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。
Listen now to what the LORD says: "Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
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 mountains, the LORD's controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will contend 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。
My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened 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 you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you 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。
My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts 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？
How shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves 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 be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? 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。
He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with 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 calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: "Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
10 恶人家中不仍有非义之财 和可恶的小升斗吗？
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?
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 be pure with dishonest scales, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
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。
Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
13 因此，我击打你， 使你的伤痕甚重， 使你因你的罪恶荒凉。
Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of 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, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; and that which you save I will give up 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 will sow, but won't reap. You will tread the olives, but won't anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won't drink the 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 works of the house of Ahab; and you walk in their counsels. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and her inhabitants an object of contempt; and you will bear the scorn of the nations."
