Micah 1
1 Yahweh’s word that came to Micah of Morasheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning 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, you peoples, all of you! Listen, O earth, and all that is therein. Let the Lord Yahweh be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
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, Yahweh comes out of his place, and will come down and tread on 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 The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.
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 this is for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn’t it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren’t they 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 like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its 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 All her idols will be beaten to pieces, all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and I will destroy all her images; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.”
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 For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the ostriches.
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 wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches 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 Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
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 Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won’t come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
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 For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Yahweh to the gate 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 Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
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 you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing 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 I will yet bring a conqueror to you, inhabitants of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
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 heads, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture, for they have 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。
