Micah 1
1 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
HERRENs Ord, som, i de Dage da Jotam, Akaz og Ezekias var Konger i Juda, kom til Mika fra. Moresjet, og som han skuede om Samaria og Jerusalem.
2 Hear, you peoples, all of you. Listen, O earth, and all that is in it: and let the LORD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.
Alle I Folkeslag, hør, lyt til, du Jord, med din Fylde, at den Herre HERREN kan stå som Vidne blandt eder, Herren fra sit hellige Tempel.
3 For, look, the LORD comes forth out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
Thi se, fra sit Sted går HERREN ud, stiger ned, skrider frem over Jordens Høje;
4 The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.
under ham smelter Bjerge, og Dale slår dybe Revner, som Voks, der smelter i Ilden, som Vand, gydt ned ad en Skrænt -
5 "All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn't it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren't they Jerusalem?
alt dette for Jakobs Brøde, for Israels Huses Synder. Hvem voldte Jakobs Brøde? Mon ikke Samaria? Hvem voldte Judas Synd? Mon ikke Jerusalem?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.
Samaria gør jeg til Grushob, dets Mark til Vingårdsjord; jeg styrter dets Sten i Dalen, dets Grundvolde bringer jeg for Lyset.
7 All her idols will be beaten to pieces, and all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and all her images I will destroy; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return."
Dets Billeder sønderslås alle, dets Skøgeløn brændes i Ild; jeg tilintetgør alle dets Afguder; thi af Skøgeløn er de samlet, til Skøgeløn bliver de atter.
8 For this I will lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will howl like the jackals, and moan like the daughters of owls.
Derfor vil jeg klage og jamre, gå nøgen med bare Fødder, istemme Klage som Sjakaler, jamrende Skrig som Strudse:
9 For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Ulægeligt er HERRENs Slag, thi det når til Juda, til mit Folks Port rækker det hen, til Jerusalem.
10 Do not tell it in Gath. Do not weep at all. At Beth Leaphrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
Forkynd det ikke i Gat, græd ikke i Bokim! Vælt jer i Støvet i Bet-Leafra!
11 Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won't come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
Der stødes i Horn for eder, Sjafirs Borgere; ej går Za'anans Borgere ud af deres By. Bet-Ezels Lod bliver Klage, Hug og Ve;
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
og hvor kan Marots indbyggere håbe på Lykke? Thi Ulykke kom ned fra HERREN til Jerusalems Porte.
13 Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; For the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
Spænd Hestene for Vognen, I, som bor i Lakisj! Syndens Begyndelse var du for. Zions Datter; ja, Israels Overtrædelser fandtes i dig.
14 Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
Giv derfor Moresjet-Gat en Skilsmissegave! En svigtende Bæk er Akzibs Huse for Israels Konger.
15 I will yet bring to you, inhabitant of Mareshah. He who is the glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
End sender jeg eder en Ransmand, Maresjas Borgere! Til Adullam skal Israels Herlig hed komme.
16 Shave your heads, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture; for they have gone into captivity from you.
Klip dig skaldet over dine elskede. Børn, bredskaldet som en Grib; thi de bortføres fra dig.
