< 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。
The word of Jehovah 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 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, ye peoples, all of you; hearken, O earth, and all that is therein: and let the Lord Jehovah be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple!
3 看哪,耶和华出了他的居所, 降临步行地的高处。
For behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread 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 melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters poured down a steep place.
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?
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. Whence is the transgression of Jacob? is it not [from] Samaria? And whence are the high places of Judah? are they not [from] 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 will I make Samaria as a heap of the field, as plantings of a vineyard; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will lay bare the foundations thereof.
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 all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her harlot-gifts shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I make a desolation; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered [them], and to a harlot's hire shall they return.
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。
For this will I lament, and I will howl; I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the jackals, and mourning like the ostriches.
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 wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah, it reacheth unto 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。
Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
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。
Pass away, inhabitress of Shaphir, in nakedness [and] shame. The inhabitress of Zaanan is not come forth for the lamentation of Beth-ezel: he will take from you its shelter.
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。
For the inhabitress of Maroth waited anxiously for good; but evil hath come down from Jehovah unto the gate 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。
Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitress of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; 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 shalt thou give parting-gifts to Moresheth-Gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie 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。
I will yet bring unto thee an heir, O inhabitress of Mareshah; the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam.
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。
Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delights; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle, for they are gone into captivity from thee.
