弥3:1 我说：“雅各的首领，你们要听，以色列家的官长，你们也要听；难道你们不知道公平吗？
弥3:1 And I said, Give ear, now, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the people of Israel: is it not for you to have knowledge of what is right?
弥3:2 然而，你们恨恶良善，喜爱邪恶，从人身上剥皮，从人骨头上剔肉。
弥3:2 You who are haters of good and lovers of evil, pulling off their skin from them and their flesh from their bones;
弥3:3 你们吃我民的肉，剥他们的皮，打断他们的骨头，切成像锅里的块，像釜中的肉块。
弥3:3 Like meat they take the flesh of my people for their food, skinning them and crushing their bones, yes, cutting them up as if for the pot, like flesh inside the cooking-pot.
弥3:4 那时，他们要向耶和华呼求，耶和华却不应允他们。到那时，耶和华必掩面不顾他们，因为他们行了恶事。”
弥3:4 Then they will be crying to the Lord for help, but he will not give them an answer: yes, he will keep his face veiled from them at that time, because their acts have been evil.
弥3:5 关于那些使我民走迷路的先知，耶和华这样说：“他们的牙齿有所咀嚼的时候，就大叫‘平安’；谁不把食物给他们吃，他们就攻击那人。”
弥3:5 This is what the Lord has said about the prophets by whom my people have been turned from the right way; who, biting with their teeth, say, Peace; and if anyone puts nothing in their mouths they make ready for war against him.
弥3:6 因此你们只有黑夜，没有异象，只有黑暗，没有默示。对先知，日头要下落，为他们，白日变为黑暗。
弥3:6 For this cause it will be night for you, without a vision; and it will be dark for you, without knowledge of the future; the sun will go down over the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
弥3:7 先见必抱愧，得默示的人要蒙羞；他们都必掩着上唇，因为没有 神的答复。
弥3:7 And the seers will be shamed, and the readers of the future will be at a loss, all of them covering their lips; for there is no answer from God.
弥3:8 至于我，我却借着耶和华的灵，满有力量、公平和能力，可以向雅各述说他的过犯，向以色列指出他的罪恶。
弥3:8 But I truly am full of the spirit of the Lord, with power of judging and with strength to make clear to Jacob his wrongdoing and to Israel his sin.
弥3:9 雅各家的首领，你们要听这个，以色列家的官长，你们也要听；你们厌恶公平，屈枉正直，
弥3:9 Then give ear to this, you heads of the children of Jacob, you rulers of the children of Israel, hating what is right, twisting what is straight.
弥3:10 用人血建锡安，以罪孽造耶路撒冷。
弥3:10 They are building up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil-doing.
弥3:11 城中的首领为贿赂而审判，祭司为薪俸而教导，先知为银子说默示，他们竟倚靠耶和华，说：“耶和华不是在我们中间吗？灾祸必不会临到我们身上。”
弥3:11 Its heads take rewards for judging, and the priests take payment for teaching, and the prophets get silver for reading the future: but still, supporting themselves on the Lord, they say, Is not the Lord among us? no evil will overtake us.
弥3:12 所以，为你们的缘故，锡安必像被耕种的田地，耶路撒冷必变为乱堆，这殿的山要成为丛林中的高冈。
弥3:12 For this reason, Zion will be ploughed like a field because of you, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like a high place in the woods.
