Micah 1
1 This is the word of the LORD that came to Micah the Moreshite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem:
verbum Domini quod factum est ad Micham Morasthiten in diebus Ioatham Ahaz Ezechiae regum Iuda quod vidit super Samariam et Hierusalem
2 Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth, and everyone in it! May the Lord GOD bear witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.
audite populi omnes et adtendat terra et plenitudo eius et sit Dominus Deus vobis in testem Dominus de templo sancto suo
3 For behold, the LORD comes forth from His dwelling place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
quia ecce Dominus egreditur de loco suo et descendet et calcabit super excelsa terrae
4 The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
et consumentur montes subtus eum et valles scindentur sicut cera a facie ignis sicut aquae quae decurrunt in praeceps
5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob and the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
in scelere Iacob omne istud et in peccatis domus Israhel quod scelus Iacob nonne Samaria et quae excelsa Iudae nonne Hierusalem
6 Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble in the open field, a planting area for a vineyard. I will pour her stones into the valley and expose her foundations.
et ponam Samariam quasi acervum lapidum in agro cum plantatur vinea et detraham in vallem lapides eius et fundamenta eius revelabo
7 All her carved images will be smashed to pieces; all her wages will be burned in the fire, and I will destroy all her idols. Since she collected the wages of a prostitute, they will be used again on a prostitute.
et omnia sculptilia eius concidentur et omnes mercedes eius conburentur igni et omnia idola eius ponam in perditionem quia de mercedibus meretricis congregata sunt et usque ad mercedem meretricis revertentur
8 Because of this I will lament and wail; I will walk barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and mourn like an ostrich.
super hoc plangam et ululabo vadam spoliatus et nudus faciam planctum velut draconum et luctum quasi strutionum
9 For her wound is incurable; it has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem itself.
quia desperata est plaga eius quia venit usque ad Iudam tetigit portam populi mei usque ad Hierusalem
10 Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
in Geth nolite adnuntiare lacrimis ne ploretis in domo Pulveris pulvere vos conspergite
11 Depart in shameful nakedness, O dwellers of Shaphir. The dwellers of Zaanan will not come out. Beth-ezel is in mourning; its support is taken from you.
et transite vobis habitatio Pulchra confusa ignominia non est egressa quae habitat in Exitu planctum domus Vicinae accipiet ex vobis quae stetit sibimet
12 For the dwellers of Maroth pined for good, but calamity came down from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem.
quia infirmata est in bonum quae habitat in Amaritudinibus quia descendit malum a Domino in portam Hierusalem
13 Harness your chariot horses, O dweller of Lachish. You were the beginning of sin to the Daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
tumultus quadrigae stuporis habitanti Lachis principium peccati est filiae Sion quia in te inventa sunt scelera Israhel
14 Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel.
propterea dabit emissarios super hereditatem Geth domus Mendacii in deceptionem regibus Israhel
15 I will again bring a conqueror against you, O dweller of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
adhuc heredem adducam tibi quae habitas in Maresa usque Adollam veniet gloria Israhel
16 Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair in mourning for your precious children; make yourselves as bald as an eagle, for they will go from you into exile.
decalvare et tondere super filios deliciarum tuarum dilata calvitium tuum sicut aquila quoniam captivi ducti sunt ex te
