ΚAI ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Μειχαίαν τὸν τοῦ Μωρασθεὶ ἐν ¹ ἡμέραις Ἰωαθὰμ καὶ Ἀχὰζ καὶ Ἐζεκίου βασιλέων Ἰούδα, ὑπέρ ὧν εἶδεν περὶ Σαμαρείας καὶ περὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ.

Ἀκούσατε, λαοί, λόγους, καὶ προσεχέτω ἡ γῆ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ἔσται κύριος Κύριος ἐν ὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον, Κύριος ἐξ οἴκου ἁγίου αὐτοῦ.

διότι ἰδοὺ Κύριος ἐκπορεύεται ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταβήσεται ἐπὶ τὰ ὕψη τῆς γῆς,

καὶ σαλευθήσεται τὰ ὄρη ὑποκάτωθεν αὐτοῦ, καὶ αἱ κοιλάδες τακήσονται ὡς κηρὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου πυρός, καὶ ὡς ὕδωρ καταφερόμενον ἐν καταβάσει.

διὰ ἀσέβειαν Ἰακὼβ πάντα ταῦτα, καὶ διὰ ἁμαρτίαν οἴκου Ἰσραήλ. τίς ἡ ἀσέβεια τοῦ Ἰακώβ, οὐ Σαμάρεια καὶ τίς ἡ ἁμαρτία οἵκου Ἰούδα, οὐχὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ;

καὶ θήσομαι Σαμάρειαν εἰς ὀπωροφυλάκιον ἀγροῦ καὶ εἰς φυτίαν ἀμπελῶνος, καὶ κατασπάσω εἰς χάος τοὺς λίθους αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς ἀποκαλύψω·

καὶ πάντα τὰ γλυπτὰ αὐτῆς κατακόψουσιν, καὶ πάντα τὰ μισθώματα αὐτῆς ἐμπρήσουσιν ἐν πυρί, καὶ πάντα τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτῆς θήσομαι εἰς ἀφανισμόν· διότι ἐκ μισθωμάτων πορνείας συνήγαγεν, καὶ ἐκ μισθωμάτων πορνείας ²⁴ συνέστρεψεν.

ἔυεκεν τούτου κόψεται καὶ θρηνήσει, πορεύσεται ἀνυπόδετος καὶ γυμνή, ποιήσεται κοπετὸν ὡς δρακόντων καὶ πένθος ὡς θυγατέρων σειρήνων·

ὅτι κατεκράτησεν ἡ πληγὴ αὐτῆς, διότι ἥλθεν ἕως Ἰούδα καὶ ἥψατο ἕως πύλης λαοῦ μου, ἕως Ἰερουσαλήμ.

Οἱ ἐν Γέθ, μὴ μεγαλύνεσθε, οἱ ἐν Ἀκείμ, μὴ ἀνοικοδομεῖτε ἐξ οἴκου καταγέλωτα· γῆν καταπάσασθε καταγέλωτα ὑμῶν·

κατοικοῦσα καλῶς τὰς πόλεις αὐτῆς, οὐκ ἐξῆλθεν κατοικοῦσα Σεναάρ, κόψασθαι οἶκον ἐχόμενον αὐτῆς· λήμψεται ἐξ ὑμῶν πληγὴν ὀδύνης.

τίς ἡρξατο εἰς ἀγαθὰ κατοικούσῃ ὀδύνας ; ὅτι κατέβη κακὰ παρὰ Κυρίου ἐπὶ πύλας Ἰερουσαλήμ,

ψόφος ἁρμάτων καὶ ἱππευόντων. κατοικοῦσα λαχεἱς ἀρχηγὸς ἁμαρτίας αὕτη ἐστὶν τῇ θυγατρὶ Σειών, ὅτι ἐν σοὶ εὑρέθησαν ἀσέβειαι τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

διὰ τοῦτο δώσει ἐξαποστελλομένους ἕως κληρονομίας Γέθ, οἴκους ματαί ους, εἰς κενὸν ἐγένοντο τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ·

ἕως τοῖς κληρονόμους ἀγάγωσιν, κατοικοῦσα Λάχεις· κληρονομία ἕως Ὀδολλὰμ ἤξει, ἡ δόξα τῆς θυγατρὸς Ἰσραήλ.

ξύρησαι καὶ κεῖραι ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα τὰ τρυφερά σου, ἐνπλάτυνον τὴν χηρίαν σου ὡς ἀετός, ὅτι ήχμαλωτεύθησαν ἀπὸ σοῦ.

Μιχαίας (Greek) (Septuaginta. The Old Testament in Greek According to the Septuagint. Volume 3: Hosea-4 Maccabees, Psalms of Solomon, Enoch, The Odes. Swete, Henry Barclay, editor. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1905)

Translations (1)

Micah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 1 focus

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

Hear, you peoples, all of you. Listen, O earth, and all that is therein: And let the Lord Yahweh be witness against you, The Lord from his holy temple.

For, behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place, And will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.

The mountains melt under him, And the valleys split apart, Like wax before the fire, Like waters that are poured down a steep place.

All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, And for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn’t it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren’t they Jerusalem?

Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field, Like places for planting vineyards; And I will pour down its stones into the valley, And I will uncover its foundations.

All her idols will be beaten to pieces, And all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, And all her images I will destroy; For of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, And to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.

For this I will lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will howl like the jackals, And moan like the daughters of owls.

For her wounds are incurable; For it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, Even to Jerusalem.

Don’t tell it in Gath, Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.

Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won’t come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.

For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, Because evil has come down from Yahweh to the gate of Jerusalem.

Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; For the transgressions of Israel were found in you.

Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.

I will yet bring to you, inhabitant of Mareshah, He who is the glory of Israel will come to Adullam.

Shave your heads, And cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture; For they have gone into captivity from you!
