Micah 6
1 Listen to what the Lord says: Rise, contend in judgment against the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
以色列人哪，當聽耶和華的話！ 要起來向山嶺爭辯， 使岡陵聽你的話。
2 Let the mountains listen to the judgment of the Lord, and the strong foundations of the earth. For the judgment of the Lord is with his people, and he will enter into judgment with Israel.
山嶺和地永久的根基啊， 要聽耶和華爭辯的話！ 因為耶和華要與他的百姓爭辯， 與以色列爭論。
3 My people, what have I done to you, or how have I assailed you? Respond to me.
我的百姓啊，我向你做了甚麼呢？ 我在甚麼事上使你厭煩？ 你可以對我證明。
4 For I led you out of the land of Egypt, and I freed you from the house of servitude, and I sent before your face Moses, and Aaron, and Miriam.
我曾將你從埃及地領出來， 從作奴僕之家救贖你； 我也差遣摩西、亞倫，和米利暗在你前面行。
5 My people, remember, I ask you, what Balak the king of Moab planned, and how Balaam the son of Beor responded to him, from Shittim even to Gilgal, so that you may know the justice of the Lord.
我的百姓啊，你們當追念摩押王巴勒所設的謀 和比珥的兒子巴蘭回答他的話， 並你們從什亭到吉甲所遇見的事， 好使你們知道耶和華公義的作為。
6 What worthy thing might I offer to the Lord, as I bend the knee before God on high? How could I offer holocausts to him, and one year-old calves?
我朝見耶和華， 在至高上帝面前跪拜，當獻上甚麼呢？ 豈可獻一歲的牛犢為燔祭嗎？
7 Would the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with many thousands of fat he-goats? How could I give up my firstborn because of my evil deed, the fruit of my womb because of the sin of my soul?
耶和華豈喜悅千千的公羊， 或是萬萬的油河嗎？ 我豈可為自己的罪過獻我的長子嗎？ 為心中的罪惡獻我身所生的嗎？
8 I will reveal to you, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requires from you, and how to act with judgment, and to love mercy, and to walk carefully with your God.
世人哪，耶和華已指示你何為善。 他向你所要的是甚麼呢？ 只要你行公義，好憐憫， 存謙卑的心，與你的上帝同行。
9 The voice of the Lord cries out to the city, “Listen, you tribes,” and who will confirm it? And salvation will be for those who fear your name.
耶和華向這城呼叫， 智慧人必敬畏他的名。 你們當聽是誰派定刑杖的懲罰。
10 Nevertheless, there is a fire in the house of the impious, the treasury of iniquity, and a small measure, filled with wrath.
惡人家中不仍有非義之財 和可惡的小升斗嗎？
11 Shall I justify unfaithful balances, and the deceitful weighing of a small bag?
我若用不公道的天平和囊中詭詐的法碼， 豈可算為清潔呢？
12 By this, her wealthy have been filled with iniquity, and her inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue was deceitful in their mouth.
城裏的富戶滿行強暴； 其中的居民也說謊言， 口中的舌頭是詭詐的。
13 And I, therefore, began to strike you with perdition because of your sins.
因此，我擊打你， 使你的傷痕甚重， 使你因你的罪惡荒涼。
14 You will consume and not be satisfied, and your humiliation will be in your midst. And you will take hold, and not save, and those whom you will save, I will deliver to the sword.
你要吃，卻吃不飽； 你的虛弱必顯在你中間。 你必挪去，卻不得救護； 所救護的，我必交給刀劍。
15 You will sow, and not reap. You will tread the olives, and not be anointed with oil, and crush the grapes, and not drink the wine.
你必撒種，卻不得收割； 踹橄欖，卻不得油抹身； 踹葡萄，卻不得酒喝。
16 For you have kept the precepts of Omri, and all the works of the house of Ahab. And you have walked according their wills, so that I should give you over to perdition and its hissing inhabitants, and you would carry the disgrace of my people.
因為你守暗利的惡規， 行亞哈家一切所行的， 順從他們的計謀； 因此，我必使你荒涼， 使你的居民令人嗤笑， 你們也必擔當我民的羞辱。
