弥迦书 1
1 当犹大王约坦、亚哈斯、希西家在位的时候，摩利沙人弥迦得耶和华的默示，论撒马利亚和耶路撒冷。
And the word of the Lord came to Michaeas the son of Morasthi, in the days of Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, concerning what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 万民哪，你们都要听！ 地和其上所有的，也都要侧耳而听！ 主耶和华从他的圣殿 要见证你们的不是。
Hear [these] words, ye people; and let the earth give heed, and all that are in it: and the Lord God shall be among you for a testimony, the Lord out of his holy habitation.
3 看哪，耶和华出了他的居所， 降临步行地的高处。
For, behold, the Lord comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and will go upon the high places of the earth.
4 众山在他以下必消化， 诸谷必崩裂， 如蜡化在火中， 如水冲下山坡。
And the mountains shall be shaken under him, and the valleys shall melt like wax before the fire, and as water rushing down a declivity.
5 这都因雅各的罪过， 以色列家的罪恶。 雅各的罪过在哪里呢？ 岂不是在撒马利亚吗？ 犹大的邱坛在哪里呢？ 岂不是在耶路撒冷吗？
All these [calamities are] for the transgression of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what is the sin of the house of Juda? [is it] not Jerusalem?
6 所以我必使撒马利亚变为田野的乱堆， 又作为种葡萄之处； 也必将她的石头倒在谷中， 露出根基来。
Therefore I will make Samaria [as] a store-house of the fruits of the field, and [as] a planting of a vineyard: and I will utterly demolish her stones, and I will expose her foundations.
7 她一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎； 她所得的财物必被火烧； 所有的偶像我必毁灭； 因为是从妓女雇价所聚来的， 后必归为妓女的雇价。
And they shall cut in pieces all the graven images, and all that she has hired they shall burn with fire, and I will utterly destroy all her idols: because she has gathered of the hires of fornication, and of the hires of fornication has she amassed [wealth].
8 先知说：因此我必大声哀号， 赤脚露体而行； 又要呼号如野狗， 哀鸣如鸵鸟。
Therefore shall she lament and wail, she shall go barefooted, and [being] naked she shall make lamentation as [that] of serpents, and mourning as of the daughters of sirens.
9 因为撒马利亚的伤痕无法医治， 延及犹大和耶路撒冷我民的城门。
For her plague has become grievous; for it has come even to Juda; and has reached to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 不要在迦特报告这事， 总不要哭泣； 我在伯·亚弗拉滚于灰尘之中。
Ye that are in Geth, exalt not yourselves, and ye Enakim, do not rebuild from [the ruins of] the house in derision: sprinkle dust [in the place of] your laughter.
11 沙斐的居民哪，你们要赤身蒙羞过去。 撒南的居民不敢出来。 伯·以薛人的哀哭使你们无处可站。
The inhabitant of Sennaar, fairly inhabiting her cities, came not forth to mourn for the house next to her: she shall receive of you the stroke of grief.
12 玛律的居民心甚忧急，切望得好处， 因为灾祸从耶和华那里临到耶路撒冷的城门。
Who has begun [to act] for good to her that dwells in sorrow? for calamities have come down from the Lord upon the gates of Jerusalem,
13 拉吉的居民哪，要用快马套车； 锡安民的罪由你而起； 以色列人的罪过在你那里显出。
[even] a sound of chariots and horsemen: the inhabitants of Lachis, she is the leader of sin to the daughter of Sion: for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
14 犹大啊，你要将礼物送给摩利设·迦特。 亚革悉的众族必用诡诈待以色列诸王。
Therefore shall he cause men to be sent forth as far as the inheritance of Geth, [even] vain houses; they are become vanity to the kings of Israel;
15 玛利沙的居民哪， 我必使那夺取你的来到你这里； 以色列的尊贵人必到亚杜兰。
until they bring the heirs, O inhabitant of Lachis: the inheritance shall reach to Odollam, [even] the glory of the daughter of Israel.
16 犹大啊，要为你所喜爱的儿女剪除你的头发， 使头光秃，要大大地光秃，如同秃鹰， 因为他们都被掳去离开你。
Shave thine hair, and make thyself bald for thy delicate children; increase thy widowhood as an eagle; for [thy people] are gone into captivity from thee.
