Mihej 1
1 Beseda Gospodova, ki je prišla Miheju Moréšečanu v dneh Jotáma, Aháza in Ezekíja, Judovih kraljev, ki jo je videl glede Samarije in Jeruzalema.
This is the word of the LORD that came to Micah the Moreshite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem:
2 »Poslušajte, vsa ve ljudstva, prisluhni, oh zemlja in vsi, ki so na njej, in naj bo Gospod Bog priča zoper vas, Gospod od svojega svetega templja.
Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth, and everyone in it! May the Lord GOD bear witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.
3 Kajti glejte, Gospod prihaja iz svojega kraja in bo prišel dol in stopil na visoke kraje zemlje.
For behold, the LORD comes forth from His dwelling place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
4 Gore bodo stopljene pod njim in doline bodo razklane kakor vosek pred ognjem in kakor vode, ki so izlite dol po strmini.
The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
5 Zaradi Jakobovega prestopka je vse to in zaradi grehov Izraelove hiše. Kaj je Jakobov prestopek? Mar ni Samarija? In kaj so visoki Judovi kraji? Ali niso oni Jeruzalem?
All this is for the transgression of Jacob and the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
6 Zato bom Samarijo naredil kakor kup polja in kakor zasajanje vinograda in njene kamne bom izlil dol v dolino in odkril bom njene temelje.
Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble in the open field, a planting area for a vineyard. I will pour her stones into the valley and expose her foundations.
7 Vse njene rezane podobe bodo stolčene na koščke in vsa njena plačila bodo požgana z ognjem in vse njene malike bom pustil zapuščene, kajti to je zbirala od plačila pocestnice in vrnili se bodo k plačilu pocestnice.
All her carved images will be smashed to pieces; all her wages will be burned in the fire, and I will destroy all her idols. Since she collected the wages of a prostitute, they will be used again on a prostitute.
8 Zato bom tarnal in tulil, šel bom slečen in nag. Naredil bom tarnanje kakor zmaji in žalovanje kakor sove.
Because of this I will lament and wail; I will walk barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and mourn like an ostrich.
9 Kajti njena rana je nezaceljiva, kajti ta je prišla v Juda; prišla je v velika vrata mojega ljudstva, celó do Jeruzalema.
For her wound is incurable; it has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem itself.
10 Tega ne razglasite pri Gatu, sploh ne jokajte. V Bet Leáfri se valjajte v prahu.
Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
11 Odidi proč, ti prebivalec Šafírja, ki imaš svojo sramoto golo. Prebivalec Caanána ne pridi naprej v žalovanju Bet Ecela; ta bo od vas prejel svojo postojanko.
Depart in shameful nakedness, O dwellers of Shaphir. The dwellers of Zaanan will not come out. Beth-ezel is in mourning; its support is taken from you.
12 Kajti prebivalec Maróta je skrbno čakal na dobro, toda zlo je prišlo dol od Gospoda k velikim vratom Jeruzalema.
For the dwellers of Maroth pined for good, but calamity came down from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Oh ti prebivalec Lahíša, naprezi bojni voz k hitri živali. Ta je začetek greha sionski hčeri, kajti prestopke Izraela je bilo najti v tebi.
Harness your chariot horses, O dweller of Lachish. You were the beginning of sin to the Daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Zato boš dal darila Moréšet Gatu. Ahzíbove hiše bodo laž Izraelovim kraljem.
Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel.
15 Vendar bom k tebi privedel dediča, oh prebivalec Marešá. Prišel bo k Adulámu, Izraelovi slavi.
I will again bring a conqueror against you, O dweller of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
16 Naredi se plešast in ostriži se zaradi svojih prefinjenih otrok. Svojo plešavost povečaj kakor orel, kajti od tebe so odšli v ujetništvo.«
Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair in mourning for your precious children; make yourselves as bald as an eagle, for they will go from you into exile.
