Micah 7
1 My woe [is] to me, for I have been As gatherings of summer-fruit, As gleanings of harvest, There is no cluster to eat, The first-ripe fruit desired hath my soul.
哀哉！我好像夏天的果子已被收盡， 又像摘了葡萄所剩下的， 沒有一掛可吃的； 我心羨慕初熟的無花果。
2 Perished hath the kind out of the land, And upright among men — there are none, All of them for blood lie in wait, Each his brother they hunt [with] a net.
地上虔誠人滅盡； 世間沒有正直人； 各人埋伏，要殺人流血， 都用網羅獵取弟兄。
3 On the evil [are] both hands to do [it] well, The prince is asking — also the judge — for recompence, And the great — he is speaking the mischief of his soul, And they wrap it up.
他們雙手作惡； 君王徇情面，審判官要賄賂； 位分大的吐出惡意， 都彼此結聯行惡。
4 Their best one [is] as a brier, The upright one — than a thorn-hedge, The day of thy watchmen — Thy visitation — hath come. Now is their perplexity.
他們最好的，不過是蒺藜； 最正直的，不過是荊棘籬笆。 你守望者說，降罰的日子已經來到。 他們必擾亂不安。
5 Believe not in a friend, trust not in a leader, From her who is lying in thy bosom keep the openings of thy mouth.
不要倚賴鄰舍； 不要信靠密友。 要守住你的口； 不要向你懷中的妻提說。
6 For a son is dishonouring a father, A daughter hath stood against her mother, A daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, The enemies of each [are] the men of his house.
因為，兒子藐視父親； 女兒抗拒母親； 媳婦抗拒婆婆； 人的仇敵就是自己家裏的人。
7 And I — in Jehovah I do watch, I do wait for the God of my salvation, Hear me doth my God.
至於我，我要仰望耶和華， 要等候那救我的上帝； 我的上帝必應允我。
8 Thou dost not rejoice over me, O mine enemy, When I have fallen, I have risen, When I sit in darkness Jehovah is a light to me.
我的仇敵啊，不要向我誇耀。 我雖跌倒，卻要起來； 我雖坐在黑暗裏， 耶和華卻作我的光。
9 The indignation of Jehovah I do bear, For I have sinned against Him, Till that He doth plead my cause, And hath executed my judgment, He doth bring me forth to the light, I look on His righteousness.
我要忍受耶和華的惱怒； 因我得罪了他， 直等他為我辨屈，為我伸冤。 他必領我到光明中； 我必得見他的公義。
10 And see doth mine enemy, And cover her doth shame, Who saith unto me, 'Where [is] Jehovah thy God?' Mine eyes do look on her, Now she is for a treading-place, As mire of the out-places.
那時我的仇敵， 就是曾對我說「耶和華－你上帝在哪裏」的， 他一看見這事就被羞愧遮蓋。 我必親眼見他遭報； 他必被踐踏，如同街上的泥土。
11 The day to build thy walls! That day — removed is the limit.
以色列啊，日子必到， 你的牆垣必重修； 到那日，你的境界必開展。
12 That day — even unto thee it doth come in, From Asshur and the cities of the fortress, And from the fortress even unto the river, And from sea to sea, and mount to mount.
當那日，人必從亞述， 從埃及的城邑， 從埃及到大河， 從這海到那海， 從這山到那山， 都歸到你這裏。
13 And the land hath been for a desolation, Because of its inhabitants, Because of the fruit of their doings.
然而，這地因居民的緣故， 又因他們行事的結果，必然荒涼。
14 Rule Thou Thy people with Thy rod, The flock of Thine inheritance, Dwelling alone [in] a forest in the midst of Carmel, They enjoy Bashan and Gilead as in days of old.
求耶和華在迦密山的樹林中， 用你的杖牧放你獨居的民， 就是你產業的羊群。 求你容他們在巴珊和基列得食物，像古時一樣。
15 According to the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, I do shew it wonderful things.
耶和華說： 我要把奇事顯給他們看， 好像出埃及地的時候一樣。
16 See do nations, and they are ashamed of all their might, They lay a hand on the mouth, their ears are deaf.
列國看見這事就必為自己的勢力慚愧； 他們必用手摀口，掩耳不聽。
17 They lick dust as a serpent, as fearful things of earth, They tremble from their enclosures, Of Jehovah our God they are afraid, Yea, they are afraid of Thee.
他們必舔土如蛇， 又如土中腹行的物， 戰戰兢兢地出他們的營寨。 他們必戰懼投降耶和華， 也必因我們的上帝而懼怕。
18 Who [is] a God like Thee? taking away iniquity, And passing by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance, He hath not retained for ever His anger, Because He — He delighteth [in] kindness.
上帝啊，有何神像你，赦免罪孽， 饒恕你產業之餘民的罪過， 不永遠懷怒，喜愛施恩？
19 He doth turn back, He pitieth us, He doth subdue our iniquities, And Thou castest into the depths of the sea all their sins.
必再憐憫我們， 將我們的罪孽踏在腳下， 又將我們的一切罪投於深海。
20 Thou givest truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, That thou hast sworn to our fathers, from the days of antiquity!
你必按古時起誓應許我們列祖的話， 向雅各發誠實， 向亞伯拉罕施慈愛。
