Micah 7
1 Woe to me, for I have become just like one who gleans the clusters of the vintage in autumn. There is no cluster of grapes to consume; my soul desired figs out of season.
vae mihi quia factus sum sicut qui colligit in autumno racemos vindemiae non est botrus ad comedendum praecoquas ficus desideravit anima mea
2 The holy ones pass away from the land, and there is no one righteous among men. All wait in ambush for blood; a man hunts his brother to death.
periit sanctus de terra et rectus in hominibus non est omnes in sanguine insidiantur vir fratrem suum venatur ad mortem
3 The evil of their hands, they call good. The leader is demanding, and the judge is yielding, and the great is speaking the desire of his soul, and they have confused it.
malum manuum suarum dicunt bonum princeps postulat et iudex in reddendo est et magnus locutus est desiderium animae suae et conturbaverunt eam
4 Whoever is best among them is like a thorny plant, and he who is righteous is like a thorny hedge. The day of your inspection, your visitation, arrives. Now will be their ruination.
qui optimus in eis est quasi paliurus et qui rectus quasi spina de sepe dies speculationis tuae visitatio tua venit nunc erit vastitas eorum
5 Do not be willing to believe a friend. And do not be willing to confide in a commander. From her, who sleeps in your bosom, keep the doors of your mouth closed.
nolite credere amico et nolite confidere in duce ab ea quae dormit in sinu tuo custodi claustra oris tui
6 For the son acts with contempt for the father, and the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and a man’s enemies are those of his own household.
quia filius contumeliam facit patri filia consurgit adversus matrem suam nurus contra socrum suam inimici hominis domestici eius
7 But I will look towards the Lord. I will wait for God, my Savior. My God will hear me.
ego autem ad Dominum aspiciam expectabo Deum salvatorem meum audiet me Deus meus
8 You, my enemy, should not rejoice over me because I have fallen. I will rise up, when I sit in darkness. The Lord is my light.
ne laeteris inimica mea super me quia cecidi consurgam cum sedero in tenebris Dominus lux mea est
9 I will carry the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he may judge my case and execute judgment for me. He will lead me into the light. I will behold his justice.
iram Domini portabo quoniam peccavi ei donec iudicet causam meam et faciat iudicium meum educet me in lucem videbo in iustitiam eius
10 And my enemy will look, and she will be covered with confusion, she who says to me, “Where is the Lord your God?” My eyes will look upon her. Now she will be trampled underfoot like the mud of the streets.
et aspiciet inimica mea et operietur confusione quae dicit ad me ubi est Dominus Deus tuus oculi mei videbunt in eam nunc erit in conculcationem ut lutum platearum
11 The day that your walls will be rebuilt, in that day the law will be far away.
dies ut aedificentur maceriae tuae in die illa longe fiet lex
12 In that day also, they will come towards you even from Assur, and even to the fortified cities, and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
in die illa et usque ad te veniet Assur et usque ad civitates munitas et a civitatibus munitis usque ad flumen et ad mare de mari et ad montem de monte
13 And the land will be in desolation, because of its inhabitants and because of the fruit of their intentions.
et erit terra in desolationem propter habitatores suos et propter fructum cogitationum eorum
14 With your rod, pasture your people, the flock of your inheritance, living alone in the narrow forest, in the midst of Carmel. They will graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the ancient days.
pasce populum tuum in virga tua gregem hereditatis tuae habitantes solos in saltu in medio Carmeli pascentur Basan et Galaad iuxta dies antiquos
15 As in the days of your departure from the land of Egypt, I will reveal miracles to him.
secundum dies egressionis tuae de terra Aegypti ostendam ei mirabilia
16 The nations will look, and they will be confounded at the strength of them all. They will place hand over mouth; their ears will be deaf.
videbunt gentes et confundentur super omni fortitudine sua ponent manus super os aures eorum surdae erunt
17 They will lick the dust like serpents, and, like the creeping things of the earth, they will be disturbed in their houses. They will dread the Lord our God, and they will fear you.
lingent pulverem sicut serpens velut reptilia terrae proturbabuntur de aedibus suis Dominum Deum nostrum desiderabunt et timebunt te
18 What God is like you, who takes away iniquity and passes over the sin of the remnant of your inheritance? No longer will he send forth his fury, because he is willing to be merciful.
quis Deus similis tui qui aufers iniquitatem et transis peccatum reliquiarum hereditatis tuae non inmittet ultra furorem suum quoniam volens misericordiam est
19 He will turn back and have mercy on us. He will put away our iniquities, and he will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
revertetur et miserebitur nostri deponet iniquitates nostras et proiciet in profundum maris omnia peccata nostra
20 You will give the truth to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, which you swore to our fathers from the ancient days.
dabis veritatem Iacob misericordiam Abraham quae iurasti patribus nostris a diebus antiquis
