Micah 1
1 [I am] Micah. I am from [the town of] Moresheth [in Judah]. Yahweh gave me these [messages in] visions about Samaria and Jerusalem during the time when Jotham, [and then] Ahaz, and [then] Hezekiah, were the kings of Judah.
Palavra do SENHOR que veio a Miqueias, o morastita, nos dias de Jotão, Acaz, [e] Ezequias, reis de Judá; que ele viu sobre Samaria e Jerusalém.
2 You people everywhere on the earth, pay attention to this [DOU]! Yahweh our God is accusing you from his holy temple [in heaven].
Ouvi vós todos os povos; presta atenção tu, ó terra, e tudo o que nela há; pois o Senhor DEUS será testemunha contra vós, o Senhor desde seu santo templo.
3 He will come down [from heaven] and walk on the tops of the highest mountains.
Porque eis que SENHOR está saindo de seu lugar, e descerá, e pisará os lugares altos da terra.
4 [It will be as though] the mountains will melt under his [feet] like [SIM] wax [melts] in front of a fire, and like [SIM] water [disappears] when it rushes/flows down into a valley.
E os montes debaixo dele se derreterão, e os vales se fenderão como a cera diante do fogo, como as águas se derramam por um precipício.
5 Those things will happen because of the terrible sins [DOU] that the people [MTY] of Israel, [the descendants of] Jacob, have committed. But it was [RHQ] [the people of] Samaria [city who persuaded all the people of] Israel to sin, and it was [RHQ] because the people of Jerusalem [set up altars to worship their gods] that [the other people of] Judah [were persuaded to worship idols on] their hilltops.
Tudo isto é por causa da transgressão de Jacó e dos pecados da casa de Israel. Qual é a transgressão de Jacó? Não é Samaria? E quais são os altos de Judá? Não é Jerusalém?
6 So Yahweh will cause Samaria to become a heap [of rubble/ruins]; [it will be only] a field for planting vineyards. He will cause the stones of its [buildings] to roll down into the valley, and the foundations [of the buildings] will be uncovered.
Por isso tornarei a Samaria em amontoado de pedras no campo, em plantação de vinhas; e derrubarei suas pedras no vale, e descobrirei seus fundamentos.
7 All the idols in Samaria will be smashed, and the gifts [given to prostitutes at the temples of their idols] will be destroyed in a fire. And because people paid prostitutes there, [their enemies will take away those idols and sell them] to get money to pay to prostitutes [in other countries].
E todas suas imagens de escultura serão esmigalhadas, e todos seus salários de prostituta serão queimados com fogo, e destruirei todos os seus ídolos; porque do salário de prostituta os ajuntou, e para salário de prostituta voltarão.
8 Because [Samaria will be destroyed], I will weep and wail. I will walk around (barefoot/without any sandals on my feet) and naked. I will howl like a jackal/wolf and screech like an owl,
Portanto lamentarei e uivarei, e andarei descalço e nu; farei uivos como de chacais, e lamentos como de filhotes de avestruzes.
9 because Samaria will be completely destroyed [MET]; nothing can save that city. But the same thing will happen to Judah! [It is as though the enemy army] has [already] reached the city gates of Jerusalem, [the main city where] my people [live].
Porque suas feridas são incuráveis, que já chegaram até Judá; [isto] já chegou até a porta do meu povo, até Jerusalém.
10 Do not tell that to [our enemies] in Gath [city in Philistia]! Do not cry, [lest the people there find out what is happening]! [Instead, just] roll in the dirt in Beth-Leaphrah [because the name of that town means ‘house of dust].’
Não anunciai [isto] em Gate, nem choreis tanto; revolve-te no pó em Bete-Le-Afra.
11 You people who live in Shaphir [town, whose name means ‘beautiful],’ naked and ashamed, you will be taken [to another country]. [You people in] Beth-Ezel [town] should mourn, [because] no one from Zaanan [town, whose name means ‘one who goes out],’ will go out to help you.
Passa-te com vergonha descoberta, ó moradora de Safir; a moradora de Zaanã não sai; pranto há em Bete-Ezel; seu apoio foi tomado de vós.
12 [The name of] Maroth [town sounds like ‘bitterness];’ everyone there is anxiously waiting for good things to happen to them, but good things will not happen to them; instead, terrible things are about to happen to them, and it will soon happen at the gates of Jerusalem.
Porque a moradora de Marote anseiam à espera do bem; pois um mal desceu do SENHOR até a porta de Jerusalém.
13 You people of Lachish [city, whose name sounds like ‘team],’ hitch your horses to pull the chariots [in which you can ride to flee from your enemies]. The Israeli people rebelled against Yahweh, and you (imitated them/did the same evil things that they did), and that caused the people of Jerusalem [IDM] to start sinning, too.
Liga os cavalos à carruagem, ó moradora de Laquis (ela é o princípio do pecado à filha de Sião), porque em ti foram achadas as transgressões de Israel.
14 [You people of Judah], send a farewell gift to [the people] of Moresheth [town], [because their enemies will soon destroy it]. [The name of the town Aczib means ‘deception],’ and the kings of Israel [will soon find out that the people of that town] will deceive them.
Portanto, tu darás presentes de despedida a Moresete-Gate; as casas de Aczibe serão enganosas aos reis de Israel.
15 [The name of your town of] Mareshah [means ‘conqueror],’ and Yahweh will [soon] send someone to conquer your town. [It will be necessary for] the great/glorious leaders of Israel to go [and hide in the cave at] Adullam [city].
Ainda trarei a ti um conquistador, ó moradora de Maressa; a glória de Israel virá até Adulão.
16 [You people of Judah], shave your heads [while you will be mourning], because your children whom you love will [soon] be (exiled/forced to leave you and go to another country).
Faz em ti calva, e rapa-te por causa dos filhos a quem gostavas; aumenta tua calva como a águia; porque foram levados de ti em cativeiro.
