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 that came to Micah the Morasthite 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, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that is in it: and 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 cometh forth from his place, and will come down, and tread upon 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 shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the 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?
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression 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.
Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down her stones into the valley, and I will lay bare her 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.”
And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with the fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate: for she gathered it from the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
8 “Zato ću zakukati i zaridati, ići ću gol i bos, zavijat ću kao šakali, urlikat ću kao nojevi.
Therefore I will wail and weep, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9 Jer njenoj rani nema lijeka, sve do Jude dopire, dotiče Vrata moga naroda, sve do Jeruzalema!
For her wound is incurable; for it is come to Judah; he is come 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!
Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself 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 ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive from you his standing.
12 Kako se može nadati sreći stanovnica marotska? Jer nesreća silazi od Jahve sve do vrata jeruzalemskih.
For the inhabitant of Maroth became weak waiting for good: but evil came 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.
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
14 Zato ćeš dati otpusnicu Morešet Gatu, domovi će akzipski razočarati kraljeve izraelske.
Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 Još ću ti dovesti osvajača, stanovnice mareška, stići će do Adulama slava Izraelova.
Yet will I bring an heir to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come to Adullam the glory of Israel.
16 Čupaj kosu i ostriži se za milom djecom svojom! Postani ćelava kao orao lešinar, jer su izgnana daleko od tebe.”
Make thee bald, and cut off the hair of thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
