弥迦书 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶和华谴责以色列
6 以色列人啊，
你们要听耶和华的话：
“起来，你们要在高山面前申辩，
让丘陵听你们诉说。
2 群山啊，大地永固的根基啊，
你们要听耶和华的控告！
因为耶和华要控告祂的子民，
责备以色列人。
3 “我的子民啊，
我做了什么对不起你们的事？
我哪里令你们厌烦？
回答我！
4 我曾带领你们离开埃及，
把你们从受奴役之地救赎出来，
又差遣摩西、亚伦和米利暗引领你们。
5 我的子民啊，
你们要回想摩押王巴勒的阴谋以及比珥之子巴兰给他的回答，
要回想你们从什亭到吉甲途中的遭遇，
以便认识耶和华公义的作为。”
6 我要拿什么朝见耶和华，
在天上的上帝面前叩拜呢？
要献上一岁的牛犊作燔祭吗？
7 耶和华会喜爱成千的公羊和万条油河吗？
我要因过犯而献上自己的长子，
因心中的罪恶而献上亲生的骨肉吗？
8 世人啊，
耶和华已经指示你们何为良善。
祂向你们所要的是什么呢？
是要你们行公义，好怜悯，
谦卑地与你们的上帝同行。
9 耶和华在向耶路撒冷呼喊，
智者必敬畏祂的名。祂说：
“聚在城里的众人啊，你们要听！
10 我岂会忘记恶人家中的不义之财和可恶的小升斗？
11 我岂会放过使用不公道的秤和砝码的人？
12 城中的富人残暴成性，
居民谎话连篇，
满口诡诈之言。
13 所以，我要重重地击打你，
因你的罪恶而毁灭你。
14 你吃，却吃不饱，仍然腹中空空。
你聚敛钱财，却保不住。
你保住的，我要交给拿刀的。
15 你撒种，却不得收割；
你榨橄榄，却无油抹身；
你踩葡萄，却无酒可喝。
16 因为你遵守暗利的恶规，
效法亚哈家的恶行，
随从他们的计谋，
所以我要使你荒凉，
让你的居民成为笑柄。
你们要蒙受列国的羞辱。”
Micah 6
King James Version
6 Hear ye now what the Lord saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the Lord.
6 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
9 The Lord's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, 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, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
Micah 6
English Standard Version
The Indictment of the Lord
6 (A)Hear what the Lord says:
Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
and let the hills hear your voice.
2 (B)Hear, you mountains, (C)the indictment of the Lord,
and you enduring foundations of the earth,
for the Lord has an indictment against his people,
and he will contend with Israel.
3 “O my people, (D)what have I done to you?
(E)How have I wearied you? Answer me!
4 For (F)I brought you up from the land of Egypt
and (G)redeemed you from the house of slavery,
and I sent before you Moses,
Aaron, and (H)Miriam.
5 O my people, remember (I)what Balak king of Moab devised,
and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
and what happened from (J)Shittim to Gilgal,
that you may know (K)the righteous acts of the Lord.”
What Does the Lord Require?
6 (L)“With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before (M)God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
7 (N)Will the Lord be pleased with[a] thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
(O)Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
8 He has told you, O man, what is good;
and (P)what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,[b]
and to (Q)walk humbly with your God?
Destruction of the Wicked
9 The voice of the Lord cries to the city—
and it is sound wisdom to fear (R)your name:
“Hear of (S)the rod and of him who appointed it![c]
10 Can I forget any longer the treasures[d] of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
and the scant measure that is accursed?
11 Shall I acquit the man (T)with wicked scales
and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Your[e] rich men are (U)full of violence;
your inhabitants (V)speak lies,
and (W)their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Therefore I strike you with a grievous blow,
(X)making you desolate because of your sins.
14 (Y)You shall eat, but not be satisfied,
and there shall be hunger within you;
you shall put away, but not preserve,
and what you preserve I will give to the sword.
15 (Z)You shall sow, but not reap;
you shall tread olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
you shall tread grapes, but not drink wine.
16 For you have kept the statutes of (AA)Omri,[f]
and all the works of the house of (AB)Ahab;
and you have walked in their counsels,
that I may make you (AC)a desolation, and your[g] inhabitants (AD)a hissing;
so you shall bear (AE)the scorn of my people.”
