Micah 3
1 Then I said, “Please listen, leaders of the descendants of Jacob, people of Israel. You are meant to know the difference between right and wrong,
Zato rekoh: èujte, poglavice Jakovljeve i knezovi doma Izrailjeva, ne treba li vam znati šta je pravo?
2 you who hate good and love evil! You tear off their skin, and rip the flesh from their bones.
Koji mrzite na dobro a ljubite zlo, sadirete kožu s njih i meso s kosti njihovijeh;
3 You eat the flesh of my people, you strip off their skin, you break their bones. You chop them up like meat for the saucepan, like flesh for the cooking pot.”
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 they'll cry out to the Lord, but he won't answer them. He will turn away from them at that time because of the evil things they have done.
Tada æe vikati ka Gospodu, ali ih neæe uslišiti, nego æe sakriti lice svoje od njih u ono vrijeme, kako oni zlo radiše.
5 This is what the Lord says about the prophets who deceive my people. To those who feed them they prophesy peace to them, while to those who do not they prophesy war against them.
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 it will be like night for you, with no visions; dark, with no predictions. The sun will set on these prophets; their day will end in darkness.
Zato æe vam utvara biti noæ i proricanje vaše tama; i sunce æe zaæi tijem prorocima i dan æe im se smraèiti.
7 The seers will be disgraced, the fortune-tellers put to shame, and they will cover their faces because none of them receive any answer from God.
Tada æe se postidjeti vidioci, i vraèari æe se posramiti, i svi æe zastrijeti usne svoje, jer neæe biti odgovora Božijega.
8 But as for me, I am filled with power, with the spirit of the Lord. I am filled with justice and strength to make clear to the descendants of Jacob their rebellion, and to the people of Israel their sin.
Ali ja sam pun sile od duha Gospodnjega, i suda i hrabrosti da kažem Jakovu zloèinstvo njegovo i Izrailju grijeh njegov.
9 Listen to me, leaders of the descendants of Jacob and the people of Israel, you who hate justice and distort all that is right.
Èujte ovo, poglavice doma Jakovljeva i knezovi doma Izrailjeva, koji se gadite na pravdu, i sve što je pravo izvræete;
10 You are building Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil.
Koji gradite Sion krvlju i Jerusalim bezakonjem.
11 Your leaders judge for a bribe, and your priests teach for a price, and your prophets only prophesy for pay. Yet they all lean on the Lord saying, “Isn't the Lord here with us? Nothing bad can happen to 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 because of you Zion will become a ploughed field and Jerusalem a heap of rubble, and the Temple mount will be overgrown.
Zato æe se s vas Sion preorati kao njiva, i Jerusalim æe postati gomila, i gora od doma visoka šuma.
