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.
Firman TUHAN yang datang kepada Mikha, orang Moresyet, pada zaman Yotam, Ahas dan Hizkia, raja-raja Yehuda, yakni berkenaan dengan yang dilihatnya tentang Samaria dan Yerusalem.
2 Hear, all you people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.
Dengarlah, hai bangsa-bangsa sekalian! Perhatikanlah, hai bumi serta isinya! Biarlah Tuhan ALLAH menjadi saksi terhadap kamu, yakni Tuhan dari bait-Nya yang kudus.
3 For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
Sebab sesungguhnya, TUHAN keluar dari tempat-Nya dan turun berjejak di atas bukit-bukit bumi.
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.
Luluhlah gunung-gunung di bawah kaki-Nya, dan lembah-lembah terbelah seperti lilin di depan api, seperti air tercurah di penurunan.
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?
Semuanya ini terjadi karena pelanggaran Yakub, dan karena dosa kaum Israel. Pelanggaran Yakub itu apa? Bukankah itu Samaria? Dosa kaum Yehuda itu apa? Bukankah itu Yerusalem?
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.
Sebab itu Aku akan membuat Samaria menjadi timbunan puing di padang, menjadi tempat penanaman pohon anggur. Aku akan menggulingkan batu-batunya ke dalam lembah dan akan menyingkapkan dasar-dasarnya.
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.
Segala patungnya akan diremukkan, segala upah sundalnya akan dibakar, dan segala berhalanya akan Kuhancurkan; sebab dari upah sundal dikumpulkan semuanya itu, dan akan kembali menjadi upah sundal.
8 Therefore I will wail and wail, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
Karena inilah aku hendak berkeluh kesah dan meratap, hendak berjalan dengan tidak berkasut dan telanjang, hendak melolong seperti serigala dan meraung seperti burung unta:
9 For her wound is incurable; for it has come unto Judah; he has come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
sebab lukanya tidak dapat sembuh, sudah menjalar ke Yehuda, sudah sampai ke pintu gerbang bangsaku, ke Yerusalem!
10 Declare all of you it not at Gath, weep all of you not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll yourself in the dust.
Di Gat janganlah sampaikan berita, janganlah sekali-kali menangis! Baiklah gulingkan dirimu dalam debu di Bet-Le-Afra!
11 Pass all of 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.
Berkemaslah, hai penduduk Safir, dengan telanjang dan malu. Tidak berani keluar penduduk Zaanan. Ratapan Bet-Haezel menghalangi engkau untuk tetap berdiri.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.
Dengan bimbang penduduk Marot berharap akan kebaikan. Sebab malapetaka turun dari pada TUHAN sampai ke pintu gerbang Yerusalem.
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.
Pasanglah kuda teji pada kereta, hai penduduk Lakhis! Inilah permulaan dosa bagi puteri Sion, sebab padamulah terdapat pelanggaran Israel.
14 Therefore shall you give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
Sebab itu baiklah diberi hadiah perpisahan kepada Moresyet-Gat. Rumah-rumah Akhzib akan menjadi tipu daya bagi raja-raja Israel.
15 Yet will I bring an heir unto you, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
Penakluk masih akan Kudatangkan kepadamu, hai penduduk Maresya! Kemuliaan Israel akan sampai di Adulam.
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.
Cukurlah dan gundulkanlah kepalamu, karena anak-anak kesayanganmu! Jadikanlah kepalamu gundul seperti gundulnya burung bangkai, sebab dari padamu mereka akan masuk pembuangan.
