Micah 2
1 Wo to you, that thenken vnprofitable thing, and worchen yuele in youre beddis; in the morewtid liyt thei don it, for the hond of hem is ayenus God.
禍哉，那些在床上籌劃不義，圖謀行惡的人! 因為你們手中有能力，一到天亮，就去實行。
2 Thei coueitiden feeldis, and tooken violentli; and rauyschiden housis, and falsli calengiden a man and his hous, a man and his eritage.
他們想要田地，便去霸佔；朼想要房屋，便去奪取：以暴力對付業主和他的家族，物主和他的產業。
3 Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y thenke on this meynee yuel, fro which ye schulen not take awei youre neckis; and ye schulen not walke proude, for the worste tyme is.
為此上主這樣說：「看，我正在為這一家籌劃災禍，致令你們不能縮回你們的頭頸，也不能挺身前行，因為那是一個災禍的時刻。」
4 In that dai a parable schal be takun on you, and a song schal be songun with swetnesse of men, seiynge, Bi robbyng we ben distried; a part of my puple is chaungid; hou schal he go awei fro me, whanne he turneth ayen that schal departe youre cuntreis?
在那一日，人要作詩諷刺你們，唱這悲慘的哀哥說：「我們完全被搶掠了，我人民的基業已被人瓜分了，再無人歸還；我們的土地已分配給搶掠我們的人! 」
5 For this thing `noon schal be to thee sendynge a litil corde of sort in cumpeny of the Lord.
因此，你們在上主的集會中，再沒有拉繩測量和抽籤的人。
6 A! thou Israel, speke ye not spekyng; it schal not droppe on these men, confusioun schal not catche,
你們講說：「你們不要說預言。」「人不該預言這樣的事，恥辱決不會來到我們身上!
7 seith the hous of Jacob. Whether the Spirit of the Lord is abreggid, either siche ben the thouytis of hym? Whether my wordis ben not gode, with hym that goith riytli?
雅各伯的家豈是可詛咒的﹖上主的氣量豈能變為狹小﹖難道這是衪的作風﹖衪的話豈不是有益於以色列子民﹖」
8 And ayenward my puple roos togidere in to an aduersarie; ye token awei the mantil aboue the coote, and ye turneden in to batel hem that wenten sympli.
「但是你們正像敵人一樣，起來攻擊我的人民，因為你們向沒有短衣的人索取長袍，向平安走路的人索取戰利品。
9 Ye castiden the wymmen of my puple out of the hous of her delices; fro the litle children of hem ye token awei myn heriyng with outen ende.
你們驅逐我人民的婦女離開她們的快樂家庭，從她們的嬰兒身上，永遠奪去我的光榮。
10 Rise ye, and go, for here ye han not reste; for the vnclennesse therof it schal be corrupt with the worst rot.
你們起來走吧! 因為這不是你們安息之所。為了不懂，這地必要遭受不可挽救的毀滅。」
11 Y wolde that Y were not a man hauynge spirit, and rathere Y spak a leesyng. Y schal droppe to thee in to wyn, and in to drunkenesse; and this puple schal be, on whom it is droppid.
假若有人隨從虛妄而撒謊說：「我要對你預言清酒和醇酒。」這人必可作這民族的先知。
12 With gaderyng Y schal gadere Jacob; Y schal lede togidere thee al in to oon, the relifs of Israel. Y schal put hym togidere, as a floc in folde; as scheep in the myddil of fooldis thei schulen make noise, of multitude of men.
我必要聚集雅各伯全民眾，我必要集合以色列的遺民，使他們合併在一處，有如羊欄裏的綿羊，有如牧場上的羊群，不再怕任何人。
13 For he schal stie schewynge weie bifore hem; thei schulen departe, and passe the yate, and schulen go out therbi; and the kyng of hem schal passe bifore hem, and the Lord in the heed of hem.
開路者走在他們前面開道；他走在前面，眾人隨他穿門而過；他們的君王走在他們們前面，上主親作他們的響導。
