Micah 2
1 Woe to those that devise wickedness, and resolve on evil upon their couches! by the first light of the morning they execute it, if they have it in the power of their hand.
禍哉，那些在床上籌劃不義，圖謀行惡的人! 因為你們手中有能力，一到天亮，就去實行。
2 And they covet fields, and rob them; and houses, and take them away: so they defraud the master and his house, and the man and his heritage.
他們想要田地，便去霸佔；朼想要房屋，便去奪取：以暴力對付業主和他的家族，物主和他的產業。
3 Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will devise against this family an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; nor shall ye go erect; for it is an evil time.
為此上主這樣說：「看，我正在為這一家籌劃災禍，致令你們不能縮回你們的頭頸，也不能挺身前行，因為那是一個災禍的時刻。」
4 On that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a mournful lamentation, and say, “We are utterly wasted: the portion of my people hath he exchanged; how hath he removed it from me! instead of restoring [them to us] he divideth our fields.”
在那一日，人要作詩諷刺你們，唱這悲慘的哀哥說：「我們完全被搶掠了，我人民的基業已被人瓜分了，再無人歸還；我們的土地已分配給搶掠我們的人! 」
5 Therefore shalt thou have none that shall draw the [measuring] cord in [his] lot in the congregation of the Lord.
因此，你們在上主的集會中，再沒有拉繩測量和抽籤的人。
6 “Preach not;” [but] they shall preach: they shall not preach [indeed] to these, that reproach may not overtake them.
你們講說：「你們不要說預言。」「人不該預言這樣的事，恥辱決不會來到我們身上!
7 Shall it be said [in] the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of the Lord straightened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
雅各伯的家豈是可詛咒的﹖上主的氣量豈能變為狹小﹖難道這是衪的作風﹖衪的話豈不是有益於以色列子民﹖」
8 But long since is my people risen up as an enemy: from the garment do you pull off the ornament; of those that pass by securely [ye make] men returned from war.
「但是你們正像敵人一樣，起來攻擊我的人民，因為你們向沒有短衣的人索取長袍，向平安走路的人索取戰利品。
9 The wives of my people do you drive out of their delightful houses; from their children do ye take away my ornament for ever.
你們驅逐我人民的婦女離開她們的快樂家庭，從她們的嬰兒身上，永遠奪去我的光榮。
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because it is polluted, it shall destroy [you], even with a grievous destruction.
你們起來走吧! 因為這不是你們安息之所。為了不懂，這地必要遭受不可挽救的毀滅。」
11 If a man that goeth after wind and lieth with falsehood [should say], “I will preach unto thee of wine and of strong drink:” he would be a preacher for this people.
假若有人隨從虛妄而撒謊說：「我要對你預言清酒和醇酒。」這人必可作這民族的先知。
12 I will [once] surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather up the remnant of Israel; I will place them together as flocks in the fold, as droves in the midst of their pen: they shall be crowded with men.
我必要聚集雅各伯全民眾，我必要集合以色列的遺民，使他們合併在一處，有如羊欄裏的綿羊，有如牧場上的羊群，不再怕任何人。
13 The wall-breaker cometh up before them; they break in and pass through the gate, and go out by it: and their king passeth on before them, and the Lord at their head.
開路者走在他們前面開道；他走在前面，眾人隨他穿門而過；他們的君王走在他們們前面，上主親作他們的響導。
