Mihej 1
1 Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Miheju Moreseæaninu za vremena Joatama, Ahaza i Jezekije, careva Judinijeh, što vidje za Samariju i za Jerusalim.
The Lord’s message which came to Micah of Morsheth in the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The visions he saw about Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Èujte, svi narodi, slušaj, zemljo i što je na njoj, i Gospod Bog da vam je svjedok, Gospod iz svete crkve svoje.
Listen, all you peoples! Pay attention, all you inhabitants of the earth! For the Lord God will be a witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple!
3 Jer, gle, Gospod izlazi iz mjesta svojega, i siæi æe, i hodiæe po visinama zemaljskim.
The Lord is coming from his holy place, he descends and treads on the heights of the earth,
4 I gore æe se rastopiti pred njim, i doline æe se rasjesti, kao vosak od ognja i kao voda što teèe niz strmen.
so that the mountains melt beneath like wax in the presence of the fire, and the valleys break apart like water poured down a steep descent.
5 Sve je to za zloèinstvo Jakovljevo i za grijehe doma Izrailjeva. Koje je zloèinstvo Jakovljevo? nije li Samarija? koje su visine Judine? nije li Jerusalim?
All this is because of the crime of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What was the crime of Jacob? Was it not Samaria? What is the sin of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
6 Zato æu uèiniti od Samarije gomilu u polju da se sade vinogradi, i pobacaæu kamenje njezino u dolinu i otkriæu joj temelje.
“I will make Samaria a ruin in an open field, and a place where a vineyard is planted, I will hurl down her stones into the valley, and lay bare her foundations.
7 I svi rezani likovi njezini razbiæe se, i svi æe se darovi njezini sažeæi ognjem, i sve æu idole njezine potrti, jer od plate kurvarske nakupi, i opet æe biti plata kurvarska.
“All her images will be shattered, and all her statues will be burned with fire, and all her idols I will lay in ruins. For they were acquired by prostitution, and to prostitution they will return.”
8 Zato æu plakati i ridati; hodiæu svuèen i go; plakaæu kao zmajevi i tužiæu kao sove.
This is why I will mourn and wail, I will go barefoot and naked, I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the desert owl.
9 Jer joj se rane ne mogu iscijeliti, doðoše do Jude, dopriješe do vrata mojega naroda, do Jerusalima.
For the blow that Samaria has received is incurable. It has spread over Judah, it extends even to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Ne javljajte u Gatu, ne plaèite; u Vit-Afri valjaj se po prahu.
Don’t tell this in Gath! Don’t even cry – but sit in the dust at Beth-leaphrah.
11 Izidi, stanovnice Safirska, s golom sramotom; stanovnica Sananska neæe izaæi; žalost Vet-ezilska neæe vam dati stanka.
Pass by, inhabitants of Shaphir, naked and ashamed! The inhabitants of Zaanan cannot leave their city. Beth-ezel laments and removes its support from you.
12 Jer stanovnica Marotska tuži za svojim dobrom. Jer siðe zlo od Gospoda do vrata Jerusalimskih.
The inhabitants of Maroth wait anxiously for good! But the Lord has sent disaster to the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Upregni brze konje u kola, stanovnice Lahiska, koja si poèetak grijehu kæeri Sionskoj, jer se u tebi naðoše zloèinstva Izrailjeva.
Harness the horse to the chariot, inhabitants of Lachish. You led the daughter of Zion, Jerusalem, into sin, in you are found the crimes of Israel.
14 Zato pošlji dare Moresetu Gatskom; domovi Ahsivski prevariæe careve Izrailjeve.
Therefore you must give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath. Beth-achzib will betray the kings of Israel.
15 Još æu ti dovesti našljednika, stanovnice Mariska; doæi æe do Odolama, slave Izrailjeve.
I will hand you to a conqueror, people of Mareshah, the leaders of Israel will hide in Adullam Cave!
16 Naèini se æelava i ostrizi se za milom djecom svojom; raširi æelu svoju kao orao, jer se vode od tebe u ropstvo.
Shave your head in morning for the children you love, until you are bald as vultures, because they have left you for exile.
