Michaeas 1
1 And the word of the Lord came to Michaeas the son of Morasthi, in the days of Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, concerning what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem.
HERRENS Ord, som, i de Dage da Jotam, Akaz og Ezekias var Konger i Juda, kom til Mika fra Moresjet, og som han skuede om Samaria og Jerusalem.
2 Hear [these] words, you people; and let the earth give heed, and all that are in it: and the Lord God shall be among you for a testimony, the Lord out of his holy habitation.
Alle I Folkeslag, hør, lyt til, du Jord, med din Fylde, at den Herre HERREN kan staa som Vidne blandt eder, Herren fra sit hellige Tempel.
3 For, behold, the Lord comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and will go upon the high places of the earth.
Thi se, fra sit Sted gaar HERREN ud, stiger ned, skrider frem over Jordens Høje;
4 And the mountains shall be shaken under him, and the valleys shall melt like wax before the fire, and as water rushing down a declivity.
under ham smelter Bjerge, og Dale slaar dybe Revner, som Voks, der smelter i Ilden, som Vand, gydt ned ad en Skrænt —
5 All these [calamities are] for the transgression of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what is the sin of the house of Juda? [is it] not Jerusalem?
alt dette for Jakobs Brøde, for Israels Huses Synder. Hvem voldte Jakobs Brøde? Mon ikke Samaria? Hvem voldte Judas Synd? Mon ikke Jerusalem?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria [as] a store-house of the fruits of the field, and [as] a planting of a vineyard: and I will utterly demolish her stones, and I will expose her foundations.
Samaria gør jeg til Grushob, dets Mark til Vingaardsjord; jeg styrter dets Sten i Dalen, dets Grundvolde bringer jeg for Lyset.
7 And they shall cut in pieces all the graven images, and all that she has hired they shall burn with fire, and I will utterly destroy all her idols: because she has gathered of the hires of fornication, and of the hires of fornication has she amassed [wealth].
Dets Billeder sønderslaas alle, dets Skøgeløn brændes i Ild; jeg tilintetgør alle dets Afguder; thi af Skøgeløn er de samlet, til Skøgeløn bliver de atter.
8 Therefore shall she lament and wail, she shall go barefooted, and [being] naked she shall make lamentation as [that] of serpents, and mourning as of the daughters of sirens.
Derfor vil jeg klage og jamre, gaa nøgen med bare Fødder, istemme Klage som Sjakaler, jamrende Skrig som Strudse:
9 For her plague has become grievous; for it has come even to Juda; and has reached to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Ulægeligt er HERRENS Slag, thi det naar til Juda, til mit Folks Port rækker det hen, til Jerusalem.
10 You that are in Geth, exalt not yourselves, and you Enakim, do not rebuild from [the ruins of] the house in derision: sprinkle dust [in the place of] your laughter.
Forkynd det ikke i Gat, græd ikke i Bokim! Vælt jer i Støvet i Bet-Leafra!
11 The inhabitant of Sennaar, fairly inhabiting her cities, came not forth to mourn for the house next to her: she shall receive of you the stroke of grief.
Der stødes i Horn for eder, Sjafirs Borgere; ej gaar Za'anans Borgere ud af deres By. Bet-Ezels Lod bliver Klage, Hug og Ve;
12 Who has begun [to act] for good to her that dwells in sorrow? for calamities have come down from the Lord upon the gates of Jerusalem,
og hvor kan Marots Indbyggere haabe paa Lykke? Thi Ulykke kom ned fra HERREN til Jerusalems Porte.
13 [even] a sound of chariots and horsemen: the inhabitants of Lachis, she is the leader of sin to the daughter of Sion: for in you were found the transgressions of Israel.
Spænd Hestene for Vognen, I, som bor i Lakisj! Syndens Begyndelse var du for Zions Datter; ja, Israels Overtrædelser fandtes i dig.
14 Therefore shall he cause men to be sent forth as far as the inheritance of Geth, [even] vain houses; they are become vanity to the kings of Israel;
Giv derfor Moresjet-Gat en Skilsmissegave! En svigtende Bæk er Akzibs Huse for Israels Konger.
15 until they bring the heirs, O inhabitant of Lachis: the inheritance shall reach to Odollam, [even] the glory of the daughter of Israel.
End sender jeg eder en Ransmand, Maresjas Borgere! Til Adullam skal Israels Herlighed komme.
16 Shave your hair, and make yourself bald for your delicate children; increase your widowhood as an eagle; for [your people] are gone into captivity from you.
Klip dig skaldet over dine elskede Børn, bredskaldet som en Grib; thi de bortføres fra dig.
