Micah 3
1 I also said: ‘Listen now, leaders of Jacob, judges of the house of Israel. Is it not your duty to know what is the right?
我說：雅各的首領， 以色列家的官長啊，你們要聽！ 你們不當知道公平嗎？
2 Haters of that which is good and lovers of evil!
你們惡善好惡， 從人身上剝皮， 從人骨頭上剔肉，
3 ‘They devour the flesh of my people, and their hide they strip from off them, and break in pieces and serve up their bones, like meat in a pot or the cooking pan!
吃我民的肉， 剝他們的皮， 打折他們的骨頭， 分成塊子像要下鍋， 又像釜中的肉。
4 ‘Then they will cry out to the Lord, but he will not pay attention to them. He will hide his face from them at that time because they have committed such crimes.’
到了遭災的時候， 這些人必哀求耶和華， 他卻不應允他們。 那時他必照他們所行的惡事向他們掩面。
5 Therefore the Lord says: ‘To the prophets who lead my people astray, who when they have food between their teeth declare peace, but against one who puts nothing in their mouths, they proclaim an open war!
論到使我民走差路的先知－ 他們牙齒有所嚼的， 他們就呼喊說：平安了！ 凡不供給他們吃的， 他們就預備攻擊他－ 耶和華如此說：
6 ‘Night will overtake you so that you have no vision, and darkness so that there will be no divination, and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
你們必遭遇黑夜，以致不見異象； 又必遭遇幽暗，以致不能占卜。 日頭必向你們沉落， 白晝變為黑暗。
7 ‘The seers will be ashamed, and the diviners will turn pale, all of them will cover their mouths. For there will be no answer from God.
先見必抱愧， 占卜的必蒙羞， 都必摀着嘴唇， 因為上帝不應允他們。
8 ‘But I, on the contrary am full of power, and the sense of justice and strength, to make known to Jacob his crime, and to Israel his sin.
至於我，我藉耶和華的靈， 滿有力量、公平、才能， 可以向雅各說明他的過犯， 向以色列指出他的罪惡。
9 ‘Hear this, leaders of the house of Jacob, judges of the house of Israel, you who spurn justice, and make all that is straight crooked,
雅各家的首領、以色列家的官長啊， 當聽我的話！ 你們厭惡公平， 在一切事上屈枉正直；
10 who build Zion with acts of bloodshed, and Jerusalem with crime.
以人血建立錫安， 以罪孽建造耶路撒冷。
11 ‘The leaders render judgment for a bribe, and her priests give oracles for a reward, and her prophets divine for silver. Yet they claim to rely on the Lord, “The Lord”, they say, “is in our midst. Evil cannot overtake us.”
首領為賄賂行審判； 祭司為雇價施訓誨； 先知為銀錢行占卜。 他們卻倚賴耶和華，說： 耶和華不是在我們中間嗎？ 災禍必不臨到我們。
12 ‘Therefore for your sakes Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, and the temple mount a wooded height.’
所以因你們的緣故， 錫安必被耕種像一塊田， 耶路撒冷必變為亂堆； 這殿的山必像叢林的高處。
