1A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Micah the Morashite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, that he hath seen concerning Samaria and Jerusalem:
1Issanda sõna, mis tuli Miikale, moorastlasele, Juuda kuningate Jootami, Aahase ja Hiskija päevil, ta nägemus Samaaria ja Jeruusalemma kohta:
2Hear, O peoples, all of them! Attend, O earth, and its fulness, And the Lord Jehovah is against you for a witness, 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 lo, Jehovah is going out from His place, And He hath come down, And hath trodden on high places of earth.
3Sest vaata, Issand tuleb välja oma asupaigast, astub alla ja kõnnib maa kõrgendikel.
4Melted have been the mountains under Him, And the valleys do rend themselves, As wax from the presence of fire, As waters cast down by a slope.
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 the high places of Judah? Is it 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?
6And I have set Samaria for a heap of the field, For plantations of a vineyard, And poured out into a valley her stones, And her foundations I uncover.
6Sellepärast teen ma Samaaria kivikangruks väljal, viinamäe istutusmaaks, veeretan ta kivid orgu ja paljastan ta alusmüürid.
7And all her graven images are beaten down, And all her gifts are burnt with fire, And all her idols I make a desolation, For, from the hire of a harlot she gathered, and unto the hire of a harlot they return.
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.
8For this I lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an ostrich.
8Sellepärast pean ma kaeblema ja ulguma, käima paljajalu ja alasti, pean ulguma nagu ðaakal ja leinama nagu jaanalind.
9For mortal [are] her wounds, For it hath come unto Judah, It hath come to a gate of My people — to Jerusalem.
9Sest tema haav on ravimatu. Jah, see on jõudnud Juudani, ulatub mu rahva väravani, lausa Jeruusalemmani.
10In Gath tell ye not — in Acco weep not, In Beth-Aphrah, in dust roll thyself.
10Ärge kuulutage Gatis, ärge nutke valjusti, püherdage põrmus Beet-Afras!
11Pass over for thee, O inhabitant of Shaphir, Naked one of shame. Not gone out hath the inhabitant of Zaanan, The lamentation of Beth-Ezel doth take from you its standing.
11Minge ära, Saafiri elanikud, alasti ja häbis, Saanani asukad ei lähe välja: Beet-Haeselis on kurtmine, teilt võetakse püsi.
12For stayed for good hath the inhabitant of Maroth, For evil hath come down from Jehovah to the gate of Jerusalem.
12Jah, Maaroti elanikud ootavad õnne, aga Issandalt tuleb õnnetus Jeruusalemma väravasse.
13Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish, The beginning of sin [is] she to the daughter of Zion, For in thee have been found the transgressions of Israel.
13Rakendage hobused vankri ette, Laakise elanikud! Siin oli Siioni tütre patu algus, sest sinus peitusid Iisraeli üleastumised.
14Therefore thou givest presents to Moresheth-Gath, The houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel.
14Sellepärast tuleb sul anda lahkumisand Mooreset-Gatile. Aksibi kojad on pettumuseks Iisraeli kuningaile.
15Yet the possessor I do bring in to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, To Adullam come in doth the honour of Israel.
15Ma toon su vastu vallutaja, Maaresa elanik! Adullamini jõuab Iisraeli auhiilgus.
16Make bald and shave, for thy delightful sons, Enlarge thy baldness as an eagle, For they have removed 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!
