Micah |
| 1禍哉，那些在床上籌劃不義，圖謀行惡的人！因為他們手中有能力，一到天亮，就去實行。 |
1Woe to those who plan iniquity, and work out evil on their couches; In the morning light they accomplish it when it lies within their power. |
| 2他們想要田地，便去霸佔；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。 |
2 They covet fields, and seize them; houses, and they take them; They cheat an owner of his house, a man of his inheritance. |
| 3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頸項，也不能挺身前行，因為那是一個災禍的時刻。」 |
3Therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I am planning against this race an evil from which you shall not withdraw your necks; Nor shall you walk with head high, for it will be a time of evil. |
| 4在那一日，人要作詩諷刺你們，唱這悲慘的哀歌說：「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！」 |
4On that day a satire shall be sung over you, and there shall be a plaintive chant: "Our ruin is complete, our fields are portioned out among our captors, The fields of my people are measured out, and no one can get them back!" |
| 5因此，你們在上主的集會中，再沒有拉繩測量和抽籤的人。 |
5 Thus you shall have no one to mark out boundaries by lot in the assembly of the LORD. |
| 6他們講說：「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！ |
6 "Preach not," they preach, "let them not preach of these things!" The shame will not withdraw. |
| 7雅各伯的家豈是可詛咒的？上主的氣量豈能變為狹小？難道這是他的作風？他的話豈不是有益於以色列子民？」 |
7How can it be said, O house of Jacob, "Is the LORD short of patience, or are such his deeds?" Do not my words promise good to him who walks uprightly? |
| 8「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求長袍，向平安走路的人索取戰利品。 |
8But of late my people has risen up as an enemy: you have stripped off the mantle covering the tunic Of those who go their way in confidence, as though it were spoils of war. |
| 9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。 |
9 The women of my people you drive out from their pleasant houses; From their children you take away forever the honor I gave them. |
| 10你們起來走罷！因為這不是你們安息之所。為了不潔，這地必要遭受不可挽救的毀滅。」 |
10 "Up! Be off, this is no place to rest"; For any trifle you exact a crippling pledge. |
| 11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。 |
11If one, acting on impulse, should make the futile claim: "I pour you wine and strong drink as my prophecy," then he would be the prophet of this people. |
| 12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。 |
12 I will gather you, O Jacob, each and every one, I will assemble all the remnant of Israel; I will group them like a flock in the fold, like a herd in the midst of its corral; they shall not be thrown into panic by men. |
| 13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前面，上主親作他們的嚮導。 |
13With a leader to break the path they shall burst open the gate and go out through it; Their king shall go through before them, and the LORD at their head. |
