彌迦書 1
1 猶大不約堂、阿哈次和希則克雅年間，上主的話傳給摩勒舍特人米該亞；以下如果他關於撒馬黎雅和耶路撒冷所見的聖視：
The word of Jehovah, which came to Micah, the Morasthite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah; which was revealed to him concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 眾民族，你們請聽! 大地和充乎其間的萬物，你們側耳傾聽! 吾主上主要作証反抗你們，吾主已離開了衪的聖殿。
Hear, all ye nations, Give ear, O earth, and all that is therein! The Lord, Jehovah, appeareth as a witness against you, The Lord from his holy palace.
3 看，上主已離開自己的居所下降，踏著大地高處前行。
Behold, Jehovah cometh forth from his dwelling-place; He cometh down, and advanceth upon the high places of the earth.
4 在衪腳下，諸山銷鎔，諸谷分裂，有如蠟在火前，有如冰瀉斜坡。
The mountains melt under him, And the valleys cleave asunder, Like wax before the fire, Like waters poured down a steep place.
5 這一切都是因為雅各伯的邪惡，猶大家的罪過。雅各伯的邪惡是什麼﹖不就是撒馬黎雅﹖猶大的罪過是什麼﹖不就是耶路撒冷﹖
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, And for the sin of the house of Israel. Where is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not at Samaria? And where are the high places of Judah? Are they not at Jerusalem?
6 我必要使撒馬黎雅變為田野中的廢墟，化為栽植葡萄的園地；我要把她的石頭投入山谷，暴露她的基礎。
Therefore will I make Samaria a heap of stones in the field, A place for the planting of a vineyard; I will pour down her stones into the valley, And lay bare her foundations.
7 她的一切雕像必被打碎；她的一切淫資必被火燒盡；她的一切偶像，我必使之變為廢物，因為偶像是聚合娼妓淫資做成的，將再轉為娼妓的淫資。
All her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, And all the hire of her harlotry shall be burned with fire, And all her idols will I destroy. For from the hire of a harlot did she gather her ornaments, And to the hire of a harlot shall they return.
8 為此，我要哀號悲鳴，我要赤足裸體而行；哀號若豺狼，悲鳴如駝鳥；
Therefore I will wail and howl; I will go stripped and naked; I will wail like the jackal, And mourn like the ostrich.
9 因為撒馬黎雅的創傷無法醫治，且已廷及猶大，逼近我的門口，直達耶路撒冷。
For her wound is mortal; It extendeth to Judah; It reacheth to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 你們在加達不要歡樂，在隨苛要慟哭，在貝特敖斐勒，要輾轉於灰塵之中。
Tell it not in Gath! weep not in Acco! In Beth-Aprah roll yourselves in the dust!
11 沙非爾的居民! 人已向你吹起了號角；匝南的居民，不要走出自己的城! 在貝特厄責耳有了哭訴，因為人從你們手中奪去了立足之地。
Pass on, thou inhabitant of Saphir, naked and in shame! The inhabitant of Zaanan no more goeth out; The grief of Beth-Azel denieth you an abode.
12 災禍已由上主降於耶路撒冷門前，瑪洛特的居民還怎能希望幸福﹖
The inhabitant of Maroth mourneth for his goods, For evil came down from Jehovah to the gates of Jerusalem.
13 拉基士的居民，你們要以快馬駕車! 你們是熙雍子女犯罪的開端，因為在你們中間找出以色列罪惡的根源。
Bind the chariot to the courser, O inhabitant of Lachish! Thou wast the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; In thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
14 摩勒舍特加特! 人要給你送來臨別的贈品；阿革齊布家為以色列君王，是一條變幻無常的溪流。
Therefore shalt thou resign the possession of Moresheth of Gath; The houses of Achzib shall disappoint the kings of Israel.
15 瑪勒沙的居民，征服者還要來你們這裏；的確，以色列的光榮阿杜蘭將要消逝!
A possessor will I bring to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah; The glory of Israel shall flee to Adullam.
16 熙雍女子! 妳應為了妳所愛的子女剃頭削髮，並要徹底使妳的頭光禿，有如一隻兀鷹，因為你們已由妳面前被擄去充軍。
Make thyself bald, cut off thy locks, for the children of thy love; Enlarge thy baldness like the eagle; For they have gone from thee into captivity.
