1 La Palabra de Yavé que vino a Miqueas de Moreset, en días de Jotam, Acaz y Ezequías, reyes de Judá, lo que vio sobre Samaria y Jerusalén.
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 ¡Escuchen, pueblos todos! Atiende, oh tierra, y lo que hay en ti. Sea ʼAdonay Yavé Testigo contra ustedes, desde su santo Templo.
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 Porque miren: Yavé sale de su lugar, descenderá y caminará 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 Las montañas se derretirán debajo de Él como cera junto al fuego. Los valles se hendirán como agua derramada sobre una pendiente.
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 Todo esto sucederá por la transgresión de Jacob y por los pecados de la Casa de Israel. ¿Cuál es la rebelión de Jacob? ¿No es Samaria? ¿Y cuál es el lugar alto de Judá? ¿No es Jerusalén?
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 Pues convertiré a Samaria en una pila de ruinas en el campo abierto, tierra para plantar viñas. Rodaré sus piedras hacia el valle y dejaré sus cimientos al descubierto.
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 Todos sus ídolos serán destrozados, y todas sus ofrendas quemadas. Arrasaré todos sus ídolos porque los obtuvo como regalos de prostitutas, y volverán a regalos de prostitutas.
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 Por eso tengo que lamentar y gemir, andar descalzo y desnudo y hacer un lamento como los chacales y un quejido como los 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 Porque su llaga es incurable. Llegó a Judá porque llegó hasta la puerta de mi pueblo, a Jerusalén.
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 No lo anuncien en Gat, ni se entreguen al llanto. ¡Revuélcate en el polvo en Bet-le-afrá!
10 Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
11 ¡Pasa en vergonzosa desnudez, oh habitante de Safir! El habitante de Saanán no sale. Bet-esel llora y te quita su apoyo.
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 El habitante de Marot anhela ansiosamente el bien, pues de parte de Yavé bajó el mal hasta la puerta de Jerusalén.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Yahweh to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 ¡Ata el carruaje a veloces corceles, oh habitante de Laquis! Allí comenzó el pecado de la hija de Sion. Allí se hallaron las transgresiones 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 Por tanto, ustedes darán regalos a Moreset-gat, pues la casa de Aczib defraudó a 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 Además, oh habitante de Maresa, traeré sobre ti al que toma posesión, y la nobleza de Israel se refugiará en Adulam.
15 I will yet bring a conqueror to you, inhabitants of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
16 ¡Rápate y trasquílate por los hijos de tus delicias! Ensancha tu calva como la del buitre, porque se irán de ti en cautiverio.
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.
