Micah 1
Legacy Standard Bible
Calamity in Israel and Judah
1 The (A)word of [a]Yahweh which came to (B)Micah of Moresheth in the days of (C)Jotham, (D)Ahaz, and (E)Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he beheld concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Hear, O peoples, all of [b]you;
(F)Give heed, O earth, as well as its fullness,
And let Lord Yahweh be a (G)witness against you,
The Lord from His holy temple.
3 For behold, Yahweh is (H)going forth from His place.
He will come down and (I)tread on the high places of the [c]earth.
4 (J)The mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will be split,
Like wax before the fire,
Like water poured down a steep place.
5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the (K)transgression of Jacob?
Is it not (L)Samaria?
What is the (M)high [d]place of Judah?
Is it not Jerusalem?
6 So I will make Samaria a (N)heap of ruins in the field,
(O)Planting places for a vineyard.
And I will (P)pour her stones down into the valley
And will (Q)lay bare her foundations.
7 And all of her (R)graven images will be smashed,
And all of her earnings will be burned with fire
And all of her idols I will make desolate,
For she collected them from a (S)harlot’s earnings,
And to the earnings of a harlot they will return.
8 Because of this I must lament and wail;
I must go (T)barefoot and naked;
I must make a lament like the (U)jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches.
9 For her [e](V)wound is incurable,
For (W)it has come to Judah;
It has reached the (X)gate of my people,
Even to Jerusalem.
10 (Y)Tell it not in Gath,
Weep not at all.
At [f]Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust.
11 [g]Pass on by, inhabitant of [h]Shaphir, in (Z)shameful nakedness.
The inhabitant of [i](AA)Zaanan does not go out.
The lamentation of [j]Beth-ezel: “He will take from you its [k]support.”
12 For the inhabitant of [l]Maroth
Writhes (AB)in waiting for good
Because a [m]calamity has come down from Yahweh
To the (AC)gate of Jerusalem.
13 Harness the chariot to the team of horses,
O inhabitant of (AD)Lachish—
She was the beginning of sin
To the daughter of Zion—
Because in you were found
The (AE)transgressions of Israel.
14 Therefore you will give parting (AF)gifts
On behalf of [n]Moresheth-gath;
The houses of [o](AG)Achzib will become a (AH)deception
To the kings of Israel.
15 Moreover, I will bring on you
The one who takes possession,
O inhabitant of [p](AI)Mareshah.
The glory of Israel will enter (AJ)Adullam.
16 Make yourself (AK)bald and cut off your hair,
Because of the children of your delight;
Extend your baldness like the eagle,
For they will (AL)go from you into exile.

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
以色列和猶大犯罪受罰
1 在猶大王約坦、亞哈斯、希西家執政的時候，耶和華的話臨到摩利沙人彌迦，是他看到關於撒瑪利亞和耶路撒冷的話。
2 萬民哪！你們都要聽；
地和地上所遍滿的，你們要聆聽；
主耶和華要指證你們的不是，
主必從他的聖殿指證你們的不是。
3 看哪！耶和華離開自己的地方，
他降下來，踏在地的高處。
4 群山在他腳下融化，
眾谷裂開，
如蠟在火前一般，
像水沖下斜坡一般，
5 這都是因為雅各的過犯，
以色列家的罪惡。
雅各的過犯是甚麼呢？
不就是撒瑪利亞嗎？
猶大家的罪惡是甚麼呢？
不就是耶路撒冷嗎？
撒瑪利亞的刑罰
6 所以我必使撒瑪利亞變成田間的廢堆，
作栽種葡萄之處；
我必把撒瑪利亞的石頭倒在谷中，
連它的根基都露出來。
7 它一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎；
它全部的錢財，都要用火燒盡；
它所有的偶像，我都要毀滅；
因為從妓女錢財榨取的，
最後也必歸為妓女的錢財。
猶大的刑罰
8 為此我要痛哭哀號，
赤膊光腳而行；
又要哀號如豺狼，
悲鳴像鴕鳥。
9 因為撒瑪利亞的創傷無法醫治，
並且殃及猶大，
直逼我子民的城門，
就是耶路撒冷。
10 不要在迦特報信，
不要在巴歌哭泣；
卻要在伯．亞弗拉打滾於塵土中。
11 沙斐的居民哪！你們赤身羞愧走過去吧。
撒南的居民不敢出來（“不敢出來”或譯：“也逃不掉。”）；
伯．以薛人的哀號，要把你們立足之地奪去。
12 瑪律的居民，
急待得著幸福，
因有災禍從耶和華那裡降下，
臨到耶路撒冷的城門。
13 拉吉的居民哪！
要用快馬套車，
這就是錫安子民（“子民”原文作“女子”）罪惡的開端；
因為以色列的過犯，
都在你那裡找到了。
14 因此要把妝奩，
送給摩利設．迦特；
亞革悉的各家，
必用詭詐對待以色列的眾王。
15 瑪利沙的居民哪！
我要再使那征服你的來到你那裡；
以色列的榮耀，必去到亞杜蘭。
16 猶大啊！為你所喜愛的兒女，
你要剃頭，使你的頭光禿，
完全光禿如同禿鷹；
因為他們都從你那裡被擄去了。
