Micha Propheta 1
1 Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Michaeam Morasthiten, in diebus Ioathan, Achaz, et Ezechiae regum Iuda: quod vidit super Samariam, et Ierusalem.
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:
2 Audite populi omnes, et attendat terra, et plenitudo eius: et sit Dominus Deus vobis in testem, Dominus de templo sancto suo.
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.
3 Quia ecce Dominus egredietur de loco suo: et descendet, et calcabit super excelsa terrae.
For lo, Jehovah is going out from His place, And He hath come down, And hath trodden on high places of earth.
4 Et consumentur montes subtus eum: et valles scindentur sicut cera a facie ignis, et sicut aquae, quae decurrunt in praeceps.
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.
5 In scelere Iacob omne istud, et in peccatis domus Israel. quod scelus Iacob? nonne Samaria? et quae excelsa Iuda? nonne Ierusalem?
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?
6 et ponam Samariam quasi acervum lapidum in agro cum plantatur vinea: et detraham in vallem lapides eius, et fundamenta eius revelabo.
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.
7 Et omnia sculptilia eius concidentur, et omnes mercedes eius comburentur igne, et omnia idola eius ponam in perditionem: quia de mercedibus meretricis congregata sunt, et usque ad mercedem meretricis revertentur.
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.
8 Super hoc plangam, et ululabo: vadam spoliatus, et nudus: faciam planctum velut draconum, et luctum quasi struthionum.
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.
9 Quia desperata est plaga eius, quia venit usque ad Iuda, tetigit portam populi mei usque ad Ierusalem.
For mortal [are] her wounds, For it hath come unto Judah, It hath come to a gate of My people — to Jerusalem.
10 In Geth nolite annunciare, lacrymis ne ploretis, in domo Pulveris pulvere vos conspergite.
In Gath tell ye not — in Acco weep not, In Beth-Aphrah, in dust roll thyself.
11 Et transite vobis habitatio Pulchra, confusa ignominia: non est egressa quae habitat in exitu: planctum Domus vicina accipiet ex vobis, quae stetit sibimet.
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.
12 Quia infirmata est in bonum, quae habitat in amaritudinibus: quia descendit malum a Domino in portam Ierusalem.
For stayed for good hath the inhabitant of Maroth, For evil hath come down from Jehovah to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Tumultus quadrigae stuporis habitanti Lachis: principium peccati est filiae Sion, quia in te inventa sunt scelera Israel.
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.
14 Propterea dabit emissarios super hereditatem Geth: domos Mendacii in deceptionem regibus Israel.
Therefore thou givest presents to Moresheth-Gath, The houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel.
15 Adhuc heredem adducam tibi quae habitas in Maresa: usque ad Odollam veniet gloria Israel.
Yet the possessor I do bring in to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, To Adullam come in doth the honour of Israel.
16 Decalvare, et tondere super filios deliciarum tuarum: dilata calvitium tuum sicut aquila: quoniam captivi ducti sunt ex te.
Make bald and shave, for thy delightful sons, Enlarge thy baldness as an eagle, For they have removed from thee!
