1 A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power.2 They have a desire for fields and take them by force; and for houses and take them away: they are cruel to a man and his family, even to a man and his heritage.3 For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.4 In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.5 For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.6 Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!7 Is the Lord quickly made angry? are these his doings? do not his words do good to his people Israel?8 As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war.9 The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever.10 Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.11 If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.12 I will certainly make all of you, O Jacob, come together; I will get together the rest of Israel; I will put them together like the sheep in their circle: like a flock in their green field; they will be full of the noise of men.13 The opener of the way will go up before them: forcing their way out they will go on to the doorway and out through it: their king will go on before them, and the Lord at their head.

1 那些在床上图谋不义， 并且行恶的人有祸了！ 因为他们的手有力量， 天一亮， 就作出来了。 2 他们要田地， 就去抢夺； 想要房屋， 就去强取。他们欺压人和他的家眷， 取人和人的产业。 3 因此耶和华这样说： 看哪！ 我策划灾祸攻击这家族， 你们无法缩起颈项避开这灾祸。你们不能昂首而行（"昂首而行"或译： "高视阔步"）； 因为这是个灾难的时代。 4 到那日， 必有人作歌讽刺你们， 唱悲伤的哀歌， 说： "我们彻底被毁灭了， 我子民分内的产业， 他竟转给别人了； 他怎可从我这里挪去， 把我们的田地分给掳掠我们的人（"分给掳掠我们的人"或译： "分给背道的人"）！ " 5 因此你在耶和华的会众中， 必没有抽签拉准绳的人了。 6 有人预言说： "你们不要说预言； 人不可预言这些事； 羞耻不会临到我们。" 7 雅各家啊！ 人怎可说： "耶和华的心着急， 不能忍耐呢？这些是他的作为吗？"我耶和华的话对行事正直的人不是有益的吗？ 8 你们却像仇敌一样， 起来攻击我的子民（"你们却像仇敌一样， 起来攻击我的子民"或译： "然而， 我的子民竟兴起来像仇敌一样"）； 你们竟从安详过路的人身上剥去衣服， 从不愿作战的人身上剥去外衣。 9 你们把我民中的妇女赶逐， 离开欢乐的家园； 你们把我的尊荣， 从她们的婴孩身上夺去， 直到永远。 10 起来， 走吧！ 这不是你们安息之地； 你们因为不洁净的缘故， 必被毁灭， 是不可挽救的毁灭。 11 若有人随从虚假的心， 撒谎说： "我要向你们说清酒和烈酒的预言。"那人就是这民的预言家了。 12 雅各家啊！ 我必召集你们所有的人， 聚集以色列的余民； 我要把他们安置在一起， 像羊在羊圈里， 像群羊远离了人， 在草场上喧哗。 13 开路的人领先上去； 他们开路， 闯门进入， 又从门里出来； 他们的王在他们面前走过， 耶和华领导他们。
