Mihej 1
1 Riječ Jahvina, upućena Miheju Morešećaninu u vrijeme Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih. Njegova viđenja o Samariji i o Jeruzalemu.
The LORD’s word that came to Micah of Morasheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning 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!
Hear, you peoples, all of you! Listen, O earth, and all that is therein. 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 behold, the LORD comes out of his place, and will come down and tread 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.
The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.
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 for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn’t it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren’t they Jerusalem?
6 “Učinit ću od Samarije kamenu gomilu u polju, ledinu za vinograd. Zavaljat ću kamenje njezino u dolinu, otkrit ću joj temelje.
Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.
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.”
All her idols will be beaten to pieces, all her temple gifts will be burnt with fire, and I will destroy all her images; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.”
8 “Zato ću zakukati i zaridati, ići ću gol i bos, zavijat ću kao šakali, urlikat ću kao nojevi.
For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the ostriches.
9 Jer njenoj rani nema lijeka, sve do Jude dopire, dotiče Vrata moga naroda, sve do Jeruzalema!
For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Ne objavljujte toga u Gatu, u Akonu nemojte plakati! U Bet Leafri valjajte se u prašini!
Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself 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.
Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won’t come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
12 Kako se može nadati sreći stanovnica marotska? Jer nesreća silazi od Jahve sve do vrata jeruzalemskih.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from the LORD to the gate 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.
Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Zato ćeš dati otpusnicu Morešet Gatu, domovi će akzipski razočarati kraljeve izraelske.
Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
15 Još ću ti dovesti osvajača, stanovnice mareška, stići će do Adulama slava Izraelova.
I will yet bring a conqueror to you, inhabitants of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
16 Čupaj kosu i ostriži se za milom djecom svojom! Postani ćelava kao orao lešinar, jer su izgnana daleko od tebe.”
Shave your heads, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture, for they have gone into captivity from you!
