Micah 1
1 The LORD’s word that came to Micah of Morasheth 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, you peoples, all of you! Listen, O earth, and all that is therein. 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 out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
Sebab sesungguhnya, TUHAN keluar dari tempat-Nya dan turun berjejak di atas bukit-bukit bumi.
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.
Luluhlah gunung-gunung di bawah kaki-Nya, dan lembah-lembah terbelah seperti lilin di depan api, seperti air tercurah di penurunan.
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?
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 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.
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 All her idols will be beaten to pieces, all her temple gifts will be burnt with fire, and I will destroy all her images; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute 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 I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the 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 her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to 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 Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
Di Gat janganlah sampaikan berita, janganlah sekali-kali menangis! Baiklah gulingkan dirimu dalam debu di Bet-Le-Afra!
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.
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 waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
Dengan bimbang penduduk Marot berharap akan kebaikan. Sebab malapetaka turun dari pada TUHAN sampai ke pintu gerbang Yerusalem.
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.
Pasanglah kuda teji pada kereta, hai penduduk Lakhis! Inilah permulaan dosa bagi puteri Sion, sebab padamulah terdapat pelanggaran Israel.
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.
Sebab itu baiklah diberi hadiah perpisahan kepada Moresyet-Gat. Rumah-rumah Akhzib akan menjadi tipu daya bagi raja-raja Israel.
15 I will yet bring a conqueror to you, inhabitants of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
Penakluk masih akan Kudatangkan kepadamu, hai penduduk Maresya! Kemuliaan Israel akan sampai di Adulam.
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!
Cukurlah dan gundulkanlah kepalamu, karena anak-anak kesayanganmu! Jadikanlah kepalamu gundul seperti gundulnya burung bangkai, sebab dari padamu mereka akan masuk pembuangan.
