Micah 7
1 Woe is me, for I am as the sommer gatherings, and as the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eate: my soule desired the first ripe fruites.
Teško meni! Postao sam kao žetelac ljeti, kao trgač poslije jematve: nema bobice grožđa da je pozobljem, nema smokve ranke za kojom žudim!
2 The good man is perished out of the earth, and there is none righteous among men: they all lye in wayte for blood: euery man hunteth his brother with a net.
Vjernici su iščezli iz zemlje: nijednog pravednika među ljudima! Svi vrebaju za krvoprolićem, svaki svome bratu mrežu postavlja.
3 To make good for the euil of their hands, the prince asked, and the iudge iudgeth for a reward: therefore the great man he speaketh out the corruption of his soule: so they wrapt it vp.
Njihove ruke za zlo su sposobne: glavar traži dar, sudac sudi prema poklonu, velikaš po svome hiru odlučuje.
4 The best of them is as a brier, and the most righteous of them is sharper then a thorne hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation commeth: then shalbe their confusion.
I najbolji među njima je kao trn, najpravedniji kao drača živica. Iskušenje njihovo danas sa Sjevera dolazi, dolazi ura strave njihove.
5 Trust ye not in a friend, neither put ye confidence in a counseller: keepe the doores of thy mouth from her that lyeth in thy bosome.
Ne pouzdavajte se u bližnjega, ne vjerujte u prijatelja; pred onom koja s tobom dijeli postelju pazi da usta ne otvoriš.
6 For the sonne reuileth the father: ye daughter riseth vp against her mother: the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe, and a mans enemies are the men of his owne house.
Jer sin svoga oca zlostavlja, kćerka na majku ustaje, snaha na svoju svekrvu, svakome je dušmanin njegov ukućanin.
7 Therefore I will looke vnto the Lord: I will waite for God my Sauiour: my God will heare me.
A ja, prema Jahvi ja sam zagledan, čekam na Boga koji spasava, Bog moj mene će uslišati.
8 Reioyce not against me, O mine enemie: though I fall, I shall arise: when I shall sit in darkenesse, the Lord shalbe a light vnto me.
Ne raduj se mome zlu, dušmanko moja, ako sam pao, ustat ću; ako boravim u tminama, Jahve je svjetlost moja.
9 I will beare the wrath of the Lord because I haue sinned against him, vntill he pleade my cause, and execute iudgement for me: then will he bring me foorth to the light, and I shall see his righteousnesse.
Moram podnositi srdžbu Jahvinu, jer sam protiv njega sagriješio, sve dok on ne prosudi spor moj i izrekne pravdu; izvest će me na svjetlost, gledat ću pravednost njegovu.
10 Then she that is mine enemie, shall looke vpon it, and shame shall couer her, which said vnto me, Where is the Lord thy God? Mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be troden downe as the myre of the streetes.
Kada ga moja dušmanka ugleda, od stida će se pokriti ona koja mi je govorila: “Gdje je on, Jahve, tvoj Bog?” Moje će se oči naslađivati kad je ugledam: ona će biti zgažena kao blato na putu.
11 This is ye day, that thy walles shalbe built: this day shall driue farre away the decree.
Dolazi dan kad će se sazidati tvoji bedemi! Toga dana nadaleko će se prostirati tvoje granice!
12 In this day also they shall come vnto thee from Asshur, and from the strong cities, and from the strong holdes euen vnto the riuer, and from Sea to Sea, and from mountaine to mountaine.
Toga dana dolazit će k tebi od zemlje asirske do Egipta, od Tira do Rijeke, od mora do mora, od gore do gore.
13 Notwithstanding, the lande shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, and for the fruites of their inuentions.
Zemlja će postat' pustinja zbog stanovnika svojih, zbog djela njihovih.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flocke of thine heritage (which dwell solitarie in the wood) as in the middes of Carmel: let them feede in Bashan and Gilead, as in olde time.
Pasi svoj narod svojom palicom, stado svoje baštine, koje osamljeno živi u šikarju, usred plodnih voćnjaka. Neka pase u Bašanu i Gileadu, kao u davne dane!
15 According to the dayes of thy comming out of the lande of Egypt, will I shewe vnto him marueilous things.
Kao u dane kad si izašao iz Egipta, pokaži nam čudesa!
16 The nations shall see, and be confounded for all their power: they shall lay their hande vpon their mouth: their eares shall be deafe.
Narodi će ih vidjeti i bit će posramljeni uza svu silu svoju; stavit će ruku na usta i uši će im oglušiti.
17 They shall licke the dust like a serpent: they shall mooue out of their holes like wormes: they shalbe afraide of the Lord our God, and shall feare because of thee.
Lizat će prašinu kao zmija, kao gmazovi koji gmižu po zemlji. Izići će dršćući iz svojih jazbina, prestravljeni i ustrašeni pred tobom.
18 Who is a God like vnto thee, that taketh away iniquitie, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage! He reteineth not his wrath for euer, because mercie pleaseth him.
Tko je Bog kao ti koji prašta krivnju, koji grijeh oprašta i prelazi preko prekršaja Ostatka baštine svoje, koji ne ustraje dovijeka u svome gnjevu, nego uživa u pomilovanju?
19 He will turne againe, and haue compassion vpon vs: he will subdue our iniquities, and cast all their sinnes into the bottome of the sea.
Još jednom, imaj milosti za nas! Satri naše opačine, baci na dno mora sve grijehe naše!
20 Thou wilt perfourme thy trueth to Iaakob, and mercie to Abraham, as thou hast sworne vnto our fathers in olde time.
Udijeli Jakovu vjernost svoju, dobrotu svoju Abrahamu, kako si se zakleo ocima našim od dana iskonskih.
