Miqueas 1
Nueva Versión Internacional
1 Esta es la palabra que el Señor dirigió a Miqueas de Moréset, durante los reinados de Jotán, Acaz y Ezequías, reyes de Judá. Esta es la visión que tuvo acerca de Samaria y de Jerusalén.
La venida del Señor
2 Escuchen, pueblos todos;
presten atención la tierra y todo lo que hay en ella.
Desde su santo templo
el Señor, el Señor y Dios,
será testigo en contra de ustedes.
3 ¡Miren! Ya sale el Señor de su morada;
ya baja y se encamina
hacia las alturas de la tierra.
4 A su paso se derriten los montes
como la cera junto al fuego;
se agrietan los valles
como partidos por el agua de un torrente.
5 Y todo esto por la transgresión de Jacob,
por los pecados del pueblo de Israel.
¿Acaso no representa Samaria
la transgresión de Jacob?
¿Y no es acaso en Jerusalén
donde están los altares paganos de Judá?
6 Dejaré a Samaria hecha un montón de ruinas:
¡convertida en campo arado para viñedos!
Arrojaré sus piedras al valle
y pondré al descubierto sus cimientos.
7 Todos sus ídolos serán hechos pedazos;
y todo tu pago será arrojado al fuego.
Yo destrozaré todas sus imágenes.
Lo que ganó como prostituta,
en paga de prostituta se convertirá.
Lamento de Miqueas
8 Por eso lloraré y gritaré de dolor
y andaré descalzo y desnudo.
Aullaré como chacal
y gemiré como avestruz.
9 Porque la herida de Samaria es incurable:
ha llegado hasta Judá.
Se ha extendido hasta mi pueblo,
¡hasta la entrada misma de Jerusalén!
10 No lo anuncien en Gat,[a]
no se entreguen al llanto.
En Bet Leafrá,[b]
revuélquense en el polvo.
11 Habitantes de Safir,[c]
emigren desnudos y humillados.
Los habitantes de Zanán[d]
no se atrevieron a salir.
Bet Ésel está gimiendo,
y va a retirarles su apoyo.
12 Se retuercen esperando el bien,
los habitantes de Marot;[e]
el Señor ha enviado el mal
hasta la entrada misma de Jerusalén.
13 Habitantes de Laquis,[f]
¡enganchen al carro los corceles!
Con ustedes comenzó el pecado de la hija de Sión;
en ustedes se hallaron los delitos de Israel.
14 Por tanto, despídanse
de Moréset Gat.
Los edificios de la ciudad de Aczib[g]
son una trampa para los reyes de Israel.
15 Habitantes de Maresá,[h]
yo enviaré contra ustedes un conquistador
y hasta Adulán irán a parar
los nobles de Israel.
16 Así que rasúrate la barba y rápate la cabeza;
haz duelo por tus amados hijos.
Agranda tu calva como la del buitre,
pues irán al exilio lejos de ti.

Micah 1
American Standard Version
Micah 1
American Standard Version
1 The word of Jehovah that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Hear, ye peoples, all of you; hearken, O earth, and [a]all that therein is: and let the Lord Jehovah be witness [b]against you, the Lord from his holy temple. 3 For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. 4 And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place. 5 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? 6 Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, and as places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations thereof. 7 And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered them, and unto the hire of a harlot shall they return.
8 For this will I lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a lamentation like the ostriches. 9 For her wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah; it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. 10 Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all: at [c]Beth-le-aphrah [d]have I rolled myself in the dust. 11 Pass away, O [e]inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame: the [f]inhabitant of Zaanan is not come forth; the wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the [g]stay thereof. 12 For the [h]inhabitant of Maroth [i]waiteth anxiously for good, because evil is come down from Jehovah unto the gate of Jerusalem. 13 Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O [j]inhabitant of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee. 14 Therefore shalt thou give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall be [k]a deceitful thing unto the kings of Israel. 15 I will yet bring unto thee, O [l]inhabitant of Mareshah, him that shall possess thee: the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam. 16 Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair for the children of thy delight: enlarge thy baldness as the [m]eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.

Micah 1
New International Version
Micah 1
New International Version
1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah of Moresheth(A) during the reigns of Jotham,(B) Ahaz(C) and Hezekiah,(D) kings of Judah(E)—the vision(F) he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Hear,(G) you peoples, all of you,(H)
listen, earth(I) and all who live in it,
that the Sovereign Lord may bear witness(J) against you,
the Lord from his holy temple.(K)
Judgment Against Samaria and Jerusalem
3 Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling(L) place;
he comes down(M) and treads on the heights of the earth.(N)
4 The mountains melt(O) beneath him(P)
and the valleys split apart,(Q)
like wax before the fire,
like water rushing down a slope.
5 All this is because of Jacob’s transgression,
because of the sins of the people of Israel.
What is Jacob’s transgression?
Is it not Samaria?(R)
What is Judah’s high place?
Is it not Jerusalem?
6 “Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,
a place for planting vineyards.(S)
I will pour her stones(T) into the valley
and lay bare her foundations.(U)
7 All her idols(V) will be broken to pieces;(W)
all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
I will destroy all her images.(X)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,(Y)
as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”
Weeping and Mourning
8 Because of this I will weep(Z) and wail;
I will go about barefoot(AA) and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
and moan like an owl.
9 For Samaria’s plague(AB) is incurable;(AC)
it has spread to Judah.(AD)
It has reached the very gate(AE) of my people,
even to Jerusalem itself.
10 Tell it not in Gath[a];
weep not at all.
In Beth Ophrah[b]
roll in the dust.
11 Pass by naked(AF) and in shame,
you who live in Shaphir.[c]
Those who live in Zaanan[d]
will not come out.
Beth Ezel is in mourning;
it no longer protects you.
12 Those who live in Maroth[e] writhe in pain,
waiting for relief,(AG)
because disaster(AH) has come from the Lord,
even to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 You who live in Lachish,(AI)
harness fast horses to the chariot.
You are where the sin of Daughter Zion(AJ) began,
for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Therefore you will give parting gifts(AK)
to Moresheth(AL) Gath.
The town of Akzib[f](AM) will prove deceptive(AN)
to the kings of Israel.
15 I will bring a conqueror against you
who live in Mareshah.[g](AO)
The nobles of Israel
will flee to Adullam.(AP)
16 Shave(AQ) your head in mourning
for the children in whom you delight;
make yourself as bald as the vulture,
for they will go from you into exile.(AR)
