< Micah 3 >

1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel: Is it not for you to know judgment?
Zato rekoh: èujte, poglavice Jakovljeve i knezovi doma Izrailjeva, ne treba li vam znati šta je pravo?
2 Ye who hate the good, and love evil; who pluck off their skin from them, and their flesh from off their bones;
Koji mrzite na dobro a ljubite zlo, sadirete kožu s njih i meso s kosti njihovijeh;
3 and who eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces as for the pot, and as flesh within the cauldron.
I jedete meso naroda mojega i sadirete kožu s njih i kosti im prebijate, i sasijecate kao u lonac i kao meso u kotao.
4 Then shall they cry unto Jehovah, but he will not answer them; and he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.
Tada æe vikati ka Gospodu, ali ih neæe uslišiti, nego æe sakriti lice svoje od njih u ono vrijeme, kako oni zlo radiše.
5 Thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that cause my people to err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace! but whoso putteth not into their mouths they prepare war against him:
Ovako veli Gospod za proroke koji zavode moj narod, koji grizu zubima svojim i vièu: mir; i ako im ko ne da ništa u usta, dižu rat na nj.
6 therefore ye shall have night without a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, without divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.
Zato æe vam utvara biti noæ i proricanje vaše tama; i sunce æe zaæi tijem prorocima i dan æe im se smraèiti.
7 And the seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners confounded; and they shall all cover their lips, for there will be no answer of God.
Tada æe se postidjeti vidioci, i vraèari æe se posramiti, i svi æe zastrijeti usne svoje, jer neæe biti odgovora Božijega.
8 But truly I am filled with power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and with judgment and with might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Ali ja sam pun sile od duha Gospodnjega, i suda i hrabrosti da kažem Jakovu zloèinstvo njegovo i Izrailju grijeh njegov.
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity,
Èujte ovo, poglavice doma Jakovljeva i knezovi doma Izrailjeva, koji se gadite na pravdu, i sve što je pravo izvræete;
10 that build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with unrighteousness.
Koji gradite Sion krvlju i Jerusalim bezakonjem.
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money; yet do they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
Poglavari njegovi sude po mitu, i sveštenici njegovi uèe za platu, i proroci njegovi gataju za novce, a na Gospoda se oslanjaju govoreæi: nije li Gospod usred nas? neæe doæi zlo na nas.
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be ploughed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
Zato æe se s vas Sion preorati kao njiva, i Jerusalim æe postati gomila, i gora od doma visoka šuma.
