彌迦書 2
1 禍哉，那些在床上圖謀罪孽、造作奸惡的！ 天一發亮，因手有能力就行出來了。
How disastrous it will be for those who devise evil plans as they lie awake at night. They get up in the morning to carry them out, because they have the power to do just that.
2 他們貪圖田地就佔據， 貪圖房屋便奪取； 他們欺壓人，霸佔房屋和產業。
They seize any fields they want. They take any houses they want. They cheat people of their houses, and steal their inheritance.
3 所以耶和華如此說： 我籌劃災禍降與這族； 這禍在你們的頸項上不能解脫； 你們也不能昂首而行， 因為這時勢是惡的。
So this is what the Lord says. Watch out! I am planning to bring disaster on such families. They won't be able to escape. You will no longer walk around arrogantly, for this will be a time of disaster.
4 到那日，必有人向你們提起悲慘的哀歌， 譏刺說：我們全然敗落了！ 耶和華將我們的分轉歸別人， 何竟使這分離開我們？ 他將我們的田地分給悖逆的人。
On that day they will make up a saying to taunt you. With a mocking lament they will say, “We are totally ruined! Our possessions are being sold off. They've taken everything away, and given our fields to your conquerors.”
5 所以在耶和華的會中， 你必沒有人拈鬮拉準繩。
Consequently at that time there will be none of you in the assembly of the Lord responsible for the division of the land.
6 他們說：你們不可說預言； 不可向這些人說預言， 不住地羞辱我們。
But you preach at me, saying, “Don't preach such things. Don't prophesy like this. Such a humiliation won't happen to us!”
7 雅各家啊，豈可說耶和華的心不忍耐嗎？ 這些事是他所行的嗎？ 我－耶和華的言語豈不是與行動正直的人有益嗎？
Should you talk like that, descendants of Jacob? You ask, “Can the Lord run out of patience? Is this what he does?” Are not my words good to those who do what is right? asks the Lord.
8 然而，近來我的民興起如仇敵， 從那些安然經過不願打仗之人身上剝去外衣。
Lately my people have risen up against me like an enemy. You steal the coats off the backs of those passing by, men returning from war who expect to be safe in their homeland.
9 你們將我民中的婦人從安樂家中趕出， 又將我的榮耀從她們的小孩子盡行奪去。
You drive the women of my people from their comfortable homes; you have robbed their children of my blessings forever.
10 你們起來去吧！ 這不是你們安息之所； 因為污穢使人毀滅， 而且大大毀滅。
Get up! Leave! For this is not a place for you to stay. It is defiled and totally ruined.
11 若有人心存虛假，用謊言說： 我要向你們預言得清酒和濃酒。 那人就必作這民的先知。
If a false prophet should come to you and lie, saying, “I'll preach to you about the virtues of wine and alcohol,” he would be the perfect prophet for your kind of people.
12 雅各家啊，我必要聚集你們， 必要招聚以色列剩下的人， 安置在一處，如波斯拉的羊， 又如草場上的羊群； 因為人數眾多就必大大喧嘩。
I will certainly gather all of you, descendants of Jacob, I will certainly bring back together those who are left, Israel. I will place them like sheep in the fold, like a flock in its pasture. The land will be filled with people celebrating.
13 開路的在他們前面上去； 他們直闖過城門，從城門出去。 他們的王在前面行； 耶和華引導他們。
The One who opens the way for them will lead them, breaking through the gate and going out. Their King will lead them; the Lord himself will be at their head.
