Micah 5
1 Meanwhile, shalt thou gather together in troops, thou daughter of a troop, siege, hath he laid against us, —with a sceptre, will they smite on the cheek, the judge of Israel!
被圍困的女子，現在妳要抓傷身，他們己圍困住我們，用棍杖搫打以色列民長的面頰。
2 Thou, therefore, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though, little, to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee, shall Mine come forth, to be ruler in Israel, —whose comings forth, have been from of old, from the days of age-past time.
厄弗辣大白冷! 你在猶大群邑中雖是最小的，但是將由你從我生出一位統治以色列的人，他的來歷源自亙古，遠自永遠的時代。
3 Therefore, will he give them up, until the time when, one who is to bring forth, hath brought forth, —and, the remainder of his brethren, return unto the sons of Israel.
因此，上主必將遺棄他們，直到孕婦生產之時，那時他 弟兄中的遺民必將歸來，與以色列子民團聚。
4 Then shall he stand, and tend his flock in the strength of Yahweh, In the excellency of the name of Yahweh his God, have they endured, —For, now, shall he be great unto the ends of the earth;
他必卓然屹立，以上主的能力及上主他們的天主之名的權威，牧放自己的羊群。他們將獲得安居，因為他必大有權勢，直達地極。
5 So shall this one be Prosperity. As for Assyria—when he shall enter our land, and when he shall tread down in our palaces, then will we raise up against him, seven shepherds, and eight princes of mankind.
他本人將是和平! 當亞述人侵入我們地域，蹂躪我們領土時，必有七個牧者，八個人民首領奮起對抗。
6 Then shall they shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof, —So shall he deliver from Assyria, when he shall enter our land, and when he shall tread down within our bounds.
他們必用刀統治亞述，用劍管轄默洛得地。當亞述侵入我們地域，蹂躪我們的境域時，他必救援我們。
7 And, the remnant of Jacob, shall be, in the midst of many peoples, as dew from Yahweh, as myriad drops on plants, —which tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of Adam.
那時，雅各伯的遺民，在許多民族中，必如由上主而來的朝露，必如落在青草上的甘霖，不再期待於人，也不寄望於人子。
8 And, the remnant of Jacob, shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the jungle, as a young lion among flocks of sheep, —who, if he passeth by, both treadeth down—and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
那時，雅各伯的遺民，在異民中，在許多民族中，必如獅子在森林百獸中，必如幼童在羊群中，所經之處，必加以蹂躪摧殘，無人能夠搶救。
9 Let thy hand be uplifted against thine adversaries, —and, all thine enemies, shall be cut off.
你的手臂將高舉在你敵人之上，你的一切仇敵必要滅絕。
10 And it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth Yahweh, That I will cut off thy horses out of thy midst, —and will destroy thy chariots;
到那一日──上主的斷語──我必由你中間毀滅你的戰馬，破壞你的車輛，
11 And will cut off the cities of thy land, —and will pull down all thy fortresses;
毀壞你境內的城市，傾覆你的一切堡壘，
12 And will cut off incantations, out of thy hand, —and, users of hidden arts, shalt thou not have;
滅絕你手中的巫術，使你不再有人占卜；
13 And I will cut off thine images and thy pillars out of thy midst, —and thou shalt not bow thyself down, any more, to the work of thine own hands;
我必由你們中間消滅你的彫像和石柱，使你不再膜拜你手製的作品；
14 And I will uproot thy Sacred Stems out of thy midst, —and will destroy thy cities:
我必由你們中間根除你的神柱，毀壞你的神像；
15 Then will I execute, with anger and with indignation, vengeance upon the nations, —of which they have not heard.
對那不順服的異民，我必在憤怒激憤之下施以報復。
