Micah 1
1 The Lord’s message which came to Micah of Morsheth in the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The visions he saw about 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 Listen, all you peoples! Pay attention, all you inhabitants of the earth! For the Lord God will be a witness against you, 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 The Lord is coming from his holy place, he descends and treads on the heights of the earth,
看哪，耶和华出了他的居所， 降临步行地的高处。
4 so that the mountains melt beneath like wax in the presence of the fire, and the valleys break apart like water poured down a steep descent.
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 All this is because of the crime of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What was the crime of Jacob? Was it not Samaria? What is the sin 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 ‘I will make Samaria a ruin in an open field, and a place where a vineyard is planted, I will hurl down her stones into the valley, and lay bare her foundations.
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 ‘All her images will be shattered, and all her statues will be burned with fire, and all her idols I will lay in ruins. For they were acquired by prostitution, and to prostitution they will 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 This is why I will mourn and wail, I will go barefoot and naked, I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the desert owl.
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 the blow that Samaria has received is incurable. It has spread over Judah, it extends even to the gate of my people, even 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 Don’t tell this in Gath! Don’t even cry – but sit in the dust at Beth-leaphrah.
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 by, inhabitants of Shaphir, naked and ashamed! The inhabitants of Zaanan cannot leave their city. Beth-ezel laments and removes its support from you.
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 The inhabitants of Maroth wait anxiously for good! But the Lord has sent disaster to the gates 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 Harness the horse to the chariot, inhabitants of Lachish. You led the daughter of Zion, Jerusalem, into sin, in you are found the crimes 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 you must give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath. Beth-achzib will betray 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 I will hand you to a conqueror, people of Mareshah, the leaders of Israel will hide in Adullam Cave!
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 Shave your head in morning for the children you love, until you are bald as vultures, because they have left you for exile.
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。
