Micah 5
1 Now gather yourself together, O daughter of troops, He has laid a siege against us, They strike [the] judge of Israel on the cheek with a rod.
成群的民哪，現在你要聚集成隊； 因為仇敵圍攻我們， 要用杖擊打以色列審判者的臉。
2 “And you, Beth-Lehem Ephratah, Little to be among the chiefs of Judah! From you He comes forth to Me—to be ruler in Israel, And His comings forth [are] of old, From the days of antiquity.”
伯利恆的以法他啊， 你在猶大諸城中為小， 將來必有一位從你那裏出來， 在以色列中為我作掌權的； 他的根源從亙古，從太初就有。
3 Therefore He gives them up until the time she who brings forth has brought forth, And the remnant of His brothers return to the sons of Israel.
耶和華必將以色列人交付敵人， 直等那生產的婦人生下子來。 那時掌權者其餘的弟兄 必歸到以色列人那裏。
4 And He has stood and delighted in the strength of YHWH, In the excellence of the Name of His God YHWH, And they have remained, For now He is great to the ends of the earth.
他必起來，倚靠耶和華的大能， 並耶和華－他上帝之名的威嚴， 牧養他的羊群。 他們要安然居住； 因為他必日見尊大，直到地極。
5 And this [One] has been peace. Asshur, when he comes into our land, And when he treads in our palaces, We have raised against him seven shepherds, And eight anointed of man.
這位必作我們的平安。 當亞述人進入我們的地境， 踐踏宮殿的時候， 我們就立起七個牧者， 八個首領攻擊他。
6 And they have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword, And the land of Nimrod at its openings, And He has delivered from Asshur when he comes into our land, And when he treads in our borders.
他們必用刀劍毀壞亞述地 和寧錄地的關口。 亞述人進入我們的地境踐踏的時候， 他必拯救我們。
7 And the remnant of Jacob has been in the midst of many peoples, As dew from YHWH—as showers on the herb, That does not wait for man, nor stays for the sons of men.
雅各餘剩的人必在多國的民中， 如從耶和華那裏降下的露水， 又如甘霖降在草上； 不仗賴人力，也不等候世人之功。
8 Indeed, the remnant of Jacob has been among nations, In the midst of many peoples, As a lion among beasts of a forest, As a young lion among ranks of a flock, Which if it has passed through, Has both trodden down and has torn, And there is no deliverer.
雅各餘剩的人必在多國多民中， 如林間百獸中的獅子， 又如少壯獅子在羊群中。 他若經過就必踐踏撕裂， 無人搭救。
9 High is your hand above your adversaries, And all your enemies are cut off.
願你的手舉起，高過敵人！ 願你的仇敵都被剪除！
10 “And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “I have cut off your horses from your midst, And I have destroyed your chariots,
耶和華說：到那日， 我必從你中間剪除馬匹， 毀壞車輛，
11 And I have cut off the cities of your land, And I have thrown down all your fortresses,
也必從你國中除滅城邑， 拆毀一切的保障，
12 And have cut off sorcerers out of your hand, And observers of clouds—you have none.
又必除掉你手中的邪術； 你那裏也不再有占卜的。
13 And I have cut off your carved images, And your standing-pillars out of your midst, And you do not bow yourself anymore To the work of your hands.
我必從你中間除滅雕刻的偶像和柱像， 你就不再跪拜自己手所造的。
14 And I have plucked up your Asherim out of your midst, And I have destroyed your enemies.
我必從你中間拔出木偶， 又毀滅你的城邑。
15 And I have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the nations who have not listened!”
我也必在怒氣和忿怒中向那不聽從的列國施報。
