Michaeas 2
1 They meditated troubles, and wrought wickedness on their beds, and they put it in execution with the daylight; for they have not lifted up their hands to God.
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。
2 And they desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even a man and his inheritance.
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。
3 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I devise evils against this family, out of which you shall not lift up your necks, neither shall you walk upright speedily: for the time is evil.
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。
4 In that day shall a parable be taken up against you, and a plaintive lamentation shall be uttered, saying, We are thoroughly miserable: the portion of my people has been measured out with a line, and there was none to hinder him so as to turn him back; your fields have been divided.
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。
5 Therefore you shall have no one to cast a line for the lot.
所以在耶和華的會中， 你必沒有人拈鬮拉準繩。
6 Weep not with tears in the assembly of the Lord, neither let [any] weep for these things; for he shall not remove the reproaches,
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。
7 who says, The house of Jacob has provoked the Spirit of the Lord; are not these his practices? Are not the Lord's words right with him? and have they not proceeded correctly?
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？
8 Even beforetime my people withstood [him] as an enemy against his peace; they have stripped off his skin to remove hope [in] the conflict of war.
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。
9 The leaders of my people shall be cast forth from their luxurious houses; they are rejected because of their evil practices; draw you near to the everlasting mountains.
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。
10 Arise you, and depart; for this is not your rest because of uncleanness: you have been utterly destroyed;
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。
11 you have fled, no one pursuing [you: your] spirit has framed falsehood, it has dropped on you for wine and strong drink. But it shall come to pass, [that] out of the dropping of this people,
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。
12 Jacob shall be completely gathered with all [his people: ] I will surely receive the remnant of Israel; I will cause them to return together, as sheep in trouble, as a flock in the midst of their fold: they shall rush forth from amongst men through the breach made before them:
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。
13 they have broken through, and passed the gate, and gone out by it: and their king has gone out before them, and the Lord shall lead them.
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。
