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 Jehovah that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Alle I Folkeslag, hør, lyt til, du Jord, med din Fylde, at den Herre HERREN kan stå som Vidne blandt eder, Herren fra sit hellige Tempel.
Hear, ye peoples, all of you. Hearken, O earth, and all who are in it, and let the Lord Jehovah be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 Thi se, fra sit Sted går HERREN ud, stiger ned, skrider frem over Jordens Høje;
For, behold, Jehovah comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 under ham smelter Bjerge, og Dale slår dybe Revner, som Voks, der smelter i Ilden, som Vand, gydt ned ad en Skrænt -
And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be split, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 alt dette for Jakobs Brøde, for Israels Huses Synder. Hvem voldte Jakobs Brøde? Mon ikke Samaria? Hvem voldte Judas Synd? Mon ikke Jerusalem?
All this is for the transgression of Jacob, 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 Samaria gør jeg til Grushob, dets Mark til Vingårdsjord; jeg styrter dets Sten i Dalen, dets Grundvolde bringer jeg for Lyset.
Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, and as places for planting vineyards. And I will pour down the stones of it into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations of it.
7 Dets Billeder sønderslås alle, dets Skøgeløn brændes i Ild; jeg tilintetgør alle dets Afguder; thi af Skøgeløn er de samlet, til Skøgeløn bliver de atter.
And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces. And all her wages shall be burned with fire, and I will lay desolate all her idols. For she has gathered them from the wages of a harlot, and to the wage of a harlot they shall return.
8 Derfor vil jeg klage og jamre, gå nøgen med bare Fødder, istemme Klage som Sjakaler, jamrende Skrig som Strudse:
For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a lamentation like the ostriches.
9 Ulægeligt er HERRENs Slag, thi det når til Juda, til mit Folks Port rækker det hen, til Jerusalem.
For her wounds are incurable. For it has come even to Judah. it reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Forkynd det ikke i Gat, græd ikke i Bokim! Vælt jer i Støvet i Bet-Leafra!
Tell it not in Gath. Weep not at all. I have rolled myself in the dust at Beth-le-aphrah.
11 Der stødes i Horn for eder, Sjafirs Borgere; ej går Za'anans Borgere ud af deres By. Bet-Ezels Lod bliver Klage, Hug og Ve;
Pass away, O inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan has not come forth. The wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the stay of it.
12 og hvor kan Marots indbyggere håbe på Lykke? Thi Ulykke kom ned fra HERREN til Jerusalems Porte.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Jehovah to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Spænd Hestene for Vognen, I, som bor i Lakisj! Syndens Begyndelse var du for. Zions Datter; ja, Israels Overtrædelser fandtes i dig.
Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin 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 thou shall give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath. The houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
15 End sender jeg eder en Ransmand, Maresjas Borgere! Til Adullam skal Israels Herlig hed komme.
I will yet bring to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him who shall possess thee. The glory of Israel shall come even to Adullam.
16 Klip dig skaldet over dine elskede. Børn, bredskaldet som en Grib; thi de bortføres fra dig.
Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair for the sons of thy delight. Enlarge thy baldness as the vulture, for they have gone into captivity from thee.
