不要把你的榮耀讓給別人，不要把對你有益的事讓給異邦。
4:4
Beati sumus, Israël, quia quæ Deo placent manifesta sunt nobis.
O Israel, happy are we: for the things that are pleasing to God are made known to us.
以色列啊，我們是有福的，因為凡天主所喜悅的事，都已為我們所知。

Animæquior esto, populus Dei, memorabilis Israël :
Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel.
我的百姓，以色列的記唸啊，你們要放心！
4:6
venundati estis gentibus non in perditionem : sed propter quod in ira ad iracundiam provocastis Deum, traditi estis adversariis.
You⌃ were sold to the nations, but not for destruction: because you⌃ moved God to wrath, you⌃ were delivered to your adversaries.
你們雖被賣與列邦，卻不是要滅亡；只因你們惹天主發怒，才被交在你們的仇敵手中。
4:7
Exacerbastis enim eum qui fecit vos, Deum æternum, immolantes dæmoniis, et non Deo.
For you⌃ provoked him that made you by sacrificing to demons, and not to God.
你們向邪魔獻祭，而不向天主獻祭，惹怒了那造你們的主。
4:8
Obliti enim estis Deum qui nutrivit vos, et contristastis nutricem vestram Jerusalem.
You⌃ forgat the everlasting God, that brought you up; you⌃ grieved also Jerusalem, that nursed you.
你們忘記了那養育你們的永生天主，也使那哺育你們的耶路撒冷憂傷。
4:9
Vidit enim iracundiam a Deo venientem vobis, et dixit : Audite, confines Sion : adduxit enim mihi Deus luctum magnum.
For she saw the wrath that is come upon you from God, and said, Hearken, you⌃ women that dwell about Sion: for God has brought upon me great mourning;
因為她看見了那從天主臨到你們的忿怒，便說：『熙雍鄰近的婦女啊，你們聽吧！天主使極大的悲哀臨到了我；
4:10
Vidi enim captivitatem populi mei, filiorum meorum et filiarum, quam superduxit illis Æternus.
for I have seen the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting has brought upon them.
因為我看見了我兒女被擄的事，就是那永生者使他們所遭受的。
4:11
Nutrivi enim illos cum jucunditate ; dimisi autem illos cum fletu et luctu.
For with joy did I nourish them; but sent them away with weeping and mourning.
我曾歡歡喜喜地養育他們，卻含淚帶悲地打發他們離去。
4:12
Nemo gaudeat super me viduam et desolatam : a multis derelicta sum propter peccata filiorum meorum, quia declinaverunt a lege Dei.
Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forsaken of many: for the sins of my children am I left desolate; because they turned away from the law of God,
我這寡婦被眾人遺棄，誰也不要因我而幸災樂禍。我因我兒女的罪而淪為荒涼，因為他們背離了天主的法律，
4:13
Justitias autem ipsius nescierunt, nec ambulaverunt per vias mandatorum Dei, neque per semitas veritatis ejus cum justitia ingressi sunt.
and had no regard to his statutes, neither walked they in the ways of God’s commandments, nor trod in the paths of discipline in his righteousness.
不認識祂的法度，不肯行走天主誡命的道路，也不踏上祂正義訓誨的途徑。
4:14
Veniant confines Sion, et memorentur captivitatem filiorum et filiarum mearum, quam superduxit illis Æternus.
Let those who dwell about Sion come, and remember you⌃ the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting has brought upon them.
熙雍鄰近的婦女啊，你們前來吧！你們要記念我兒女被擄的事，就是那永生者使他們所遭受的。
4:15
Adduxit enim super illos gentem de longinquo, gentem improbam, et alterius linguæ,
For he has brought a nation upon them from far, a shameless nation, and of a strange language, who neither reverenced old man, nor pitied child.
因為祂使一個遠方的民族來攻擊他們，那是一個無恥的民族，言語陌生；他們既不尊敬老人，也不憐恤孩童。
4:16
qui non sunt reveriti senem, neque puerorum miserti sunt, et abduxerunt dilectos viduæ, et a filiis unicam desolaverunt.
And they have carried away the dear beloved sons of the widow, and left her that was alone desolate of her daughters.
他們把寡婦所愛的兒子擄了去，使她孤孤單單，失去了女兒。
4:17
Ego autem, quid possum adjuvare vos ?
But I, what can I help you?
至於我，又能怎樣幫助你們呢？

qui enim adduxit super vos mala, ipse vos eripiet de manibus inimicorum vestrorum.
For he that brought these plagues upon you will deliver you from the hand of your enemies.

我的兒女啊，你們走你們的路吧！因為我已被撇下，孤獨荒涼。
4:20
Exui me stola pacis, indui autem me sacco obsecrationis, et clamabo ad Altissimum in diebus meis.
I have put off the garment of peace, and put upon me the sackcloth of my petition: I will cry to the Everlasting as long as I live.
我已脫去平安的衣裳，穿上了哀求的苦衣；我一生的日子都要向那永生者呼求。
4:21
Animæquiores estote, filii ; clamate ad Dominum, et eripiet vos de manu principum inimicorum.

我的兒女啊，你們要放心，向天主呼求吧！祂必從仇敵的權勢和手中拯救你們。

Ego enim speravi in æternum salutem vestram, et venit mihi gaudium a Sancto, super misericordia quæ veniet vobis ab æterno salutari nostro.
For I have trusted in the Everlasting, that he will save you; and joy is come to me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall soon come to you from the Everlasting your Saviour.
因為我已仰望那永生者，盼祂施行你們的救恩；那喜樂已從聖者臨到我，因祂的仁慈不久必從那永生者你們的救主臨到你們。

Sicut enim viderunt vicinæ Sion captivitatem vestram a Deo, sic videbunt et in celeritate salutem vestram a Deo, quæ superveniet vobis cum honore magno et splendore æterno.
For like as now those who dwell about Sion have seen your captivity: so shall they see shortly your salvation from our God, which shall come upon you with great glory, and brightness of the Everlasting.
因為正如熙雍鄰近的婦女如今看見你們被擄，照樣，她們不久也必看見那從你們天主而來的救恩臨到你們，帶著那永生者極大的榮耀和光輝。
4:25
Filii, patienter sustinete iram quæ supervenit vobis : persecutus est enim te inimicus tuus : sed cito videbis perditionem ipsius, et super cervices ipsius ascendes.
My children, suffer patiently the wrath that is come upon you from God: for your enemy has persecuted you; but shortly you shall see his destruction, and shall tread upon their necks.
我的兒女啊，你們要忍耐那從天主臨到你們的忿怒。你的仇敵雖逼迫了你，但你不久必看見他的滅亡，並要踏在他們的頸項上。
4:26
Delicati mei ambulaverunt vias asperas : ducti sunt enim ut grex direptus ab inimicis.
My delicate ones have gone rough ways; they were taken away as a flock carried off by the enemies.
我那嬌養的兒女走過了崎嶇的道路，他們如同被仇敵擄掠的羊羣一般被帶走了。

Be of good cheer, O my children, and cry to God: for you⌃ shall be remembered of him that has brought these things upon you.
我的兒女啊，你們要放心，向天主呼求吧！因為那使這些事臨到你們的，必要記念你們。
4:28
Sicut enim fuit sensus vester ut erraretis a Deo, decies tantum iterum convertentes requiretis eum :
For as it was your mind to go astray from God: so, return and seek him ten times more.
因為從前你們存心遠離了天主，如今你們要加十倍地回轉尋求祂。
4:29
qui enim induxit vobis mala, ipse rursum adducet vobis sempiternam jucunditatem cum salute vestra.
For he that brought these plagues upon you shall bring you everlasting joy again with your salvation.

Nocentes peribunt, qui te vexaverunt : et qui gratulati sunt in tua ruina, punientur.

Sicut enim gavisa est in tua ruina, et lætata est in casu tuo, sic contristabitur in sua desolatione,
For as she rejoiced at your fall, and was glad of your ruin: so shall she be grieved for her own desolation.
因為正如她曾因你的傾覆而歡喜、因你的敗亡而喜樂，照樣，她也必為自己的荒涼而憂傷。
