彌迦書 5
1 被圍困的女子，現在妳要抓傷身，他們己圍困住我們，用棍杖搫打以色列民長的面頰。
Nowe assemble thy garisons, O daughter of garisons: he hath layed siege against vs: they shall smite the iudge of Israel with a rod vpon the cheeke.
2 厄弗辣大白冷! 你在猶大群邑中雖是最小的，但是將由你從我生出一位統治以色列的人，他的來歷源自亙古，遠自永遠的時代。
And thou Beth-leem Ephrathah art litle to bee among the thousandes of Iudah, yet out of thee shall he come forth vnto me, that shalbe the ruler in Israel: whose goings forth haue bene from the beginning and from euerlasting.
3 因此，上主必將遺棄他們，直到孕婦生產之時，那時他 弟兄中的遺民必將歸來，與以色列子民團聚。
Therefore will he giue them vp, vntill the time that shee which shall beare, shall trauaile: then the remnant of their brethren shall returne vnto the children of Israel.
4 他必卓然屹立，以上主的能力及上主他們的天主之名的權威，牧放自己的羊群。他們將獲得安居，因為他必大有權勢，直達地極。
And he shall stand, and feed in the strength of the Lord, and in the maiestie of the Name of the Lord his God, and they shall dwel still: for now shall he be magnified vnto the ends of the world.
5 他本人將是和平! 當亞述人侵入我們地域，蹂躪我們領土時，必有七個牧者，八個人民首領奮起對抗。
And hee shall be our peace when Asshur shall come into our lande: when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seuen shepheardes, and eight principall men.
6 他們必用刀統治亞述，用劍管轄默洛得地。當亞述侵入我們地域，蹂躪我們的境域時，他必救援我們。
And they shall destroy Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with their swordes: thus shall he deliuer vs from Asshur, when hee commeth into our lande, and when he shall tread within our borders.
7 那時，雅各伯的遺民，在許多民族中，必如由上主而來的朝露，必如落在青草上的甘霖，不再期待於人，也不寄望於人子。
And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among many people, as a dewe from the Lord, and as the showres vpon the grasse, that waiteth not for man, nor hopeth in the sonnes of Adam.
8 那時，雅各伯的遺民，在異民中，在許多民族中，必如獅子在森林百獸中，必如幼童在羊群中，所經之處，必加以蹂躪摧殘，無人能夠搶救。
And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among the Gentiles in the middes of many people, as the lyon among the beastes of the forest, and as the lyons whelpe among the flockes of sheepe, who when he goeth thorow, treadeth downe and teareth in pieces, and none can deliuer.
9 你的手臂將高舉在你敵人之上，你的一切仇敵必要滅絕。
Thine hand shall bee lift vp vpon thine aduersaries, and all thine enemies shalbe cut off.
10 到那一日──上主的斷語──我必由你中間毀滅你的戰馬，破壞你的車輛，
And it shall come to passe in that day, sayth the Lord, that I will cut off thine horses out of the middes of thee, and I will destroy thy charets.
11 毀壞你境內的城市，傾覆你的一切堡壘，
And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and ouerthrowe all thy strong holdes.
12 滅絕你手中的巫術，使你不再有人占卜；
And I will cut off thine enchanters out of thine hande: and thou shalt haue no more southsayers.
13 我必由你們中間消滅你的彫像和石柱，使你不再膜拜你手製的作品；
Thine idoles also will I cut off, and thine images out of the middes of thee: and thou shalt no more worship the woorke of thine hands.
14 我必由你們中間根除你的神柱，毀壞你的神像；
And I wil plucke vp thy groues out of the middes of thee: so will I destroy thine enemies.
15 對那不順服的異民，我必在憤怒激憤之下施以報復。
And I will execute a vegeance in my wrath and indignation vpon the heathen, which they haue not heard.
