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。
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
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 covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
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。
Therefore Yahweh says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
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。
In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5 所以在耶和華的會中， 你必沒有人拈鬮拉準繩。
Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in Yahweh’s assembly.
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。
“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake 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？
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
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。
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
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 out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing 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。
Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
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 man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this 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 surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
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。
He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.
