Micah 1
1 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Herrens Ord, som kom til Moraskthiten Mika i de Dage, da Jotham, Akas, Ezekias vare Konger i Juda, det, som han saa over Samaria og Jerusalem.
2 Hear, all you people; listen, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.
Hører, I Folk, alle sammen! giv Agt, du Land og dets Fylde! og den Herre, Herre være Vidne imod eder, Herren fra sit hellige Tempel!
3 For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread on the high places of the earth.
Thi se, Herren drager ud fra sit Sted, og han stiger ned og skrider frem over Jordens Høje.
4 And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
Og Bjergene smelte under ham og Dalene revne, som Voks for Ilden, som Vand, der udøses paa en Skrænt.
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, 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?
For Jakobs Overtrædelse sker alt dette og for Israels Hus's Synder; hvo er Skyld i Jakobs Overtrædelse? mon ikke Samaria? og hvo er Skyld i Judas Høje? mon ikke Jerusalem?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
Derfor vil jeg gøre Samaria til en Stenhob paa Marken, til Vingaardsplantninger, og jeg vil adsprede dens Stene ned i Dalen og gøre dens Grundvold bar.
7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
Og alle dens udskaarne Billeder skulle sønderslaas, og al dens Bolerløn opbrændes med Ild, og jeg vil ødelægge alle dens Afguder; thi den samlede dem af Bolerløn, og til Bolerløn skulle de atter vorde.
8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
Derfor vil jeg klage og hyle, jeg vil gaa blottet og nøgen, jeg vil anstille en Klage som Dragerne og en Sorg som Strudserne.
9 For her wound is incurable; for it is come to Judah; he is come to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Thi dens Saar ere ulægelige; thi det er kommet indtil Juda, det er naaet indtil mit Folks Port, indtil Jerusalem.
10 Declare you it not at Gath, weep you not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll yourself in the dust.
Kundgører det ikke i Gath, græder ikke saa saare! i Beth-Afra vælter jeg mig i Støv.
11 Pass you away, you inhabitant of Saphir, having your shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
Drag forbi, du Indbyggerske i Safir, blottet og skamfuld! Indbyggersken i Zaanan gaar ikke ud! Beth-Ezels Klage betager eder Stade der.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
Thi Indbyggersken i Maroth vaande sig i Smerte efter godt; thi ondt er steget ned fra Herren til Jerusalems Port.
13 O you inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
Spænd Heste for Vognen, du Indbyggerske i Lakis! den var Begyndelse til Synd for Zions Datter; thi i dig ere Israels Overtrædelser fundne.
14 Therefore shall you give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
Derfor skal du give Afkald paa Moresketh-Gath; Aksibs Huse skulle blive et svigtende Vandløb for Israels Konger.
15 Yet will I bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come to Adullam the glory of Israel.
Jeg vil endnu føre en Ejermand til dig, du Indbyggerske i Maresa! til Adullam skal Israels Herlighed komme.
16 Make you bald, and poll you for your delicate children; enlarge your baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from you.
Gør dig skaldet, og rag dig over de Børn, som ere din Lyst; gør dig bredskaldet som Ørnen, thi de ere bortførte fra dig.
