< Micah 2 >

1 Woe to! [those who] plan wickedness and [those who] do evil on beds their at [the] light the morning they do it for there [belongs] to [the] power of hand their.
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 desire fields and they seize [them] and houses and they take [them] and they oppress a man and household his and a man and inheritance his.
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 he says Yahweh here I [am] planning on the clan this calamity which not you will remove from there necks your and not you will walk haughtily for [will be] a time evil it.
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 the day that someone will lift up on you a saying and he will wail a wailing it is finished he will say utterly we are devastated [the] portion of people my he exchanges how! he removes [it] for me to an apostate fields our he apportions.
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 not he will belong to you [one who] casts a measuring-line by lot in [the] assembly of Yahweh.
因此,你們在上主的集會中,再沒有拉繩測量和抽籤的人。
6 May not you prophesy they prophesy! not they will prophesy of these [things] not it will be turned back ignomini[es].
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 ¿ [is it] said O house of Jacob ¿ is it short [the] spirit of Yahweh or? [are] these deeds his ¿ not words my do they do good with the upright [person] walking.
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 And yesterday people my to an enemy he raises up from in front of a garment a mantle you strip off! from [those who] pass by security [those who] return of 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] women of People my you drive out! from [the] house of delights her from with children her you take away glory my 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 and go for not this [is] resting place because it has become unclean it will destroy and [the] destruction [will be] grievous.
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 anyone walking of wind and falsehood he told a lie I will prophesy for you of wine and of strong drink and he will be [the] prophesier of the people this.
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 Surely I will gather O Jacob all of you surely I will assemble [the] remnant of Israel together I will make it like sheep a sheepfold like a flock in [the] midst of pasture its they will be distraught from humankind.
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 He will go up the [one who] breaks through before them they will break through and they have passed through [the] gate and they have gone out by it and he has passed on king their before them and Yahweh [will be] at head their.
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。
