弥迦书 6
1 以色列人哪，当听耶和华的话！ 要起来向山岭争辩， 使冈陵听你的话。
Hearken ye nowe what the Lord sayth, Arise thou, and contende before the mountaines, and let the hilles heare thy voyce.
2 山岭和地永久的根基啊， 要听耶和华争辩的话！ 因为耶和华要与他的百姓争辩， 与以色列争论。
Heare ye, O mountaynes, the Lordes quarel, and ye mightie foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a quarell against his people, and he will pleade with Israel.
3 我的百姓啊，我向你做了什么呢？ 我在什么事上使你厌烦？ 你可以对我证明。
O my people, what haue I done vnto thee? or wherin haue I grieued thee? testifie against me.
4 我曾将你从埃及地领出来， 从作奴仆之家救赎你； 我也差遣摩西、亚伦，和米利暗在你前面行。
Surely I brought thee vp out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of seruants, and I haue sent before thee, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 我的百姓啊，你们当追念摩押王巴勒所设的谋 和比珥的儿子巴兰回答他的话， 并你们从什亭到吉甲所遇见的事， 好使你们知道耶和华公义的作为。
O my people, remember nowe what Balak King of Moab had deuised, and what Balaam the sonne of Beor answered him, from Shittim vnto Gilgal, that ye may knowe the righteousnes of the Lord.
6 我朝见耶和华， 在至高 神面前跪拜，当献上什么呢？ 岂可献一岁的牛犊为燔祭吗？
Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bowe my selfe before the hie God? Shall I come before him with burnt offrings, and with calues of a yeere olde?
7 耶和华岂喜悦千千的公羊， 或是万万的油河吗？ 我岂可为自己的罪过献我的长子吗？ 为心中的罪恶献我身所生的吗？
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand riuers of oyle? shall I giue my first borne for my transgression, euen the fruite of my bodie, for the sinne of my soule?
8 世人哪，耶和华已指示你何为善。 他向你所要的是什么呢？ 只要你行公义，好怜悯， 存谦卑的心，与你的 神同行。
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth of thee: surely to doe iustly, and to loue mercie, and to humble thy selfe, to walke with thy God.
9 耶和华向这城呼叫， 智慧人必敬畏他的名。 你们当听是谁派定刑杖的惩罚。
The Lordes voyce cryeth vnto the citie, and the man of wisedome shall see thy name: Heare the rodde, and who hath appoynted it.
10 恶人家中不仍有非义之财 和可恶的小升斗吗？
Are yet the treasures of wickednes in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure, that is abominable?
11 我若用不公道的天平和囊中诡诈的法码， 岂可算为清洁呢？
Shall I iustifie the wicked balances, and the bag of deceitfull weightes?
12 城里的富户满行强暴； 其中的居民也说谎言， 口中的舌头是诡诈的。
For the rich men thereof are full of crueltie, and the inhabitants thereof haue spoken lyes, and their tongue is deceitfull in their mouth.
13 因此，我击打你， 使你的伤痕甚重， 使你因你的罪恶荒凉。
Therefore also will I make thee sicke in smiting thee, and in making thee desolate, because of thy sinnes.
14 你要吃，却吃不饱； 你的虚弱必显在你中间。 你必挪去，却不得救护； 所救护的，我必交给刀剑。
Thou shalt eate and not be satisfied, and thy casting downe shall be in the mids of thee, and thou shalt take holde, but shalt not deliuer: and that which thou deliuerest, will I giue vp to the sworde.
15 你必撒种，却不得收割； 踹橄榄，却不得油抹身； 踹葡萄，却不得酒喝。
Thou shalt sowe, but not reape: thou shalt treade the oliues, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oyle, and make sweete wine, but shalt not drinke wine.
16 因为你守暗利的恶规， 行亚哈家一切所行的， 顺从他们的计谋； 因此，我必使你荒凉， 使你的居民令人嗤笑， 你们也必担当我民的羞辱。
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the maner of the house of Ahab, and ye walke in their counsels, that I should make thee waste, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall beare the reproche of my people.
