Micah 6
1 Here ye whiche thingis the Lord spekith. Rise thou, stryue thou bi doom ayens mounteyns, and litle hillis here thi vois.
惟願你們傾聽上主所說的話：「起來，在諸山面前進行訴訟，使丘陵能聽見你的聲音! 」
2 Mounteyns, and the stronge foundementis of erthe, here the doom of the Lord; for the doom of the Lord with his puple, and he schal be demyd with Israel.
諸山，請聽上主的申訴；大地的基礎，側耳傾聽吧! 因為上主與衪的人民有所爭訟，與以色列有所爭辯：
3 Mi puple, what haue Y don to thee, ether what was Y greuouse to thee? Answere thou to me.
「我的人民! 我對你做了什麼﹖我在什麼事上叫你討厭﹖請你答覆我!
4 For Y ledde thee out of the lond of Egipt, and of the hous of seruage Y delyuerede thee; and Y sente bifore thi face Moises, and Aaron, and Marye.
難道如果我由埃及地領了你上來，從奴隸之家贖了你回來，在你面前委派了梅瑟、亞郎和米黎盎﹖
5 My puple, bithenke, Y preie, what Balaac, kyng of Moab, thouyte, and what Balaam, sone of Beor, of Sethym, answeride to hym til to Galgala, that thou schuldist knowe the riytwisnesse of the Lord.
我的人民，請你記憶摩阿布王巴拉圖圖謀過什麼事，貝敖爾的兒子巴郎答應了他什麼；再記憶從史廷到基耳加耳發生過什麼事，好使你明瞭上主的仁慈作為。」
6 What worthi thing schal Y offre to the Lord? schal Y bowe the knee to the hiye God? Whether Y schal offre to hym brent sacrifices, and calues of o yeer?
我要到上主那裏，叩拜至高者天主，應進獻什麼，應進獻全燔祭，還是應進獻一歲的牛犢﹖
7 Whether God mai be paid in thousyndis of wetheris, ether in many thousyndis of fatte geet buckis? Whether Y schal yyue my firste bigetun for my greet trespas, the fruyt of my wombe for synne of my soule?
上主豈喜悅萬千的公羊，或萬道河流的油﹖為了我的過犯，我應否獻上我的長子﹖為了我靈魂的罪惡，我應否獻上我親生的兒子﹖」
8 Y schal schewe to thee, thou man, what is good, and what the Lord axith of thee; forsothe for to do doom, and for to loue merci, and be bisi for to walke with thi God.
人啊! 已通知了你，什麼是善，上主要求於你的是什麼：無非就是履行正義，愛好慈善，虛心與你的天主來往。
9 The vois of the Lord crieth to the citee, and heelthe schal be to alle men dredynge thi name. Ye lynagis, here; and who schal approue it?
聽! 上主向城邑的呼聲：我必拯救敬畏我名的人。支派和城市的會眾，靜聽：
10 Yit fier is in the hous of the vnpitouse man, the tresouris of wickidnesse, and a lesse mesure ful of wraththe.
我豈能忘掉惡人家中的不義之財，和那可詛咒的小「厄法」﹖
11 Whether Y schal iustifie the wickid balaunce, and the gileful weiytis of litil sak,
我豈能把用欺騙的天秤和囊中有假法碼的人視為清廉﹖
12 in whiche riche men therof ben fillid with wickidnesse? And men dwellynge ther ynne spaken leesyng, and the tunge of hem was gileful in the mouth of hem.
城中的富人充滿了強暴，其中的居民好說謊話，滿口欺詐；
13 And Y therfor bigan for to smyte thee, in perdicioun on thi synnes.
因此，我才開始打擊你，為了你的罪惡使你荒涼。
14 Thou schalt ete, and schalt not be fillid, and thi mekyng is in the middil of thee; and thou schalt take, and schalt not saue; and which thou schalt saue, Y schal yyue in to swerd.
你要吃，卻吃不飽，腹中常感到空虛；你縱然能把寶藏搬走，卻不能保全；既使你能保全，我也必要付之刀劍。
15 Thou schalt sowe, and schal not repe; thou schalt trede the `frut of oliue, and schalt not be anoyntid with oile; and must, and schalt not drynke wyn.
你要播種，卻得不到收穫；你要榨橄欖油，卻得不到油抹身；你要榨葡萄酒，卻得不到酒喝。
16 And thou keptist the heestis of Amry, and al the werk of the hous of Acab, and hast walkid in the lustis of hem, that Y schulde yyue thee in to perdicioun, and men dwellynge in it in to scornyng, and ye schulen bere the schenschipe of my puple.
因為你遵守了敖默黎的法令，保存了阿哈布家的一切作風，遵循行了他們的主張；因此，我必要仗你荒涼，使你們你的居民成為笑柄；你必要承擔異民的侮辱。
