< Micah 1 >
1 A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Micah the Morashite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, that he hath seen concerning Samaria and Jerusalem:
当犹大王约坦、亚哈斯、希西家在位的时候,摩利沙人弥迦得耶和华的默示,论撒马利亚和耶路撒冷。
2 Hear, O peoples, all of them! Attend, O earth, and its fulness, And the Lord Jehovah is against you for a witness, The Lord from His holy temple.
万民哪,你们都要听! 地和其上所有的,也都要侧耳而听! 主耶和华从他的圣殿 要见证你们的不是。
3 For lo, Jehovah is going out from His place, And He hath come down, And hath trodden on high places of earth.
看哪,耶和华出了他的居所, 降临步行地的高处。
4 Melted have been the mountains under Him, And the valleys do rend themselves, As wax from the presence of fire, As waters cast down by a slope.
众山在他以下必消化, 诸谷必崩裂, 如蜡化在火中, 如水冲下山坡。
5 For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, And for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what the high places of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
这都因雅各的罪过, 以色列家的罪恶。 雅各的罪过在哪里呢? 岂不是在撒马利亚吗? 犹大的邱坛在哪里呢? 岂不是在耶路撒冷吗?
6 And I have set Samaria for a heap of the field, For plantations of a vineyard, And poured out into a valley her stones, And her foundations I uncover.
所以我必使撒马利亚变为田野的乱堆, 又作为种葡萄之处; 也必将她的石头倒在谷中, 露出根基来。
7 And all her graven images are beaten down, And all her gifts are burnt with fire, And all her idols I make a desolation, For, from the hire of a harlot she gathered, and unto the hire of a harlot they return.
她一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎; 她所得的财物必被火烧; 所有的偶像我必毁灭; 因为是从妓女雇价所聚来的, 后必归为妓女的雇价。
8 For this I lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an ostrich.
先知说:因此我必大声哀号, 赤脚露体而行; 又要呼号如野狗, 哀鸣如鸵鸟。
9 For mortal [are] her wounds, For it hath come unto Judah, It hath come to a gate of My people — to Jerusalem.
因为撒马利亚的伤痕无法医治, 延及犹大和耶路撒冷我民的城门。
10 In Gath tell ye not — in Acco weep not, In Beth-Aphrah, in dust roll thyself.
不要在迦特报告这事, 总不要哭泣; 我在伯·亚弗拉滚于灰尘之中。
11 Pass over for thee, O inhabitant of Shaphir, Naked one of shame. Not gone out hath the inhabitant of Zaanan, The lamentation of Beth-Ezel doth take from you its standing.
沙斐的居民哪,你们要赤身蒙羞过去。 撒南的居民不敢出来。 伯·以薛人的哀哭使你们无处可站。
12 For stayed for good hath the inhabitant of Maroth, For evil hath come down from Jehovah to the gate of Jerusalem.
玛律的居民心甚忧急,切望得好处, 因为灾祸从耶和华那里临到耶路撒冷的城门。
13 Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish, The beginning of sin [is] she to the daughter of Zion, For in thee have been found the transgressions of Israel.
拉吉的居民哪,要用快马套车; 锡安民的罪由你而起; 以色列人的罪过在你那里显出。
14 Therefore thou givest presents to Moresheth-Gath, The houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel.
犹大啊,你要将礼物送给摩利设·迦特。 亚革悉的众族必用诡诈待以色列诸王。
15 Yet the possessor I do bring in to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, To Adullam come in doth the honour of Israel.
玛利沙的居民哪, 我必使那夺取你的来到你这里; 以色列的尊贵人必到亚杜兰。
16 Make bald and shave, for thy delightful sons, Enlarge thy baldness as an eagle, For they have removed from thee!
犹大啊,要为你所喜爱的儿女剪除你的头发, 使头光秃,要大大地光秃,如同秃鹰, 因为他们都被掳去离开你。
