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 word of Jehovah that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which 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.
Hear, ye peoples, all of you. Hearken, O earth, and all who are in it, and let the Lord Jehovah be 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, Jehovah comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon 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.
And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be split, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place.
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 for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Are they 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 as a heap of the field, and as places for planting vineyards. And I will pour down the stones of it into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations of it.
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.
And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces. And all her wages shall be burned with fire, and I will lay desolate all her idols. For she has gathered them from the wages of a harlot, and to the wage of a harlot they shall return.
8 Zato bom tarnal in tulil, šel bom slečen in nag. Naredil bom tarnanje kakor zmaji in žalovanje kakor sove.
For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a lamentation like the ostriches.
9 Kajti njena rana je nezaceljiva, kajti ta je prišla v Juda; prišla je v velika vrata mojega ljudstva, celó do Jeruzalema.
For her wounds are incurable. For it has come even to Judah. it reaches 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.
Tell it not in Gath. Weep not at all. I have rolled myself in the dust at Beth-le-aphrah.
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 away, O inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan has not come forth. The wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the stay of it.
12 Kajti prebivalec Maróta je skrbno čakal na dobro, toda zlo je prišlo dol od Gospoda k velikim vratom Jeruzalema.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Jehovah 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.
Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
14 Zato boš dal darila Moréšet Gatu. Ahzíbove hiše bodo laž Izraelovim kraljem.
Therefore thou shall give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath. The houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
15 Vendar bom k tebi privedel dediča, oh prebivalec Marešá. Prišel bo k Adulámu, Izraelovi slavi.
I will yet bring to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him who shall possess thee. The glory of Israel shall come even 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.«
Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair for the sons of thy delight. Enlarge thy baldness as the vulture, for they have gone into captivity from thee.
