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.
Herran sana, joka tuli mooresetilaiselle Miikalle Jootamin, Aahaan ja Hiskian, Juudan kuningasten, päivinä; se, mitä hän näki Samariaa ja Jerusalemia vastaan.
2 You people everywhere on the earth, pay attention to this [DOU]! Yahweh our God is accusing you from his holy temple [in heaven].
Kuulkaa, kaikki kansat; ota korviisi, maa, ja kaikki, mitä maassa on. Ja olkoon Herra, Herra todistaja teitä vastaan, Herra pyhästä temppelistänsä.
3 He will come down [from heaven] and walk on the tops of the highest mountains.
Sillä katso, Herra lähtee asumuksestaan, astuu alas ja polkee maan kukkuloita.
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.
Vuoret sulavat hänen allansa, ja laaksot halkeavat niinkuin vaha tulen hohteessa, niinkuin vedet, jotka syöksyvät jyrkännettä alas.
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.
Jaakobin rikoksen tähden tapahtuu tämä kaikki ja Israelin heimon syntien tähden. Mistä on Jaakobin rikos? Eikö Samariasta! Ja mistä Juudan uhrikukkulat? Eivätkö Jerusalemista!
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.
Niinpä minä panen Samarian kiviraunioksi kedolle, viinitarhan istutusmaaksi, syöksen laaksoon sen kivet ja paljastan sen perustukset.
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].
Kaikki sen jumalankuvat särjetään, kaikki sen portonpalkat poltetaan tulessa, ja kaikki sen epäjumalankuvat minä hävitän; sillä portonpalkoista se on ne koonnut, ja portonpalkoiksi pitää niitten jälleen tuleman.
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,
Tämän tähden minä tahdon valittaa ja voivotella, käydä avojaloin ja vaipatta, virittää valituslaulun kuin aavikkosudet, suruhuudon kuin kamelikurjet.
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].
Sillä parantumaton on sen haava; se ulottuu Juudaan asti, se käy minun kansani porttiin saakka, aina Jerusalemiin saakka.
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].’
Älkää ilmoittako sitä Gatissa, älkää, älkää itkekö. Minä vieriskelen tuhassa Beet-Leafrassa.
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.
Käy matkaan, Saafirin asujatar, häpeällisesti paljastettuna! Saananin asujatar ei lähde. Beet-Eselin valitus riistää teiltä pysähdyspaikan.
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.
Onnea odottaa tuskaisesti Maarotin asujatar; mutta onnettomuus tulee Herralta Jerusalemin portille.
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.
Valjasta hevoset vaunujen eteen, Laakiin asujatar; sieltä on alku tytär Siionin syntiin, sillä sinussa tavattiin Israelin rikokset.
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.
Sentähden sinä annat eron Mooreset-Gatille. Aksibin talot tulevat olemaan pettymys Israelin kuninkaille.
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].
Minä tuon vieläkin perijän sinulle, Maaresan asujatar. Adullamiin asti kulkee Israelin kunnia.
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).
Ajele ja keritse pääsi paljaaksi lasten tähden, jotka olivat sinun ilosi. Ajele pääsi leveälti paljaaksi, niinkuin on korppikotkalla, sillä he menevät luotasi pois pakkosiirtolaisuuteen.
