¹The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

¹Issanda sõna, mis tuli Miikale, moorastlasele, Juuda kuningate Jootami, Aahase ja Hiskija päevil, ta nägemus Samaaria ja Jeruusalemma kohta:

²Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.

²'Kuulge, kõik rahvad, pane tähele, maa ja kõik, mis seda täidab! Olgu Issand Jumal tunnistajaks teie vastu, Issand oma pühast templist!

³For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.

³Sest vaata, Issand tuleb välja oma asupaigast, astub alla ja kõnnib maa kõrgendikel.

⁴And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.

⁴Mäed sulavad tema all ja orud lõhenevad otsekui vaha tule paistel, otsekui järsakult alla voolav vesi.

⁵For the transgression of Jacob is all this, 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?

⁵Jaakobi üleastumise pärast ja Iisraeli soo pattude pärast sünnib see kõik. Kes on süüdi Jaakobi üleastumises? Kas mitte Samaaria? Ja kellelt on Juuda ohvrikünkad? Kas mitte Jeruusalemmalt?

⁶Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.

⁶Sellepärast teen ma Samaaria kivikangruks väljal, viinamäe istutusmaaks, veeretan ta kivid orgu ja paljastan ta alusmüürid.

⁷And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.

⁷Kõik ta nikerdatud kujud lüüakse katki, kogu ta hoorapalk põletatakse tulega ja ma hävitan kõik ta ebajumalad; sest ta on kogunud need hoorapalgast ja hoorapalgaks saavad need jälle.

⁸Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.

⁸Sellepärast pean ma kaeblema ja ulguma, käima paljajalu ja alasti, pean ulguma nagu ðaakal ja leinama nagu jaanalind.

⁹For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

⁹Sest tema haav on ravimatu. Jah, see on jõudnud Juudani, ulatub mu rahva väravani, lausa Jeruusalemmani.

¹⁰Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.

¹⁰Ärge kuulutage Gatis, ärge nutke valjusti, püherdage põrmus Beet-Afras!

¹¹Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.

¹¹Minge ära, Saafiri elanikud, alasti ja häbis, Saanani asukad ei lähe välja: Beet-Haeselis on kurtmine, teilt võetakse püsi.

¹²For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.

¹²Jah, Maaroti elanikud ootavad õnne, aga Issandalt tuleb õnnetus Jeruusalemma väravasse.

¹³O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.

¹³Rakendage hobused vankri ette, Laakise elanikud! Siin oli Siioni tütre patu algus, sest sinus peitusid Iisraeli üleastumised.

¹⁴Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.

¹⁴Sellepärast tuleb sul anda lahkumisand Mooreset-Gatile. Aksibi kojad on pettumuseks Iisraeli kuningaile.

¹⁵Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.

¹⁵Ma toon su vastu vallutaja, Maaresa elanik! Adullamini jõuab Iisraeli auhiilgus.

¹⁶Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.

¹⁶Lõika juuksed ära ja aja pea kiilaks oma hellitatud laste pärast! Aja oma pea laialt paljaks nagu on raisakotkal, sest nad viiakse su juurest vangi!
