1 Beseda Gospodova, ki je prišla Miheju Moréšečanu v dneh Jotáma, Aháza in Ezekíja, Judovih kraljev, ki jo je videl glede Samarije in Jeruzalema.
Here is the message that the Lord gave to Micah of Moresheth at the time when Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah. This is what he saw concerning 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.
Listen, all the nations! Pay attention, everyone on earth! The Lord God testifies against you from the Lord's holy Temple.
3 Kajti glejte, Gospod prihaja iz svojega kraja in bo prišel dol in stopil na visoke kraje zemlje.
Look! The Lord is coming, leaving his place and coming down, and is walking 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 melt beneath him, the valleys burst apart, like wax in front of a fire, like water rushing down a slope. All this is happening because of the rebellion of the descendants of Jacob, the sins of the people of Israel.
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?
What is the rebellion of the descendants of Jacob? Isn't it what is happening in Samaria? Where are the idolatrous high places of Judah? Aren't they right in 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 pile of rubble in a field, a place for planting vineyards. I will roll its stones down into the valley; I will lay bare its 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 their carved idols will be smashed to pieces. All that was earned by their temple prostitutes will be burned. All of their idols will be destroyed, for what she collected through the earnings of temple prostitutes will be taken away and used to pay other temple prostitutes.
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 weep and wail, I will walk barefoot and naked, and will howl like jackals and mourn like owls.
9 Kajti njena rana je nezaceljiva, kajti ta je prišla v Juda; prišla je v velika vrata mojega ljudstva, celó do Jeruzalema.
Their wound cannot be healed, it has extended to Judah, and reached right to the gates of Jerusalem.
10 Tega ne razglasite pri Gatu, sploh ne jokajte. V Bet Leáfri se valjajte v prahu.
Don't mention it in Gath; don't weep at all. People of Beth-le-aphrah, roll in the dust.
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.
Leave, people of Shaphir, naked and ashamed. People of Zanaan don't come out. People of Beth Ezel mourn, for you have lost your support.
12 Kajti prebivalec Maróta je skrbno čakal na dobro, toda zlo je prišlo dol od Gospoda k velikim vratom Jeruzalema.
The people of Maroth wait anxiously for relief, but disaster has come down from the Lord on 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 the team of horses to the chariot, you people of Lachish, because the sins of the people of Jerusalem began with you, for the sins of Israel were first found in you.
14 Zato boš dal darila Moréšet Gatu. Ahzíbove hiše bodo laž Izraelovim kraljem.
Send your goodbye gifts to Moresheth. The town of Achzib is a deception to the kings of Israel.
15 Vendar bom k tebi privedel dediča, oh prebivalec Marešá. Prišel bo k Adulámu, Izraelovi slavi.
I will bring a conqueror to attack you, people of Moresheth. The leaders of Israel will go 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 your heads, for the children you love will be taken away; make yourselves as bald as a vulture, for they will be exiled far away from you.
