耶和華降臨審判

¹當猶大王約坦、亞哈斯、希西家在位的時候，摩利沙人彌迦得耶和華的默示，論撒馬利亞和耶路撒冷。This is the word of the LORD that came to Micah the Moreshite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem:

²萬民哪，你們都要聽！地和其上所有的，也都要側耳而聽！主耶和華從他的聖殿要見證你們的不是。Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth, and everyone in it! May the Lord GOD bear witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.

³看哪，耶和華出了他的居所，降臨步行地的高處。For behold, the LORD comes forth from His dwelling place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.

⁴眾山在他以下必消化，諸谷必崩裂，如蠟化在火中，如水沖下山坡。The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.

⁵這都因雅各的罪過，以色列家的罪惡。雅各的罪過在哪裡呢？豈不是在撒馬利亞嗎？猶大的邱壇在哪裡呢？豈不是在耶路撒冷嗎？All this is for the transgression of Jacob and the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?

⁶所以我必使撒馬利亞變為田野的亂堆，又作為種葡萄之處；也必將她的石頭倒在谷中，露出根基來。Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble in the open field, a planting area for a vineyard. I will pour her stones into the valley and expose her foundations.

⁷她一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎；她所得的財物必被火燒；所有的偶像我必毀滅；因為是從妓女雇價所聚來的，後必歸為妓女的雇價。All her carved images will be smashed to pieces; all her wages will be burned in the fire, and I will destroy all her idols. Since she collected the wages of a prostitute, they will be used again on a prostitute.

⁸先知說：因此我必大聲哀號，赤腳露體而行；又要呼號如野狗，哀鳴如鴕鳥。Because of this I will lament and wail; I will walk barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and mourn like an ostrich.

⁹因為撒馬利亞的傷痕無法醫治，延及猶大和耶路撒冷我民的城門。For her wound is incurable; it has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem itself.

猶大眾城的哀歌

¹⁰不要在迦特報告這事，總不要哭泣；我在伯‧亞弗拉滾於灰塵之中。Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.

¹¹沙斐的居民哪，你們要赤身蒙羞過去。撒南的居民不敢出來。伯‧以薛人的哀哭使你們無處可站。Depart in shameful nakedness, O dwellers of Shaphir. The dwellers of Zaanan will not come out. Beth-ezel is in mourning; its support is taken from you.

¹²瑪律的居民心甚憂急，切望得好處，因為災禍從耶和華那裡臨到耶路撒冷的城門。For the dwellers of Maroth pined for good, but calamity came down from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem.

¹³拉吉的居民哪，要用快馬套車；錫安民（原文是女子）的罪由你而起；以色列人的罪過在你那裡顯出。Harness your chariot horses, O dweller of Lachish. You were the beginning of sin to the Daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.

¹⁴猶大啊，你要將禮物送給摩利設‧迦特。亞革悉的眾族必用詭詐待以色列諸王。Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel.

¹⁵瑪利沙的居民哪，我必使那奪取你的來到你這裡；以色列的尊貴人（原文是榮耀）必到亞杜蘭。I will again bring a conqueror against you, O dweller of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.

¹⁶猶大啊，要為你所喜愛的兒女剪除你的頭髮，使頭光禿，要大大地光禿，如同禿鷹，因為他們都被擄去離開你。Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair in mourning for your precious children; make yourselves as bald as an eagle, for they will go from you into exile.

圖謀奪取田地的有禍了

¹禍哉，那些在床上圖謀罪孽、造作奸惡的！天一發亮，因手有能力就行出來了。Woe to those who devise iniquity and plot evil on their beds! At morning’s light they accomplish it because the power is in their hands.

²他們貪圖田地就佔據，貪圖房屋便奪取；他們欺壓人，霸佔房屋和產業。They covet fields and seize them; they take away houses. They deprive a man of his home, a fellow man of his inheritance.

³所以耶和華如此說：我籌劃災禍降與這族；這禍在你們的頸項上不能解脫；你們也不能昂首而行，因為這時勢是惡的。Therefore this is what the LORD says: “I am planning against this nation a disaster from which you cannot free your necks. Then you will not walk so proudly, for it will be a time of calamity.

⁴到那日，必有人向你們提起悲慘的哀歌，譏刺說：我們全然敗落了！耶和華將我們的分轉歸別人，何竟使這分離開我們？他將我們的田地分給悖逆的人。In that day they will take up a proverb against you and taunt you with this bitter lamentation: ‘We are utterly ruined! He has changed the portion of my people. How He has removed it from me! He has allotted our fields to traitors.’”

⁵所以在耶和華的會中，你必沒有人拈鬮拉準繩。Therefore, you will have no one in the assembly of the LORD to divide the land by lot.

不要說預言

⁶他們（或譯：假先知）說：你們不可說預言；不可向這些人說預言，不住地羞辱我們。“Do not preach,” they preach. “Do not preach these things; disgrace will not overtake us.”

⁷雅各家啊，豈可說耶和華的心不忍耐嗎（或譯：心腸狹窄嗎）？這些事是他所行的嗎？我─耶和華的言語豈不是與行動正直的人有益嗎？Should it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these the things He does?” Do not My words bring good to him who walks uprightly?

⁸然而，近來我的民興起如仇敵，從那些安然經過不願打仗之人身上剝去外衣。But of late My people have risen up like an enemy: You strip off the splendid robe from unsuspecting passersby like men returning from battle.

⁹你們將我民中的婦人從安樂家中趕出，又將我的榮耀從她們的小孩子盡行奪去。You drive the women of My people from their pleasant homes. You take away My blessing from their children forever.

¹⁰你們起來去吧！這不是你們安息之所；因為污穢使人（或譯：地）毀滅，而且大大毀滅。Arise and depart, for this is not your place of rest, because its defilement brings destruction—a grievous destruction!

¹¹若有人心存虛假，用謊言說：我要向你們預言得清酒和濃酒。那人就必作這民的先知。If a man of wind were to come and say falsely, “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,” he would be just the preacher for this people!

聚集以色列剩下的人

¹²雅各家啊，我必要聚集你們，必要招聚以色列剩下的人，安置在一處，如波斯拉的羊，又如草場上的羊群；因為人數眾多就必大大喧嘩。I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will collect the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in the midst of its pasture—a noisy throng.

¹³開路的（或譯：破城的）在他們前面上去；他們直闖過城門，從城門出去。他們的王在前面行；耶和華引導他們。One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate, and go out by it. Their King will pass through before them, the LORD as their leader.

首領吃我民的肉

¹我說：雅各的首領，以色列家的官長啊，你們要聽！你們不當知道公平嗎？Then I said: “Hear now, O leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel. Should you not know justice?

²你們惡善好惡，從人身上剝皮，從人骨頭上剔肉，You hate good and love evil. You tear the skin from my people and strip the flesh from their bones.

³吃我民的肉，剝他們的皮，打折他們的骨頭，分成塊子像要下鍋，又像釜中的肉。You eat the flesh of my people after stripping off their skin and breaking their bones. You chop them up like flesh for the cooking pot, like meat in a cauldron.”

⁴到了遭災的時候，這些人必哀求耶和華，他卻不應允他們。那時他必照他們所行的惡事向他們掩面。Then they will cry out to the LORD, but He will not answer them. At that time He will hide His face from them because of the evil they have done.

使民走差路的先知

⁵論到使我民走差路的先知─他們牙齒有所嚼的，他們就呼喊說：平安了！凡不供給他們吃的，他們就預備攻擊他（預備攻擊他：或譯說必遭遇刀兵）─耶和華如此說：This is what the LORD says: “As for the prophets who lead My people astray, who proclaim peace while they chew with their teeth, but declare war against one who puts nothing in their mouths:

⁶你們必遭遇黑夜，以致不見異象；又必遭遇幽暗，以致不能占卜。日頭必向你們沉落，白晝變為黑暗。Therefore night will come over you without visions, and darkness without divination. The sun will set on these prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them.

⁷先見必抱愧，占卜的必蒙羞，都必摀著嘴唇，因為　神不應允他們。Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God.”

⁸至於我，我藉耶和華的靈，滿有力量、公平、才能，可以向雅各說明他的過犯，向以色列指出他的罪惡。As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the LORD, with justice and courage, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.

錫安必被耕種像一塊田

⁹雅各家的首領、以色列家的官長啊，當聽我的話！你們厭惡公平，在一切事上屈枉正直；Now hear this, O leaders of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and pervert all that is right,

¹⁰以人血建立錫安，以罪孽建造耶路撒冷。who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity.

¹¹首領為賄賂行審判；祭司為雇價施訓誨；先知為銀錢行占卜。他們卻倚賴耶和華，說：耶和華不是在我們中間嗎？災禍必不臨到我們。Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets practice divination for money. Yet they lean upon the LORD, saying, “Is not the LORD among us? No disaster can come upon us.”

¹²所以因你們的緣故，錫安必被耕種像一塊田，耶路撒冷必變為亂堆；這殿的山必像叢林的高處。Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.

末後萬民流歸耶和華的山

¹末後的日子，耶和華殿的山必堅立，超乎諸山，高舉過於萬嶺；萬民都要流歸這山。In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it.

²必有許多國的民前往，說：來吧，我們登耶和華的山，奔雅各　神的殿。主必將他的道教訓我們；我們也要行他的路。因為訓誨必出於錫安；耶和華的言語必出於耶路撒冷。And many nations will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

³他必在多國的民中施行審判，為遠方強盛的國斷定是非。他們要將刀打成犁頭，把槍打成鐮刀。這國不舉刀攻擊那國；他們也不再學習戰事。Then He will judge between many peoples and arbitrate for strong nations far and wide. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor will they train anymore for war.

⁴人人都要坐在自己葡萄樹下和無花果樹下，無人驚嚇。這是萬軍之耶和華親口說的。And each man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, with no one to frighten him. For the mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken.

⁵萬民各奉己神的名而行；我們卻永永遠遠奉耶和華─我們　神的名而行。Though all the nations may walk in the name of their gods, yet we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.

⁶耶和華說：到那日，我必聚集瘸腿的，招聚被趕出的和我所懲治的。“On that day,” declares the LORD, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted.

⁷我必使瘸腿的為餘剩之民，使趕到遠方的為強盛之民。耶和華要在錫安山作王治理他們，從今直到永遠。And I will make the lame into a remnant, the outcast into a strong nation. Then the LORD will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever.

⁸你這羊群的高臺、錫安城（原文是女子）的山哪，從前的權柄─就是耶路撒冷民（原文是女子）的國權─必歸與你。And you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion—the former dominion will be restored to you; sovereignty will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem.”

錫安像產難的婦人

⁹現在你為何大聲哭號呢？疼痛抓住你彷彿產難的婦人，是因你中間沒有君王嗎？你的謀士滅亡了嗎？Why do you now cry aloud? Is there no king among you? Has your counselor perished so that anguish grips you like a woman in labor?

¹⁰錫安的民（原文是女子）哪，你要疼痛劬勞，彷彿產難的婦人；因為你必從城裡出來，住在田野，到巴比倫去。在那裡要蒙解救；在那裡耶和華必救贖你脫離仇敵的手。Writhe in agony, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will leave the city and camp in the open fields. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued; there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies!

¹¹現在有許多國的民聚集攻擊你，說：願錫安被玷污！願我們親眼見她遭報！But now many nations have assembled against you, saying, “Let her be defiled, and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”

¹²他們卻不知道耶和華的意念，也不明白他的籌劃。他聚集他們，好像把禾捆聚到禾場一樣。But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD or understand His plan, for He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.

¹³錫安的民（原文是女子）哪，起來踹穀吧！我必使你的角成為鐵，使你的蹄成為銅。你必打碎多國的民，將他們的財獻與耶和華，將他們的貨獻與普天下的主。Rise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion, for I will give you horns of iron and hooves of bronze to break to pieces many peoples. Then you will devote their gain to the LORD, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

¹成群的民（原文是女子）哪，現在你要聚集成隊；因為仇敵圍攻我們，要用杖擊打以色列審判者的臉。Now, O daughter of troops, mobilize your troops; for a siege is laid against us! With a rod they will strike the cheek of the judge of Israel.

伯利恆的以法他

²伯利恆的以法他啊，你在猶大諸城中為小，將來必有一位從你那裡出來，在以色列中為我作掌權的；他的根源從亙古，從太初就有。But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come forth for Me One to be ruler over Israel—One whose origins are of old, from the days of eternity.

雅各餘剩的人
