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:
Riječ Jahvina, upućena Miheju Morešećaninu u vrijeme Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih. Njegova viđenja o Samariji i o Jeruzalemu.
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.
Čujte, narodi, vi svi! Slušaj, zemljo, i sve što te ispunja! Gospod Jahve protiv vas će svjedočiti - Gospod iz svetoga Hrama svojega!
3 For behold, the LORD comes forth from His dwelling place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
Jer evo: Jahve izlazi iz svetoga mjesta svojega, silazi i hodi po visovima zemaljskim.
4 The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
Gore se rastapaju pod njegovim koracima i doline rasijedaju kao vosak pred ognjem, kao voda što se razlijeva niz obronak.
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?
Sve je to za zločinstvo Jakovljevo i za grijehe doma Izraelova. Koje je zločinstvo Jakovljevo? Nije li Samarija? Što su uzvišice Judine? Nije li Jeruzalem?
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.
“Učinit ću od Samarije kamenu gomilu u polju, ledinu za vinograd. Zavaljat ću kamenje njezino u dolinu, otkrit ću joj temelje.
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.
Razbit će se svi njeni kipovi, sva će joj se plaća bludnička ognjem spaliti, raskomadat ću sve njene idole, jer su od bludničke plaće nakupljeni, i opet će postati plaćom bludničkom.”
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.
“Zato ću zakukati i zaridati, ići ću gol i bos, zavijat ću kao šakali, urlikat ću kao nojevi.
9 For her wound is incurable; it has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem itself.
Jer njenoj rani nema lijeka, sve do Jude dopire, dotiče Vrata moga naroda, sve do Jeruzalema!
10 Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
Ne objavljujte toga u Gatu, u Akonu nemojte plakati! U Bet Leafri valjajte se u prašini!
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.
Odlazi sramotno, stanovnice šafirska! Iz svoga grada nije izašla stanovnica saananska! Bet Haesel iščupan je iz temelja, iz svojih čvrstih osnova.
12 For the dwellers of Maroth pined for good, but calamity came down from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem.
Kako se može nadati sreći stanovnica marotska? Jer nesreća silazi od Jahve sve do vrata jeruzalemskih.
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.
Upregni brze konje u bojna kola, stanovnice lakiška! To je bio početak grijeha Kćeri sionske, jer su se u tebi našla zločinstva Izraelova.
14 Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel.
Zato ćeš dati otpusnicu Morešet Gatu, domovi će akzipski razočarati kraljeve izraelske.
15 I will again bring a conqueror against you, O dweller of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
Još ću ti dovesti osvajača, stanovnice mareška, stići će do Adulama slava Izraelova.
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.
Čupaj kosu i ostriži se za milom djecom svojom! Postani ćelava kao orao lešinar, jer su izgnana daleko od tebe.”
