Micah 7
1 Woe is me, for I am become as one that gleaneth in autumn the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, my soul desired the firstripe figs.
哀哉！我好像夏天的果子已被收盡， 又像摘了葡萄所剩下的， 沒有一掛可吃的； 我心羨慕初熟的無花果。
2 The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his brother to death.
地上虔誠人滅盡； 世間沒有正直人； 各人埋伏，要殺人流血， 都用網羅獵取弟兄。
3 The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requireth, and the judge is for giving: and the great man hath uttered the desire of his soul, and they have troubled it.
他們雙手作惡； 君王徇情面，審判官要賄賂； 位分大的吐出惡意， 都彼此結聯行惡。
4 He that is best among them, is as a brier: and he that is righteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy visitation cometh: now shall be their destruction.
他們最好的，不過是蒺藜； 最正直的，不過是荊棘籬笆。 你守望者說，降罰的日子已經來到。 他們必擾亂不安。
5 Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.
不要倚賴鄰舍； 不要信靠密友。 要守住你的口； 不要向你懷中的妻提說。
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man’s enemies are they of his own household.
因為，兒子藐視父親； 女兒抗拒母親； 媳婦抗拒婆婆； 人的仇敵就是自己家裏的人。
7 But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God my Saviour: my God will hear me.
至於我，我要仰望耶和華， 要等候那救我的上帝； 我的上帝必應允我。
8 Rejoice not, thou, my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
我的仇敵啊，不要向我誇耀。 我雖跌倒，卻要起來； 我雖坐在黑暗裏， 耶和華卻作我的光。
9 I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him; until he judge my cause and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.
我要忍受耶和華的惱怒； 因我得罪了他， 直等他為我辨屈，為我伸冤。 他必領我到光明中； 我必得見他的公義。
10 And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame, who saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall look down upon her: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.
那時我的仇敵， 就是曾對我說「耶和華－你上帝在哪裏」的， 他一看見這事就被羞愧遮蓋。 我必親眼見他遭報； 他必被踐踏，如同街上的泥土。
11 The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day shall the law be far removed.
以色列啊，日子必到， 你的牆垣必重修； 到那日，你的境界必開展。
12 In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the fortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
當那日，人必從亞述， 從埃及的城邑， 從埃及到大河， 從這海到那海， 從這山到那山， 都歸到你這裏。
13 And the land shall be made desolate, because of the inhabitants thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.
然而，這地因居民的緣故， 又因他們行事的結果，必然荒涼。
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old.
求耶和華在迦密山的樹林中， 用你的杖牧放你獨居的民， 就是你產業的羊群。 求你容他們在巴珊和基列得食物，像古時一樣。
15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt I will shew him wonders.
耶和華說： 我要把奇事顯給他們看， 好像出埃及地的時候一樣。
16 The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
列國看見這事就必為自己的勢力慚愧； 他們必用手摀口，掩耳不聽。
17 They shall lick the dust like serpents, as the creeping things of the earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the Lord our God, and shall fear thee.
他們必舔土如蛇， 又如土中腹行的物， 戰戰兢兢地出他們的營寨。 他們必戰懼投降耶和華， 也必因我們的上帝而懼怕。
18 Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy.
上帝啊，有何神像你，赦免罪孽， 饒恕你產業之餘民的罪過， 不永遠懷怒，喜愛施恩？
19 He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.
必再憐憫我們， 將我們的罪孽踏在腳下， 又將我們的一切罪投於深海。
20 Thou wilt perform the truth of Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
你必按古時起誓應許我們列祖的話， 向雅各發誠實， 向亞伯拉罕施慈愛。
