Micah 1
1 THE WORD of the LORD that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
猶大不約堂、阿哈次和希則克雅年間，上主的話傳給摩勒舍特人米該亞；以下如果他關於撒馬黎雅和耶路撒冷所見的聖視：
2 Hear, ye peoples, all of you; Hearken, O earth, and all that therein is; and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.
眾民族，你們請聽! 大地和充乎其間的萬物，你們側耳傾聽! 吾主上主要作証反抗你們，吾主已離開了衪的聖殿。
3 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of His place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
看，上主已離開自己的居所下降，踏著大地高處前行。
4 And the mountains shall be molten under Him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place.
在衪腳下，諸山銷鎔，諸谷分裂，有如蠟在火前，有如冰瀉斜坡。
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
這一切都是因為雅各伯的邪惡，猶大家的罪過。雅各伯的邪惡是什麼﹖不就是撒馬黎雅﹖猶大的罪過是什麼﹖不就是耶路撒冷﹖
6 Therefore I will make Samaria a heap in the field, a place for the planting of vineyards; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations thereof.
我必要使撒馬黎雅變為田野中的廢墟，化為栽植葡萄的園地；我要把她的石頭投入山谷，暴露她的基礎。
7 And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered them, and unto the hire of a harlot shall they return.
她的一切雕像必被打碎；她的一切淫資必被火燒盡；她的一切偶像，我必使之變為廢物，因為偶像是聚合娼妓淫資做成的，將再轉為娼妓的淫資。
8 For this will I wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a mourning like the ostriches.
為此，我要哀號悲鳴，我要赤足裸體而行；哀號若豺狼，悲鳴如駝鳥；
9 For her wound is incurable; for it is come even unto Judah; it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
因為撒馬黎雅的創傷無法醫治，且已廷及猶大，逼近我的門口，直達耶路撒冷。
10 Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
你們在加達不要歡樂，在隨苛要慟哭，在貝特敖斐勒，要輾轉於灰塵之中。
11 Pass ye away, O inhabitant of Saphir, in nakedness and shame; the inhabitant of Zaanan is not come forth; the wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the standing-place thereof.
沙非爾的居民! 人已向你吹起了號角；匝南的居民，不要走出自己的城! 在貝特厄責耳有了哭訴，因為人從你們手中奪去了立足之地。
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waiteth anxiously for good; because evil is come down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.
災禍已由上主降於耶路撒冷門前，瑪洛特的居民還怎能希望幸福﹖
13 Bind the chariots to the swift steeds, O inhabitant of Lachish; she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel are found in thee.
拉基士的居民，你們要以快馬駕車! 你們是熙雍子女犯罪的開端，因為在你們中間找出以色列罪惡的根源。
14 Therefore shalt thou give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing unto the kings of Israel.
摩勒舍特加特! 人要給你送來臨別的贈品；阿革齊布家為以色列君王，是一條變幻無常的溪流。
15 I will yet bring unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him that shall possess thee; the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam.
瑪勒沙的居民，征服者還要來你們這裏；的確，以色列的光榮阿杜蘭將要消逝!
16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delight; enlarge thy baldness as the vulture; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
熙雍女子! 妳應為了妳所愛的子女剃頭削髮，並要徹底使妳的頭光禿，有如一隻兀鷹，因為你們已由妳面前被擄去充軍。
