彌迦書 1

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.

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.
