| 2:1 | 祸哉、那些在床上图谋罪孽造作奸恶的.天一发亮、因手有能力、就行出来了。 | Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. |
| 2:2 | 他们贪图田地就占据.贪图房屋便夺取.他们欺压人、霸占房屋和产业。 | And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. |
| 2:3 | 所以耶和华如此说、我筹划灾祸降与这族、这祸在你们的颈项上不能解脱、你们也不能昂首而行.因为这时势是恶的。 | Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil. |
| 2:4 | 到那日必有人向你们提起悲惨的哀歌、讥刺说、我们全然败落了.耶和华将我们的分转归别人.何竟使这分离开我们.他将我们的田地分给悖逆的人。 | In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields. |
| 2:5 | 所以在耶和华的会中你必没有人拈阄拉准绳。 | Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD. |
| 2:6 | 他们〔或作假先知〕说、你们不可说预言、不可向这些人说预言、不住地羞辱我们。 | Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame. |
| 2:7 | 雅各家阿、岂可说、耶和华的心不忍耐么.〔或作心肠狭窄么〕这些事是他所行的么。我耶和华的言语、岂不是与行动正直的人有益么。 | O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? |
| 2:8 | 然而近来我的民兴起如仇敌、从那些安然经过不愿打仗之人身上剥去外衣. | Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war. |
| 2:9 | 你们将我民中的妇人、从安乐家中赶出、又将我的荣耀从他们的小孩子尽行夺去。 | The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever. |
| 2:10 | 你们起来去罢.这不是你们安息之所.因为污秽使人〔或作地〕毁灭、而且大大毁灭。 | Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. |
| 2:11 | 若有人心存虚假、用谎言说、我要向你们预言得清酒和浓酒.那人就必作这民的先知。 | If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people. |
| 2:12 | 雅各家阿、我必要聚集你们、必要招聚以色列剩下的人、安置在一处、如波斯拉的羊、又如草场上的羊群.因为人数众多。就必大大喧哗。 | I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. |
| 2:13 | 开路的〔或作破城的〕在他们前面上去.他们直闯过城门、从城门出去.他们的王在前面行、耶和华引导他们。 | The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them. |
