弥迦书 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
1 犹大王约坦、亚哈斯和希西迦执政期间，耶和华把祂的话传给了摩利沙人弥迦。他看到了有关撒玛利亚和耶路撒冷的异象。
审判将临
2 万民啊，
你们都要听！
大地和地上的万物啊，
你们要侧耳倾听！
主耶和华从祂的圣殿里作证指控你们。
3 看啊，耶和华离开祂的居所，
从天降临，
脚踏大地的高处。
4 群山在祂脚下熔化，
犹如火中的蜡；
山谷崩裂，
岩石如水沿山坡倾泻。
5 这一切都是因为雅各的叛逆，
以色列家的罪恶。
雅各的叛逆在哪里呢？
岂不是在撒玛利亚吗？
犹大的丘坛在哪里呢？
岂不是在耶路撒冷吗？
6 “所以，我耶和华要使撒玛利亚沦为荒野的废墟，
成为种葡萄的地方。
我要把她的石头抛进山谷，
直到露出她的根基。
7 她所有的神像都要被打碎，
她所得的淫资都要化为灰烬；
我要毁灭她的一切偶像。
她以淫资得来的偶像，
也要被用作妓女的淫资。”
先知的哀伤
8 为此，我要痛哭哀号，
我要赤身光脚而行，
像豺狼哀嚎，
如鸵鸟悲鸣。
9 因为撒玛利亚的创伤无法救治，
已经祸及犹大，
直逼我百姓的城门，直逼耶路撒冷。
10 不要在迦特宣扬，
也不要哭泣，
要在伯·亚弗拉的灰尘中打滚。
11 沙斐的居民啊，
你们将赤身露体，
被羞辱地掳去。
撒南的居民不敢出城，
伯·以薛在痛哭，
你们已失去它的庇护。
12 玛律的居民痛苦不堪，
渴望得到拯救，
因为耶和华已把灾难降到耶路撒冷的城门。
13 拉吉的居民啊，
用骏马套车逃命吧！
是你们首先唆使锡安城犯罪，
在你们身上看到了以色列的罪恶。
14 去向摩利设·迦特赠送告别礼物吧！
亚革悉人必令以色列诸王受骗上当。
15 玛利沙的居民啊，
我要使征服者到你们那里。
以色列的领袖[a]要躲到亚杜兰。
16 犹大人啊，你们要剃光头发，
为你们所爱的儿女悲伤；
要剃得如秃鹰一样光秃，
因为他们要被掳到远方。

Micah 1
Easy-to-Read Version
Samaria and Israel to Be Punished
1 During the time that Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah, the word of the Lord came to Micah. Micah was from Moresheth. He saw these visions about Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Listen, all you people!
Earth and everyone on it,[a] listen!
The Lord God will be a witness against you.
The Lord will come from his holy temple.
3 See, the Lord is leaving his place
to come down and walk on the high places[b] of the earth.
4 The mountains will melt under him
like wax in a fire.
The valleys will break apart
and slide like water rushing down a hill.
5 This will happen because of Jacob’s sin,
because of the sins of the nation[c] of Israel.
Samaria, the Cause of Sin
What caused Jacob to sin?
It was Samaria.
Where is the high place in Judah?
It is Jerusalem.
6 So I will change Samaria into a pile of rocks in the field,
a place ready for planting grapes.
I will push Samaria’s stones down into the valley,
leaving nothing but the foundations.
7 All her idols will be broken to pieces.
And the offerings to her idols will be burned.
I will destroy all her statues of false gods,
because she got them as pay for being a prostitute.
So those things will be taken away
to be used again for paying prostitutes.
Micah’s Great Sadness
8 I will be very sad about what will happen.
I will go without sandals and clothes.
I will cry like a dog.[d]
I will mourn like a bird.[e]
9 Samaria’s[f] wound cannot be healed.
Her disease has spread to Judah.
It has reached the city gate of my people;
it has spread all the way to Jerusalem.
10 Don’t tell it in Gath.[g]
Don’t cry in Acco.[h]
Roll yourself in the dust
at Beth Ophrah.[i]
11 You people living in Shaphir,[j]
pass on your way, naked and ashamed.
The people living in Zaanan[k]
will not come out.
The people in Beth Ezel[l] will cry
and take their support from you.
12 The people living in Maroth[m]
wait for something good to happen,
even though trouble has come down from the Lord
and has reached the city gate of Jerusalem.
13 You people living in Lachish,[n]
get the horses ready for your chariots.
You are guilty of the same sins Israel[o] committed,
and you brought those sins to Jerusalem.[p]
14 So you must give goodbye gifts
to Moresheth[q] in Gath.
The houses in Aczib[r] will trick
the kings of Israel.
15 You people who live in Mareshah,[s]
I will bring someone against you who will take the things you own.
The Glory of Israel
will come into Adullam.[t]
16 So cut off your hair, make yourself bald,[u]
because you will cry for the children you love.
Make yourself bald like an eagle[v] and show your sadness,
because your children will be taken away from you.
