彌迦書 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
1 猶大王約坦、亞哈斯和希西迦執政期間，耶和華把祂的話傳給了摩利沙人彌迦。他看到了有關撒瑪利亞和耶路撒冷的異象。
審判將臨
2 萬民啊，
你們都要聽！
大地和地上的萬物啊，
你們要側耳傾聽！
主耶和華從祂的聖殿裡作證指控你們。
3 看啊，耶和華離開祂的居所，
從天降臨，
腳踏大地的高處。
4 群山在祂腳下熔化，
猶如火中的蠟；
山谷崩裂，
岩石如水沿山坡傾瀉。
5 這一切都是因為雅各的叛逆，
以色列家的罪惡。
雅各的叛逆在哪裡呢？
豈不是在撒瑪利亞嗎？
猶大的邱壇在哪裡呢？
豈不是在耶路撒冷嗎？
6 「所以，我耶和華要使撒瑪利亞淪為荒野的廢墟，
成為種葡萄的地方。
我要把她的石頭拋進山谷，
直到露出她的根基。
7 她所有的神像都要被打碎，
她所得的淫資都要化為灰燼；
我要毀滅她的一切偶像。
她以淫資得來的偶像，
也要被用作妓女的淫資。」
先知的哀傷
8 為此，我要痛哭哀號，
我要赤身光腳而行，
像豺狼哀嚎，
如鴕鳥悲鳴。
9 因為撒瑪利亞的創傷無法救治，
已經禍及猶大，
直逼我百姓的城門，直逼耶路撒冷。
10 不要在迦特宣揚，
也不要哭泣，
要在伯·亞弗拉的灰塵中打滾。
11 沙斐的居民啊，
你們將赤身露體，
被羞辱地擄去。
撒南的居民不敢出城，
伯·以薛在痛哭，
你們已失去它的庇護。
12 瑪律的居民痛苦不堪，
渴望得到拯救，
因為耶和華已把災難降到耶路撒冷的城門。
13 拉吉的居民啊，
用駿馬套車逃命吧！
是你們首先唆使錫安城犯罪，
在你們身上看到了以色列的罪惡。
14 去向摩利設·迦特贈送告別禮物吧！
亞革悉人必令以色列諸王受騙上當。
15 瑪利沙的居民啊，
我要使征服者到你們那裡。
以色列的領袖[a]要躲到亞杜蘭。
16 猶大人啊，你們要剃光頭髮，
為你們所愛的兒女悲傷；
要剃得如禿鷹一樣光禿，
因為他們要被擄到遠方。

Micah 1
Living Bible
Micah 1
Living Bible
1 These are messages from the Lord to Micah, who lived in the town of Moresheth during the reigns of King Jotham, King Ahaz, and King Hezekiah, all kings of Judah. The messages were addressed to both Samaria and Judah and came to Micah in the form of visions.
2 Attention! Let all the peoples of the world listen. For the Lord in his holy Temple has made accusations against you!
3 Look! He is coming! He leaves his throne in heaven and comes to earth, walking on the mountaintops. 4 They melt beneath his feet and flow into the valleys like wax in fire, like water pouring down a hill.
5 And why is this happening? Because of the sins of Israel and Judah. What sins? The idolatry and oppression centering in the capital cities, Samaria and Jerusalem!
6 Therefore, the entire city of Samaria will crumble into a heap of rubble and become an open field, her streets plowed up for planting grapes! The Lord will tear down her wall and her forts, exposing their foundations, and pour their stones into the valleys below. 7 All her carved images will be smashed to pieces; her ornate idol temples, built with the gifts of worshipers, will all be burned.[a]
8 I will wail and lament, howling as a jackal, mournful as an ostrich crying across the desert sands at night. I will walk naked and barefoot in sorrow and shame; 9 for my people’s wound is far too deep to heal. The Lord stands ready at Jerusalem’s gates to punish her. 10 Woe to the city of Gath. Weep, men of Bakah. In Beth-leaphrah roll in the dust in your anguish and shame. 11 There go the people of Shaphir,[b] led away as slaves—stripped, naked and ashamed. The people of Zaanan dare not show themselves outside their walls. The foundations of Beth-ezel are swept away—the very ground on which it stood. 12 The people of Maroth vainly hope for better days, but only bitterness awaits them as the Lord stands poised against Jerusalem.
13 Quick! Use your swiftest chariots and flee, O people of Lachish, for you were the first of the cities of Judah to follow Israel in her sin of idol worship. Then all the cities of the south began to follow your example.
14 Write off Moresheth[c] of Gath; there is no hope of saving her. The town of Achzib has deceived the kings of Israel, for she promised help she cannot give. 15 You people of Mareshah will be a prize to your enemies. They will penetrate to Adullam, the “Pride of Israel.”
16 Weep, weep for your little ones. For they are snatched away, and you will never see them again. They have gone as slaves to distant lands. Shave your heads in sorrow.
Footnotes
- Micah 1:7 will all be burned, literally, “they shall return to the hire of a harlot.”
- Micah 1:11 There go the people of Shaphir. In the Hebrew there is frequent wordplay in vv. 10-14. Micah bitterly declaims each town, demonstrating by the use of puns their failures. Shaphir sounds like the Hebrew word for “beauty,” here contrasted with their shame; Zaanan sounds like the verb meaning “to go forth,” here contrasted with the fear of its inhabitants to venture outside; Beth-ezel sounds like a word for “foundation,” which had been taken away from them.
- Micah 1:14 Moresheth, Micah’s hometown (1:1).
Micah 1
New International Version
Micah 1
New International Version
1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah of Moresheth(A) during the reigns of Jotham,(B) Ahaz(C) and Hezekiah,(D) kings of Judah(E)—the vision(F) he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Hear,(G) you peoples, all of you,(H)
listen, earth(I) and all who live in it,
that the Sovereign Lord may bear witness(J) against you,
the Lord from his holy temple.(K)
Judgment Against Samaria and Jerusalem
3 Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling(L) place;
he comes down(M) and treads on the heights of the earth.(N)
4 The mountains melt(O) beneath him(P)
and the valleys split apart,(Q)
like wax before the fire,
like water rushing down a slope.
5 All this is because of Jacob’s transgression,
because of the sins of the people of Israel.
What is Jacob’s transgression?
Is it not Samaria?(R)
What is Judah’s high place?
Is it not Jerusalem?
6 “Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,
a place for planting vineyards.(S)
I will pour her stones(T) into the valley
and lay bare her foundations.(U)
7 All her idols(V) will be broken to pieces;(W)
all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
I will destroy all her images.(X)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,(Y)
as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”
Weeping and Mourning
8 Because of this I will weep(Z) and wail;
I will go about barefoot(AA) and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
and moan like an owl.
9 For Samaria’s plague(AB) is incurable;(AC)
it has spread to Judah.(AD)
It has reached the very gate(AE) of my people,
even to Jerusalem itself.
10 Tell it not in Gath[a];
weep not at all.
In Beth Ophrah[b]
roll in the dust.
11 Pass by naked(AF) and in shame,
you who live in Shaphir.[c]
Those who live in Zaanan[d]
will not come out.
Beth Ezel is in mourning;
it no longer protects you.
12 Those who live in Maroth[e] writhe in pain,
waiting for relief,(AG)
because disaster(AH) has come from the Lord,
even to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 You who live in Lachish,(AI)
harness fast horses to the chariot.
You are where the sin of Daughter Zion(AJ) began,
for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Therefore you will give parting gifts(AK)
to Moresheth(AL) Gath.
The town of Akzib[f](AM) will prove deceptive(AN)
to the kings of Israel.
15 I will bring a conqueror against you
who live in Mareshah.[g](AO)
The nobles of Israel
will flee to Adullam.(AP)
16 Shave(AQ) your head in mourning
for the children in whom you delight;
make yourself as bald as the vulture,
for they will go from you into exile.(AR)
