弥迦书 2
1 祸哉，那些在床上图谋罪孽、造作奸恶的！ 天一发亮，因手有能力就行出来了。
How disastrous it will be for those who devise evil plans as they lie awake at night. They get up in the morning to carry them out, because they have the power to do just that.
2 他们贪图田地就占据， 贪图房屋便夺取； 他们欺压人，霸占房屋和产业。
They seize any fields they want. They take any houses they want. They cheat people of their houses, and steal their inheritance.
3 所以耶和华如此说： 我筹划灾祸降与这族； 这祸在你们的颈项上不能解脱； 你们也不能昂首而行， 因为这时势是恶的。
So this is what the Lord says. Watch out! I am planning to bring disaster on such families. They won't be able to escape. You will no longer walk around arrogantly, for this will be a time of disaster.
4 到那日，必有人向你们提起悲惨的哀歌， 讥刺说：我们全然败落了！ 耶和华将我们的分转归别人， 何竟使这分离开我们？ 他将我们的田地分给悖逆的人。
On that day they will make up a saying to taunt you. With a mocking lament they will say, “We are totally ruined! Our possessions are being sold off. They've taken everything away, and given our fields to your conquerors.”
5 所以在耶和华的会中， 你必没有人拈阄拉准绳。
Consequently at that time there will be none of you in the assembly of the Lord responsible for the division of the land.
6 他们说：你们不可说预言； 不可向这些人说预言， 不住地羞辱我们。
But you preach at me, saying, “Don't preach such things. Don't prophesy like this. Such a humiliation won't happen to us!”
7 雅各家啊，岂可说耶和华的心不忍耐吗？ 这些事是他所行的吗？ 我—耶和华的言语岂不是与行动正直的人有益吗？
Should you talk like that, descendants of Jacob? You ask, “Can the Lord run out of patience? Is this what he does?” Are not my words good to those who do what is right? asks the Lord.
8 然而，近来我的民兴起如仇敌， 从那些安然经过不愿打仗之人身上剥去外衣。
Lately my people have risen up against me like an enemy. You steal the coats off the backs of those passing by, men returning from war who expect to be safe in their homeland.
9 你们将我民中的妇人从安乐家中赶出， 又将我的荣耀从她们的小孩子尽行夺去。
You drive the women of my people from their comfortable homes; you have robbed their children of my blessings forever.
10 你们起来去吧！ 这不是你们安息之所； 因为污秽使人毁灭， 而且大大毁灭。
Get up! Leave! For this is not a place for you to stay. It is defiled and totally ruined.
11 若有人心存虚假，用谎言说： 我要向你们预言得清酒和浓酒。 那人就必作这民的先知。
If a false prophet should come to you and lie, saying, “I'll preach to you about the virtues of wine and alcohol,” he would be the perfect prophet for your kind of people.
12 雅各家啊，我必要聚集你们， 必要招聚以色列剩下的人， 安置在一处，如波斯拉的羊， 又如草场上的羊群； 因为人数众多就必大大喧哗。
I will certainly gather all of you, descendants of Jacob, I will certainly bring back together those who are left, Israel. I will place them like sheep in the fold, like a flock in its pasture. The land will be filled with people celebrating.
13 开路的在他们前面上去； 他们直闯过城门，从城门出去。 他们的王在前面行； 耶和华引导他们。
The One who opens the way for them will lead them, breaking through the gate and going out. Their King will lead them; the Lord himself will be at their head.
