מיכה 1
| דְּבַר־יְהֹוָה ׀ אֲשֶׁר הָיָה אֶל־מִיכָה הַמֹּרַשְׁתִּי בִּימֵי יוֹתָם אָחָז יְחִזְקִיָּה מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר־חָזָה עַל־שֹׁמְרוֹן וִירֽוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ | 1 |
The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Moreshethite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw about Samaria and Jerusalem.
| שִׁמְעוּ עַמִּים כֻּלָּם הַקְשִׁיבִי אֶרֶץ וּמְלֹאָהּ וִיהִי אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה בָּכֶם לְעֵד אֲדֹנָי מֵהֵיכַל קׇדְשֽׁוֹ׃ | 2 |
All peoples, listen. And may the earth and its fullness pay attention. And may the Lord God be a witness to you, the Lord from his holy temple.
| כִּֽי־הִנֵּה יְהֹוָה יֹצֵא מִמְּקוֹמוֹ וְיָרַד וְדָרַךְ עַל־[בָּמֳתֵי] (במותי) אָֽרֶץ׃ | 3 |
For behold, the Lord will go forth from his place. And he will descend, and he will trample over the high places of the earth.
| וְנָמַסּוּ הֶֽהָרִים תַּחְתָּיו וְהָעֲמָקִים יִתְבַּקָּעוּ כַּדּוֹנַג מִפְּנֵי הָאֵשׁ כְּמַיִם מֻגָּרִים בְּמוֹרָֽד׃ | 4 |
And the mountains will be consumed under him, and the valleys will be torn apart, like wax before the face of fire, and like waters that rush swiftly downward.
| בְּפֶשַׁע יַֽעֲקֹב כׇּל־זֹאת וּבְחַטֹּאות בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל מִֽי־פֶשַׁע יַעֲקֹב הֲלוֹא שֹֽׁמְרוֹן וּמִי בָּמוֹת יְהוּדָה הֲלוֹא יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ | 5 |
All this is for the wickedness of Jacob and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the wickedness of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the loftiness of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
| וְשַׂמְתִּי שֹׁמְרוֹן לְעִי הַשָּׂדֶה לְמַטָּעֵי כָרֶם וְהִגַּרְתִּי לַגַּי אֲבָנֶיהָ וִיסֹדֶיהָ אֲגַלֶּֽה׃ | 6 |
And I will place Samaria like a pile of stones in the field, when a vineyard is planted. And I will pull down its stones into the valley, and I will reveal her foundations.
| וְכׇל־פְּסִילֶיהָ יֻכַּתּוּ וְכׇל־אֶתְנַנֶּיהָ יִשָּׂרְפוּ בָאֵשׁ וְכׇל־עֲצַבֶּיהָ אָשִׂים שְׁמָמָה כִּי מֵאֶתְנַן זוֹנָה קִבָּצָה וְעַד־אֶתְנַן זוֹנָה יָשֽׁוּבוּ׃ | 7 |
And all her graven images will be cut to pieces, and all her rewards will be burned with fire, and I will place all her idols in perdition. For they have been gathered together from the pay of a kept woman, and even to the pay of a kept woman, they will return.
| עַל־זֹאת אֶסְפְּדָה וְאֵילִילָה אֵילְכָה (שילל) [שׁוֹלָל] וְעָרוֹם אֶעֱשֶׂה מִסְפֵּד כַּתַּנִּים וְאֵבֶל כִּבְנוֹת יַעֲנָֽה׃ | 8 |
I will lament and wail about this. I will go out despoiled and naked. I will make a howl like the dragons, and a mourning like the ostriches.
| כִּי אֲנוּשָׁה מַכּוֹתֶיהָ כִּי־בָאָה עַד־יְהוּדָה נָגַע עַד־שַׁעַר עַמִּי עַד־יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ | 9 |
For her wound has been in despair. For it has come even to Judah. It has touched the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
| בְּגַת אַל־תַּגִּידוּ בָּכוֹ אַל־תִּבְכּוּ בְּבֵית לְעַפְרָה עָפָר (התפלשתי) [הִתְפַּלָּֽשִׁי]׃ | 10 |
Do not be willing to announce it in Gath; may you not lament with tears. In the house of Dust, besprinkle yourselves with dust.
| עִבְרִי לָכֶם יוֹשֶׁבֶת שָׁפִיר עֶרְיָה־בֹשֶׁת לֹא יָֽצְאָה יוֹשֶׁבֶת צַֽאֲנָן מִסְפַּד בֵּית הָאֵצֶל יִקַּח מִכֶּם עֶמְדָּתֽוֹ׃ | 11 |
And cross over to your dwelling place, Beauty, bewildered by disgrace. She did not depart, who dwells at the place of departure. The House nearby, which remained firm by herself, will receive mourning from you.
| כִּֽי־חָלָֽה לְטוֹב יוֹשֶׁבֶת מָרוֹת כִּֽי־יָרַד רָע מֵאֵת יְהֹוָה לְשַׁעַר יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ | 12 |
For she has been weakened in goodness, who dwells in bitterness. For disaster has descended from the Lord to the gate of Jerusalem.
| רְתֹם הַמֶּרְכָּבָה לָרֶכֶשׁ יוֹשֶׁבֶת לָכִישׁ רֵאשִׁית חַטָּאת הִיא לְבַת־צִיּוֹן כִּי־בָךְ נִמְצְאוּ פִּשְׁעֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 13 |
A tumult of four-horse chariots has stupefied the inhabitants of Lachish. The beginning has been sin for the daughter of Zion, because in you have been found the evil deeds of Israel.
| לָכֵן תִּתְּנִי שִׁלּוּחִים עַל מוֹרֶשֶׁת גַּת בָּתֵּי אַכְזִיב לְאַכְזָב לְמַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 14 |
Because of this, she will send emissaries to the inheritance of Gath: the house of Lying in order to deceive the kings of Israel.
| עֹד הַיֹּרֵשׁ אָבִי לָךְ יוֹשֶׁבֶת מָֽרֵשָׁה עַד־עֲדֻלָּם יָבוֹא כְּבוֹד יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 15 |
Nevertheless, I will lead an heir to you, who dwell in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will reach all the way to Adullam.
| קׇרְחִי וָגֹזִּי עַל־בְּנֵי תַּעֲנוּגָיִךְ הַרְחִבִי קׇרְחָתֵךְ כַּנֶּשֶׁר כִּי גָלוּ מִמֵּֽךְ׃ | 16 |
Become bald and shaved for your delicate sons. Increase your baldness like the eagle. For they have been carried into captivity from you.
