彌迦書 2
1 禍哉，那些在床上籌劃不義，圖謀行惡的人! 因為你們手中有能力，一到天亮，就去實行。
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 他們想要田地，便去霸佔；朼想要房屋，便去奪取：以暴力對付業主和他的家族，物主和他的產業。
They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 為此上主這樣說：「看，我正在為這一家籌劃災禍，致令你們不能縮回你們的頭頸，也不能挺身前行，因為那是一個災禍的時刻。」
Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4 在那一日，人要作詩諷刺你們，唱這悲慘的哀哥說：「我們完全被搶掠了，我人民的基業已被人瓜分了，再無人歸還；我們的土地已分配給搶掠我們的人! 」
In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5 因此，你們在上主的集會中，再沒有拉繩測量和抽籤的人。
Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly.
6 你們講說：「你們不要說預言。」「人不該預言這樣的事，恥辱決不會來到我們身上!
“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
7 雅各伯的家豈是可詛咒的﹖上主的氣量豈能變為狹小﹖難道這是衪的作風﹖衪的話豈不是有益於以色列子民﹖」
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the LORD’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8 「但是你們正像敵人一樣，起來攻擊我的人民，因為你們向沒有短衣的人索取長袍，向平安走路的人索取戰利品。
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9 你們驅逐我人民的婦女離開她們的快樂家庭，從她們的嬰兒身上，永遠奪去我的光榮。
You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10 你們起來走吧! 因為這不是你們安息之所。為了不懂，這地必要遭受不可挽救的毀滅。」
Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11 假若有人隨從虛妄而撒謊說：「我要對你預言清酒和醇酒。」這人必可作這民族的先知。
If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
12 我必要聚集雅各伯全民眾，我必要集合以色列的遺民，使他們合併在一處，有如羊欄裏的綿羊，有如牧場上的羊群，不再怕任何人。
I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
13 開路者走在他們前面開道；他走在前面，眾人隨他穿門而過；他們的君王走在他們們前面，上主親作他們的響導。
He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with the LORD at their head.
