Micah 5

1 Now, O daughter of troops, mobilize your troops; for a siege is laid against us! With a rod they will strike the cheek of the judge of Israel.

1 耶路撒冷的居民 啊， 现在你们要调集军队！ 敌人正四面围攻我们， 要用杖击打以色列首领的脸颊。

2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come forth for Me One to be ruler over Israel—One whose origins are of old, from the days of eternity.

2 以法他的伯利恒啊， 你在犹大各城中毫不起眼， 但将有一位从你那里出来， 为我统治以色列； 祂的根源自亘古，来自太初。

3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned until she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of His brothers will return to the children of Israel.

3 因此，耶和华要将以色列人交给他们的敌人， 直到那临盆的妇人生下儿子。 那时，祂流亡的弟兄将重返他们的以色列同胞那里。

4 He will stand and shepherd His flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majestic name of the LORD His God. And they will dwell securely, for then His greatness will extend to the ends of the earth.

4 祂要挺身而起， 倚靠耶和华的能力， 奉祂上帝耶和华的威名牧养祂的群羊。 他们将安然居住， 因为那时祂必受尊崇，直达地极。

5 And He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land and tramples our citadels. We will raise against it seven shepherds, even eight leaders of men.

5 祂必给他们带来平安！ 亚述人侵略我们的国土、践踏我们的宫殿时， 我们将选立七位牧者和八位首领抗击他们。

6 And they will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the blade drawn. So He will deliver us when Assyria invades our land and marches into our borders.

6 他们要用刀剑统治亚述，统治宁录地区。 亚述人侵入我们国境、践踏我们疆土时， 祂必拯救我们。

7 Then the remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, which do not wait for man or linger for mankind.

7 雅各余剩的子孙将在万民中像从耶和华那里降下的雨露， 又像洒在草上的甘霖。 他们不依靠人， 不冀望于世人。

8 Then the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which tramples and tears as it passes through, with no one to rescue them.

8 在各国各民中， 雅各余剩的子孙犹如林间百兽中的狮子， 又像闯入羊群的猛狮， 将猎物扑倒撕碎， 无人能搭救。

9 Your hand will be lifted over your foes, and all your enemies will be cut off.

9 愿你们伸手战胜仇敌！ 愿你们的仇敌都被铲除！

10 “In that day,” declares the LORD, “I will remove your horses from among you and wreck your chariots.

10 耶和华说： “到那日， 我要消灭你们的战马， 毁坏你们的战车。

11 I will remove the cities of your land and tear down all your strongholds.

11 我要摧毁你们境内的城邑， 拆除你们所有的堡垒。

12 I will cut the sorceries from your hand, and you will have no fortune-tellers.

12 我要除掉你们手中的巫术， 使你们那里不再有占卜的。

13 I will also cut off the carved images and sacred pillars from among you, so that you will no longer bow down to the work of your own hands.

13 我要从你们中间除去雕刻的神像和神柱， 使你们不再跪拜自己所造的。

14 I will root out the Asherah poles from your midst and demolish your cities.

14 我要从你们中间铲除亚舍拉神像， 毁灭你们的城邑。

15 I will take vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that have not obeyed Me.”

15 我要在烈怒中报应那些不听从我的国家。”
