Mikas 1
1 Herrens Ord, som kom til Moraskthiten Mika i de Dage, da Jotham, Akas, Ezekias vare Konger i Juda, det, som han saa over Samaria og Jerusalem.
The word of Jehovah 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 Hører, I Folk, alle sammen! giv Agt, du Land og dets Fylde! og den Herre, Herre være Vidne imod eder, Herren fra sit hellige Tempel!
Hear, ye peoples, all of you; hearken, O earth, and all that is therein: and let the Lord Jehovah be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple!
3 Thi se, Herren drager ud fra sit Sted, og han stiger ned og skrider frem over Jordens Høje.
For behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 Og Bjergene smelte under ham og Dalene revne, som Voks for Ilden, som Vand, der udøses paa en Skrænt.
And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters poured down a steep place.
5 For Jakobs Overtrædelse sker alt dette og for Israels Hus's Synder; hvo er Skyld i Jakobs Overtrædelse? mon ikke Samaria? og hvo er Skyld i Judas Høje? mon ikke Jerusalem?
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. Whence is the transgression of Jacob? is it not [from] Samaria? And whence are the high places of Judah? are they not [from] Jerusalem?
6 Derfor vil jeg gøre Samaria til en Stenhob paa Marken, til Vingaardsplantninger, og jeg vil adsprede dens Stene ned i Dalen og gøre dens Grundvold bar.
Therefore will I make Samaria as a heap of the field, as plantings of a vineyard; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will lay bare the foundations thereof.
7 Og alle dens udskaarne Billeder skulle sønderslaas, og al dens Bolerløn opbrændes med Ild, og jeg vil ødelægge alle dens Afguder; thi den samlede dem af Bolerløn, og til Bolerløn skulle de atter vorde.
And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her harlot-gifts shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I make a desolation; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered [them], and to a harlot's hire shall they return.
8 Derfor vil jeg klage og hyle, jeg vil gaa blottet og nøgen, jeg vil anstille en Klage som Dragerne og en Sorg som Strudserne.
For this will I lament, and I will howl; I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the jackals, and mourning like the ostriches.
9 Thi dens Saar ere ulægelige; thi det er kommet indtil Juda, det er naaet indtil mit Folks Port, indtil Jerusalem.
For her wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah, it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Kundgører det ikke i Gath, græder ikke saa saare! i Beth-Afra vælter jeg mig i Støv.
Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
11 Drag forbi, du Indbyggerske i Safir, blottet og skamfuld! Indbyggersken i Zaanan gaar ikke ud! Beth-Ezels Klage betager eder Stade der.
Pass away, inhabitress of Shaphir, in nakedness [and] shame. The inhabitress of Zaanan is not come forth for the lamentation of Beth-ezel: he will take from you its shelter.
12 Thi Indbyggersken i Maroth vaande sig i Smerte efter godt; thi ondt er steget ned fra Herren til Jerusalems Port.
For the inhabitress of Maroth waited anxiously for good; but evil hath come down from Jehovah unto the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Spænd Heste for Vognen, du Indbyggerske i Lakis! den var Begyndelse til Synd for Zions Datter; thi i dig ere Israels Overtrædelser fundne.
Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitress of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
14 Derfor skal du give Afkald paa Moresketh-Gath; Aksibs Huse skulle blive et svigtende Vandløb for Israels Konger.
Therefore shalt thou give parting-gifts to Moresheth-Gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 Jeg vil endnu føre en Ejermand til dig, du Indbyggerske i Maresa! til Adullam skal Israels Herlighed komme.
I will yet bring unto thee an heir, O inhabitress of Mareshah; the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam.
16 Gør dig skaldet, og rag dig over de Børn, som ere din Lyst; gør dig bredskaldet som Ørnen, thi de ere bortførte fra dig.
Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delights; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle, for they are gone into captivity from thee.
