彌迦書 6
1 以色列人哪，當聽耶和華的話！ 要起來向山嶺爭辯， 使岡陵聽你的話。
Hear now a word: the Lord God has said; Arise, plead with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
2 山嶺和地永久的根基啊， 要聽耶和華爭辯的話！ 因為耶和華要與他的百姓爭辯， 與以色列爭論。
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，我向你做了甚麼呢？ 我在甚麼事上使你厭煩？ 你可以對我證明。
O my people, what have I done to you? or wherein have I grieved you? or wherein have I troubled you? answer me.
4 我曾將你從埃及地領出來， 從作奴僕之家救贖你； 我也差遣摩西、亞倫，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，你們當追念摩押王巴勒所設的謀 和比珥的兒子巴蘭回答他的話， 並你們從什亭到吉甲所遇見的事， 好使你們知道耶和華公義的作為。
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 我朝見耶和華， 在至高上帝面前跪拜，當獻上甚麼呢？ 豈可獻一歲的牛犢為燔祭嗎？
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 耶和華豈喜悅千千的公羊， 或是萬萬的油河嗎？ 我豈可為自己的罪過獻我的長子嗎？ 為心中的罪惡獻我身所生的嗎？
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，耶和華已指示你何為善。 他向你所要的是甚麼呢？ 只要你行公義，好憐憫， 存謙卑的心，與你的上帝同行。
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 耶和華向這城呼叫， 智慧人必敬畏他的名。 你們當聽是誰派定刑杖的懲罰。
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 惡人家中不仍有非義之財 和可惡的小升斗嗎？
[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詭詐的法碼， 豈可算為清潔呢？
Shall the wicked be justified by the balanced, or deceitful weights in the bag,
12 城裏的富戶滿行強暴； 其中的居民也說謊言， 口中的舌頭是詭詐的。
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，我擊打你， 使你的傷痕甚重， 使你因你的罪惡荒涼。
Therefore will I begin to strike you; I will destroy you in your sins.
14 你要吃，卻吃不飽； 你的虛弱必顯在你中間。 你必挪去，卻不得救護； 所救護的，我必交給刀劍。
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 你必撒種，卻不得收割； 踹橄欖，卻不得油抹身； 踹葡萄，卻不得酒喝。
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 因為你守暗利的惡規， 行亞哈家一切所行的， 順從他們的計謀； 因此，我必使你荒涼， 使你的居民令人嗤笑， 你們也必擔當我民的羞辱。
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.
