Micah 2
1 Terrible things will happen to you who lie awake at night, planning to do wicked things. You get up at dawn, and you do those things, [as soon as] you are able to do them.
禍哉，那些在床上圖謀罪孽、造作奸惡的！ 天一發亮，因手有能力就行出來了。
2 You want fields [that belong to other people], so you seize them; you also take their houses. You cheat people to get their homes, taking away the property that belongs to their families.
他們貪圖田地就佔據， 貪圖房屋便奪取； 他們欺壓人，霸佔房屋和產業。
3 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: “I will cause you people to experience disasters, and you will not be able to escape [MTY] from them. You will no [longer] walk around proudly, because when those things happen, it will be a time of much trouble for you.
所以耶和華如此說： 我籌劃災禍降與這族； 這禍在你們的頸項上不能解脫； 你們也不能昂首而行， 因為這時勢是惡的。
4 At that time, [your enemies] will make fun of you; they will ridicule you by singing this sad song about you: ‘We are completely ruined; Yahweh is taking our land/fields from us, and he will give it to those who will capture us.’”
到那日，必有人向你們提起悲慘的哀歌， 譏刺說：我們全然敗落了！ 耶和華將我們的分轉歸別人， 何竟使這分離開我們？ 他將我們的田地分給悖逆的人。
5 So [when it is the time for the land to be given back to you] people who belong to Yahweh, there will be no one [MTY] who will be able to (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine which land belongs to whom.
所以在耶和華的會中， 你必沒有人拈鬮拉準繩。
6 The people [who heard me say that] replied to me, “Do not prophesy such things! Do not say that [Yahweh] is going to humiliate us [by causing us to experience disasters]!”
他們說：你們不可說預言； 不可向這些人說預言， 不住地羞辱我們。
7 But you people [MTY] of Israel should not [RHQ] talk like that! The Spirit of Yahweh will certainly not [RHQ] be patient [with people who say such things]! People who continually do things that are righteous will certainly [RHQ] like/appreciate what I say.
雅各家啊，豈可說耶和華的心不忍耐嗎？ 這些事是他所行的嗎？ 我－耶和華的言語豈不是與行動正直的人有益嗎？
8 [But Yahweh says], “[Recently] my people have been acting toward me like an enemy. When soldiers return from fighting [against their enemies], you [rich people refuse to return the coats of those poor soldiers who have borrowed money from you] [and given you their coats to guarantee that they will pay back the money that they borrowed from you]. [It is as though] you are waiting to forcefully take their coats off their backs!
然而，近來我的民興起如仇敵， 從那些安然經過不願打仗之人身上剝去外衣。
9 You have forced women to leave their nice homes, and you have stolen from their children forever the (blessings/good things) that I wanted to give them.
你們將我民中的婦人從安樂家中趕出， 又將我的榮耀從她們的小孩子盡行奪去。
10 [So] get up and leave [here]! This is not a place where you can rest [and be safe/protected], because you have (defiled it/caused it to be a place that I hate); it will be completely destroyed.
你們起來去吧！ 這不是你們安息之所； 因為污穢使人毀滅， 而且大大毀滅。
11 [You people want] a prophet who will lie to you, saying ‘I will preach [that you should drink] plenty of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks!’ That is the [kind of] prophet who [would please] you.”
若有人心存虛假，用謊言說： 我要向你們預言得清酒和濃酒。 那人就必作這民的先知。
12 “[But some day], you descendants of Jacob, you Israeli people who have survived, I will bring you back [from (exile/other countries)], I will gather you together like [SIM] [a shepherd gathers his] sheep from the pasture into a pen [DOU]; there will be many of you in your land/country.
雅各家啊，我必要聚集你們， 必要招聚以色列剩下的人， 安置在一處，如波斯拉的羊， 又如草場上的羊群； 因為人數眾多就必大大喧嘩。
13 Your leader will enable them to leave the countries where they have been exiled; he will lead them out of the gates [of their enemies’ cities], [back to your own country]. Your king will lead them; [it is I], Yahweh, who will be their king!”
開路的在他們前面上去； 他們直闖過城門，從城門出去。 他們的王在前面行； 耶和華引導他們。
