Micah 7
1 Woe is me! For I am like one gathering summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster to eat, no early fig that I crave.
我有禍了! 因為我變成了一個夏季搜摘果實，採集殘餘葡萄的人，卻沒有一粒葡萄可吃，也沒有我心思所想望的早熟的無花果。
2 The godly man has perished from the earth; there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; they hunt one another with a net.
虔敬人從地上消逝了，人間竟沒有一個正直人；人人都潛伏著要流人血，各以羅網獵取自己的弟兄。
3 Both hands are skilled at evil; the prince and the judge demand a bribe. When the powerful utters his evil desire, they all conspire together.
他們的手善於作惡，官員貪求賄賂，法官勒索酬金，權貴只隨自己的心願發言，他們顛倒了一切。
4 The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a hedge of thorns. The day for your watchmen has come, the day of your visitation. Now is the time of their confusion.
他們中最好的人也不過相似荊棘，最正直的人也不過相似有刺的籬笆。你的守望者所宣佈的懲罰之日已經到了；現在他們必要驚惶。
5 Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.
你們不要信賴鄰里；不要倚靠朋友，連對躺在你懷中的妻子，也也要堅守口舌，
6 For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household.
因為兒子要侮辱自己的父親，女兒要反抗自己的母親，兒媳要違抗自己的婆母：人的仇敵就是自己的家人。
7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
至於我，我要仰望上主，寄望於拯救我的天主；天主必要俯聽我。
8 Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.
我的仇敵! 你不要因我遭難而高興；我雖然跌倒，必再起來；我雖坐在黑暗中，但上主是我的光明。
9 Because I have sinned against Him, I must endure the rage of the LORD, until He argues my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will see His righteousness.
因為我得罪了上主，我必須承擔上主的義怒，直到衪審判我的案件，為我主持公道，衪必領 進入光明，我必能目睹衪的正義。
10 Then my enemy will see and will be covered with shame— she who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her; at that time she will be trampled like mud in the streets.
我的仇敵見了，必要蒙受羞辱，因為他曾對我說：「上主你的天主在哪裏﹖」我的眼必要看見他，有如街上的污泥被人踐踏。
11 The day for rebuilding your walls will come— the day for extending your boundary.
必有一天，要重建你的城垣；那一天，你的地界必要擴展；
12 On that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, even from Egypt to the Euphrates, from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
那一天，從亞述到埃及，從提洛到幼發的河，從這海到那海，從這山到那山的人民，都要向你歸來；
13 Then the earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as the fruit of their deeds.
其餘的地域，必因其中居民行為的惡果，變為一片荒涼。
14 Shepherd with Your staff Your people, the flock of Your inheritance. They live alone in a woodland, surrounded by pastures. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
上主，求你拿你的牧杖牧放你的人民──獨留在草莽中，在田園間，作你基業的羊群；讓他們在巴商和基肋阿得獲得豢養，一如昔日。
15 As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show My wonders.
上主一如讓我們在你出離埃及的時日內，見到奇蹟；
16 Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their might. They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become deaf.
讓異民見了，感到自己一籌莫展，棎自慚愧，用手掩口，雙耳變聾。
17 They will lick the dust like a snake, like reptiles slithering on the ground. They will crawl from their holes in the presence of the LORD our God; they will tremble in fear of You.
他們將舔土如蛇，像上爬行的爬蟲，戰戰兢兢地從他們洞穴裏爬出來，向你，上主我們的天主，表示尊敬敬畏。
18 Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance— who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion?
哪裏有神相似你，赦免罪惡，寬宥他的基業──遺民的過錯，不堅時憤怒於永遠，反而喜愛仁慈﹖
19 He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.
你必再憐憫我們，將我們的邪惡踏於足下，將我們的一切罪過投入海底。
20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob and loving devotion to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from the days of old.
你必按照你昔日向我們祖先所發了的誓，對雅各伯表示忠信，對亞巴郎施行仁慈。
