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 the Lord that came to Micheas the Morasthite, in the days of Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda: 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, all ye people: and let the earth give ear, and all that is therein: and let the Lord God be a witness to 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 the Lord will come forth out of his place: and he will come down, and will 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, and as waters that run 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 wickedness of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the wickedness of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Juda? are they 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。
And I will make Samaria as a heap of stones in the field when a vineyard is planted: and I will bring down the stones thereof into the valley, and will lay her foundations bare.
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 things shall be cut in pieces, and all her wages shall be burnt with fire, and I will bring to destruction all her idols: for they were gathered together of the hire of a harlot, and unto the hire of a harlot they shall 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。
Therefore will I lament and howl: I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and a 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。
Because her wound is desperate, because it is come even to Juda, it hath touched 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。
Declare ye it not in Geth, weep ye not with tears: in the house of Dust sprinkle yourselves with 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。
And pass away, O thou that dwellest in the Beautiful place, covered with thy shame: she went not forth that dwelleth in the confines: the House adjoining shall receive mourning from you, which stood by herself.
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 she is become weak unto good that dwelleth in bitterness: for evil is come down from the Lord into 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。
A tumult of chariots hath astonished the inhabitants of Lachis: it is the beginning of sin to the daughter of Sion, for in thee were found the crimes 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 she send messengers to the inheritance of Geth: the houses of lying to deceive 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。
Yet will I bring an heir to thee that dwellest in Maresa: even to Odollam shall the glory of Israel come.
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 be polled for thy delicate children: enlarge thy baldness as the eagle: for they are carried into captivity from thee.
