¹以色列和犹大犯罪受罚

¹A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Micah the Morashite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, that he hath seen concerning Samaria and Jerusalem:

²万民哪！你们都要听；地和地上所遍满的，你们要聆听；主耶和华要指证你们的不是，主必从他的圣殿指证你们的不是。

²Hear, O peoples, all of them! Attend, O earth, and its fulness, And the Lord Jehovah is against you for a witness, The Lord from His holy temple.

³看哪！耶和华离开自己的地方，他降下来，踏在地的高处。

³For lo, Jehovah is going out from His place, And He hath come down, And hath trodden on high places of earth.

⁴群山在他脚下融化，众谷裂开，如蜡在火前一般，像水冲下斜坡一般，

⁴Melted have been the mountains under Him, And the valleys do rend themselves, As wax from the presence of fire, As waters cast down by a slope.

⁵这都是因为雅各的过犯，以色列家的罪恶。雅各的过犯是什么呢？不就是撒玛利亚吗？犹大家的罪恶是什么呢？不就是耶路撒冷吗？

⁵For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, And for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what the high places of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?

⁶撒玛利亚的刑罚所以我必使撒玛利亚变成田间的废堆，作栽种葡萄之处；我必把撒玛利亚的石头倒在谷中，连它的根基都露出来。

⁶And I have set Samaria for a heap of the field, For plantations of a vineyard, And poured out into a valley her stones, And her foundations I uncover.

⁷它一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎；它全部的钱财，都要用火烧尽；它所有的偶像，我都要毁灭；因为从妓女钱财榨取的，最后也必归为妓女的钱财。

⁷And all her graven images are beaten down, And all her gifts are burnt with fire, And all her idols I make a desolation, For, from the hire of a harlot she gathered, and unto the hire of a harlot they return.

⁸犹大的刑罚为此我要痛哭哀号，赤膊光脚而行；又要哀号如豺狼，悲鸣像鸵鸟。

⁸For this I lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an ostrich.

⁹因为撒玛利亚的创伤无法医治，并且殃及犹大，直逼我子民的城门，就是耶路撒冷。

⁹For mortal [are] her wounds, For it hath come unto Judah, It hath come to a gate of My people — to Jerusalem.

¹⁰不要在迦特报信，不要在巴歌哭泣；却要在伯．亚弗拉打滚于尘土中。

¹⁰In Gath tell ye not — in Acco weep not, In Beth-Aphrah, in dust roll thyself.

¹¹沙斐的居民哪！你们赤身羞愧走过去吧。撒南的居民不敢出来（“不敢出来”或译：“也逃不掉”）；伯．以薛人的哀号，要把你们立足之地夺去。

¹¹Pass over for thee, O inhabitant of Shaphir, Naked one of shame. Not gone out hath the inhabitant of Zaanan, The lamentation of Beth-Ezel doth take from you its standing.

¹²玛律的居民，急待得着幸福，因有灾祸从耶和华那里降下，临到耶路撒冷的城门。

¹²For stayed for good hath the inhabitant of Maroth, For evil hath come down from Jehovah to the gate of Jerusalem.

¹³拉吉的居民哪！要用快马套车，这就是锡安子民（“子民”原文作“女子”）罪恶的开端；因为以色列的过犯，都在你那里找到了。

¹³Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish, The beginning of sin [is] she to the daughter of Zion, For in thee have been found the transgressions of Israel.

¹⁴因此要把妆奁，送给摩利设．迦特；亚革悉的各家，必用诡诈对待以色列的众王。

¹⁴Therefore thou givest presents to Moresheth-Gath, The houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel.

¹⁵玛利沙的居民哪！我要再使那征服你的来到你那里；以色列的荣耀，必去到亚杜兰。

¹⁵Yet the possessor I do bring in to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, To Adullam come in doth the honour of Israel.

¹⁶犹大啊！为你所喜爱的儿女，你要剃头，使你的头光秃，完全光秃如同秃鹰；因为他们都从你那里被掳去了。

¹⁶Make bald and shave, for thy delightful sons, Enlarge thy baldness as an eagle, For they have removed from thee!
