弥迦书 6
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
责以色列人忘恩犯罪
6 你们当听耶和华所说的话：
“你要起来，向大山争辩，
让小山可以听见你的声音。
2 大山啊！你们要听耶和华的争辩。
大地永久的根基啊！你们要听，
因为耶和华与他的子民争辩，
和以色列争论。
3 我的子民啊，我向你作了甚么呢？
我在甚么事上叫你厌烦呢？
你可以回答我。
4 我曾经把你从埃及地领上来，
把你从为奴之家赎出来；
我也差派了摩西、亚伦和米利暗在你前面行。
5 我的民哪！你们要追念，
摩押王巴勒图谋过甚么，
比珥的儿子巴兰又答应了他甚么，
以及你们从什亭到吉甲所发生的事，
好使你们知道耶和华公义的作为。”
神要求的不是外表的献祭
6 我朝见耶和华，
在至高的 神面前叩拜，当献上甚么呢？
我朝见他的时候，当献上燔祭，
当献上一岁的牛犊吗？
7 耶和华喜悦千千的公羊，
或是万万的油河吗？
为我的过犯，我可以献上我的长子吗？
为我的罪恶，献上我亲生的孩子吗？
8 世人哪！耶和华已经指示你甚么是善，
他向你所要的又是甚么；
无非是要你行公义，好怜悯，
谦虚谨慎与你的 神同行。
诡诈的行为必受惩罚
9 听啊！耶和华向这城呼叫，
敬畏你的名就是智慧；
支派和城里的会众啊！你们要听。
10 我怎能忘记恶人家中的不义之财，
和那些可咒诅的小升斗呢？
11 用不义的天平，
和袋中诈骗的法码的人，
我怎能算他为清洁呢？
12 城里的财主充满了强暴，
其中的居民也说假话；
他们口中的舌头是诡诈的。
13 因此我击打你，使你生病（“我击打你，使你生病”或参照《七十士译本》和其他古译本作“我开始击打你”），
因你的罪恶，使你荒凉。
14 你要吃，却吃不饱；
因你的腹中常有疾病。
你要怀孕，却不能生下来；
你生下来的，
我都要交给刀剑。
15 你要撒种，却不得收割，
你要榨橄榄油，却不得油抹身；
你要榨葡萄汁，却不得酒喝。
16 你跟随了暗利的规例
和亚哈家一切所行的，
顺从了他们的计谋；
因此，我必使你荒凉，
使你（“你”原文作“她”）的居民被嗤笑；
你们也必担当我民的羞辱。
Micah 6
1599 Geneva Bible
6 An exhortation to the dumb creatures to hear the judgment against Israel being unkind. 6 What manner of sacrifices do please God.
1 Hearken ye now what the Lord saith, Arise thou, and contend before the [a]mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord’s quarrel, and ye mighty foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a quarrel against his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? or wherein have I grieved thee? testify against me.
4 Surely I [b]brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants, and I have sent before thee, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab had devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from [c]Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the [d]righteousness of the Lord.
6 Wherewith [e]shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, and with calves of a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? shall I give my [f]firstborn for my transgression, even the fruit of my body, for the sin of my soul?
8 He hath showed thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth of thee: [g]surely to do justly, and to love mercy, and to humble thyself, to walk with thy God.
9 The Lord’s voice crieth unto the [h]city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: Hear the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Are yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure, that is abominable?
11 Shall I justify the wicked balances, and the bag of deceitful weights?
12 For the rich men thereof [i]are full of cruelty, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, and in making thee desolate, because of thy sins.
14 Thou shalt eat and not be satisfied, and [j]thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee, and thou [k]shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver, and that which thou deliverest, will I give up to the sword.
15 Thou shalt sow, but not reap: Thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil, and make sweet wine, but shall not drink wine.
16 For the [l]statutes of Omri are kept, and all the manner of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels, that I should make thee waste, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
