¹欺壓人的有禍了那些在床上圖謀不義，並且行惡的人有禍了！因為他們的手有力量，天一亮，就作出來了。

¹Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

²他們要田地，就去搶奪；想要房屋，就去強取。他們欺壓人和他的家眷，取人和人的產業。

²They covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

³因此耶和華這樣說：看哪！我策劃災禍攻擊這家族，你們無法縮起頸項避開這災禍。你們不能昂首而行（“昂首而行”或譯：“高視闊步”）；因為這是個災難的時代。

³Therefore thus says Yahweh: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.

⁴到那日，必有人作歌諷刺你們，唱悲傷的哀歌，說：“我們徹底被毀滅了，我子民分內的產業，他竟轉給別人了；他怎可從我這裡挪去，把我們的田地分給擄掠我們的人（“分給擄掠我們的人”或譯：“分給背道的人”）！”

⁴In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”

⁵因此你在耶和華的會眾中，必沒有抽籤拉準繩的人了。

⁶攻擊先知的話有人預言說：“你們不要說預言；人不可預言這些事；羞恥不會臨到我們。”

⁶“Don’t prophesy!” They prophesy. “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”

⁷雅各家啊！人怎可說：“耶和華的心著急，不能忍耐呢？這些是他的作為嗎？”我耶和華的話對行事正直的人不是有益的嗎？

⁷Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: “Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”

⁸你們卻像仇敵一樣，起來攻擊我的子民（“你們卻像仇敵一樣，起來攻擊我的子民”或譯：“然而，我的子民竟興起來像仇敵一樣”）；你們竟從安詳過路的人身上剝去衣服，從不願作戰的人身上剝去外衣。

⁸But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.

⁹你們把我民中的婦女趕逐，離開歡樂的家園；你們把我的尊榮，從她們的嬰孩身上奪去，直到永遠。

⁹You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.

¹⁰起來，走吧！這不是你們安息之地；你們因為不潔淨的緣故，必被毀滅，是不可挽救的毀滅。

¹⁰Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.

¹¹若有人隨從虛假的心，撒謊說：“我要向你們說清酒和烈酒的預言。”那人就是這民的預言家了。

¹¹If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink”; he would be the prophet of this people.

¹²復興雅各家的應許雅各家啊！我必召集你們所有的人，聚集以色列的餘民；我要把他們安置在一起，像羊在羊圈裡，像群羊遠離了人，在草場上喧嘩。

¹²I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they will swarm with people.

¹³開路的人領先上去；他們開路，闖門進入，又從門裡出來；他們的王在他們面前走過，耶和華領導他們。

¹³He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.
