Micah 1

قَوْلُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى مِيخَا الْمُورَشْتِيِّ فِي أَيَّامِ يُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحَزَقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا، الَّذِي رَآهُ عَلَى السَّامِرَةِ وَأُورُشَلِيمَ:

The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

اِسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الشُّعُوبُ جَمِيعُكُمْ. أَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا الأَرْضُ وَمِلْؤُهَا. وَلْيَكُنِ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمُ، السَّيِّدُ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ قُدْسِهِ.

Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.

فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا الرَّبُّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ وَيَنْزِلُ وَيَمْشِي عَلَى شَوَامِخِ الأَرْضِ،

For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.

فَتَذُوبُ الْجِبَالُ تَحْتَهُ، وَتَنْشَقُّ الْوِدْيَانُ كَالشَّمْعِ قُدَّامَ النَّارِ. كَالْمَاءِ الْمُنْصَبِّ فِي مُنْحَدَرٍ.

And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.

كُلُّ هذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ إِثْمِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ خَطِيَّةِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. مَا هُوَ ذَنْبُ يَعْقُوبَ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ السَّامِرَةَ؟ وَمَا هِيَ مُرْتَفَعَاتُ يَهُوذَا؟ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمَ؟

For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

«فَأَجْعَلُ السَّامِرَةَ خَرِبَةً فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، مَغَارِسَ لِلْكُرُومِ، وَأُلْقِي حِجَارَتَهَا إِلَى الْوَادِي، وَأَكْشِفُ أُسُسَهَا.

Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.

وَجَمِيعُ تَمَاثِيلِهَا الْمَنْحُوتَةِ تُحَطَّمُ، وَكُلُّ أَعْقَارِهَا تُحْرَقُ بِالنَّارِ، وَجَمِيعُ أَصْنَامِهَا أَجْعَلُهَا خَرَابًا، لأَنَّهَا مِنْ عُقْرِ الزَّانِيَةِ جَمَعَتْهَا وَإِلَى عُقْرِ الزَّانِيَةِ تَعُودُ».

And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.

مِنْ أَجْلِ ذلِكَ أَنُوحُ وَأُوَلْوِلُ. أَمْشِي حَافِيًا وَعُرْيَانًا. أَصْنَعُ نَحِيبًا كَبَنَاتِ آوَى، وَنَوْحًا كَرِعَالِ النَّعَامِ.

Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.

لأَنَّ جِرَاحَاتِهَا عَدِيمَةُ الشِّفَاءِ، لأَنَّهَا قَدْ أَتَتْ إِلَى يَهُوذَا، وَصَلَتْ إِلَى بَابِ شَعْبِي إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

لاَ تُخْبِرُوا فِي جَتَّ، لاَ تَبْكُوا فِي عَكَّاءَ. تَمَرَّغِي فِي التُّرَابِ فِي بَيْتِ عَفْرَةَ.

Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.

اُعْبُرِي يَا سَاكِنَةَ شَافِيرَ عُرْيَانَةً وَخَجِلَةً. السَّاكِنَةُ فِي صَانَانَ لاَ تَخْرُجُ. نَوْحُ بَيْتِ هَأَيْصِلَ يَأْخُذُ عِنْدَكُمْ مَقَامَهُ،

Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth–ezel; he shall receive of you his standing.

لأَنَّ السَّاكِنَةَ فِي مَارُوثَ اغْتَمَّتْ لأَجْلِ خَيْرَاتِهَا، لأَنَّ شَرًّا قَدْ نَزَلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى بَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.

شُدِّي الْمَرْكَبَةَ بِالْجَوَادِ يَا سَاكِنَةَ لاَخِيشَ، هِيَ أَوَّلُ خَطِيَّةٍ لابْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ، لأَنَّهُ فِيكِ وُجِدَتْ ذُنُوبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.

لِذلِكَ تُعْطِينَ إِطْلاَقًا لِمُورَشَةِ جَتَّ. تَصِيرُ بُيُوتُ أَكْزِيبَ كَاذِبَةً لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth–gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.

آتِي إِلَيْكِ أَيْضًا بِالْوَارِثِ يَا سَاكِنَةَ مَرِيشَةَ. يَأْتِي إِلَى عَدُلاَّمَ مَجْدُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.

كُونِي قَرْعَاءَ وَجُزِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ بَنِي تَنَعُّمِكِ. وَسِّعِي قَرْعَتَكِ كَالنَّسْرِ، لأَنَّهُمْ قَدِ انْتَفَوْا عَنْكِ.

Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
