¹The 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.

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

²Hear, ye peoples, all of you: hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord Jehovah 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, Jehovah 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 melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as 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 a heap of the field, [and] as places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations thereof.

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

⁷And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered them, and unto the hire of a harlot shall 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 will I lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a lamentation like the ostriches.

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

⁹For her wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah; it reacheth 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.

¹⁰Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all: at Beth-le-aphrah have I rolled myself in the dust.

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

¹¹Pass away, O inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame: the inhabitant of Zaanan is not come forth; the wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the stay thereof.

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

¹²For the inhabitant of Maroth waiteth anxiously for good, because evil is come down from Jehovah unto the gate of Jerusalem.

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

¹³Bind 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.

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

¹⁴Therefore shalt thou give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing unto the kings of Israel.

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

¹⁵I will yet bring unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him that shall possess thee: the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam.

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

¹⁶Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair for the children of thy delight: 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!
