< Micheáš 2 >

1 Běda těm, kteříž vymýšlejí nepravost a ukládají zlé na ložcích svých, a na úsvitě ráno vykonávají je, když jest v moci rukou jejich.
Terrible things will happen to you who lie awake at night, planning to do wicked things. You get up at dawn, and you do those things, [as soon as] you are able to do them.
2 Požádají polí, i vydírají, takž i domů, a odjímají; a tak provozují moc nad mužem i domem jeho, nad jedním každým i dědictvím jeho.
You want fields [that belong to other people], so you seize them; you also take their houses. You cheat people to get their homes, taking away the property that belongs to their families.
3 Protož takto praví Hospodin: Aj, já myslím proti čeledi té věc zlou, odkudž nevyňmete hrdel vašich, aniž budete choditi vysokomyslně; nebo čas zlý bude.
Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: “I will cause you people to experience disasters, and you will not be able to escape [MTY] from them. You will no [longer] walk around proudly, because when those things happen, it will be a time of much trouble for you.
4 V ten den užívati budou o vás přísloví, a naříkati budou naříkáním žalostným, řkouce: Do cela zpuštěni jsme, podíl lidu mého proměnil. Jaktě mi jej odjal, a vzav pole naše, rozdělil!
At that time, [your enemies] will make fun of you; they will ridicule you by singing this sad song about you: ‘We are completely ruined; Yahweh is taking our land/fields from us, and he will give it to those who will capture us.’”
5 Protož nebudeš míti, kdožť by vztáhl provazec na los v shromáždění Hospodinovu.
So [when it is the time for the land to be given back to you] people who belong to Yahweh, there will be no one [MTY] who will be able to (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine which land belongs to whom.
6 Neprorokujte. Budou prorokovati, ale nebudou těmto prorokovati, a neponesou pohanění.
The people [who heard me say that] replied to me, “Do not prophesy such things! Do not say that [Yahweh] is going to humiliate us [by causing us to experience disasters]!”
7 Ó kteráž sloveš domem Jákobovým, zdali do těsna vehnán býti má duch Hospodinův? To-liž by skutkové jeho byli? Zdaliž slova má nejsou dobrá tomu, kdož upřímě chodí?
But you people [MTY] of Israel should not [RHQ] talk like that! The Spirit of Yahweh will certainly not [RHQ] be patient [with people who say such things]! People who continually do things that are righteous will certainly [RHQ] like/appreciate what I say.
8 Včera byl lidem mým, již jako nepřítel povstává. Majíce oděv, plášť strhujete s těch, kteříž chodí bezpečně, vyhýbajíce se bitvě.
[But Yahweh says], “[Recently] my people have been acting toward me like an enemy. When soldiers return from fighting [against their enemies], you [rich people refuse to return the coats of those poor soldiers who have borrowed money from you] [and given you their coats to guarantee that they will pay back the money that they borrowed from you]. [It is as though] you are waiting to forcefully take their coats off their backs!
9 Manželky lidu mého vyháníte z domu rozkoší jejich, od dítek jejich odjímáte slávu mou na věky.
You have forced women to leave their nice homes, and you have stolen from their children forever the (blessings/good things) that I wanted to give them.
10 Vstaňte a odejděte, neboť tato není sídlem pro nečistotu. Ztratí vás, a to ztracením jistým.
[So] get up and leave [here]! This is not a place where you can rest [and be safe/protected], because you have (defiled it/caused it to be a place that I hate); it will be completely destroyed.
11 Jestliže za proroka se vydávaje a lež mluvě, říká: Budu tobě prorokovati o víně aneb o nápoji opojujícím, takový bývá prorokem lidu tohoto.
[You people want] a prophet who will lie to you, saying ‘I will preach [that you should drink] plenty of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks!’ That is the [kind of] prophet who [would please] you.”
12 Jistotně zberu tě, Jákobe, docela, jistotně shromáždím ostatky Izraele, a seženu je v hromadu jako ovce v Bozra, jako stádo do prostřed ovčince jeho, i vzejde hluk od lidu.
“[But some day], you descendants of Jacob, you Israeli people who have survived, I will bring you back [from (exile/other countries)], I will gather you together like [SIM] [a shepherd gathers his] sheep from the pasture into a pen [DOU]; there will be many of you in your land/country.
13 Vstoupí ten, kterýž prolamovati bude před nimi. Prolomí, a projdou bránu, a vyjdou skrze ni; ano i král jejich půjde před nimi, a Hospodin na špici jejich.
Your leader will enable them to leave the countries where they have been exiled; he will lead them out of the gates [of their enemies’ cities], [back to your own country]. Your king will lead them; [it is I], Yahweh, who will be their king!”
