Micah 6

1 Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

1 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 Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:

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， 指控以色列人。

3 ‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!

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 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. I sent Moses before you, as well as Aaron and Miriam.

4 我曾带你们出埃及， 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 My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”

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 With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?

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 Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

7 耶和华岂会喜爱成千的公羊和万条油河？ 我岂可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？

8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

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 The voice of the LORD calls out to the city (and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name): “Heed the rod and the One who ordained it.

9 智者必敬畏耶和华的名， 祂在向耶路撒冷呼喊： “聚在你里面的众人都要听！

10 Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?

10 我岂会忘记恶人家中的不义之财和可恶的小升斗？

11 Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?

11 我岂会放过使用不公道的秤和砝码的人？

12 For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.

12 你的富人残暴成性， 居民谎话连篇， 满口诡诈之言。

13 Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.

13 所以，我要重重地击打你， 因你的罪恶而毁灭你。

14 You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword.

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，我要交给刀剑。

15 You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.

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 You have kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsel. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and your inhabitants an object of contempt; you will bear the scorn of the nations.”

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。”
