मिका 1
1 यरूशलेमका राजाहरू योताम, आहाज, र हिजकियाको समयमा मोरेशेतका निवासी मीकाकहाँ परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन आयो, जुन उनले सामरिया र यरूशलेमको विषयमा देखेका थिए ।
[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 सारा जातिका मानिस, यो सुन । पृथ्वी र त्यसमा भएका सबैले यो सुन । परमप्रभु परमेश्वर उहाँको पवित्र मन्दिरबाट तिमीहरूका विरुद्ध गवाही बनून् ।
You people everywhere on the earth, pay attention to this [DOU]! Yahweh our God is accusing you from his holy temple [in heaven].
3 हेर, परमप्रभु आफ्नो वासस्थानबाट बाहिर आउनुहुन्छ; उहाँ तल आउनुहुनेछ र पृथ्वीका उच्च स्थानहरूमा आफ्नो पाउ राख्नुहुनेछ ।
He will come down [from heaven] and walk on the tops of the highest mountains.
4 मैन आगोको सामु पग्लिएझैँ, र भिरालो ठाउँबाट पानी बगेझैँ उहाँको चरणमुनि हिमालहरू पग्लन्छन्, र उपत्यकाहरू टुक्रिन्छन् ।
[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 यो सबै याकूबको अपराध र इस्राएलको घरनाका पापको कारणले भएको हो । याकूबको अपराध के हो? के त्यो सामरिया होइन? यहूदाको उच्च स्थान के हो? के त्यो यरूशलेम होइन?
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 “म सामरियालाई भग्नावशेषको थुप्रो, र दाखबारी लगाउने स्थान बनाइदिनेछु, र म त्यसका ढुङ्गाहरूलाई तल उपत्यकामा फ्याँकिदिनेछु र म त्यसका जगहरूलाई नाङ्गा बनाइदिनेछु ।
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 त्यसका सबै हातले बनाइएका चिजहरू टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछन्, र त्यसले पाएका सबै उपहारहरूलाई आगोद्धारा जलाइनेछ, र त्यसका सबै मुर्तिहरूलाई म नष्ट गर्नेछु । त्यसले आफ्ना उपहारहरू वेश्याको ज्यालाबाट संचय गरेको हुनाले, ती फेरि वेश्याकै ज्याला बन्नेछन् ।”
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 यसैकारण म विलाप गर्नेछु र रुनेछु; म खाली खुट्टा र नाङ्गै जानेछु । म स्यालहरूझैँ चिच्याउनेछु र लाटोकोसेरोझैँ शोक गर्नेछु ।
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 किनभने त्यसको घाउ निको हुँदैन, किनकि त्यो यहूदासम्म आएको छ । त्यो मेरा मानिसको प्रवेशद्धार, अर्थात् यरूशलेम पुगिसकेको छ ।
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 गातमा यस विषयमा केही नबताओ, रुँदै नरोओ । बेथ-ओप्रामा म आफैँ धुलोमा लत्पतिन्छु ।
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 शाफीरका निवासीहरू, नग्नता र शर्ममा हिँड । सानानका निवासीहरू बाहिर ननिस्क । बेथ एजेल विलाप गर्दछ, किनकि तिनीहरूको सुरक्षा-स्थान खोसिएको छ ।
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 किनभने मरोतका निवासीहरू असल समाचारको निम्ति व्याकुल भएर पर्खन्छन्, किनभने परमप्रभुबाट यरूशलेमका प्रवेशद्धारहरुमा विनाश आएको छ ।
[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 लाकीशका निवासीहरू, रथलाई घोडाहरूका समुहमा बाँध । ए लाकीश, सियोनकी छोरीको निम्ति तँ नै पापको सुरुवात थिइस्, किनकि तँमा नै इस्राएलका अपराधहरू भेटिएका थिए ।
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 यसैकारण तिमीहरूले मोरेशेत-गातलाई बिदाईको उपहार दिनेछौ । अक्जीबको नगरले इस्राएलका राजाहरूलाई निराश बनाउनेछन् ।
[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 मारेशाका निवासीहरू, म तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा एउटा विजेता ल्याउनेछु । इस्राएलको वैभव अदुल्लाममा आउनेछ ।
[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 तिमीहरू हर्षित हुने आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूका निम्ति आफ्नो केश खौर । आफैँलाई गिद्धझैँ तालुखुइले बनाओ, किनभने तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू तिमीहरूबाट टाढा निर्वासनमा जानेछन् ।
[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).
