Micah 1
1 A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Micah the Morashite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, that he hath seen 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, O peoples, all of them! Attend, O earth, and its fulness, And the Lord Jehovah is against you for a witness, 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 lo, Jehovah is going out from His place, And He hath come down, And hath trodden on high places of earth.
Thi se, fra sit Sted går HERREN ud, stiger ned, skrider frem over Jordens Høje;
4 Melted have been the mountains under Him, And the valleys do rend themselves, As wax from the presence of fire, As waters cast down by a slope.
under ham smelter Bjerge, og Dale slår dybe Revner, som Voks, der smelter i Ilden, som Vand, gydt ned ad en Skrænt -
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 the high places of Judah? Is it not 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 And I have set Samaria for a heap of the field, For plantations of a vineyard, And poured out into a valley her stones, And her foundations I uncover.
Samaria gør jeg til Grushob, dets Mark til Vingårdsjord; jeg styrter dets Sten i Dalen, dets Grundvolde bringer jeg for Lyset.
7 And all her graven images are beaten down, And all her gifts are burnt with fire, And all her idols I make a desolation, For, from the hire of a harlot she gathered, and unto the hire of a harlot 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 lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an ostrich.
Derfor vil jeg klage og jamre, gå nøgen med bare Fødder, istemme Klage som Sjakaler, jamrende Skrig som Strudse:
9 For mortal [are] her wounds, For it hath come unto Judah, It hath come to a gate of My people — to Jerusalem.
Ulægeligt er HERRENs Slag, thi det når til Juda, til mit Folks Port rækker det hen, til Jerusalem.
10 In Gath tell ye not — in Acco weep not, In Beth-Aphrah, in dust roll thyself.
Forkynd det ikke i Gat, græd ikke i Bokim! Vælt jer i Støvet i Bet-Leafra!
11 Pass over for thee, O inhabitant of Shaphir, Naked one of shame. Not gone out hath the inhabitant of Zaanan, The lamentation of Beth-Ezel doth take from you its standing.
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 stayed for good hath the inhabitant of Maroth, For evil hath come down from Jehovah to the gate of Jerusalem.
og hvor kan Marots indbyggere håbe på Lykke? Thi Ulykke kom ned fra HERREN til Jerusalems Porte.
13 Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish, The beginning of sin [is] she to the daughter of Zion, For in thee have been found the transgressions of Israel.
Spænd Hestene for Vognen, I, som bor i Lakisj! Syndens Begyndelse var du for. Zions Datter; ja, Israels Overtrædelser fandtes i dig.
14 Therefore thou givest presents to Moresheth-Gath, The houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel.
Giv derfor Moresjet-Gat en Skilsmissegave! En svigtende Bæk er Akzibs Huse for Israels Konger.
15 Yet the possessor I do bring in to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, To Adullam come in doth the honour of Israel.
End sender jeg eder en Ransmand, Maresjas Borgere! Til Adullam skal Israels Herlig hed komme.
16 Make bald and shave, for thy delightful sons, Enlarge thy baldness as an eagle, For they have removed from thee!
Klip dig skaldet over dine elskede. Børn, bredskaldet som en Grib; thi de bortføres fra dig.
