Michas 1
1 Šis ir Tā Kunga vārds, kas noticis uz Mihu, to Marezieti, Jotama, Ahazs, Hizkijas, Jūda ķēniņu, dienās, ko viņš redzējis par Samariju un Jeruzālemi.
[I am] Micah. I am from [the town of] Moresheth [in Judah]. Yahweh gave me these [messages in] visions about Samaria and Jerusalem during the time when Jotham, [and then] Ahaz, and [then] Hezekiah, were the kings of Judah.
2 Klausāties, tautas visas, ņem vērā, zeme un viss, kas tur iekšā, jo Tas Kungs Dievs pret jums būs liecinieks, Tas Kungs no Sava svētā nama.
You people everywhere on the earth, pay attention to this [DOU]! Yahweh our God is accusing you from his holy temple [in heaven].
3 Jo redzi, Tas Kungs iziet no Savas vietas, viņš nolaižas un stāv uz zemes augstumiem,
He will come down [from heaven] and walk on the tops of the highest mountains.
4 Un kalni apakš Viņa izkūst, un ielejas izšķīst kā vasks ugunī, kā ūdens, kas gāžas uz leju.
[It will be as though] the mountains will melt under his [feet] like [SIM] wax [melts] in front of a fire, and like [SIM] water [disappears] when it rushes/flows down into a valley.
5 Šo visu Viņš darīs Jēkaba nozieguma dēļ un Israēla bērnu grēku dēļ. Bet kur ir Jēkaba noziegums? Vai ne Samarijā? Un kur ir Jūda elku altāri? Vai ne Jeruzālemē?
Those things will happen because of the terrible sins [DOU] that the people [MTY] of Israel, [the descendants of] Jacob, have committed. But it was [RHQ] [the people of] Samaria [city who persuaded all the people of] Israel to sin, and it was [RHQ] because the people of Jerusalem [set up altars to worship their gods] that [the other people of] Judah [were persuaded to worship idols on] their hilltops.
6 Tāpēc Es Samariju darīšu par akmeņu kopu laukā, par vīna dārzu, un Es viņas akmeņus nogāzīšu ielejā un atklāšu viņas pamatus.
So Yahweh will cause Samaria to become a heap [of rubble/ruins]; [it will be only] a field for planting vineyards. He will cause the stones of its [buildings] to roll down into the valley, and the foundations [of the buildings] will be uncovered.
7 Un visi viņas dievekļi taps sadauzīti, un visas viņas mauku dāvanas taps sadedzinātas ar uguni, un visus viņas elkadievus Es darīšu par tuksnesi; jo tie ir sakrāti no mauku algas, un paliks atkal par mauku algu.
All the idols in Samaria will be smashed, and the gifts [given to prostitutes at the temples of their idols] will be destroyed in a fire. And because people paid prostitutes there, [their enemies will take away those idols and sell them] to get money to pay to prostitutes [in other countries].
8 Par to man jābēdājas un jāraud, es iešu aplaupīts un kails, es sākšu kaukt kā šakāļi un gaust kā jauni strausi.
Because [Samaria will be destroyed], I will weep and wail. I will walk around (barefoot/without any sandals on my feet) and naked. I will howl like a jackal/wolf and screech like an owl,
9 Jo viņas mocības ir nāvīgas, jo tās ir nākušas līdz Jūdam, un stiepjas līdz manu ļaužu vārtiem, līdz Jeruzālemei.
because Samaria will be completely destroyed [MET]; nothing can save that city. But the same thing will happen to Judah! [It is as though the enemy army] has [already] reached the city gates of Jerusalem, [the main city where] my people [live].
10 Nesludinājiet to Gatā, neraudiet tik gauži, vārtaties pīšļos pīšļu namā,
Do not tell that to [our enemies] in Gath [city in Philistia]! Do not cry, [lest the people there find out what is happening]! [Instead, just] roll in the dirt in Beth-Leaphrah [because the name of that town means ‘house of dust].’
11 Aizej Šafīras iedzīvotāja, bezkaunīgi atsegta! Caēnanas iedzīvotāja neiziet; žēlošana Betecelē nestājās;
You people who live in Shaphir [town, whose name means ‘beautiful],’ naked and ashamed, you will be taken [to another country]. [You people in] Beth-Ezel [town] should mourn, [because] no one from Zaanan [town, whose name means ‘one who goes out],’ will go out to help you.
12 Jo Marotas iedzīvotāja noskumst par to (zudušo) labumu, ka ļaunums no Tā Kunga ir nācis līdz Jeruzālemes vārtiem.
[The name of] Maroth [town sounds like ‘bitterness];’ everyone there is anxiously waiting for good things to happen to them, but good things will not happen to them; instead, terrible things are about to happen to them, and it will soon happen at the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Jūdz zirgus ratos, Lakisas iedzīvotāja; še ir grēku iesākums Ciānas meitai, ka iekš tevis Israēla noziegumi ir atrasti.
You people of Lachish [city, whose name sounds like ‘team],’ hitch your horses to pull the chariots [in which you can ride to flee from your enemies]. The Israeli people rebelled against Yahweh, and you (imitated them/did the same evil things that they did), and that caused the people of Jerusalem [IDM] to start sinning, too.
14 Tādēļ sūti dāvanas uz Gatas Marezeti. Aksibas nami Israēla ķēniņiem paliks par meliem.
[You people of Judah], send a farewell gift to [the people] of Moresheth [town], [because their enemies will soon destroy it]. [The name of the town Aczib means ‘deception],’ and the kings of Israel [will soon find out that the people of that town] will deceive them.
15 Es tev vēl reiz atvedīšu mantinieku, Marezas iedzīvotāja; uz Adulamu aizies Israēla gods.
[The name of your town of] Mareshah [means ‘conqueror],’ and Yahweh will [soon] send someone to conquer your town. [It will be necessary for] the great/glorious leaders of Israel to go [and hide in the cave at] Adullam [city].
16 Nodzeni sev galvu pliku savu mīļo bērnu dēļ, dari savu pleiķi platu kā (maitu)lijai, tāpēc ka tie no tevis ir aizvesti.
[You people of Judah], shave your heads [while you will be mourning], because your children whom you love will [soon] be (exiled/forced to leave you and go to another country).
