< 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 the Lord, which was maad to `Mychee of Morasti, in the daies of Joathan, Achas, Ezechie, kyngis of Juda; which word he sai on Samarie, 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。
Here ye, alle puplis, and the erthe perseyue, and plentee therof, and be the Lord God to you in to a witnesse, the Lord fro his hooli temple.
3 看,上主已離開自己的居所下降,踏著大地高處前行。
For lo! the Lord schal go out of his place, and schal come doun, and schal trede on hiy thingis of erthe.
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。
And mounteyns schulen be waastid vndur hym, and valeis schulen be kit, as wex fro the face of fier, as watirs that rennen in to a pit.
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﹖
In the grete trespas of Jacob is al this thing, and in the synnes of the hous of Israel. Which is the greet trespas of Jacob? whether not Samarie? and whiche ben the hiy thingis of Juda? whether not 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。
And Y schal put Samarie as an heep of stoonys in the feeld, whanne a vynyerd is plauntid; and Y schal drawe awei the stoonys therof in to a valei, and Y schal schewe the foundementis therof.
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。
And alle `grauun ymagis therof schulen be betun togidere, and alle hiris therof schulen be brent in fier; and Y schal putte alle idols therof in to perdicioun; for of hiris of an hoore tho ben gaderid, and `til to hire of an hoore tho schulen turne ayen.
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;
On this thing Y schal weile and yelle, Y schal go spuylid and nakid; Y schal make weilyng of dragouns, and mournyng as of ostrigis.
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 wounde therof is dispeirid; for it cam til to Juda, it touchide the yate of my puple, til 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。
In Geth nyle ye telle, bi teeris wepe ye not; in the hous of dust with dust togidere sprynge you.
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。
And ye a fair dwellyng passe, which is confoundid with yuel fame; it is not goon out, which dwellith in the goyng out; a niy hous schal take of you weilyng, which stood to it silf.
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﹖
For it is maad sijk to good, which dwellith in bitternessis. For yuel cam doun fro the Lord in to the yate of Jerusalem, noise of foure horsid cart,
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。
of drede to the puple dwellynge at Lachis. It is the bigynnyng of synne of the douyter of Sion, for the grete trespassis of Israel ben foundun in thee.
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。
Therfor he schal yyue werriours on the eritage of Geth, on housis of leesyng in to deseit to kyngis 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!
Yit Y schal brynge an eir to thee, that dwellist in Maresa; the glorie of Israel schal come til to Odolla.
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。
Be thou maad ballid, and be thou clippid on the sones of thi delices; alarge thi ballidnesse as an egle, for thei ben lad caitif fro thee.
