< 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 those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds. When the morning is light, they practice 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。
They covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and 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 says YHWH: "Look, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
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 they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, 'We are utterly ruined. My people's possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors.'"
5 所以在耶和华的会中, 你必没有人拈阄拉准绳。
Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the assembly of YHWH.
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。
"Do not prophesy." They prophesy. "Do not prophesy about these things. Disgrace won't overtake 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?
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of YHWH angry? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?"
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。
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
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 out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing 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。
Arise, and depart. For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous 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 a spirit of falsehood lies: "I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;" he would 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, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they will swarm with people.
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 goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, with YHWH at their head.
