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.
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.
2 Audite populi omnes, et attendat terra, et plenitudo eius: et sit Dominus Deus vobis in testem, Dominus de templo sancto suo.
Hear, all you people; listen, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.
3 Quia ecce Dominus egredietur de loco suo: et descendet, et calcabit super excelsa terrae.
For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread on the high places of the earth.
4 Et consumentur montes subtus eum: et valles scindentur sicut cera a facie ignis, et sicut aquae, quae decurrunt in praeceps.
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
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 are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
6 et ponam Samariam quasi acervum lapidum in agro cum plantatur vinea: et detraham in vallem lapides eius, et fundamenta eius revelabo.
Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
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 the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
8 Super hoc plangam, et ululabo: vadam spoliatus, et nudus: faciam planctum velut draconum, et luctum quasi struthionum.
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9 Quia desperata est plaga eius, quia venit usque ad Iuda, tetigit portam populi mei usque ad Ierusalem.
For her wound is incurable; for it is come to Judah; he is come to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 In Geth nolite annunciare, lacrymis ne ploretis, in domo Pulveris pulvere vos conspergite.
Declare you it not at Gath, weep you not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll yourself in the dust.
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 you away, you inhabitant of Saphir, having your shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
12 Quia infirmata est in bonum, quae habitat in amaritudinibus: quia descendit malum a Domino in portam Ierusalem.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Tumultus quadrigae stuporis habitanti Lachis: principium peccati est filiae Sion, quia in te inventa sunt scelera Israel.
O you 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 you.
14 Propterea dabit emissarios super hereditatem Geth: domos Mendacii in deceptionem regibus Israel.
Therefore shall you give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 Adhuc heredem adducam tibi quae habitas in Maresa: usque ad Odollam veniet gloria Israel.
Yet will I bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come to Adullam the glory of Israel.
16 Decalvare, et tondere super filios deliciarum tuarum: dilata calvitium tuum sicut aquila: quoniam captivi ducti sunt ex te.
Make you bald, and poll you for your delicate children; enlarge your baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from you.
