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.
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 »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 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 Kajti glejte, Gospod prihaja iz svojega kraja in bo prišel dol in stopil na visoke kraje zemlje.
The Lord is coming from his holy place, he descends and treads on the heights 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.
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 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 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 bom Samarijo naredil kakor kup polja in kakor zasajanje vinograda in njene kamne bom izlil dol v dolino in odkril bom njene 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 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 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 bom tarnal in tulil, šel bom slečen in nag. Naredil bom tarnanje kakor zmaji in žalovanje kakor 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 Kajti njena rana je nezaceljiva, kajti ta je prišla v Juda; prišla je v velika vrata mojega ljudstva, celó do Jeruzalema.
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 Tega ne razglasite pri Gatu, sploh ne jokajte. V Bet Leáfri se valjajte v prahu.
Don’t tell this in Gath! Don’t even cry – but sit in the dust at 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.
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 Kajti prebivalec Maróta je skrbno čakal na dobro, toda zlo je prišlo dol od Gospoda k velikim vratom Jeruzalema.
The inhabitants of Maroth wait anxiously for good! But the Lord has sent disaster to the gates 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 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 boš dal darila Moréšet Gatu. Ahzíbove hiše bodo laž Izraelovim kraljem.
Therefore you must give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath. Beth-achzib will betray the kings of Israel.
15 Vendar bom k tebi privedel dediča, oh prebivalec Marešá. Prišel bo k Adulámu, Izraelovi slavi.
I will hand you to a conqueror, people of Mareshah, the leaders of Israel will hide in Adullam Cave!
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 head in morning for the children you love, until you are bald as vultures, because they have left you for exile.
