Mihej 2
1 Teško onima koji smišljaju nedjelo i snuju zlo na posteljama svojim! Kad svane dan, oni ga izvrše, jer je sila u njihovoj ruci.
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 Zažele li polja, otimaju ih, i kuće, uzimaju ih; čine nasilje čovjeku i kući njegovoj, vlasniku i posjedu njegovu.
And they covet fields, and seize them, and houses, and take them away. And they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Zato ovako govori Jahve: “Evo tome rodu smišljam zlo iz kojega nećete izvući vratova, niti ćete hoditi ponosito, jer će biti zlo vrijeme.
Therefore thus says Jehovah: Behold, I devise an evil against this family, from which ye shall not remove your necks, nor shall ye walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4 U onaj će vam se dan složiti rugalica, zapjevati tužaljka i reći: 'Propalo je! Posve smo opustošeni, baština je naroda moga otuđena i nitko da mu je vrati, naša polja podijeljena su odmetniku.'
In that day they shall take up a taunt against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation. And say, We are utterly ruined. He changes the portion of my people. How he removes it from me! He divides our fields to the rebellious.
5 Zato neće biti nikoga tko bi bacio kocku za dio tvoj u zboru Jahvinu.”
Therefore thou shall have nobody to cast the line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah.
6 “Ne balite!” - bale oni - “Tako se ne bali! Sramota na nas neće pasti!
Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these, so reproaches shall not depart.
7 Zar će biti proklet dom Jakovljev? Zar je Jahve izgubio strpljivost? Zar on tako postupa? Nisu li riječi njegove ugodne Izraelu, narodu njegovu?”
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah restricted? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?
8 Vi se sami dižete kao neprijatelji narodu mojemu. Čovjeku nezazornu vi otimate kabanicu, onome koji bez straha putuje ratne strahote dosuđujete.
But of late my people have risen up as an enemy. Ye strip off the robe with the garment from those who pass by securely as men turning back from war.
9 Vi izgonite žene moga naroda iz njihovih milih domova; djeci njihovoj zauvijek oduzimate slavu koju sam im dao:
Ye cast out the women of my people from their pleasant houses. Ye take away my glory from their young sons forever.
10 “Ustanite, idite! Ovo nije počivalište! Zbog nečistoće teško vas uže svezalo.”
Arise ye, and depart, for this is not your resting-place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11 Kad bi mogao biti nadahnut čovjek koji izmišlja ovu opsjenu: “Prorokujem ti vino i piće”, on bi bio prorok narodu ovome.
If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, I will prophesy to thee of wine and of strong drink, he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 Svega ću te sabrati, Jakove, sakupit ću Ostatak Izraelov! Smjestit ću ih zajedno kao ovce u toru, kao stado na paši - neće se bojati nikoga.
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture. They shall make great noise because of the multitude of men.
13 Pred njima stupa rušilac: oni će se porušiti i ući, kroz vrata će proći i izaći; pred njima će ići njihov kralj, Jahve će biti na čelu.
The breaker has gone up before them. They have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and have gone out there. And their king has passed on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
