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 that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria 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 you people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.
3 看，上主已離開自己的居所下降，踏著大地高處前行。
For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread 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。
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are 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 sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they 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。
Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
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 all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
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 wail, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
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 incurable; for it has come unto Judah; he has come unto 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。
Declare all of you it not at Gath, weep all of you not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll yourself 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 all of you away, you inhabitant of Saphir, having your shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
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 the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate 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。
O you inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
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 shall you give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to 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!
Yet will I bring an heir unto you, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
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 you bald, and poll you for your delicate children; enlarge your baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from you.
