Micah 1
1 The word of Yahweh which came unto Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, —of which he had vision 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 ye peoples, all of you, Hearken, O earth and the fulness thereof, —and let My Lord Yahweh be among you for a witness, My Lord out of 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 lo! Yahweh, coming forth out of his place, —that he may descend, and march along upon the high places of the earth.
Sebab sesungguhnya, TUHAN keluar dari tempat-Nya dan turun berjejak di atas bukit-bukit bumi.
4 Then shall the mountains be melted beneath him, and, the valleys, be cleft, —as wax before the fire, as waters poured out in 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 sin of the house of Israel, —Whose is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria’s? And whose is the sin of Judah? Is it 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 will I make of Samaria a heap in a field, the plantings in a vineyard, —and I will pour down, into the valley, her stones, and, her foundations, will I lay bare;
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 her images, shall be beaten in pieces, and, all her rewards for unchastity, shall be burned in the fire, and, all her idols, will I make a desolation, —for, out of the reward of unchastity, she gathered [them], and, unto the reward of unchastity, shall they return.
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 For this cause, will I lament and howl, I will go stript and bare, —I will make a lamentation, like the wild dogs, and a mourning, like ostriches.
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 dangerous are her wounds, —for she hath come as far as Judah, she hath reached as far as the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem.
sebab lukanya tidak dapat sembuh, sudah menjalar ke Yehuda, sudah sampai ke pintu gerbang bangsaku, ke Yerusalem!
10 In Gath, do not tell, in Accho, do not weep, —in Beth-l’aphrah, roll yourselves in dust.
Di Gat janganlah sampaikan berita, janganlah sekali-kali menangis! Baiklah gulingkan dirimu dalam debu di Bet-Le-Afra!
11 Pass thou over (for you), thou inhabitress of Shaphir, of disgraceful disclosure, —the inhabitress of Zaanan, hath not gone forth, at the lamentation of Beth-ezel, shall he take from you his station,
Berkemaslah, hai penduduk Safir, dengan telanjang dan malu. Tidak berani keluar penduduk Zaanan. Ratapan Bet-Haezel menghalangi engkau untuk tetap berdiri.
12 Though the inhabitress of Maroth waited for blessing, —yet there came down calamity from Yahweh, to the gate of Jerusalem.
Dengan bimbang penduduk Marot berharap akan kebaikan. Sebab malapetaka turun dari pada TUHAN sampai ke pintu gerbang Yerusalem.
13 Bind the chariot to the steed, O inhabitress of Lachish, —the beginning of sin, was she to the daughter of Zion, for, in thee, have been found the transgressions of Israel.
Pasanglah kuda teji pada kereta, hai penduduk Lakhis! Inilah permulaan dosa bagi puteri Sion, sebab padamulah terdapat pelanggaran Israel.
14 Therefore, shalt thou give a dismission, against Moresheth-gath, —The houses of Achzib, served for a deception 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 The time shall yet be when, the heir, I will bring unto thee, O inhabitress of Mareshah, —as far as Adullam, shall enter the glory of Israel.
Penakluk masih akan Kudatangkan kepadamu, hai penduduk Maresya! Kemuliaan Israel akan sampai di Adulam.
16 Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair, for the children of thy pleasures, —enlarge thy baldness, like a vulture, for they are exiled from thee.
Cukurlah dan gundulkanlah kepalamu, karena anak-anak kesayanganmu! Jadikanlah kepalamu gundul seperti gundulnya burung bangkai, sebab dari padamu mereka akan masuk pembuangan.
