彌迦書

第6章

1 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。

2 山嶺和地堅固[strong]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。

3 我的百姓啊,我向你作了甚麼呢?我在甚麼事上使你厭煩?你可以對我證明。

4 我曾將你從埃及地領出來,從作僕人[servants]之家救贖你;我也差遣摩西、亞倫,和米利暗在你前面行。

5 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。

6 我朝見耶和華,在高處的[high]神面前跪拜,當獻上甚麼呢?豈可獻一歲的牛犢為燔祭嗎?

7 耶和華豈喜悅千計[thousands]公綿羊[rams],或是萬計[ten thousands]的油河嗎?我豈可為自己的罪過獻我的長子嗎?為心中的罪惡獻我身所生的嗎?

8 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。

9 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。

10 惡人家中不仍有罪惡[wickedness]之財和可惡的小升斗嗎?

11 惡人[them]若用不公道的天平和[bag]中詭詐的法碼,[I]豈可算他們[them]純潔[pure]呢?

12 城裏的富戶滿行強暴;其中的居民也說謊言,口中的舌頭是詭詐的。

13 因此,我擊打你,使你患病[sick],使你因你的罪惡荒涼。

14 你要吃,卻吃不飽;你的潦倒[casting down]必顯在你中間。你必被抓去[take hold],卻不得救出[deliver];所救出[deliverest]的,我必交給刀劍。

15 你必撒種,卻不得收割;踹橄欖,卻不得油抹身;釀甜酒[sweet wine],卻不得酒喝。

16 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。

Micah

Chapter 6

1 HEAR now what the LORD says: Arise and judge upon the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

2 Hear, O you mountains, the judgment of the LORD, listen, O you deep foundations of the earth; for the LORD will contend with his people, and he will judge Israel;

3 O my people, what have I done to you? Or in what have I grieved you? Testify against me.

4 Have not I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and delivered you from the house of bondage? And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam?

5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab purposed against you, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal; for he knew the righteousness of the LORD.

6 With what shall I come before the LORD, and how shall I be pleasing before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, or with calves of a year old?

7 The LORD will not be pleased with thousands of rams, nor with ten thousands of heifers; if I should offer my first-born, it is an iniquity to myself, and the fruit of my body, it is a sin against my soul.

8 He has showed you, O man, what is good and what the LORD requires of you, that you shall do justice and love mercy and be ready to walk after the LORD your God.

9 The voice of the LORD cries upon the city, preaching doctrine to those who revere his name; hear, O tribe, him who testifies against you.

10 For there is still fire in the house of the wicked and in the storehouses of iniquity and in the short measure of deceit.

11 How can they justify themselves with the wicked scales and with the bag of deceitful weights?

12 For the rich men of the land are full of deceit, and its inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is treacherous in their mouth.

13 Therefore I will begin to smite you, and will make you desolate because of your sins.

14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and dysentery shall be in the midst of you; and you shall thresh wheat, but shall not keep it, and that which you retain, I will give up to the sword.

15 You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but you shall not anoint yourselves with oil; you shall tread grapes but you shall not drink wine.

16 For you have kept the statutes of Omri and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you have walked in their counsels; therefore I have made the land a desolation, and its inhabitants a hissing; thus you shall bear the reproach of my people.
