1 ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Μιχαίαν τὸν τοῦ Μωρασθεὶ, ἐν ἡμέραις Ἰωάθαμ, καὶ Ἄχαζ, καὶ Ἐζεκίου βασιλέων Ἰούδα, ὑπὲρ ὧν εἶδε περὶ Σαμαρείας καὶ περὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
1 PALABRA de Jehová que fué á Miqueas de Morasti en días de Jotham, Achâz, y Ezechîas, reyes de Judá: lo que vió sobre Samaria y Jerusalem.
1 Yahweh’s word that came to Micah of Morasheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Ἀκούσατε λαοὶ λόγους, καὶ προσεχέτω ἡ γῆ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἔσται Κύριος Κύριος ἐν ὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον, Κύριος ἐξ οἴκου ἁγίου αὐτοῦ.
2 Oid, pueblos todos: está atenta, tierra, y todo lo que en ella hay: y el Señor Jehová, el Señor desde su santo templo sea testigo contra vosotros.
2 Hear, you peoples, all of you! Listen, O earth, and all that is therein. Let the Lord Yahweh be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 Διότι ἰδοὺ Κύριος ἐκπορεύεται ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταβήσεται, καὶ ἐπιβήσεται ἐπὶ τὰ ὕψη τῆς γῆς,
3 Porque he aquí, Jehová sale de su lugar, y descenderá, y hollará sobre las alturas de la tierra.
3 For behold, Yahweh comes out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
4 καὶ σαλευθήσεται τὰ ὄρη ὑποκάτωθεν αὐτοῦ, καὶ αἱ κοιλάδες τακήσονται ὡσεὶ κηρὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου πυρὸς, καὶ ὡς ὕδωρ καταφερόμενον ἐν καταβάσει.
4 Y debajo de él se derretirán los montes, y los valles se hendirán como la cera delante del fuego, como las aguas que corren por un precipicio.
4 The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 Διʼ ἀσέβειαν Ἰακὼβ πάντα ταῦτα, καὶ διʼ ἁμαρτίαν οἴκου Ἰσραήλ· τίς ἡ ἀσέβεια τοῦ Ἰακώβ; οὐχ ἡ Σαμάρεια; καὶ τίς ἡ ἁμαρτία οἴκου Ἰούδα; οὐχὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ;
5 Todo esto por la rebelión de Jacob, y por los pecados de la casa de Israel. ¿Cuál es la rebelión de Jacob? ¿no es Samaria? ¿Y cuáles son los excelsos de Judá? ¿no es Jerusalem?
5 “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?
6 Καὶ θήσομαι Σαμάρειαν εἰς ὀπωροφυλάκιον ἀγροῦ, καὶ εἰς φυτείαν ἀμπελῶνος, καὶ κατασπάσω εἰς χάος τοὺς λίθους αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς ἀποκαλύψω.
6 Pondré pues á Samaria en majanos de heredad, en tierra de viñas; y derramaré sus piedras por el valle, y descubriré sus fundamentos.
6 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.
7 Καὶ πάντα τὰ γλυπτὰ αὐτῆς κατακόψουσι, καὶ πάντα τὰ μισθώματα αὐτῆς ἐμπρήσουσιν ἐν πυρὶ, καὶ πάντα τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτῆς θήσομαι εἰς ἀφανισμόν· διότι ἐκ μισθωμάτων πορνείας συνήγαγε, καὶ ἐκ μισθωμάτων πορνείας συνέστρεψεν.
7 Y todas sus estatuas serán despedazadas, y todos sus dones serán quemados en fuego, y asolaré todos sus ídolos; porque de dones de rameras los juntó, y á dones de rameras volverán.
7 All her idols will be beaten to pieces, all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and I will destroy all her images; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.”
8 Ἕνεκεν τούτου κόψεται, καὶ θρηνήσει, πορεύσεται ἀνυπόδετος, καὶ γυμνὴ ποιήσεται κοπετὸν ὡς δρακόντων, καὶ πένθος ὡς θυγατέρων σειρήνων.
8 Por tanto lamentaré y aullaré, y andaré despojado y desnudo; haré gemido como de chacales, y lamento como de avestruces.
8 For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the ostriches.
9 Ὅτι κατεκράτησεν ἡ πληγὴ αὐτῆς, διότι ἦλθεν ἕως Ἰούδα, καὶ ἥψατο ἕως πύλης λαοῦ μου, ἕως Ἱερουσαλήμ.
9 Porque su llaga es dolorosa, que llegó hasta Judá; llegó hasta la puerta de mi pueblo, hasta Jerusalem.
9 For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Οἱ ἐν Γὲθ μὴ μεγαλύνεσθε, καὶ οἱ Ἐνακεὶμ μὴ ἀνοικοδομεῖτε ἐξ οἴκου κατὰ γέλωτα, γῆν καταπάσασθε καταγέλωτα ὑμῶν,
10 No lo digáis en Gath, ni lloréis mucho: revuélcate en el polvo de Beth-le-aphrah.
10 Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
11 κατοικοῦσα καλῶς τὰς πόλεις αὐτῆς, οὐκ ἐξῆλθε κατοικοῦσα Σενναὰρ, κόψασθαι οἶκον ἐχόμενον αὐτῆς, λήψεται ἐξ ὑμῶν πληγὴν ὀδύνης.
11 Pásate desnuda con vergüenza, oh moradora de Saphir: la moradora de Saanán no salió al llanto de Beth-esel: tomará de vosotros su tardanza.
11 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.
12 Τίς ἥρξατο εἰς ἀγαθὰ κατοικούσῃ ὀδύνας; ὅτι κατέβη κακὰ παρὰ Κυρίου ἐπὶ πύλας Ἱερουσαλὴμ,
12 Porque la moradora de Maroth tuvo dolor por el bien; por cuanto el mal descendió de Jehová hasta la puerta de Jerusalem.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Yahweh to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 ψόφος ἁρμάτων καὶ ἱππευόντων· κατοικοῦσα Λαχεὶς, ἀρχηγὸς ἁμαρτίας αὕτη ἐστὶ τῇ θυγατρὶ Σιὼν, ὅτι ἐν σοὶ εὑρέθησαν ἀσέβειαι τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
13 Unce al carro dromedarios, oh moradora de Lachîs, que fuiste principio de pecado á la hija de Sión; porque en ti se inventaron las rebeliones de Israel.
13 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.
14 Διατοῦτο δώσει ἐξαποστελλομένους ἕως κληρονομίας Γὲθ, οἴκους ματαίους, εἰς κενὸν ἐγένοντο τοῖς βασιλεῦσι τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ,
14 Por tanto, tú darás dones á Moreseth-gath: las casas de Achzib serán en mentira á los reyes de Israel.
14 Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
15 ἕως τοὺς κληρονόμους ἀγάγωσι, κατοικοῦσα Λαχείς· κληρονομία ἕως Ὀδολλὰμ ἥξει, ἡ δόξα τὴς θυγατρὸς Ἰσραήλ.
15 Aun te traeré heredero, oh moradora de Maresah: la gloria de Israel vendrá hasta Adullam.
15 I will yet bring a conqueror to you, inhabitants of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
16 Ξύρησαι, καὶ κεῖραι ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα τὰ τρυφερά σου, ἐμπλάτυνον τὴν χηρείαν σου ὡς ἀετὸς, ὅτι ᾐχμαλωτεύθησαν ἀπὸ σοῦ.
16 Mésate y trasquílate por los hijos de tus delicias: ensancha tu calva como águila; porque fueron trasportados de ti.
16 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!

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Micah also names the same times as those of his prophecy, after the days of Uzziah; for he names the same three kings as Hosea named,--Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah.

… in the future tense: for instance, He shall come openly, and this from Zechariah, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, and this from Micah, Behold, the Lord cometh out of His place and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.
