< 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.
Beseda Gospodova, ki je prišla Miheju Moréšečanu v dneh Jotáma, Aháza in Ezekíja, Judovih kraljev, ki jo je videl glede Samarije in Jeruzalema.
2 Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that is in it: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
»Poslušajte, vsa ve ljudstva, prisluhni, oh zemlja in vsi, ki so na njej, in naj bo Gospod Bog priča zoper vas, Gospod od svojega svetega templja.
3 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth from his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
Kajti glejte, Gospod prihaja iz svojega kraja in bo prišel dol in stopil na visoke kraje zemlje.
4 And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
Gore bodo stopljene pod njim in doline bodo razklane kakor vosek pred ognjem in kakor vode, ki so izlite dol po strmini.
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?
Zaradi Jakobovega prestopka je vse to in zaradi grehov Izraelove hiše. Kaj je Jakobov prestopek? Mar ni Samarija? In kaj so visoki Judovi kraji? Ali niso oni Jeruzalem?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down her stones into the valley, and I will lay bare her foundations.
Zato bom Samarijo naredil kakor kup polja in kakor zasajanje vinograda in njene kamne bom izlil dol v dolino in odkril bom njene temelje.
7 And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with the fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate: for she gathered it from the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
Vse njene rezane podobe bodo stolčene na koščke in vsa njena plačila bodo požgana z ognjem in vse njene malike bom pustil zapuščene, kajti to je zbirala od plačila pocestnice in vrnili se bodo k plačilu pocestnice.
8 Therefore I will wail and weep, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
Zato bom tarnal in tulil, šel bom slečen in nag. Naredil bom tarnanje kakor zmaji in žalovanje kakor sove.
9 For her wound is incurable; for it is come to Judah; he is come to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Kajti njena rana je nezaceljiva, kajti ta je prišla v Juda; prišla je v velika vrata mojega ljudstva, celó do Jeruzalema.
10 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
Tega ne razglasite pri Gatu, sploh ne jokajte. V Bet Leáfri se valjajte v prahu.
11 Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive from you his standing.
Odidi proč, ti prebivalec Šafírja, ki imaš svojo sramoto golo. Prebivalec Caanána ne pridi naprej v žalovanju Bet Ecela; ta bo od vas prejel svojo postojanko.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth became weak waiting for good: but evil came down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
Kajti prebivalec Maróta je skrbno čakal na dobro, toda zlo je prišlo dol od Gospoda k velikim vratom Jeruzalema.
13 O thou 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 thee.
Oh ti prebivalec Lahíša, naprezi bojni voz k hitri živali. Ta je začetek greha sionski hčeri, kajti prestopke Izraela je bilo najti v tebi.
14 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
Zato boš dal darila Moréšet Gatu. Ahzíbove hiše bodo laž Izraelovim kraljem.
15 Yet will I bring an heir to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come to Adullam the glory of Israel.
Vendar bom k tebi privedel dediča, oh prebivalec Marešá. Prišel bo k Adulámu, Izraelovi slavi.
16 Make thee bald, and cut off the hair of thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
Naredi se plešast in ostriži se zaradi svojih prefinjenih otrok. Svojo plešavost povečaj kakor orel, kajti od tebe so odšli v ujetništvo.«
