Micah 7
1 Sorrow is mine! for I am as when they have got in the summer fruits, like the last of the grapes: there is nothing for food, not even an early fig for my desire.
哀哉！我好像夏天的果子已被收尽， 又像摘了葡萄所剩下的， 没有一挂可吃的； 我心羡慕初熟的无花果。
2 The good man is gone from the earth, there is no one upright among men: they are all waiting secretly for blood, every man is going after his brother with a net.
地上虔诚人灭尽； 世间没有正直人； 各人埋伏，要杀人流血， 都用网罗猎取弟兄。
3 Their hands are made ready to do evil; the ruler makes requests for money, and the judge is looking for a reward; and the great man gives decisions at his pleasure, and the right is twisted.
他们双手作恶； 君王徇情面，审判官要贿赂； 位分大的吐出恶意， 都彼此结联行恶。
4 The best of them is like a waste plant, and their upright ones are like a wall of thorns. Sorrow! the day of their fate has come; now will trouble come on them.
他们最好的，不过是蒺藜； 最正直的，不过是荆棘篱笆。 你守望者说，降罚的日子已经来到。 他们必扰乱不安。
5 Put no faith in a friend, do not let your hope be placed in a relation: keep watch on the doors of your mouth against her who is resting on your breast.
不要倚赖邻舍； 不要信靠密友。 要守住你的口； 不要向你怀中的妻提说。
6 For the son puts shame on his father, the daughter goes against her mother and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's haters are those of his family.
因为，儿子藐视父亲； 女儿抗拒母亲； 媳妇抗拒婆婆； 人的仇敌就是自己家里的人。
7 But as for me, I am looking to the Lord; I am waiting for the God of my salvation: the ears of my God will be open to me.
至于我，我要仰望耶和华， 要等候那救我的 神； 我的 神必应允我。
8 Do not be glad because of my sorrow, O my hater: after my fall I will be lifted up; when I am seated in the dark, the Lord will be a light to me.
我的仇敌啊，不要向我夸耀。 我虽跌倒，却要起来； 我虽坐在黑暗里， 耶和华却作我的光。
9 I will undergo the wrath of the Lord, because of my sin against him; till he takes up my cause and does what is right for me: when he makes me come out into the light, I will see his righteousness;
我要忍受耶和华的恼怒； 因我得罪了他， 直等他为我辨屈，为我伸冤。 他必领我到光明中； 我必得见他的公义。
10 And my hater will see it and be covered with shame; she who said to me, Where is the Lord your God? my eyes will see their desire effected on her, now she will be crushed under foot like the dust of the streets.
那时我的仇敌， 就是曾对我说“耶和华—你 神在哪里”的， 他一看见这事就被羞愧遮盖。 我必亲眼见他遭报； 他必被践踏，如同街上的泥土。
11 A day for building your walls! in that day will your limits be stretched far and wide.
以色列啊，日子必到， 你的墙垣必重修； 到那日，你的境界必开展。
12 In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the towns of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
当那日，人必从亚述， 从埃及的城邑， 从埃及到大河， 从这海到那海， 从这山到那山， 都归到你这里。
13 But the land will become a waste because of its people, as the fruit of their works.
然而，这地因居民的缘故， 又因他们行事的结果，必然荒凉。
14 Keep your people safe with your rod, the flock of your heritage, living by themselves in the woods in the middle of Carmel: let them get their food in Bashan and Gilead as in the past.
求耶和华在迦密山的树林中， 用你的杖牧放你独居的民， 就是你产业的羊群。 求你容他们在巴珊和基列得食物，像古时一样。
15 As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, let us see things of wonder.
耶和华说： 我要把奇事显给他们看， 好像出埃及地的时候一样。
16 The nations will see and be shamed because of all their strength; they will put their hands on their mouths, their ears will be stopped.
列国看见这事就必为自己的势力惭愧； 他们必用手捂口，掩耳不听。
17 They will take dust as their food like a snake, like the things which go flat on the earth; they will come shaking with fear out of their secret places: they will come with fear to the Lord our God, full of fear because of you.
他们必舔土如蛇， 又如土中腹行的物， 战战兢兢地出他们的营寨。 他们必战惧投降耶和华， 也必因我们的 神而惧怕。
18 Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.
神啊，有何神像你，赦免罪孽， 饶恕你产业之余民的罪过， 不永远怀怒，喜爱施恩？
19 He will again have pity on us; he will put our sins under his feet: and you will send all our sins down into the heart of the sea.
必再怜悯我们， 将我们的罪孽踏在脚下， 又将我们的一切罪投于深海。
20 You will make clear your good faith to Jacob and your mercy to Abraham, as you gave your oath to our fathers from times long past.
你必按古时起誓应许我们列祖的话， 向雅各发诚实， 向亚伯拉罕施慈爱。
