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 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 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, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD 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, the LORD 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 molten 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 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. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what [are] the high places of Judah? [are they] not 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 I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, [and] as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover 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 the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered [it] of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
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.
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9 Thi dens Saar ere ulægelige; thi det er kommet indtil Juda, det er naaet indtil mit Folks Port, indtil Jerusalem.
For her wound [is] incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come 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.
Declare ye [it] not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of 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 ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
12 Thi Indbyggersken i Maroth vaande sig i Smerte efter godt; thi ondt er steget ned fra Herren til Jerusalems Port.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD 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.
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 Derfor skal du give Afkald paa Moresketh-Gath; Aksibs Huse skulle blive et svigtende Vandløb for Israels Konger.
Therefore shalt thou give presents 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.
Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
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 thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
