弥迦书 5
1 成群的民哪，现在你要聚集成队； 因为仇敌围攻我们， 要用杖击打以色列审判者的脸。
Now shall the daughter [of Sion] be completely hedged in: he has laid siege against us: they shall strike the tribes of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
2 伯利恒的以法他啊， 你在犹大诸城中为小， 将来必有一位从你那里出来， 在以色列中为我作掌权的； 他的根源从亘古，从太初就有。
And you, Bethleem, house of Ephratha, are few in number to be [reckoned] amongst the thousands of Juda; [yet] out of you shall one come forth to me, to be a ruler of Israel; and his goings forth were from the beginning, [even] from eternity.
3 耶和华必将以色列人交付敌人， 直等那生产的妇人生下子来。 那时掌权者其余的弟兄 必归到以色列人那里。
Therefore shall he appoint them [to wait] till the time of her that travails: she shall bring forth, and [then] the remnant of their brethren shall return to the children of Israel.
4 他必起来，倚靠耶和华的大能， 并耶和华—他 神之名的威严， 牧养他的羊群。 他们要安然居住； 因为他必日见尊大，直到地极。
And the Lord shall stand, and see, and feed his flock with power, and they shall dwell in the glory of the name of the Lord their God: for now shall they be magnified to the ends of the earth.
5 这位必作我们的平安。 当亚述人进入我们的地境， 践踏宫殿的时候， 我们就立起七个牧者， 八个首领攻击他。
And she shall have peace when Assur shall come into your land, and when he shall come up upon your country; and there shall be raised up against him seven shepherds, and eight attacks of men.
6 他们必用刀剑毁坏亚述地 和宁录地的关口。 亚述人进入我们的地境践踏的时候， 他必拯救我们。
And they shall tend the Assyrian with a sword, and the land of Nebrod with her trench: and he shall deliver [you] from the Assyrian, when he shall come upon your land, and when he shall invade your coasts.
7 雅各余剩的人必在多国的民中， 如从耶和华那里降下的露水， 又如甘霖降在草上； 不仗赖人力，也不等候世人之功。
And the remnant of Jacob shall be amongst the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples, as dew falling from the Lord, and as lambs on the grass; that none may assemble nor resist amongst the sons of men.
8 雅各余剩的人必在多国多民中， 如林间百兽中的狮子， 又如少壮狮子在羊群中。 他若经过就必践踏撕裂， 无人搭救。
And the remnant of Jacob shall be amongst the Gentiles in the midst of many nations, as a lion in the forest amongst cattle, and as a [lion's] whelp amongst the flocks of sheep, even as when he goes through, and selects, and carries off [his prey], and there is none to deliver.
9 愿你的手举起，高过敌人！ 愿你的仇敌都被剪除！
Your hand shall be lifted up against them that afflict you, and all your enemies shall be utterly destroyed.
10 耶和华说：到那日， 我必从你中间剪除马匹， 毁坏车辆，
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] I will utterly destroy the horses out of the midst of you, and destroy your chariots;
11 也必从你国中除灭城邑， 拆毁一切的保障，
and I will utterly destroy the cities of your land, and demolish all your strongholds:
12 又必除掉你手中的邪术； 你那里也不再有占卜的。
and I will utterly destroy your sorceries out of your hands; and there shall be no soothsayers in you.
13 我必从你中间除灭雕刻的偶像和柱像， 你就不再跪拜自己手所造的。
And I will utterly destroy your graven images, and your statues out of the midst of you; and you shall never any more worship the works of your hands.
14 我必从你中间拔出木偶， 又毁灭你的城邑。
And I will cut off the groves out of the midst of you, and I will abolish your cities.
15 我也必在怒气和忿怒中向那不听从的列国施报。
and I will execute vengeance on the heathen in anger and wrath, because they listened not.
