Michaeas 1
1 And the word of the Lord came to Michaeas the son of Morasthi, in the days of Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, concerning what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem.
當猶大王約坦、亞哈斯、希西家在位的時候，摩利沙人彌迦得耶和華的默示，論撒馬利亞和耶路撒冷。
2 Hear [these] words, you people; and let the earth give heed, and all that are in it: and the Lord God shall be amongst you for a testimony, the Lord out of his holy habitation.
萬民哪，你們都要聽！ 地和其上所有的，也都要側耳而聽！ 主耶和華從他的聖殿 要見證你們的不是。
3 For, behold, the Lord comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and will go upon the high places of the earth.
看哪，耶和華出了他的居所， 降臨步行地的高處。
4 And the mountains shall be shaken under him, and the valleys shall melt like wax before the fire, and as water rushing down a declivity.
眾山在他以下必消化， 諸谷必崩裂， 如蠟化在火中， 如水沖下山坡。
5 All these [calamities are] for the transgression of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what is the sin of the house of Juda? [is it] not Jerusalem?
這都因雅各的罪過， 以色列家的罪惡。 雅各的罪過在哪裏呢？ 豈不是在撒馬利亞嗎？ 猶大的邱壇在哪裏呢？ 豈不是在耶路撒冷嗎？
6 Therefore I will make Samaria [as] a store-house of the fruits of the field, and [as] a planting of a vineyard: and I will utterly demolish her stones, and I will expose her foundations.
所以我必使撒馬利亞變為田野的亂堆， 又作為種葡萄之處； 也必將她的石頭倒在谷中， 露出根基來。
7 And they shall cut in pieces all the graven images, and all that she has hired they shall burn with fire, and I will utterly destroy all her idols: because she has gathered of the hires of fornication, and of the hires of fornication has she amassed [wealth].
她一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎； 她所得的財物必被火燒； 所有的偶像我必毀滅； 因為是從妓女雇價所聚來的， 後必歸為妓女的雇價。
8 Therefore shall she lament and wail, she shall go barefooted, and [being] naked she shall make lamentation as [that] of serpents, and mourning as of the daughters of sirens.
先知說：因此我必大聲哀號， 赤腳露體而行； 又要呼號如野狗， 哀鳴如鴕鳥。
9 For her plague has become grievous; for it has come even to Juda; and has reached to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
因為撒馬利亞的傷痕無法醫治， 延及猶大和耶路撒冷我民的城門。
10 You that are in Geth, exalt not yourselves, and you Enakim, do not rebuild from [the ruins of] the house in derision: sprinkle dust [in the place of] your laughter.
不要在迦特報告這事， 總不要哭泣； 我在伯‧亞弗拉滾於灰塵之中。
11 The inhabitant of Sennaar, fairly inhabiting her cities, came not forth to mourn for the house next to her: she shall receive of you the stroke of grief.
沙斐的居民哪，你們要赤身蒙羞過去。 撒南的居民不敢出來。 伯‧以薛人的哀哭使你們無處可站。
12 Who has begun [to act] for good to her that dwells in sorrow? for calamities have come down from the Lord upon the gates of Jerusalem,
瑪律的居民心甚憂急，切望得好處， 因為災禍從耶和華那裏臨到耶路撒冷的城門。
13 [even] a sound of chariots and horsemen: the inhabitants of Lachis, she is the leader of sin to the daughter of Sion: for in you were found the transgressions of Israel.
拉吉的居民哪，要用快馬套車； 錫安民的罪由你而起； 以色列人的罪過在你那裏顯出。
14 Therefore shall he cause men to be sent forth as far as the inheritance of Geth, [even] vain houses; they are become vanity to the kings of Israel;
猶大啊，你要將禮物送給摩利設‧迦特。 亞革悉的眾族必用詭詐待以色列諸王。
15 until they bring the heirs, O inhabitant of Lachis: the inheritance shall reach to Odollam, [even] the glory of the daughter of Israel.
瑪利沙的居民哪， 我必使那奪取你的來到你這裏； 以色列的尊貴人必到亞杜蘭。
16 Shave your hair, and make yourself bald for your delicate children; increase your widowhood as an eagle; for [your people] are gone into captivity from you.
猶大啊，要為你所喜愛的兒女剪除你的頭髮， 使頭光禿，要大大地光禿，如同禿鷹， 因為他們都被擄去離開你。
