Micah 3

1 Then I said: “Hear now, O leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel. Should you not know justice?

1 我说：“雅各的首领，以色列家的统治者啊！ 你们要听！ 难道你们不知正义吗？

2 You hate good and love evil. You tear the skin from my people and strip the flesh from their bones.

2 然而，你们憎恶良善， 喜爱邪恶， 剥下我百姓的皮， 从他们的骨头上剔肉。

3 You eat the flesh of my people after stripping off their skin and breaking their bones. You chop them up like flesh for the cooking pot, like meat in a cauldron.”

3 你们吃我百姓的肉， 剥我百姓的皮， 打碎他们的骨头， 把他们切成块， 如同下在锅里、放进釜中的肉。

4 Then they will cry out to the LORD, but He will not answer them. At that time He will hide His face from them because of the evil they have done.

4 你们遭难的时候， 向耶和华呼求， 祂必不应允你们。 因你们的恶行， 祂必掩面不顾你们。”

5 This is what the LORD says: “As for the prophets who lead My people astray, who proclaim peace while they chew with their teeth, but declare war against one who puts nothing in their mouths:

5 耶和华说： “使我的子民步入歧途的先知啊， 你们向供养你们的人报平安， 出言攻击那不供养你们的人。

6 Therefore night will come over you without visions, and darkness without divination. The sun will set on these prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them.

6 因此，黑夜必笼罩你们， 使你们看不见异象； 幽暗必临到你们， 使你们无法占卜。 太阳要为先知沉落， 白昼变为黑夜。

7 Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God.”

7 先见必抱愧， 占卜者必蒙羞。 因得不到上帝的答复， 你们都必羞愧地捂着脸。”

8 As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the LORD, with justice and courage, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.

8 至于我， 因有耶和华的灵， 我充满权能、正义和力量， 能向雅各宣告他的过犯， 向以色列宣告他的罪恶。

9 Now hear this, O leaders of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and pervert all that is right,

9 雅各家的首领，以色列家的统治者啊， 你们要听！ 你们厌恶正义，颠倒是非；

10 who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity.

10 以血腥建立锡安， 以罪恶建造耶路撒冷。

11 Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets practice divination for money. Yet they lean upon the LORD, saying, “Is not the LORD among us? No disaster can come upon us.”

11 城里的首领为贪赃而枉法， 祭司为银子而施教， 先知为钱财而占卜。 他们却宣称倚靠耶和华，说： “耶和华不是在我们当中吗？ 灾祸不会临到我们。”

12 Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.

12 所以，因你们的缘故， 锡安必被夷为平地， 耶路撒冷必沦为废墟， 圣殿山必成为长满荒林的高岗。
