Micah 6
1 Hearken ye nowe what the Lord sayth, Arise thou, and contende before the mountaines, and let the hilles heare thy voyce.
以色列人哪，當聽耶和華的話！ 要起來向山嶺爭辯， 使岡陵聽你的話。
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.
山嶺和地永久的根基啊， 要聽耶和華爭辯的話！ 因為耶和華要與他的百姓爭辯， 與以色列爭論。
3 O my people, what haue I done vnto thee? or wherin haue I grieued thee? testifie against me.
我的百姓啊，我向你做了甚麼呢？ 我在甚麼事上使你厭煩？ 你可以對我證明。
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.
我曾將你從埃及地領出來， 從作奴僕之家救贖你； 我也差遣摩西、亞倫，和米利暗在你前面行。
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.
我的百姓啊，你們當追念摩押王巴勒所設的謀 和比珥的兒子巴蘭回答他的話， 並你們從什亭到吉甲所遇見的事， 好使你們知道耶和華公義的作為。
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?
我朝見耶和華， 在至高上帝面前跪拜，當獻上甚麼呢？ 豈可獻一歲的牛犢為燔祭嗎？
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?
耶和華豈喜悅千千的公羊， 或是萬萬的油河嗎？ 我豈可為自己的罪過獻我的長子嗎？ 為心中的罪惡獻我身所生的嗎？
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.
世人哪，耶和華已指示你何為善。 他向你所要的是甚麼呢？ 只要你行公義，好憐憫， 存謙卑的心，與你的上帝同行。
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.
耶和華向這城呼叫， 智慧人必敬畏他的名。 你們當聽是誰派定刑杖的懲罰。
10 Are yet the treasures of wickednes in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure, that is abominable?
惡人家中不仍有非義之財 和可惡的小升斗嗎？
11 Shall I iustifie the wicked balances, and the bag of deceitfull weightes?
我若用不公道的天平和囊中詭詐的法碼， 豈可算為清潔呢？
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.
城裏的富戶滿行強暴； 其中的居民也說謊言， 口中的舌頭是詭詐的。
13 Therefore also will I make thee sicke in smiting thee, and in making thee desolate, because of thy sinnes.
因此，我擊打你， 使你的傷痕甚重， 使你因你的罪惡荒涼。
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； 你的虛弱必顯在你中間。 你必挪去，卻不得救護； 所救護的，我必交給刀劍。
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.
你必撒種，卻不得收割； 踹橄欖，卻不得油抹身； 踹葡萄，卻不得酒喝。
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.
因為你守暗利的惡規， 行亞哈家一切所行的， 順從他們的計謀； 因此，我必使你荒涼， 使你的居民令人嗤笑， 你們也必擔當我民的羞辱。
