< مِيخَا 1 >

قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى مِيخَا ٱلْمُورَشْتِيِّ فِي أَيَّامِ يُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحَزَقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلَّذِي رَآهُ عَلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَأُورُشَلِيمَ: ١ 1
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.
اِسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلشُّعُوبُ جَمِيعُكُمْ. أَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمِلْؤُهَا. وَلْيَكُنِ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمُ، ٱلسَّيِّدُ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ قُدْسِهِ. ٢ 2
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!
فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ وَيَنْزِلُ وَيَمْشِي عَلَى شَوَامِخِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٣ 3
The Lord is coming from his holy place, he descends and treads on the heights of the earth,
فَتَذُوبُ ٱلْجِبَالُ تَحْتَهُ، وَتَنْشَقُّ ٱلْوِدْيَانُ كَٱلشَّمْعِ قُدَّامَ ٱلنَّارِ. كَٱلْمَاءِ ٱلْمُنْصَبِّ فِي مُنْحَدَرٍ. ٤ 4
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.
كُلُّ هَذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ إِثْمِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ خَطِيَّةِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. مَا هُوَ ذَنْبُ يَعْقُوبَ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ ٱلسَّامِرَةَ؟ وَمَا هِيَ مُرْتَفَعَاتُ يَهُوذَا؟ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمَ؟ ٥ 5
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?
«فَأَجْعَلُ ٱلسَّامِرَةَ خَرِبَةً فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، مَغَارِسَ لِلْكُرُومِ، وَأُلْقِي حِجَارَتَهَا إِلَى ٱلْوَادِي، وَأَكْشِفُ أُسُسَهَا. ٦ 6
‘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.
وَجَمِيعُ تَمَاثِيلِهَا ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةِ تُحَطَّمُ، وَكُلُّ أَعْقَارِهَا تُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَجَمِيعُ أَصْنَامِهَا أَجْعَلُهَا خَرَابًا، لِأَنَّهَا مِنْ عُقْرِ ٱلزَّانِيَةِ جَمَعَتْهَا وَإِلَى عُقْرِ ٱلزَّانِيَةِ تَعُودُ». ٧ 7
‘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.’
مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَنُوحُ وَأُوَلْوِلُ. أَمْشِي حَافِيًا وَعُرْيَانًا. أَصْنَعُ نَحِيبًا كَبَنَاتِ آوَى، وَنَوْحًا كَرِعَالِ ٱلنَّعَامِ. ٨ 8
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.
لِأَنَّ جِرَاحَاتِهَا عَدِيمَةُ ٱلشِّفَاءِ، لِأَنَّهَا قَدْ أَتَتْ إِلَى يَهُوذَا، وَصَلَتْ إِلَى بَابِ شَعْبِي إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٩ 9
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.
لَا تُخْبِرُوا فِي جَتَّ، لَا تَبْكُوا فِي عَكَّاءَ. تَمَرَّغِي فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ فِي بَيْتِ عَفْرَةَ. ١٠ 10
Don’t tell this in Gath! Don’t even cry – but sit in the dust at Beth-leaphrah.
اُعْبُرِي يَا سَاكِنَةَ شَافِيرَ عُرْيَانَةً وَخَجِلَةً. ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِي صَانَانَ لَا تَخْرُجُ. نَوْحُ بَيْتِ هَأَيْصِلَ يَأْخُذُ عِنْدَكُمْ مَقَامَهُ، ١١ 11
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.
لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّاكِنَةَ فِي مَارُوثَ ٱغْتَمَّتْ لِأَجْلِ خَيْرَاتِهَا، لِأَنَّ شَرًّا قَدْ نَزَلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى بَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٢ 12
The inhabitants of Maroth wait anxiously for good! But the Lord has sent disaster to the gates of Jerusalem.
شُدِّي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ بِٱلْجَوَادِ يَا سَاكِنَةَ لَاخِيشَ، هِيَ أَوَّلُ خَطِيَّةٍ لِٱبْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنَّهُ فِيكِ وُجِدَتْ ذُنُوبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٣ 13
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.
لِذَلِكَ تُعْطِينَ إِطْلَاقًا لِمُورَشَةِ جَتَّ. تَصِيرُ بُيُوتُ أَكْزِيبَ كَاذِبَةً لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٤ 14
Therefore you must give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath. Beth-achzib will betray the kings of Israel.
آتِي إِلَيْكِ أَيْضًا بِٱلْوَارِثِ يَا سَاكِنَةَ مَرِيشَةَ. يَأْتِي إِلَى عَدُلَّامَ مَجْدُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٥ 15
I will hand you to a conqueror, people of Mareshah, the leaders of Israel will hide in Adullam Cave!
كُونِي قَرْعَاءَ وَجُزِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ بَنِي تَنَعُّمِكِ. وَسِّعِي قَرْعَتَكِ كَٱلنَّسْرِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدِ ٱنْتَفَوْا عَنْكِ. ١٦ 16
Shave your head in morning for the children you love, until you are bald as vultures, because they have left you for exile.
