Micah

以色列人哪，當聽耶和華的話！要起來向山嶺爭辯，使岡陵聽你的話。

Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. {before: or, with}

山嶺和地永久的根基啊，要聽耶和華爭辯的話！因為耶和華要與他的百姓爭辯，與以色列爭論。

Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.

我的百姓啊，我向你做了甚麼呢？我在甚麼事上使你厭煩？你可以對我證明。

O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.

我曾將你從埃及地領出來，從作奴僕之家救贖你；我也差遣摩西、亞倫，和米利暗在你前面行。

For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

我的百姓啊，你們當追念摩押王巴勒所設的謀和比珥的兒子巴蘭回答他的話，並你們從什亭到吉甲所遇見的事，好使你們知道耶和華公義的作為。

O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.

我朝見耶和華，在至高神面前跪拜，當獻上甚麼呢？豈可獻一歲的牛犢為燔祭麼？

Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, {and} bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? {of a...: Heb. sons of a year?}

耶和華豈喜悅千千的公羊，或是萬萬的油河麼？我豈可為自己的罪過獻我的長子麼？為心中的罪惡獻我身所生的麼？

Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, {or} with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn {for} my transgression, the fruit of my body {for} the sin of my soul? {body: Heb. belly}

世人哪，耶和華已指示你何為善。他向你所要的是甚麼呢？只要你行公義，好憐憫，存謙卑的心，與你的神同行。

He hath shewed thee, O man, what {is} good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? {walk...: Heb. humble thyself to walk}

耶和華向這城呼叫，智慧人必敬畏他的名。你們當聽是誰派定刑杖的懲罰。

The LORD'S voice crieth unto the city, and {the man of} wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. {the man...: or, thy name shall see that which is}

惡人家中不仍有非義之財和可惡的小升斗麼？

Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure {that is} abominable? {Are...: or, Is there yet unto every man an house of the, etc} {scant...: Heb. measure of leanness}

我若用不公道的天平和囊中詭詐的法碼，豈可算為清潔呢？

Shall I count {them} pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? {count...: or, be pure with, etc}

城裡的富戶滿行強暴；其中的居民也說謊言，口中的舌頭是詭詐的。

For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue {is} deceitful in their mouth.

因此，我擊打你，使你的傷痕甚重，使你因你的罪惡荒涼。

Therefore also will I make {thee} sick in smiting thee, in making {thee} desolate because of thy sins.

你要吃，卻吃不飽；你的虛弱必顯在你中間。你必挪去，卻不得救護；所救護的，我必交給刀劍。

Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down {shall be} in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and {that} which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

你必撒種，卻不得收割；踹橄欖，卻不得油抹身；踹葡萄，卻不得酒喝。

Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.

因為你守暗利的惡規，行亞哈家一切所行的，順從他們的計謀；因此，我必使你荒涼，使你的居民令人嗤笑，你們也必擔當我民的羞辱。

For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people. {For the...: or, For he doth much keep the, etc} {desolation: or, astonishment}
