Micah 3
1 Then I said: “Hear now, O leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel. Should you not know justice?
Zato rekoh: èujte, poglavice Jakovljeve i knezovi doma Izrailjeva, ne treba li vam znati šta je pravo?
2 You hate good and love evil. You tear the skin from my people and strip the flesh from their bones.
Koji mrzite na dobro a ljubite zlo, sadirete kožu s njih i meso s kosti njihovijeh;
3 You eat the flesh of my people after stripping off their skin and breaking their bones. You chop them up like flesh for the cooking pot, like meat in a cauldron.”
I jedete meso naroda mojega i sadirete kožu s njih i kosti im prebijate, i sasijecate kao u lonac i kao meso u kotao.
4 Then they will cry out to the LORD, but He will not answer them. At that time He will hide His face from them because of the evil they have done.
Tada æe vikati ka Gospodu, ali ih neæe uslišiti, nego æe sakriti lice svoje od njih u ono vrijeme, kako oni zlo radiše.
5 This is what the LORD says: “As for the prophets who lead My people astray, who proclaim peace while they chew with their teeth, but declare war against one who puts nothing in their mouths:
Ovako veli Gospod za proroke koji zavode moj narod, koji grizu zubima svojim i vièu: mir; i ako im ko ne da ništa u usta, dižu rat na nj.
6 Therefore night will come over you without visions, and darkness without divination. The sun will set on these prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them.
Zato æe vam utvara biti noæ i proricanje vaše tama; i sunce æe zaæi tijem prorocima i dan æe im se smraèiti.
7 Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God.”
Tada æe se postidjeti vidioci, i vraèari æe se posramiti, i svi æe zastrijeti usne svoje, jer neæe biti odgovora Božijega.
8 As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the LORD, with justice and courage, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.
Ali ja sam pun sile od duha Gospodnjega, i suda i hrabrosti da kažem Jakovu zloèinstvo njegovo i Izrailju grijeh njegov.
9 Now hear this, O leaders of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and pervert all that is right,
Èujte ovo, poglavice doma Jakovljeva i knezovi doma Izrailjeva, koji se gadite na pravdu, i sve što je pravo izvræete;
10 who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Koji gradite Sion krvlju i Jerusalim bezakonjem.
11 Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets practice divination for money. Yet they lean upon the LORD, saying, “Is not the LORD among us? No disaster can come upon us.”
Poglavari njegovi sude po mitu, i sveštenici njegovi uèe za platu, i proroci njegovi gataju za novce, a na Gospoda se oslanjaju govoreæi: nije li Gospod usred nas? neæe doæi zlo na nas.
12 Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.
Zato æe se s vas Sion preorati kao njiva, i Jerusalim æe postati gomila, i gora od doma visoka šuma.
