Micah 1
1 The word of the Lord, that came vnto Micah the Morashite in the dayes of Iotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah, which he sawe concerning Samaria, and Ierusalem.
當猶大王約坦、亞哈斯、希西家在位的時候，摩利沙人彌迦得耶和華的默示，論撒馬利亞和耶路撒冷。
2 Heare, al ye people: hearke thou, O earth, and all that therein is, and let the Lord God be witnes against you, euen ye Lord from his holy Teple.
萬民哪，你們都要聽！ 地和其上所有的，也都要側耳而聽！ 主耶和華從他的聖殿 要見證你們的不是。
3 For beholde, the Lord commeth out of his place, and will come downe, and tread vpon the hie places of the earth.
看哪，耶和華出了他的居所， 降臨步行地的高處。
4 And the mountaines shall melt vnder him (so shall the valleys cleaue) as waxe before the fire, and as the waters that are powred downewarde.
眾山在他以下必消化， 諸谷必崩裂， 如蠟化在火中， 如水沖下山坡。
5 For the wickednes of Iaakob is all this, and for the sinnes of the house of Israel: what is the wickednes of Iaakob? Is not Samaria? and which are the hie places of Iudah? Is not Ierusalem?
這都因雅各的罪過， 以色列家的罪惡。 雅各的罪過在哪裏呢？ 豈不是在撒馬利亞嗎？ 猶大的邱壇在哪裏呢？ 豈不是在耶路撒冷嗎？
6 Therefore I wil make Samaria as an heape of the fielde, and for the planting of a vineyard, and I will cause the stones thereof to tumble downe into the valley, and I will discouer the foundations thereof.
所以我必使撒馬利亞變為田野的亂堆， 又作為種葡萄之處； 也必將她的石頭倒在谷中， 露出根基來。
7 And all the grauen images thereof shalbe broken, and all the giftes thereof shalbe burnt with the fire, and all the idoles thereof will I destroy: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall returne to the wages of an harlot.
她一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎； 她所得的財物必被火燒； 所有的偶像我必毀滅； 因為是從妓女雇價所聚來的， 後必歸為妓女的雇價。
8 Therefore I will mourne and howle: I wil goe without clothes, and naked: I will make lamentation like the dragons, and mourning as the ostriches.
先知說：因此我必大聲哀號， 赤腳露體而行； 又要呼號如野狗， 哀鳴如鴕鳥。
9 For her plagues are grieuous: for it is come into Iudah: the enemie is come vnto the gate of my people, vnto Ierusalem.
因為撒馬利亞的傷痕無法醫治， 延及猶大和耶路撒冷我民的城門。
10 Declare ye it not at Gath, neither weepe ye: for the house of Aphrah roule thy selfe in the dust.
不要在迦特報告這事， 總不要哭泣； 我在伯‧亞弗拉滾於灰塵之中。
11 Thou that dwellest at Shaphir, go together naked with shame: she that dwelleth at Zaanan, shall not come forth in ye mourning of Beth-ezel: the enemie shall receiue of you for his standing.
沙斐的居民哪，你們要赤身蒙羞過去。 撒南的居民不敢出來。 伯‧以薛人的哀哭使你們無處可站。
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth wayted for good, but euill came from the Lord vnto the gate of Ierusalem.
瑪律的居民心甚憂急，切望得好處， 因為災禍從耶和華那裏臨到耶路撒冷的城門。
13 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, binde the charet to the beastes of price: she is the beginning of the sinne to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
拉吉的居民哪，要用快馬套車； 錫安民的罪由你而起； 以色列人的罪過在你那裏顯出。
14 Therefore shalt thou giue presents to Moresheth Gath: the houses of Achzib shalbe as a lye to the Kings of Israel.
猶大啊，你要將禮物送給摩利設‧迦特。 亞革悉的眾族必用詭詐待以色列諸王。
15 Yet will I bring an heire vnto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, he shall come vnto Adullam, the glorie of Israel.
瑪利沙的居民哪， 我必使那奪取你的來到你這裏； 以色列的尊貴人必到亞杜蘭。
16 Make thee balde: and shaue thee for thy delicate children: enlarge thy baldenesse as the eagle, for they are gone into captiuity from thee.
猶大啊，要為你所喜愛的兒女剪除你的頭髮， 使頭光禿，要大大地光禿，如同禿鷹， 因為他們都被擄去離開你。
