弥迦书 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
以色列和猶大犯罪受罰
1 在猶大王約坦、亞哈斯、希西家執政的時候,耶和華的話臨到摩利沙人彌迦,是他看到關於撒瑪利亞和耶路撒冷的話。
2 萬民哪!你們都要聽;
地和地上所遍滿的,你們要聆聽;
主耶和華要指證你們的不是,
主必從他的聖殿指證你們的不是。
3 看哪!耶和華離開自己的地方,
他降下來,踏在地的高處。
4 群山在他腳下融化,
眾谷裂開,
如蠟在火前一般,
像水沖下斜坡一般,
5 這都是因為雅各的過犯,
以色列家的罪惡。
雅各的過犯是甚麼呢?
不就是撒瑪利亞嗎?
猶大家的罪惡是甚麼呢?
不就是耶路撒冷嗎?
撒瑪利亞的刑罰
6 所以我必使撒瑪利亞變成田間的廢堆,
作栽種葡萄之處;
我必把撒瑪利亞的石頭倒在谷中,
連它的根基都露出來。
7 它一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎;
它全部的錢財,都要用火燒盡;
它所有的偶像,我都要毀滅;
因為從妓女錢財榨取的,
最後也必歸為妓女的錢財。
猶大的刑罰
8 為此我要痛哭哀號,
赤膊光腳而行;
又要哀號如豺狼,
悲鳴像鴕鳥。
9 因為撒瑪利亞的創傷無法醫治,
並且殃及猶大,
直逼我子民的城門,
就是耶路撒冷。
10 不要在迦特報信,
不要在巴歌哭泣;
卻要在伯.亞弗拉打滾於塵土中。
11 沙斐的居民哪!你們赤身羞愧走過去吧。
撒南的居民不敢出來(“不敢出來”或譯:“也逃不掉。”);
伯.以薛人的哀號,要把你們立足之地奪去。
12 瑪律的居民,
急待得著幸福,
因有災禍從耶和華那裡降下,
臨到耶路撒冷的城門。
13 拉吉的居民哪!
要用快馬套車,
這就是錫安子民(“子民”原文作“女子”)罪惡的開端;
因為以色列的過犯,
都在你那裡找到了。
14 因此要把妝奩,
送給摩利設.迦特;
亞革悉的各家,
必用詭詐對待以色列的眾王。
15 瑪利沙的居民哪!
我要再使那征服你的來到你那裡;
以色列的榮耀,必去到亞杜蘭。
16 猶大啊!為你所喜愛的兒女,
你要剃頭,使你的頭光禿,
完全光禿如同禿鷹;
因為他們都從你那裡被擄去了。
Micah 1
New International Version
1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah of Moresheth(A) during the reigns of Jotham,(B) Ahaz(C) and Hezekiah,(D) kings of Judah(E)—the vision(F) he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Hear,(G) you peoples, all of you,(H)
listen, earth(I) and all who live in it,
that the Sovereign Lord may bear witness(J) against you,
the Lord from his holy temple.(K)
Judgment Against Samaria and Jerusalem
3 Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling(L) place;
he comes down(M) and treads on the heights of the earth.(N)
4 The mountains melt(O) beneath him(P)
and the valleys split apart,(Q)
like wax before the fire,
like water rushing down a slope.
5 All this is because of Jacob’s transgression,
because of the sins of the people of Israel.
What is Jacob’s transgression?
Is it not Samaria?(R)
What is Judah’s high place?
Is it not Jerusalem?
6 “Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,
a place for planting vineyards.(S)
I will pour her stones(T) into the valley
and lay bare her foundations.(U)
7 All her idols(V) will be broken to pieces;(W)
all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
I will destroy all her images.(X)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,(Y)
as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”
Weeping and Mourning
8 Because of this I will weep(Z) and wail;
I will go about barefoot(AA) and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
and moan like an owl.
9 For Samaria’s plague(AB) is incurable;(AC)
it has spread to Judah.(AD)
It has reached the very gate(AE) of my people,
even to Jerusalem itself.
10 Tell it not in Gath[a];
weep not at all.
In Beth Ophrah[b]
roll in the dust.
11 Pass by naked(AF) and in shame,
you who live in Shaphir.[c]
Those who live in Zaanan[d]
will not come out.
Beth Ezel is in mourning;
it no longer protects you.
12 Those who live in Maroth[e] writhe in pain,
waiting for relief,(AG)
because disaster(AH) has come from the Lord,
even to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 You who live in Lachish,(AI)
harness fast horses to the chariot.
You are where the sin of Daughter Zion(AJ) began,
for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Therefore you will give parting gifts(AK)
to Moresheth(AL) Gath.
The town of Akzib[f](AM) will prove deceptive(AN)
to the kings of Israel.
15 I will bring a conqueror against you
who live in Mareshah.[g](AO)
The nobles of Israel
will flee to Adullam.(AP)
16 Shave(AQ) your head in mourning
for the children in whom you delight;
make yourself as bald as the vulture,
for they will go from you into exile.(AR)
