Micah 1

1 This is the word of the LORD that came to Micah the Moreshite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem:

1 هَذِهِ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها إِلَى مِيخَا الْمُورَشْتِيِّ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُكْمِ يُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحَزَقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا، بِشَأْنِ السَّامِرَةِ وَأُورُشَلِيمَ.

2 Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth, and everyone in it! May the Lord GOD bear witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.

2 اسْمَعُوا يَا جَمِيعَ الشُّعُوبِ، وَأَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا الأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ مَنْ فِيهَا، وَلْيَكُنِ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ الْمُقَدَّسِ شَاهِداً عَلَيْكُمْ.

3 For behold, the LORD comes forth from His dwelling place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.

3 انْظُرُوا: هَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ خَارِجٌ مِنْ مَقَرِّ سُكْنَاهُ. هُوَذَا يَنْزِلُ لِيَطَأَ مَشَارِفَ الأَرْضِ،

4 The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.

4 فَتَذُوبُ الْجِبَالُ مِنْ تَحْتِ قَدَمَيْهِ، وَتَتَصَدَّعُ الْوِدْيَانُ كَالشَّمْعِ أَمَامَ النَّارِ، كَالْمِيَاهِ الْمُنْصَبَّةِ فِي الْمُنْخَفَضَاتِ.

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

5 مِنْ أَجْلِ آثَامِ يَعْقُوبَ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَا بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَمَا هُوَ ذَنْبُ يَعْقُوبَ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ أَصْنَامَ السَّامِرَةِ؟ وَمَا هِيَ خَطِيئَةُ يَهُوذَا؟ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ أَوْثَانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ؟

6 Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble in the open field, a planting area for a vineyard. I will pour her stones into the valley and expose her foundations.

6 لِذَلِكَ سَأَجْعَلُ السَّامِرَةَ كَوْمَةَ حِجَارَةٍ فِي الْحَقْلِ وَمَغْرَساً لِلْكُرُومِ، وَأَقْذِفُ بِحِجَارَتِهَا إِلَى الْوَادِي، وَأُعَرِّي أَسَاسَاتِهَا.

7 All her carved images will be smashed to pieces; all her wages will be burned in the fire, and I will destroy all her idols. Since she collected the wages of a prostitute, they will be used again on a prostitute.

7 فَتَتَحَطَّمُ كُلُّ أَصْنَامِهَا، وَتُحْرَقُ كُلُّ تَقْدِمَاتِ زِنَاهَا بِالنَّارِ، وَأُدَمِّرُ جَمِيعَ تَمَاثِيلِهَا لأَنَّهَا جَمَعَتْهَا مِنْ أُجْرَةِ زَانِيَةٍ، وَإِلَى زَانِيَةٍ يَكُونُ مَآلُهَا.

8 Because of this I will lament and wail; I will walk barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and mourn like an ostrich.

8 لِهَذَا أَنُوحُ وَأُوَلْوِلُ وَأَمْشِي حَافِياً عُرْيَاناً، وَأُعْوِلُ كَبَنَاتِ آوَى، وَأَنْتَحِبُ كَالنَّعَامِ.

9 For her wound is incurable; it has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem itself.

9 لأَنَّ جُرُوحَ السَّامِرَةِ لَنْ تَنْدَمِلَ، وَهِيَ لابُدَّ أَنْ تُصِيبَ يَهُوذَا، هَا هِيَ قَدْ بَلَغَتْ أَبْوَابَ شَعْبِي أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

10 Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.

10 لَا تُخْبِرُوا فِي جَتَّ، وَلا تَبْكُوا فِي عَكَّاءَ. عَفِّرُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِالتُّرَابِ فِي بَيْتِ عَفْرَةَ.

11 Depart in shameful nakedness, O dwellers of Shaphir. The dwellers of Zaanan will not come out. Beth-ezel is in mourning; its support is taken from you.

11 اخْرُجُوا يَا أَهْلَ شَافِيرَ عَرَايَا مُجَلَّلِينَ بِالْعَارِ، وَلْيَمْكُثْ سُكَّانُ صَانَانَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ خَجَلاً. وَعِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُونَ عَوِيلَ أَهْلِ هَأَيْصِلَ تُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّهَا قَدْ سَقَطَتْ وَلا مَلْجَأَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا.

12 For the dwellers of Maroth pined for good, but calamity came down from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem.

12 لَشَدَّ مَا انْتَظَرَ أَهْلُ مَارُوثَ الْخَيْرَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ الشَّرَّ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى بَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ.

13 Harness your chariot horses, O dweller of Lachish. You were the beginning of sin to the Daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.

13 شُدُّوا الْخَيْلَ إِلَى الْمَرْكَبَاتِ يَا سُكَّانَ لاخِيشَ، لأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ أَوَّلَ مَنِ ارْتَكَبَ الْخَطِيئَةَ بَيْنَ مُدُنِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَفِيكُمْ قَدْ وُجِدَتْ آثَامُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

14 Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel.

14 لِهَذَا تَحْمِلُونَ هَدَايَا وَدَاعٍ إِلَى مُورَشَةِ جَتَّ، وَتُصْبِحُ مَدِينَةُ أَكْزِيبَ خِدْعَةً لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

15 I will again bring a conqueror against you, O dweller of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.

15 وَأَبْعَثُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِقَاهِرٍ يَا أَهْلَ مَرِيشَةَ، فَيَهْرُبُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ نُبَلاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى مَغَارَةِ عَدُلَّامَ.

16 Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair in mourning for your precious children; make yourselves as bald as an eagle, for they will go from you into exile.

16 احْلِقُوا رُؤُوسَكُمْ وَجُزُّوا شُعُورَكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَبْنَاءِ مَسَرَّتِكُمْ. اجْعَلُوا رُؤُوسَكُمْ صَلْعَاءَ كَرَأْسِ النَّسْرِ، لأَنَّهُمْ سَيُؤْخَذُونَ مِنْكُمْ إِلَى السَّبْيِ.
