Micah 2
New American Standard Bible
Woe to Oppressors
2 Woe to those who (A)devise wrongdoing,
Who practice evil on their beds!
[a](B)When morning comes, they do it,
Because it is in the (C)power of their hands.
2 They (D)covet fields, so they (E)seize them;
And houses, so they take them.
They [b](F)exploit a man and his house,
A person and his inheritance.
3 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“Behold, I am (G)planning against this (H)family a catastrophe
From which you (I)cannot remove your necks;
And you will not walk (J)haughtily,
For it will be an (K)evil time.
4 On that day they will (L)take up against you a [c]song of mocking
And [d](M)utter a song of mourning and say,
‘We are completely (N)destroyed!
He exchanges the share of my people;
How He removes it from me!
To the apostate He (O)apportions our fields.’
5 Therefore you will have no one [e](P)applying a measuring line
For you by lot in the assembly of the Lord.
6 ‘(Q)Do not prophesy,’ so they prophesy.
But if [f]they do (R)not prophesy about these things,
(S)Insults will not be turned back.
7 Is it being said, house of Jacob:
‘Is the Spirit of the Lord (T)impatient?
Are these His works?’
Do My words not (U)do good
For the one (V)walking rightly?
8 [g]Recently My people have arisen as an (W)enemy—
You (X)strip the robe off the garment
From (Y)unsuspecting passers-by,
From those returned from war.
9 You (Z)evict the women of My people,
Each one from her pleasant house.
From her children you take My (AA)splendor forever.
10 Arise and go,
For this is no place (AB)of rest
Because of the (AC)uncleanness that brings on destruction,
A painful destruction.
11 If someone walking after wind and (AD)falsehood
Had lied and said,
‘I will prophesy to you about (AE)wine and liquor,’
He would become a prophet to (AF)this people.
12 “I will certainly (AG)assemble all of you, Jacob,
I will certainly gather the (AH)remnant of Israel.
I will put them together like sheep in the fold;
Like a flock in the midst of its pasture
They will be noisy with people.
13 The one who breaks through goes up before them;
They break through, pass through the gate, and go out by it.
So their king passes on before them,
And the Lord at their head.”
弥迦书 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
严责恶人肆行欺虐必受灾祸
2 祸哉,那些在床上图谋罪孽、造做奸恶的!天一发亮,因手有能力就行出来了。 2 他们贪图田地就占据,贪图房屋便夺取。他们欺压人,霸占房屋和产业。 3 所以耶和华如此说:“我筹划灾祸降于这族,这祸在你们的颈项上不能解脱,你们也不能昂首而行,因为这时势是恶的。
人必为之作讽词发哀歌
4 “到那日,必有人向你们提起悲惨的哀歌,讥刺说:‘我们全然败落了!耶和华将我们的份转归别人。何竟使这份离开我们?他将我们的田地分给悖逆的人。’ 5 所以在耶和华的会中,你必没有人拈阄拉准绳。
责其多行强暴
6 “他们[a]说:‘你们不可说预言!不可向这些人说预言,不住地羞辱我们。’ 7 雅各家啊,岂可说耶和华的心不忍耐吗[b]?这些事是他所行的吗?我耶和华的言语,岂不是与行动正直的人有益吗? 8 然而近来我的民兴起如仇敌,从那些安然经过不愿打仗之人身上剥去外衣。 9 你们将我民中的妇人从安乐家中赶出,又将我的荣耀从她们的小孩子尽行夺去。 10 你们起来去吧!这不是你们安息之所。因为污秽使人[c]毁灭,而且大大毁灭。 11 若有人心存虚假,用谎言说‘我要向你们预言得清酒和浓酒’,那人就必做这民的先知!
许雅各蒙恩旋返如羊归牢
12 “雅各家啊,我必要聚集你们,必要招聚以色列剩下的人,安置在一处,如波斯拉的羊,又如草场上的羊群。因为人数众多,就必大大喧哗。 13 开路的[d]在他们前面上去,他们直闯过城门,从城门出去。他们的王在前面行,耶和华引导他们。”
Micah 2
New International Version
Human Plans and God’s Plans
2 Woe to those who plan iniquity,
to those who plot evil(A) on their beds!(B)
At morning’s light they carry it out
because it is in their power to do it.
2 They covet fields(C) and seize them,(D)
and houses, and take them.
They defraud(E) people of their homes,
they rob them of their inheritance.(F)
3 Therefore, the Lord says:
“I am planning disaster(G) against this people,
from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,(H)
for it will be a time of calamity.
4 In that day people will ridicule you;
they will taunt you with this mournful song:
‘We are utterly ruined;(I)
my people’s possession is divided up.(J)
He takes it from me!
He assigns our fields to traitors.’”
False Prophets
6 “Do not prophesy,” their prophets say.
“Do not prophesy about these things;
disgrace(M) will not overtake us.(N)”
7 You descendants of Jacob, should it be said,
“Does the Lord become[a] impatient?
Does he do such things?”
“Do not my words do good(O)
to the one whose ways are upright?(P)
8 Lately my people have risen up
like an enemy.
You strip off the rich robe
from those who pass by without a care,
like men returning from battle.
9 You drive the women of my people
from their pleasant homes.(Q)
You take away my blessing
from their children forever.
10 Get up, go away!
For this is not your resting place,(R)
because it is defiled,(S)
it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
11 If a liar and deceiver(T) comes and says,
‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’(U)
that would be just the prophet for this people!(V)
Deliverance Promised
12 “I will surely gather all of you, Jacob;
I will surely bring together the remnant(W) of Israel.
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in its pasture;
the place will throng with people.(X)
13 The One who breaks open the way will go up before(Y) them;
they will break through the gate(Z) and go out.
Their King will pass through before them,
the Lord at their head.”
