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.
Teško meni! jer sam kao kad se obere ljetina, kao kad se pabirèi poslije branja vinogradskoga; nema grozda za jelo, ranoga voæa želi duša moja.
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.
Nesta pobožnoga sa zemlje i nema pravoga meðu ljudima, svi vrebaju krv, svaki lovi brata svojega mrežom.
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.
Da èine zlo objema rukama što više mogu, ište knez; i sudija sudi za platu, i ko je velik govori opaèinu duše svoje, i spleæu je.
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.
Najbolji je izmeðu njih kao trn, najpraviji je gori od trnjaka; dan stražara tvojih, pohoðenje tvoje, doðe, sada æe se smesti.
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.
Ne vjerujte prijatelju, ne oslanjajte se na voða; od one koja ti na krilu leži, èuvaj vrata usta svojih.
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.
Jer sin grdi oca, kæi ustaje na mater svoju, snaha na svekrvu svoju, neprijatelji su èovjeku domašnji njegovi.
7 But I will look towards the Lord. I will wait for God, my Savior. My God will hear me.
Ali ja æu Gospoda pogledati, èekaæu Boga spasenja svojega; uslišiæe me Bog moj.
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.
Nemoj mi se radovati, neprijateljice moja; ako padoh, ustaæu; ako sjedim u mraku, Gospod æe mi biti vidjelo.
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.
Podnosiæu gnjev Gospodnji, jer mu zgriješih, dok ne raspravi parbu moju i da mi pravicu; izvešæe me na vidjelo, vidjeæu pravdu njegovu.
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.
Neprijateljica æe moja vidjeti, i sram æe je pokriti, koja mi govori: gdje je Gospod Bog tvoj? oèi æe je moje vidjeti; sada æe se ona pogaziti kao blato na ulicama.
11 The day that your walls will be rebuilt, in that day the law will be far away.
U koje se vrijeme sazidaju zidovi tvoji, u to æe vrijeme otiæi zapovijest nadaleko;
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.
U to æe vrijeme dolaziti k tebi od Asirske do tvrdijeh gradova, i od tvrdijeh gradova do rijeke, i od mora do mora, i od gore do gore.
13 And the land will be in desolation, because of its inhabitants and because of the fruit of their intentions.
A zemlja æe biti pusta sa stanovnika svojih, za plod djela njihovijeh.
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.
Pasi narod svoj s palicom svojom, stado našljedstva svojega, koje živi osamljeno u šumi, usred Karmila; neka pasu po Vasanu i po Galadu, kao u staro vrijeme.
15 As in the days of your departure from the land of Egypt, I will reveal miracles to him.
Kao u vrijeme kad si izašao iz zemlje Misirske pokazaæu mu èudesa.
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.
Narodi æe vidjeti, i postidjeæe se od sve sile svoje; metnuæe ruku na usta, uši æe im zagluhnuti.
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.
Lizaæe prah kao zmija; kao bubine zemaljske drkæuæi ižlješæe iz rupa svojih; pritrèaæe uplašeni ka Gospodu Bogu našemu, i tebe æe se bojati.
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.
Ko je Bog kao ti? koji prašta bezakonje i prolazi prijestupe ostatku od našljedstva svojega, ne drži dovijeka gnjeva svojega, jer mu je mila milost.
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.
Opet æe se smilovati na nas; pogaziæe naša bezakonja; baciæeš u dubine morske sve grijehe njihove.
20 You will give the truth to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, which you swore to our fathers from the ancient days.
Pokazaæeš istinu Jakovu, milost Avramu, kako si se zakleo ocima našim u staro vrijeme.
