弥迦书 3
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
指摘官长与领袖
3 我说：
“雅各的首领，你们要听，
以色列家的官长，你们也要听；
难道你们不知道公平吗？
2 然而，你们恨恶良善，喜爱邪恶，
从人身上剥皮，
从人骨头上剔肉。
3 你们吃我民的肉，
剥他们的皮，
打断他们的骨头，
切成像锅里的块，
像釜中的肉块。
4 那时，他们要向耶和华呼求，
耶和华却不应允他们。
到那时，耶和华必掩面不顾他们，
因为他们行了恶事。”
责备假先知
5 关于那些使我民走迷路的先知，
耶和华这样说：
“他们的牙齿有所咀嚼的时候，
就大叫‘平安’；
谁不把食物给他们吃，
他们就攻击那人。”
6 因此你们只有黑夜，没有异象，
只有黑暗，没有默示。
对先知，日头要下落，
为他们，白日变为黑暗。
7 先见必抱愧，
得默示的人要蒙羞；
他们都必掩着上唇，
因为没有 神的答复。
8 至于我，我却借着耶和华的灵，
满有力量、公平和能力，
可以向雅各述说他的过犯，
向以色列指出他的罪恶。
恶有恶报─圣城被毁
9 雅各家的首领，你们要听这个，
以色列家的官长，你们也要听；
你们厌恶公平，
屈枉正直，
10 用人血建锡安，
以罪孽造耶路撒冷。
11 城中的首领为贿赂而审判，
祭司为薪俸而教导，
先知为银子说默示，
他们竟倚靠耶和华，说：
“耶和华不是在我们中间吗？
灾祸必不会临到我们身上。”
12 所以，为你们的缘故，
锡安必像被耕种的田地，
耶路撒冷必变为乱堆，
这殿的山要成为丛林中的高冈。
Micah 3
International Children’s Bible
The Leaders of Israel Are Guilty of Evil
3 Then I said,
“Listen, leaders of the people of Jacob.
Listen, you rulers of the nation of Israel.
You should know how to decide cases fairly.
2 But you hate good and love evil.
You skin my people alive.
You tear the flesh off their bones.
3 You are destroying my people.
You skin them and break their bones.
You chop them up in pieces
like meat to put in the pot.
4 Then you will pray to the Lord.
But he won’t answer you.
He will hide his face from you,
because you have done evil.”
5 The Lord says this about the prophets who teach his people the wrong way of living:
“If someone gives these prophets food to eat,
they shout, ‘Peace!’
But if he doesn’t give them food,
they prepare for war against him.
6 So it will become like night to the prophets.
They won’t have any visions from the Lord.
It will become dark for them.
They won’t be able to tell what will happen in the future.
The sun is about to set for the prophets.
Their days will become dark.
7 The seers will be ashamed.
The people who see the future will be embarrassed.
Yes, all of them will cover their mouths.
This is because there will be no answer from God.”
Micah Is an Honest Prophet of God
8 But the Lord’s Spirit has filled me
with power and strength to preach fairness.
I will tell the people of Jacob how they have turned against God.
I will tell the people of Israel how they have done wrong.
9 Leaders of Jacob and rulers of Israel,
listen to me.
You hate fairness.
You destroy what is right.
10 You build Jerusalem by murdering people.
You build it with the sins you do.
11 The judges in Jerusalem take money
to decide who wins in court.
The priests in Jerusalem only teach for pay.
The prophets only look into the future when they get paid.
But yet those leaders say,
“The Lord is with us.
Nothing bad will happen to us.”
12 Because of you,
Jerusalem will be plowed like a field.
Jerusalem will become a pile of rocks.
The hill on which the Temple stands will be covered with bushes.
