Mihej 1
1 Riječ Jahvina, upućena Miheju Morešećaninu u vrijeme Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih. Njegova viđenja o Samariji i o Jeruzalemu.
The word of the Lord which came to Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: his vision about Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Čujte, narodi, vi svi! Slušaj, zemljo, i sve što te ispunja! Gospod Jahve protiv vas će svjedočiti - Gospod iz svetoga Hrama svojega!
Give ear, you peoples, all of you; give attention, O earth and everything in it: let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy Temple.
3 Jer evo: Jahve izlazi iz svetoga mjesta svojega, silazi i hodi po visovima zemaljskim.
For see, the Lord is coming out from his place, and will come down, stepping on the high places of the earth.
4 Gore se rastapaju pod njegovim koracima i doline rasijedaju kao vosak pred ognjem, kao voda što se razlijeva niz obronak.
And the mountains will be turned to water under him, and the deep valleys will be broken open, like wax before the fire, like waters flowing down a slope.
5 Sve je to za zločinstvo Jakovljevo i za grijehe doma Izraelova. Koje je zločinstvo Jakovljevo? Nije li Samarija? Što su uzvišice Judine? Nije li Jeruzalem?
All this is because of the wrongdoing of Jacob and the sins of the children of Israel. What is the wrongdoing of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
6 “Učinit ću od Samarije kamenu gomilu u polju, ledinu za vinograd. Zavaljat ću kamenje njezino u dolinu, otkrit ću joj temelje.
So I will make Samaria into a field and the plantings of a vine-garden: I will send its stones falling down into the valley, uncovering its bases.
7 Razbit će se svi njeni kipovi, sva će joj se plaća bludnička ognjem spaliti, raskomadat ću sve njene idole, jer su od bludničke plaće nakupljeni, i opet će postati plaćom bludničkom.”
And all her pictured images will be hammered into bits, and all the payments for her loose ways will be burned with fire, and all the images of her gods I will make waste: for with the price of a loose woman she got them together, and as the price of a loose woman will they be given back.
8 “Zato ću zakukati i zaridati, ići ću gol i bos, zavijat ću kao šakali, urlikat ću kao nojevi.
For this I will be full of sorrow and give cries of grief; I will go uncovered and unclothed: I will give cries of grief like the jackals and will be in sorrow like the ostriches.
9 Jer njenoj rani nema lijeka, sve do Jude dopire, dotiče Vrata moga naroda, sve do Jeruzalema!
For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Ne objavljujte toga u Gatu, u Akonu nemojte plakati! U Bet Leafri valjajte se u prašini!
Give no word of it in Gath, let there be no weeping at all: at Beth-le-aphrah be rolling in the dust.
11 Odlazi sramotno, stanovnice šafirska! Iz svoga grada nije izašla stanovnica saananska! Bet Haesel iščupan je iz temelja, iz svojih čvrstih osnova.
Be uncovered and go away, you who are living in Shaphir: the one living in Zaanan has not come out of her town; Beth-ezel is taken away from its base, even from its resting-place.
12 Kako se može nadati sreći stanovnica marotska? Jer nesreća silazi od Jahve sve do vrata jeruzalemskih.
For the one living in Maroth is waiting for good: for evil has come down from the Lord to the doorways of Jerusalem.
13 Upregni brze konje u bojna kola, stanovnice lakiška! To je bio početak grijeha Kćeri sionske, jer su se u tebi našla zločinstva Izraelova.
Let the war-carriage be yoked to the quick-running horse, you who are living in Lachish: she was the first cause of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the wrongdoings of Israel were seen in you.
14 Zato ćeš dati otpusnicu Morešet Gatu, domovi će akzipski razočarati kraljeve izraelske.
For this cause give a parting offering to Moresheth-gath: the daughter of Achzib will be a deceit to the king of Israel.
15 Još ću ti dovesti osvajača, stanovnice mareška, stići će do Adulama slava Izraelova.
Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.
16 Čupaj kosu i ostriži se za milom djecom svojom! Postani ćelava kao orao lešinar, jer su izgnana daleko od tebe.”
Let your head be uncovered and your hair cut off in sorrow for the children of your delight: let the hair be pulled from your head like an eagle's; for they have been taken away from you as prisoners.
