< Miquéias 1 >

1 Palavra do Senhor, que veiu a Miqueas, morasthita, nos dias de Jothão, Achaz e Ezequias, reis de Judah, a qual elle viu sobre Samaria e Jerusalem.
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.
2 Ouvi, todos os povos, attenta tu, terra, e a plenitude d'ella, e seja o Senhor Jehovah testemunha contra vós, o Senhor, desde o templo da sua sanctidade.
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.
3 Porque eis que o Senhor sae do seu logar, e descerá, e pizará as alturas da terra.
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.
4 E os montes debaixo d'elle se derreterão, e os valles se fenderão, como a cera diante do fogo, como as aguas que se precipitam n'um abysmo.
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.
5 Tudo isto por causa da prevaricação de Jacob, e dos peccados da casa de Israel: quem é o auctor da rebellião de Jacob? não é Samaria? e quem o das alturas de Judah? não é Jerusalem?
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?
6 Por isso farei de Samaria um montão de pedras do campo, uma terra de plantar vinhas, e farei rebolar as suas pedras no valle, e descobrirei os seus fundamentos.
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.
7 E todas as suas imagens de esculptura serão esmiuçadas, e todos os seus salarios serão queimados pelo fogo, e de todos os seus idolos eu farei uma assolação, porque da paga de prostitutas os ajuntou, e para a paga de prostitutas voltarão.
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.
8 Por isso lamentarei, e uivarei, andarei despojado e nú: farei lamentação como de dragões, e pranto como de abestruzes.
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.
9 Porque a sua chaga é incuravel, porque chegou até Judah: estendeu-se até á porta do meu povo, até Jerusalem.
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.
10 Não o annuncieis em Gath, nem choreis muito: revolve-te no pó, na casa de Aphra.
Do not be willing to announce it in Gath; may you not lament with tears. In the house of Dust, besprinkle yourselves with dust.
11 Passa, ó moradora de Saphir, com nudez vergonhosa: a moradora de Zaanan não sae para fóra; o pranto de Beth-ezel receberá de vós a sua estancia.
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.
12 Porque a moradora de Maroth teve dôr pelo bem; porque desceu do Senhor o mal até á porta de Jerusalem.
For she has been weakened in goodness, who dwells in bitterness. For disaster has descended from the Lord to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Ata os animaes ligeiros ao carro, ó moradora de Lachis (esta é o principio do peccado para a filha de Sião), porque em ti se acharam as transgressões de Israel.
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.
14 Por isso dá presentes a Moreshethgath: as casas de Achzib serão casas de mentira aos reis de Israel.
Because of this, she will send emissaries to the inheritance of Gath: the house of Lying in order to deceive the kings of Israel.
15 Ainda te trarei um herdeiro, ó moradora de Maresha: chegar-se-ha até Adullam, para gloria de Israel.
Nevertheless, I will lead an heir to you, who dwell in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will reach all the way to Adullam.
16 Faze-te calva, e tosquia-te, por causa dos filhos das tuas delicias: alarga a tua calva como a aguia, porque te foram levados captivos.
Become bald and shaved for your delicate sons. Increase your baldness like the eagle. For they have been carried into captivity from you.
