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。
Hear now a word: the Lord God has said; Arise, plead with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
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。
Hear you, O mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and [you] valleys [even] the foundations of the earth: for the Lord [has] a controversy with his people, and will plead 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 have I done to you? or wherein have I grieved you? or wherein have I troubled you? answer 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。
For I brought tee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, and sent before you Moses, and Aaron, and Mariam.
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 now, what counsel Balac king of Moab took against you, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from the reeds to Galgal; that the righteousness of the Lord might be known.
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？
Wherewithal shall I reach the Lord, [and] lay hold of my God most high? shall I reach him by whole burnt offerings, by calves of a year old?
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 accept thousands of rams, or ten thousands of fat goats? should I give my firstborn for ungodliness, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
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。
Has it [not] been told you, O man, what [is] good? or what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and love mercy, and be ready to walk with the Lord your 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 Lord's voice shall be proclaimed in the city, and he shall save those that fear his name: hear, O tribe; and who shall order the city?
10 恶人家中不仍有非义之财 和可恶的小升斗吗？
[Is there] not fire, and the house of the wicked heaping up wicked treasures, and [that] with the pride of unrighteousness?
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 the wicked be justified by the balanced, or deceitful weights in the bag,
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。
whereby they have accumulated their ungodly wealth, and they that dwell in the city have uttered falsehoods, and their tongue has been exalted 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 will I begin to strike you; I will destroy you in your sins.
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。
You shall eat, and shall not be satisfied; and there shall be darkness upon you; and he shall depart from [you], and you shall not escape; and all that shall escape shall be delivered over to the sword.
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。
You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall press the olive, but you shall not anoint yourself with oil; and [shall make] wine, but you shall drink no wine: and the ordinances of my people shall be utterly abolished.
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 you have kept the statues of Zambri, and [done] all the works of the house of Achaab; and you have walked in their ways, that I might deliver you to utter destruction, and those that inhabit the city to hissing: and you shall bear the reproach of nations.
