Micah 7
1 Woe is me! For I am like one gathering summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster to eat, no early fig that I crave.
Teško meni! Postao sam kao žetelac ljeti, kao trgač poslije jematve: nema bobice grožđa da je pozobljem, nema smokve ranke za kojom žudim!
2 The godly man has perished from the earth; there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; they hunt one another with a net.
Vjernici su iščezli iz zemlje: nijednog pravednika među ljudima! Svi vrebaju za krvoprolićem, svaki svome bratu mrežu postavlja.
3 Both hands are skilled at evil; the prince and the judge demand a bribe. When the powerful utters his evil desire, they all conspire together.
Njihove ruke za zlo su sposobne: glavar traži dar, sudac sudi prema poklonu, velikaš po svome hiru odlučuje.
4 The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a hedge of thorns. The day for your watchmen has come, the day of your visitation. Now is the time of their confusion.
I najbolji među njima je kao trn, najpravedniji kao drača živica. Iskušenje njihovo danas sa Sjevera dolazi, dolazi ura strave njihove.
5 Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.
Ne pouzdavajte se u bližnjega, ne vjerujte u prijatelja; pred onom koja s tobom dijeli postelju pazi da usta ne otvoriš.
6 For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household.
Jer sin svoga oca zlostavlja, kćerka na majku ustaje, snaha na svoju svekrvu, svakome je dušmanin njegov ukućanin.
7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
A ja, prema Jahvi ja sam zagledan, čekam na Boga koji spasava, Bog moj mene će uslišati.
8 Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.
Ne raduj se mome zlu, dušmanko moja, ako sam pao, ustat ću; ako boravim u tminama, Jahve je svjetlost moja.
9 Because I have sinned against Him, I must endure the rage of the LORD, until He argues my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will see His righteousness.
Moram podnositi srdžbu Jahvinu, jer sam protiv njega sagriješio, sve dok on ne prosudi spor moj i izrekne pravdu; izvest će me na svjetlost, gledat ću pravednost njegovu.
10 Then my enemy will see and will be covered with shame— she who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her; at that time she will be trampled like mud in the streets.
Kada ga moja dušmanka ugleda, od stida će se pokriti ona koja mi je govorila: “Gdje je on, Jahve, tvoj Bog?” Moje će se oči naslađivati kad je ugledam: ona će biti zgažena kao blato na putu.
11 The day for rebuilding your walls will come— the day for extending your boundary.
Dolazi dan kad će se sazidati tvoji bedemi! Toga dana nadaleko će se prostirati tvoje granice!
12 On that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, even from Egypt to the Euphrates, from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
Toga dana dolazit će k tebi od zemlje asirske do Egipta, od Tira do Rijeke, od mora do mora, od gore do gore.
13 Then the earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as the fruit of their deeds.
Zemlja će postat' pustinja zbog stanovnika svojih, zbog djela njihovih.
14 Shepherd with Your staff Your people, the flock of Your inheritance. They live alone in a woodland, surrounded by pastures. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Pasi svoj narod svojom palicom, stado svoje baštine, koje osamljeno živi u šikarju, usred plodnih voćnjaka. Neka pase u Bašanu i Gileadu, kao u davne dane!
15 As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show My wonders.
Kao u dane kad si izašao iz Egipta, pokaži nam čudesa!
16 Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their might. They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become deaf.
Narodi će ih vidjeti i bit će posramljeni uza svu silu svoju; stavit će ruku na usta i uši će im oglušiti.
17 They will lick the dust like a snake, like reptiles slithering on the ground. They will crawl from their holes in the presence of the LORD our God; they will tremble in fear of You.
Lizat će prašinu kao zmija, kao gmazovi koji gmižu po zemlji. Izići će dršćući iz svojih jazbina, prestravljeni i ustrašeni pred tobom.
18 Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance— who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion?
Tko je Bog kao ti koji prašta krivnju, koji grijeh oprašta i prelazi preko prekršaja Ostatka baštine svoje, koji ne ustraje dovijeka u svome gnjevu, nego uživa u pomilovanju?
19 He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.
Još jednom, imaj milosti za nas! Satri naše opačine, baci na dno mora sve grijehe naše!
20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob and loving devotion to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from the days of old.
Udijeli Jakovu vjernost svoju, dobrotu svoju Abrahamu, kako si se zakleo ocima našim od dana iskonskih.
