< Micah 2 >
1 Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
»Gorje tistim, ki snujejo krivičnost in na svojih posteljah počnejo zlo! Ko je jutro svetlo, to izvajajo, ker je to v moči njihove roke.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away; and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Poželijo si polja in jih zavzamejo z nasiljem, hiše in si jih vzamejo. Tako zatirajo moža, njegovo hišo in njegovo dediščino, celo moža in njegovo dediščino.«
3 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye walk haughtily: for it is an evil time.
Zato tako govori Gospod: »Glej, zoper to družino snujem zlo, od katerega svojih vratov ne boste odstranili niti ne boste hodili ošabno, kajti ta čas je hud.
4 In that day shall they take up a proverb concerning you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We are utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! He hath distributed our fields to the rebellious.
Na tisti dan bo nekdo vzel prispodobo zoper vas in žaloval z otožnim žalovanjem in rekel: ›Popolnoma bomo oplenjeni. Spremenil je delež mojega ljudstva. Kako je to odstranjeno od mene! Obračajoč se stran je razdelil naša polja.‹
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the measuring line upon a lot, in the congregation of Jehovah.
Zato ne boš imel nobenega, ki bi z žrebom vrgel vrvico v Gospodovi skupnosti.
6 Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to these, the ignominy will not depart.
»Ne prerokujte, « pravijo tistim, ki prerokujejo. Naj jim ne prerokujejo, da oni ne bi odvrnili sramote.
7 O thou [that art] named the house of Jacob, Is Jehovah impatient? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
Oh ti, ki si poimenovan Jakobova hiša, mar je Gospodov duh omejen? Mar so to njegova dejanja? Ali moje besede ne delajo dobro tistemu, ki hodi pošteno?
8 But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip off the mantle with the garment from them that pass by securely, that are averse from war.
Celo od davnine je moje ljudstvo vstalo kakor sovražnik. Ogrinjalo z oblačilom vlečete s tistih, ki varno hodijo mimo, kakor ljudje, ki so nasprotni vojni.
9 The women of my people do ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children do ye take away my magnificence for ever.
Ženske mojega ljudstva ste metali iz njihovih prijetnih hiš; njihovim otrokom ste mojo slavo vzeli na veke.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not the resting-place, because of defilement that bringeth destruction, even a grievous destruction.
Vstanite in odidite, kajti to ni vaš počitek. Ker je ta [dežela] omadeževana, vas bo uničila, celo z bolečim uničenjem.
11 If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie, [saying, ] I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink, he shall be the prophet of this people.
Če človek, ki hodi v duhu in neresnici, laže, rekoč: ›Prerokoval ti bom o vinu in o močni pijači, ‹ bo ta torej prerok temu ljudstvu.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, the whole of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture: they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
Zagotovo te bom vsega združil, oh Jakob, zagotovo bom zbral Izraelov preostanek. Skupaj jih bom postavil kakor ovce iz Bocre, kakor trop v sredi njihove staje. Naredili bodo velik hrup zaradi razloga množice ljudi.
13 One that breaketh through is gone up before them: they have broken forth, and have passed on to the gate, and are gone out by it; and their king passeth on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
Lomilec je prišel gor prednje. Vlomili so in prešli skozi velika vrata in pri njih odšli ven, in njihov kralj bo šel pred njimi in Gospod jim bo na čelu.«
