Micah, 1

1. The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Moreshethite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw about Samaria and Jerusalem.

1. Rijeè Jahvina, upuæena Miheju Morešeæaninu u vrijeme Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih. Njegova viðenja o Samariji i o Jeruzalemu.

2. All peoples, listen. And may the earth and its fullness pay attention. And may the Lord God be a witness to you, the Lord from his holy temple.

2. Èujte, narodi, vi svi! Slušaj, zemljo, i sve što te ispunja! Gospod Jahve protiv vas æe svjedoèiti - Gospod iz svetoga Hrama svojega!

3. For behold, the Lord will go forth from his place. And he will descend, and he will trample over the high places of the earth.

3. Jer evo: Jahve izlazi iz svetoga mjesta svojega, silazi i hodi po visovima zemaljskim.

4. And the mountains will be consumed under him, and the valleys will be torn apart, like wax before the face of fire, and like waters that rush swiftly downward.

4. Gore se rastapaju pod njegovim koracima i doline rasijedaju kao vosak pred ognjem, kao voda što se razlijeva niz obronak.

5. All this is for the wickedness of Jacob and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the wickedness of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the loftiness of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?

5. Sve je to za zloèinstvo Jakovljevo i za grijehe doma Izraelova. Koje je zloèinstvo Jakovljevo? Nije li Samarija? Što su uzvišice Judine? Nije li Jeruzalem?

6. And I will place Samaria like a pile of stones in the field, when a vineyard is planted. And I will pull down its stones into the valley, and I will reveal her foundations.

6. "Uèinit æu od Samarije kamenu gomilu u polju, ledinu za vinograd. Zavaljat æu kamenje njezino u dolinu, otkrit æu joj temelje.

7. And all her graven images will be cut to pieces, and all her rewards will be burned with fire, and I will place all her idols in perdition. For they have been gathered together from the pay of a kept woman, and even to the pay of a kept woman, they will return.

7. Razbit æe se svi njeni kipovi, sva æe joj se plaæa bludnièka ognjem spaliti, raskomadat æu sve njene idole, jer su od bludnièke plaæe nakupljeni, i opet æe postati plaæom bludnièkom."

8. I will lament and wail about this. I will go out despoiled and naked. I will make a howl like the dragons, and a mourning like the ostriches.

8. "Zato æu zakukati i zaridati, iæi æu gol i bos, zavijat æu kao šakali, urlikat æu kao nojevi.

9. For her wound has been in despair. For it has come even to Judah. It has touched the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

9. Jer njenoj rani nema lijeka, sve do Jude dopire, dotièe Vrata moga naroda, sve do Jeruzalema!

10. Do not be willing to announce it in Gath; may you not lament with tears. In the house of Dust, besprinkle yourselves with dust.

10. Ne objavljujte toga u Gatu, u Akonu nemojte plakati! U Bet Leafri valjajte se u prašini!

11. And cross over to your dwelling place, Beauty, bewildered by disgrace. She did not depart, who dwells at the place of departure. The House nearby, which remained firm by herself, will receive mourning from you.

11. Odlazi sramotno, stanovnice šafirska! Iz svoga grada nije izašla stanovnica saananska! Bet Haesel išèupan je iz temelja, iz svojih èvrstih osnova.

12. For she has been weakened in goodness, who dwells in bitterness. For disaster has descended from the Lord to the gate of Jerusalem.

12. Kako se može nadati sreæi stanovnica marotska? Jer nesreæa silazi od Jahve sve do vrata jeruzalemskih.

13. A tumult of four-horse chariots has stupefied the inhabitants of Lachish. The beginning has been sin for the daughter of Zion, because in you have been found the evil deeds of Israel.

13. Upregni brze konje u bojna kola, stanovnice lakiška! To je bio poèetak grijeha Kæeri sionske, jer su se u tebi našla zloèinstva Izraelova.

14. Because of this, she will send emissaries to the inheritance of Gath: the house of Lying in order to deceive the kings of Israel.

14. Zato æeš dati otpusnicu Morešet Gatu, domovi æe akzipski razoèarati kraljeve izraelske.

15. Nevertheless, I will lead an heir to you, who dwell in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will reach all the way to Adullam.

15. Još æu ti dovesti osvajaèa, stanovnice mareška, stiæi æe do Adulama slava Izraelova.

16. Become bald and shaved for your delicate sons. Increase your baldness like the eagle. For they have been carried into captivity from you.

16. Èupaj kosu i ostriži se za milom djecom svojom! Postani æelava kao orao lešinar, jer su izgnana daleko od tebe."

Fusnote:

1:1-2 - The prophet Micah begins his message with a call to action to the earth and the mountains, emphasizing that God's judgment is imminent. This call emphasizes God's authority over all creation, symbolizing the scope of His judgment (see also Isaiah 2:19 and Revelation 20:11-15).

1:3-4 - God's descent upon Judah and Israel, represented by great destruction, illustrates the seriousness of divine judgment. Micah's vision demonstrates how sin has profound consequences for the nations (see also Ezekiel 7:2-4 and Amos 9:5-6).

1:5-7 - The corruption of Israel and Judah, reflected in the sin of Samaria and Jerusalem, is the primary reason for God's judgment. The sin of the nations, particularly idolatry, will result in destruction, evidencing the nature of God's justice (see also 2 Kings 17:7-18 and Isaiah 1:4).

1:8-9 - The prophet expresses his lament over impending destruction, symbolizing the pain and suffering that come with judgment. Lament is an expression of repentance and recognition of the gravity of sin (see also Jeremiah 4:19 and Amos 6:6).

1:10-16 - The prophet uses city names to illustrate the coming judgment, indicating that God's judgment will affect every corner of the kingdom. The cities mentioned serve as metaphors for the different forms of sin (see also Isaiah 10:28-34 and Jeremiah 23:10).

Stihovi vezani uz Micah, 1:

Micah chapter 1 opens with a powerful prophecy of judgment. How does God respond to the unfaithfulness of His people? This powerful text announces divine judgment on Samaria and Jerusalem, using vivid images of destruction and lamentation. The prophet Micah reveals God's sovereignty over the nations and His holiness that demands justice. The chapter also demonstrates God's broken heart at the need to discipline His people. Consider with us five biblical passages that illuminate the crucial themes of this prophetic chapter.

Isaiah 1:2: "Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the Lord said: 'I raised children and made them grow up, but they rebelled against me.'" - Just as Micah 1 begins with a call for all to listen, Isaiah uses similar language to call attention to God's judgment.

Amos 3:2: "Of all the families of the earth, I have chosen you alone; therefore I will punish them for all their wickedness." - This verse echoes the theme of Micah 1 about God's judgment against his chosen people because of their sins.

Jeremiah 26:18: "Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He said to all the people of Judah: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple hill a thicket.'" - This verse directly quotes Micah 3:12, showing the lasting impact of its prophecy.

Hosea 5:10: "The leaders of Judah are like those who change the boundary marks. I will pour out my wrath on them like a flood of waters." - Just as Micah 1 speaks of judgment on Judah, Hosea uses a similar flood image to describe God's wrath.

2 Kings 18:9-10: "In the fourth year of the reign of Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of the reign of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria marched against Samaria and besieged it. After three years the Assyrians conquered it." - This historical account corresponds to the context of Micah's prophecy about the fall of Samaria in Micah 1:6-7.
