Micah 6
1 Hearken ye nowe what the Lord sayth, Arise thou, and contende before the mountaines, and let the hilles heare thy voyce.
惟願你們傾聽上主所說的話：「起來，在諸山面前進行訴訟，使丘陵能聽見你的聲音! 」
2 Heare ye, O mountaynes, the Lordes quarel, and ye mightie foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a quarell against his people, and he will pleade with Israel.
諸山，請聽上主的申訴；大地的基礎，側耳傾聽吧! 因為上主與衪的人民有所爭訟，與以色列有所爭辯：
3 O my people, what haue I done vnto thee? or wherin haue I grieued thee? testifie against me.
「我的人民! 我對你做了什麼﹖我在什麼事上叫你討厭﹖請你答覆我!
4 Surely I brought thee vp out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of seruants, and I haue sent before thee, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
難道如果我由埃及地領了你上來，從奴隸之家贖了你回來，在你面前委派了梅瑟、亞郎和米黎盎﹖
5 O my people, remember nowe what Balak King of Moab had deuised, and what Balaam the sonne of Beor answered him, from Shittim vnto Gilgal, that ye may knowe the righteousnes of the Lord.
我的人民，請你記憶摩阿布王巴拉圖圖謀過什麼事，貝敖爾的兒子巴郎答應了他什麼；再記憶從史廷到基耳加耳發生過什麼事，好使你明瞭上主的仁慈作為。」
6 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bowe my selfe before the hie God? Shall I come before him with burnt offrings, and with calues of a yeere olde?
我要到上主那裏，叩拜至高者天主，應進獻什麼，應進獻全燔祭，還是應進獻一歲的牛犢﹖
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand riuers of oyle? shall I giue my first borne for my transgression, euen the fruite of my bodie, for the sinne of my soule?
上主豈喜悅萬千的公羊，或萬道河流的油﹖為了我的過犯，我應否獻上我的長子﹖為了我靈魂的罪惡，我應否獻上我親生的兒子﹖」
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth of thee: surely to doe iustly, and to loue mercie, and to humble thy selfe, to walke with thy God.
人啊! 已通知了你，什麼是善，上主要求於你的是什麼：無非就是履行正義，愛好慈善，虛心與你的天主來往。
9 The Lordes voyce cryeth vnto the citie, and the man of wisedome shall see thy name: Heare the rodde, and who hath appoynted it.
聽! 上主向城邑的呼聲：我必拯救敬畏我名的人。支派和城市的會眾，靜聽：
10 Are yet the treasures of wickednes in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure, that is abominable?
我豈能忘掉惡人家中的不義之財，和那可詛咒的小「厄法」﹖
11 Shall I iustifie the wicked balances, and the bag of deceitfull weightes?
我豈能把用欺騙的天秤和囊中有假法碼的人視為清廉﹖
12 For the rich men thereof are full of crueltie, and the inhabitants thereof haue spoken lyes, and their tongue is deceitfull in their mouth.
城中的富人充滿了強暴，其中的居民好說謊話，滿口欺詐；
13 Therefore also will I make thee sicke in smiting thee, and in making thee desolate, because of thy sinnes.
因此，我才開始打擊你，為了你的罪惡使你荒涼。
14 Thou shalt eate and not be satisfied, and thy casting downe shall be in the mids of thee, and thou shalt take holde, but shalt not deliuer: and that which thou deliuerest, will I giue vp to the sworde.
你要吃，卻吃不飽，腹中常感到空虛；你縱然能把寶藏搬走，卻不能保全；既使你能保全，我也必要付之刀劍。
15 Thou shalt sowe, but not reape: thou shalt treade the oliues, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oyle, and make sweete wine, but shalt not drinke wine.
你要播種，卻得不到收穫；你要榨橄欖油，卻得不到油抹身；你要榨葡萄酒，卻得不到酒喝。
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the maner of the house of Ahab, and ye walke in their counsels, that I should make thee waste, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall beare the reproche of my people.
因為你遵守了敖默黎的法令，保存了阿哈布家的一切作風，遵循行了他們的主張；因此，我必要仗你荒涼，使你們你的居民成為笑柄；你必要承擔異民的侮辱。
