Mikas 1
1 HERRENS Ord, som, i de Dage da Jotam, Akaz og Ezekias var Konger i Juda, kom til Mika fra Moresjet, og som han skuede om Samaria og Jerusalem.
The word of the Lord, that came vnto Micah the Morashite in the dayes of Iotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah, which he sawe concerning Samaria, and Ierusalem.
2 Alle I Folkeslag, hør, lyt til, du Jord, med din Fylde, at den Herre HERREN kan staa som Vidne blandt eder, Herren fra sit hellige Tempel.
Heare, al ye people: hearke thou, O earth, and all that therein is, and let the Lord God be witnes against you, euen ye Lord from his holy Teple.
3 Thi se, fra sit Sted gaar HERREN ud, stiger ned, skrider frem over Jordens Høje;
For beholde, the Lord commeth out of his place, and will come downe, and tread vpon the hie places of the earth.
4 under ham smelter Bjerge, og Dale slaar dybe Revner, som Voks, der smelter i Ilden, som Vand, gydt ned ad en Skrænt —
And the mountaines shall melt vnder him (so shall the valleys cleaue) as waxe before the fire, and as the waters that are powred downewarde.
5 alt dette for Jakobs Brøde, for Israels Huses Synder. Hvem voldte Jakobs Brøde? Mon ikke Samaria? Hvem voldte Judas Synd? Mon ikke Jerusalem?
For the wickednes of Iaakob is all this, and for the sinnes of the house of Israel: what is the wickednes of Iaakob? Is not Samaria? and which are the hie places of Iudah? Is not Ierusalem?
6 Samaria gør jeg til Grushob, dets Mark til Vingaardsjord; jeg styrter dets Sten i Dalen, dets Grundvolde bringer jeg for Lyset.
Therefore I wil make Samaria as an heape of the fielde, and for the planting of a vineyard, and I will cause the stones thereof to tumble downe into the valley, and I will discouer the foundations thereof.
7 Dets Billeder sønderslaas alle, dets Skøgeløn brændes i Ild; jeg tilintetgør alle dets Afguder; thi af Skøgeløn er de samlet, til Skøgeløn bliver de atter.
And all the grauen images thereof shalbe broken, and all the giftes thereof shalbe burnt with the fire, and all the idoles thereof will I destroy: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall returne to the wages of an harlot.
8 Derfor vil jeg klage og jamre, gaa nøgen med bare Fødder, istemme Klage som Sjakaler, jamrende Skrig som Strudse:
Therefore I will mourne and howle: I wil goe without clothes, and naked: I will make lamentation like the dragons, and mourning as the ostriches.
9 Ulægeligt er HERRENS Slag, thi det naar til Juda, til mit Folks Port rækker det hen, til Jerusalem.
For her plagues are grieuous: for it is come into Iudah: the enemie is come vnto the gate of my people, vnto Ierusalem.
10 Forkynd det ikke i Gat, græd ikke i Bokim! Vælt jer i Støvet i Bet-Leafra!
Declare ye it not at Gath, neither weepe ye: for the house of Aphrah roule thy selfe in the dust.
11 Der stødes i Horn for eder, Sjafirs Borgere; ej gaar Za'anans Borgere ud af deres By. Bet-Ezels Lod bliver Klage, Hug og Ve;
Thou that dwellest at Shaphir, go together naked with shame: she that dwelleth at Zaanan, shall not come forth in ye mourning of Beth-ezel: the enemie shall receiue of you for his standing.
12 og hvor kan Marots Indbyggere haabe paa Lykke? Thi Ulykke kom ned fra HERREN til Jerusalems Porte.
For the inhabitant of Maroth wayted for good, but euill came from the Lord vnto the gate of Ierusalem.
13 Spænd Hestene for Vognen, I, som bor i Lakisj! Syndens Begyndelse var du for Zions Datter; ja, Israels Overtrædelser fandtes i dig.
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, binde the charet to the beastes of price: she is the beginning of the sinne to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
14 Giv derfor Moresjet-Gat en Skilsmissegave! En svigtende Bæk er Akzibs Huse for Israels Konger.
Therefore shalt thou giue presents to Moresheth Gath: the houses of Achzib shalbe as a lye to the Kings of Israel.
15 End sender jeg eder en Ransmand, Maresjas Borgere! Til Adullam skal Israels Herlighed komme.
Yet will I bring an heire vnto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, he shall come vnto Adullam, the glorie of Israel.
16 Klip dig skaldet over dine elskede Børn, bredskaldet som en Grib; thi de bortføres fra dig.
Make thee balde: and shaue thee for thy delicate children: enlarge thy baldenesse as the eagle, for they are gone into captiuity from thee.
