Micah 3
1 And I say, 'Hear, I pray you, heads of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know the judgment?
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 Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones,
你們惡善好惡， 從人身上剝皮， 從人骨頭上剔肉，
3 And who have eaten the flesh of My people, And their skin from off them have stript, And their bones they have broken, And they have spread [them] out as in a pot, And as flesh in the midst of a caldron.
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 do they cry unto Jehovah, And He doth not answer them, And hideth His face from them at that time, As they have made evil their doings.
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 Thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets Who are causing My people to err, Who are biting with their teeth, And have cried 'Peace,' And he who doth not give unto their mouth, They have sanctified against him 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 Therefore a night ye have without vision, And darkness ye have without divination, And gone in hath the sun on the prophets, And black over them hath been the day.
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 And ashamed have been the seers, And confounded have been the diviners, And covered their lip have all of them, For their is no answer, O 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 And yet I have been full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, And of judgment, and of might, To declare to Jacob his transgression, 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, I pray you, heads of the house of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Who are making judgment abominable, And all uprightness do pervert.
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 Building up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity.
以人血建立錫安， 以罪孽建造耶路撒冷。
11 Her heads for a bribe do judge, And her priests for hire do teach, And her prophets for silver divine, And on Jehovah they lean, saying, 'Is not Jehovah in our midst? Evil doth not come in upon 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 sake, Zion is ploughed a field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mount of the house [is] for high places of a forest!
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。
