Micah 3
1 Then I said: “Hear now, O leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel. Should you not know justice?
Rekel sem: »Poslušajte, prosim vas, oh Jakobovi poglavarji in vi princi Izraelove hiše: › Mar ni to za vas, da poznate sodbo?‹
2 You hate good and love evil. You tear the skin from my people and strip the flesh from their bones.
Ki sovražite dobro in ljubite zlo, ki njihovo kožo trgate iz njih in njihovo meso iz njihovih kosti,
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.”
ki tudi jeste meso mojega ljudstva in odirate njihovo kožo iz njih; in lomijo njihove kosti in jih sekajo na koščke, kakor za lonec in kakor meso znotraj kotla.
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.
Potem bodo klicali h Gospodu, toda ne bo jih slišal. Ob tistem času bo celo svoj obraz skril pred njimi, kakor so se oni slabo obnašali v svojih ravnanjih.
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:
Tako govori Gospod glede prerokov, ki mojemu ljudstvu povzročajo, da se moti, ki grizejo s svojimi zobmi in kličejo: ›Mir; ‹ in kdor ne daje v njihova usta, pripravljajo celo vojno zoper njega.
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 bo nad vami noč, da ne boste imeli videnja; in ta vam bo temna, da ne boste vedeževali; in sonce bo zašlo nad preroki in dan bo otemnel nad njimi.
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.”
Takrat bodo vidci osramočeni in vedeževalci zbegani. Da, vsi bodo pokrivali svoje ustnice, kajti tam ni odgovora od Boga.
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.
Toda resnično, jaz sem po Gospodovem duhu poln oblasti, sodbe in moči, da Jakobu razglasim njegov prestopek in Izraelu njegov greh.
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,
Poslušajte to, prosim vas, vi poglavarji Jakobove hiše in princi Izraelove hiše, ki se vam gnusi sodba in izkrivljate vso pravico.
10 who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Sion gradijo s krvjo in Jeruzalem s krivičnostjo.
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.”
Njihovi poglavarji sodijo zaradi nagrade in njihovi duhovniki učijo zaradi plačila in preroki vedežujejo zaradi denarja. Vendar ali se bodo naslonili na Gospoda in rekli: › Mar ni Gospod med nami? Nobeno zlo ne more priti nad 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 bo zaradi vas Sion preoran kakor polje in Jeruzalem bo spremenjen v razvaline in gore [te] hiše kakor visoki kraji gozda.«
