1
[1]The word of the Lord, which was maad to `Mychee of Morasti, in the daies of Joathan, Achas, Ezechie, kyngis of Juda; which word he sai on Samarie, and Jerusalem. [1]The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to MicahH4318 the MorasthiteH4183 in the daysH3117 of JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH3169, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, which he sawH2372[H8804] concerning SamariaH8111 and JerusalemH3389.
[2]Here ye, alle puplis, and the erthe perseyue, and plentee therof, and be the Lord God to you in to a witnesse, the Lord fro his hooli temple. [2]HearH8085[H8798], all ye peopleH5971; hearkenH7181[H8685], O earthH776, and all that thereinH4393 is: and let the LordH136 GODH3069 be witnessH5707 against you, the LordH136 from his holyH6944 templeH1964.
[3]For lo! the Lord schal go out of his place, and schal come doun, and schal trede on hiy thingis of erthe. [3]For, behold, the LORDH3068 cometh forthH3318[H8802] out of his placeH4725, and will come downH3381[H8804], and treadH1869[H8804] upon the high placesH1116 of the earthH776.
[4]And mounteyns schulen be waastid vndur hym, and valeis schulen be kit, as wex fro the face of fier, as watirs that rennen in to a pit. [4]And the mountainsH2022 shall be moltenH4549[H8738] under him, and the valleysH6010 shall be cleftH1234[H8691], as waxH1749 beforeH6440 the fireH784, and as the watersH4325 that are pouredH5064[H8716] down a steep placeH4174.
[5]In the grete trespas of Jacob is al this thing, and in the synnes of the hous of Israel. Which is the greet trespas of Jacob? whether not Samarie? and whiche ben the hiy thingis of Juda? whether not Jerusalem? [5]For the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290 is all this, and for the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. What is the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290? is it not SamariaH8111? and what are the high placesH1116 of JudahH3063? are they not JerusalemH3389?
[6]And Y schal put Samarie as an heep of stoonys in the feeld, whanne a vynyerd is plauntid; and Y schal drawe awei the stoonys therof in to a valei, and Y schal schewe the foundementis therof. [6]Therefore I will makeH7760[H8804] SamariaH8111 as an heapH5856 of the fieldH7704, and as plantingsH4302 of a vineyardH3754: and I will pour downH5064[H8689] the stonesH68 thereof into the valleyH1516, and I will discoverH1540[H8762] the foundations thereofH3247.
[7]And alle `grauun ymagis therof schulen be betun togidere, and alle hiris therof schulen be brent in fier; and Y schal putte alle idols therof in to perdicioun; for of hiris of an hoore tho ben gaderid, and `til to hire of an hoore tho schulen turne ayen. [7]And all the graven imagesH6456 thereof shall be beaten to piecesH3807[H8714], and all the hiresH868 thereof shall be burnedH8313[H8735] with the fireH784, and all the idolsH6091 thereof will I layH7760[H8799] desolateH8077: for she gatheredH6908[H8765] it of the hireH868 of an harlotH2181[H8802], and they shall returnH7725[H8799] to the hireH868 of an harlotH2181.[H8802]
[8]On this thing Y schal weile and yelle, Y schal go spuylid and nakid; Y schal make weilyng of dragouns, and mournyng as of ostrigis. [8]Therefore I will wailH5594[H8799] and howlH3213[H8686], I will goH3212[H8799] strippedH7758[H8675][H7758] and nakedH6174: I will makeH6213[H8799] a wailingH4553 like the dragonsH8577, and mourningH60 as the owlsH1323.[H3284]
[9]For wounde therof is dispeirid; for it cam til to Juda, it touchide the yate of my puple, til to Jerusalem. [9]For her woundH4347 is incurableH605[H8803]; for it is comeH935[H8804] unto JudahH3063; he is comeH5060[H8804] unto the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, even to JerusalemH3389.
[10]In Geth nyle ye telle, bi teeris wepe ye not; in the hous of dust with dust togidere sprynge you. [10]DeclareH5046[H8686] ye it not at GathH1661, weepH1058[H8799] ye not at allH1058[H8800]: in the house of AphrahH1036 rollH6428[H8690][H8675][H6428][H8694] thyself in the dustH6083.
[11]And ye a fair dwellyng passe, which is confoundid with yuel fame; it is not goon out, which dwellith in the goyng out; a niy hous schal take of you weilyng, which stood to it silf. [11]Pass ye awayH5674[H8798], thou inhabitantH3427[H8802] of SaphirH8208, having thy shameH1322 nakedH6181: the inhabitantH3427[H8802] of ZaananH6630 came not forthH3318[H8804] in the mourningH4553 of BethezelH1018; he shall receiveH3947[H8799] of you his standingH5979.
[12]For it is maad sijk to good, which dwellith in bitternessis. For yuel cam doun fro the Lord in to the yate of Jerusalem, noise of foure horsid cart, [12]For the inhabitantH3427[H8802] of MarothH4796 waited carefullyH2342[H8804] for goodH2896: but evilH7451 came downH3381[H8804] from the LORDH3068 unto the gateH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
