Micah 7

1 Woe is me! For I am like one gathering summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster to eat, no early fig that I crave.

1 我真悲惨！ 我就像夏天的果子已被收尽， 葡萄已被摘净， 找不到一串可吃的， 寻不见我心中渴望的初熟无花果。

2 The godly man has perished from the earth; there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; they hunt one another with a net.

2 虔敬人已从大地上灭绝， 世间再没有正直人。 人人伺机杀人流血， 用网罗猎取自己的弟兄。

3 Both hands are skilled at evil; the prince and the judge demand a bribe. When the powerful utters his evil desire, they all conspire together.

3 他们善于作恶。 领袖和审判官索要贿赂， 显贵袒露心中的恶欲，朋比为奸。

4 The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a hedge of thorns. The day for your watchmen has come, the day of your visitation. Now is the time of their confusion.

4 他们当中最好的不过是蒺藜， 最正直的也不过是荆棘篱笆。 你们的守望者所说的日子， 就是你们受惩罚的日子已经来到。 你们必惊慌失措。

5 Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.

5 不要相信邻居， 不要信赖朋友， 即使对你怀中的妻子也要守口如瓶。

6 For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household.

6 因为儿子藐视父亲， 女儿与母亲作对， 媳妇与婆婆作对； 家人之间反目成仇。

7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

7 至于我， 我要仰望耶和华， 等候拯救我的上帝； 我的上帝必垂听我的祈求。

8 Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.

8 我的仇敌啊， 你们不要对我幸灾乐祸！ 我虽跌倒，但必再起来； 我虽坐在黑暗里， 但耶和华必做我的光。

9 Because I have sinned against Him, I must endure the rage of the LORD, until He argues my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will see His righteousness.

9 我得罪了耶和华， 所以要承受祂的怒气， 直到祂为我辩护，替我申冤。 祂必领我进入光明， 我必亲睹祂的公义。

10 Then my enemy will see and will be covered with shame—she who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her; at that time she will be trampled like mud in the streets.

10 我的仇敌见状都必满面羞愧， 他们曾问我：“你的上帝耶和华在哪里？” 我必亲眼看见他们遭到报应， 他们要像街上的泥土一样被人践踏。

11 The day for rebuilding your walls will come—the day for extending your boundary.

11 以色列啊， 终有一日你会重建自己的城墙。 到那日，你必扩张自己的疆域。

12 On that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, even from Egypt to the Euphrates, from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.

12 那日，从亚述到埃及的各城， 从埃及到幼发拉底河， 从天涯到海角 ， 人们都要到你这里来。

13 Then the earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as the fruit of their deeds.

13 然而，大地要因地上居民的恶行而荒凉。

14 Shepherd with Your staff Your people, the flock of Your inheritance. They live alone in a woodland, surrounded by pastures. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

14 耶和华啊， 求你用你的杖牧养你的子民， 就是那作你产业的群羊。 他们独自住在林中， 住在肥沃的田园间。 愿他们像从前一样放养在巴珊和基列。

15 As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show My wonders.

15 耶和华说： “我要向他们显出神迹奇事， 就像他们离开埃及时一样。”

16 Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their might. They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become deaf.

16 列国看见这一切， 都必因自己势力衰微而羞愧， 都必用手捂口，耳朵变聋。

17 They will lick the dust like a snake, like reptiles slithering on the ground. They will come trembling from their strongholds in the presence of the LORD our God; they will tremble in fear of You.

17 他们要像蛇一样舔土， 又如地上的爬虫， 战战兢兢地走出营寨； 他们必畏惧我们的上帝耶和华， 他们必对你充满恐惧。

18 Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance—who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion?

18 有何神明像你一样赦免罪恶， 饶恕你幸存子民的过犯？ 你不会永远发怒， 因为你乐于施恩。

19 He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.

19 你必再次怜悯我们， 将我们的罪恶践踏在脚下， 把我们的一切过犯抛进深海。

20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob and loving devotion to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from the days of old.

20 你必按古时给我们列祖的誓言， 以信实待雅各， 以慈爱待亚伯拉罕。
