Micah 1
1 The word of Jehovah that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning 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, ye peoples, all of you; hearken, O earth, and all that is therein: and let the Lord Jehovah be 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, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
Jer evo: Jahve izlazi iz svetoga mjesta svojega, silazi i hodi po visovima zemaljskim.
4 And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters poured down a steep place.
Gore se rastapaju pod njegovim koracima i doline rasijedaju kao vosak pred ognjem, kao voda što se razlijeva niz obronak.
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. Whence is the transgression of Jacob? is it not [from] Samaria? And whence are the high places of Judah? are they not [from] 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 will I make Samaria as a heap of the field, as plantings of a vineyard; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will lay bare the foundations thereof.
“Učinit ću od Samarije kamenu gomilu u polju, ledinu za vinograd. Zavaljat ću kamenje njezino u dolinu, otkrit ću joj temelje.
7 And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her harlot-gifts shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I make a desolation; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered [them], and to a harlot's hire shall they return.
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 For this will I lament, and I will howl; I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the jackals, and mourning like the ostriches.
“Zato ću zakukati i zaridati, ići ću gol i bos, zavijat ću kao šakali, urlikat ću kao nojevi.
9 For her wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah, it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Jer njenoj rani nema lijeka, sve do Jude dopire, dotiče Vrata moga naroda, sve do Jeruzalema!
10 Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
Ne objavljujte toga u Gatu, u Akonu nemojte plakati! U Bet Leafri valjajte se u prašini!
11 Pass away, inhabitress of Shaphir, in nakedness [and] shame. The inhabitress of Zaanan is not come forth for the lamentation of Beth-ezel: he will take from you its shelter.
Odlazi sramotno, stanovnice šafirska! Iz svoga grada nije izašla stanovnica saananska! Bet Haesel iščupan je iz temelja, iz svojih čvrstih osnova.
12 For the inhabitress of Maroth waited anxiously for good; but evil hath come down from Jehovah unto the gate of Jerusalem.
Kako se može nadati sreći stanovnica marotska? Jer nesreća silazi od Jahve sve do vrata jeruzalemskih.
13 Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitress of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
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 shalt thou give parting-gifts to Moresheth-Gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
Zato ćeš dati otpusnicu Morešet Gatu, domovi će akzipski razočarati kraljeve izraelske.
15 I will yet bring unto thee an heir, O inhabitress of Mareshah; the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam.
Još ću ti dovesti osvajača, stanovnice mareška, stići će do Adulama slava Izraelova.
16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delights; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle, for they are gone into captivity from thee.
Čupaj kosu i ostriži se za milom djecom svojom! Postani ćelava kao orao lešinar, jer su izgnana daleko od tebe.”
