And what art thou doing this cold winter day?

这样寒冷的冬天你怎么度过？

I stood speechless with shame when my name thou didst ask.

当你问到我的名字的时候，我羞得悄立无言。

Aye, and thou goest before; and this, this then is the hearse that thou didst promise.

唉，你先走了；而这个，这个就是你曾经指望过的灵车。

Thus I waited for the morning, when thou didst depart, to find a few fragments on the bed.

这样我等到早上，想在你离开的时候，从你床上找到些碎片。

Canst thou do nothing for me?

你不能为我做什么吗？

But when thou didst return from war, how peaceful was thy brow.

但当你从战场归来时， 你的心情是多么平静。

Breathe not to any human soul that thou didst ever call me husband!

不要对任何人的灵魂说你曾称我为丈夫！

In this thou didst aid her to overcome her husband, to whom, though his superior, she yielded obedience.

在这一点上， 你确实帮助她战胜了她的丈夫，虽然他的地位比她高， 但她还是服从了。

Such was my heart, O God, such was my heart--which thou didst pity even in that bottomless pit.

这就是我的心， 上帝啊，这就是我的心——即使在那个无底坑里， 你也怜悯我。

And thou didst fix all this in my memory so that afterward I might search it out for myself.

你把这一切都记在我的记忆里， 以便以后我可以自己去寻找。

To thee I now confess it, for thou didst have mercy on me when I had not yet confessed it.

我现在向你承认这一点， 因为当我还没有承认这一点时， 你就怜悯了我。

Shall I lie down again on these withered leaves, where I cast myself when thou didst tell me what he was?

我要不要再躺在这些枯叶上，当你告诉我他是什么人时我就躺在那里？

What was it that thou didst do at that time, O my God; how unsearchable are the depths of thy judgments!

我的上帝啊， 你当时做了什么？你的判断何其深奥！

By thy first step awry, thou didst plant the germ of evil; but, since that moment, it has all been a dark necessity.

第一步走错， 就种下了罪恶的种子；但是，从那一刻起， 这一切都是一种黑暗的必然。

Look upon her with thy face of love and sorrow that thou didst turn on him who denied thee, and melt her hard heart.

用你对那个拒绝你的人的爱和悲伤的脸看着她，融化她刚硬的心。

Thus by the instrumentality of those who did not do well, thou didst well for me; and by my own sin thou didst justly punish me.

因此，通过那些做得不好的人的帮助， 你为我做得很好；你因我自己的罪孽而公正地惩罚了我。

For when I was learning vain things, thou didst impose thy discipline upon me: and thou hast forgiven me my sin of delighting in those vanities.

因为当我学习虚无的事物时，你就把你的管教加在我身上；你也宽恕了我喜欢那些虚荣的罪。

'For thou didst it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun; THE CHILD THAT IS BORN UNTO THEE SHALL SURELY DIE.

‘因为你是在暗中做的，我却要在以色列众人面前，在太阳面前做这事；你所生的孩子必死无疑。

Thou didst still hold thy peace, and I wandered still farther from thee into more and yet more barren fields of sorrow, in proud dejection and restless lassitude.

你仍然保持着你的平安， 而我却在骄傲的沮丧和不安的倦怠中， 离你越来越远，进入越来越贫瘠的悲伤田野。

I was tossed to and fro, and wasted, and poured out, and I boiled over in my fornications--and yet thou didst hold thy peace, O my tardy Joy!

我被折腾来回，浪费，倾倒，我在淫乱中沸腾了--然而你却保持了你的平安，我迟到的喜乐啊！
