Micah 1
1 [I am] Micah. I am from [the town of] Moresheth [in Judah]. Yahweh gave me these [messages in] visions about Samaria and Jerusalem during the time when Jotham, [and then] Ahaz, and [then] Hezekiah, were the kings of Judah.
Este es el mensaje que el Señor le dio a Miqueas de Moreset, en los tiempos en que Jotam, Ajaz y Ezequías fueron reyes de Judá. Esto es lo que él vio respecto a Samaria y Jerusalén.
2 You people everywhere on the earth, pay attention to this [DOU]! Yahweh our God is accusing you from his holy temple [in heaven].
¡Escuchen, todas las naciones! ¡Presten atención, habitantes de la tierra! El Señor Dios testifica contra ustedes desde el santo Templo del Señor.
3 He will come down [from heaven] and walk on the tops of the highest mountains.
¡Miren! El Señor ya viene. Abandona su lugar y desciende, y camina sobre los lugares altos de la tierra.
4 [It will be as though] the mountains will melt under his [feet] like [SIM] wax [melts] in front of a fire, and like [SIM] water [disappears] when it rushes/flows down into a valley.
Las montañas se derriten bajo sus pies y los valles se resquebrajan, tal como la cera ante el fuego y el agua que se corta por una pendiente. Todo esto sucede por la rebelión de los descendientes de Jacob, y los pecados del pueblo de Israel.
5 Those things will happen because of the terrible sins [DOU] that the people [MTY] of Israel, [the descendants of] Jacob, have committed. But it was [RHQ] [the people of] Samaria [city who persuaded all the people of] Israel to sin, and it was [RHQ] because the people of Jerusalem [set up altars to worship their gods] that [the other people of] Judah [were persuaded to worship idols on] their hilltops.
¿Cuál es la rebelión de los descendientes de Jacob? ¿No es esto acaso lo que sucede en Samaria? ¿Dónde están los lugares altos de idolatría de Judá? ¿No están en Jerusalén mismo?
6 So Yahweh will cause Samaria to become a heap [of rubble/ruins]; [it will be only] a field for planting vineyards. He will cause the stones of its [buildings] to roll down into the valley, and the foundations [of the buildings] will be uncovered.
Por lo tanto, yo haré que Samaria quede como una pila de escombros en el campo, un sitio para plantar viñedos. Dejaré que sus piedras rueden cuesta abajo hasta el valle, y dejaré sus cimientos al descubierto.
7 All the idols in Samaria will be smashed, and the gifts [given to prostitutes at the temples of their idols] will be destroyed in a fire. And because people paid prostitutes there, [their enemies will take away those idols and sell them] to get money to pay to prostitutes [in other countries].
Sus ídolos tallados serán hechos pedazos. Todo lo que ganaron con sus prostitutas en el templo quedará consumido. Todos sus ídolos serán destruidos, porque lo que ella reunió como ganancia de las prostitutas del templo será arrebatado y usado para pagar a otras prostitutas del templo.
8 Because [Samaria will be destroyed], I will weep and wail. I will walk around (barefoot/without any sandals on my feet) and naked. I will howl like a jackal/wolf and screech like an owl,
Por eso lloraré y me lamentaré, caminaré descalzo y desnudo, y aullaré como chacales y gemiré como búhos.
9 because Samaria will be completely destroyed [MET]; nothing can save that city. But the same thing will happen to Judah! [It is as though the enemy army] has [already] reached the city gates of Jerusalem, [the main city where] my people [live].
Su herida no puede curarse, y se ha extendido hasta Judá, tocando ya las puertas de Jerusalén.
10 Do not tell that to [our enemies] in Gath [city in Philistia]! Do not cry, [lest the people there find out what is happening]! [Instead, just] roll in the dirt in Beth-Leaphrah [because the name of that town means ‘house of dust].’
No lo mencionen en Gat, ni se lamenten. Revuélquense en el polvo, habitantes de Bet Leoforá.
11 You people who live in Shaphir [town, whose name means ‘beautiful],’ naked and ashamed, you will be taken [to another country]. [You people in] Beth-Ezel [town] should mourn, [because] no one from Zaanan [town, whose name means ‘one who goes out],’ will go out to help you.
Salgan, habitantes de Safir, vayan desnudos y avergonzados. No salgan, habitantes de Saanán. Lloren, habitantes de Bet Ezel, porque han perdido su consuelo.
12 [The name of] Maroth [town sounds like ‘bitterness];’ everyone there is anxiously waiting for good things to happen to them, but good things will not happen to them; instead, terrible things are about to happen to them, and it will soon happen at the gates of Jerusalem.
El pueblo de Marot espera con ansias por ayuda, pero ha venido desastre sobre ellos de parte del Señor en la puerta de Jerusalén.
13 You people of Lachish [city, whose name sounds like ‘team],’ hitch your horses to pull the chariots [in which you can ride to flee from your enemies]. The Israeli people rebelled against Yahweh, and you (imitated them/did the same evil things that they did), and that caused the people of Jerusalem [IDM] to start sinning, too.
Sujeten al equipo de caballos al carruaje, pueblo de Laquis, porque los pecados del pueblo de Jerusalén comenzaron con ustedes, pues los pecados de Israel fueron hallados primeramente en medio de ustedes.
14 [You people of Judah], send a farewell gift to [the people] of Moresheth [town], [because their enemies will soon destroy it]. [The name of the town Aczib means ‘deception],’ and the kings of Israel [will soon find out that the people of that town] will deceive them.
Envíen regalos de despedida a Moreset. La ciudad de Aczib es un engaño para los reyes de Israel.
15 [The name of your town of] Mareshah [means ‘conqueror],’ and Yahweh will [soon] send someone to conquer your town. [It will be necessary for] the great/glorious leaders of Israel to go [and hide in the cave at] Adullam [city].
Yo enviaré un conquistador que te atacará, pueblo de Moreset. Los líderes de Israel irán a Ádulam.
16 [You people of Judah], shave your heads [while you will be mourning], because your children whom you love will [soon] be (exiled/forced to leave you and go to another country).
Afeiten sus cabezas, porque sus hijos que aman les serán arrebatados. Quédense calvos como el buitre, porque serán deportados lejos de ustedes.
