弥迦书 1
1 当犹大王约坦、亚哈斯、希西家在位的时候，摩利沙人弥迦得耶和华的默示，论撒马利亚和耶路撒冷。
The LORD’s word that came to Micah of Morasheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 万民哪，你们都要听！ 地和其上所有的，也都要侧耳而听！ 主耶和华从他的圣殿 要见证你们的不是。
Hear, you peoples, all of you! Listen, O earth, and all that is therein. Let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 看哪，耶和华出了他的居所， 降临步行地的高处。
For behold, the LORD comes out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
4 众山在他以下必消化， 诸谷必崩裂， 如蜡化在火中， 如水冲下山坡。
The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 这都因雅各的罪过， 以色列家的罪恶。 雅各的罪过在哪里呢？ 岂不是在撒马利亚吗？ 犹大的邱坛在哪里呢？ 岂不是在耶路撒冷吗？
“All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn’t it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren’t they Jerusalem?
6 所以我必使撒马利亚变为田野的乱堆， 又作为种葡萄之处； 也必将她的石头倒在谷中， 露出根基来。
Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.
7 她一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎； 她所得的财物必被火烧； 所有的偶像我必毁灭； 因为是从妓女雇价所聚来的， 后必归为妓女的雇价。
All her idols will be beaten to pieces, all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and I will destroy all her images; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.”
8 先知说：因此我必大声哀号， 赤脚露体而行； 又要呼号如野狗， 哀鸣如鸵鸟。
For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the ostriches.
9 因为撒马利亚的伤痕无法医治， 延及犹大和耶路撒冷我民的城门。
For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 不要在迦特报告这事， 总不要哭泣； 我在伯·亚弗拉滚于灰尘之中。
Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
11 沙斐的居民哪，你们要赤身蒙羞过去。 撒南的居民不敢出来。 伯·以薛人的哀哭使你们无处可站。
Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won’t come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
12 玛律的居民心甚忧急，切望得好处， 因为灾祸从耶和华那里临到耶路撒冷的城门。
For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 拉吉的居民哪，要用快马套车； 锡安民的罪由你而起； 以色列人的罪过在你那里显出。
Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 犹大啊，你要将礼物送给摩利设·迦特。 亚革悉的众族必用诡诈待以色列诸王。
Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
15 玛利沙的居民哪， 我必使那夺取你的来到你这里； 以色列的尊贵人必到亚杜兰。
I will yet bring a conqueror to you, inhabitants of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
16 犹大啊，要为你所喜爱的儿女剪除你的头发， 使头光秃，要大大地光秃，如同秃鹰， 因为他们都被掳去离开你。
Shave your heads, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture, for they have gone into captivity from you!
