< 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。
Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
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。
And they covet fields, and take [them] by violence; and houses, and take [them] away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
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。
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time [is] evil.
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。
In that day shall [one] take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed [it] from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
5 所以在耶和华的会中, 你必没有人拈阄拉准绳。
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
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。
Prophesy ye not, [say they to them that] prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, [that] they shall not take shame.
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?
O [thou that art] named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? [are] these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
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。
Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
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。
The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
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。
Arise ye, and depart; for this [is] not [your] rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy [you], even with a sore destruction.
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 man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, [saying], I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this 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 surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
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 breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
