< Micah 7 >
1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first ripe fruit.
Gorje meni! Kajti sem kakor, ko so zbrali poletne sadove, kakor paberkovanje grozdne trgatve. Tam ni nobenega grozda, da bi ga jedel; moja duša si je želela prvi sad.
2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
Dober človek je izginil z zemlje in nobenega poštenega ni med ljudmi. Vsi v zasedi prežijo na kri, vsak svojega brata z mrežo lovi.
3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asks, and the judge asks for a reward; and the great man, he utters his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
Da lahko počnejo zlo, iskreno, z obema rokama. Princ zahteva in sodnik povprašuje po nagradi. In velik človek, on izreka svojo pogubno željo. Tako to sprevračajo.
4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of your watchmen and your visitation comes; now shall be their perplexity.
Najboljši izmed njih je kakor osat. Najpokončnejši je ostrejši, kakor trnova ograja. Dan tvojih stražarjev in tvojega obiskanja prihaja; sedaj bo [to] njihova zmedenost.
5 Trust you not in a friend, put you not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of your mouth from her that lies in your bosom.
Ne zaupaj prijatelju, ne položi zaupanja v vodiča, varuj vrata svojih ust pred njo, ki leži v tvojem naročju.
6 For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
Kajti sin ne spoštuje očeta, hči se vzdiguje zoper svojo mater, snaha zoper svojo taščo. Človeku so sovražniki ljudje iz njegove lastne hiše.
7 Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Zatorej bom gledal h Gospodu, čakal bom na Boga rešitve moje duše. Moj Bog me bo slišal.
8 Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light to me.
Ne razveseljuj se zoper mene, oh moja sovražnica. Ko padem, bom vstal; ko sedim v temi, mi bo Gospod svetloba.
9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
Prenašal bom Gospodovo ogorčenje, ker sem grešil zoper njega, dokler ne brani mojega primera in ne izvrši sodbe zame. Privedel me bo k svetlobi in gledal bom njegovo pravičnost.
10 Then she that is my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said to me, Where is the LORD your God? my eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
Potem bo tista, ki je moja sovražnica, to videla in sramota bo pokrila tisto, ki mi je rekla; ›Kje je Gospod, tvoj Bog?‹ Moje oči jo bodo gledale. Sedaj bo pomendrana kakor ulično blato.
11 In the day that your walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
Na dan, ko naj bi bili zgrajeni tvoji zidovi, na tisti dan bo odlok odstranjen daleč.
12 In that day also he shall come even to you from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Na ta dan bo tudi on prišel k tebi, celo iz Asirije in od utrjenih mest in od trdnjave, celo do reke in od morja do morja in od gore do gore.
13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
Vendar bo dežela zapuščena zaradi tistih, ki prebivajo v njej, zaradi sadov njihovih početij.
14 Feed your people with your rod, the flock of your heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the middle of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Pasi svoje ljudstvo s svojo palico, trop svoje dediščine, ki prebiva osamljeno v goščavi, v sredi Karmela. Naj se pasejo v Bašánu in Gileádu, kakor v dneh davnine.
15 According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt will I show to him marvelous things.
Kakor v dneh tvojega prihoda iz egiptovske dežele mu bom pokazal čudovite stvari.
16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand on their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
Narodi bodo videli in bodo zbegani ob vsej njihovi moči. Svojo roko bodo položili na svoja usta, njihova ušesa bodo gluha.
17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of you.
Prah bodo lizali kakor kača, iz svojih lukenj bodo prilezli kakor črvi zemlje. Bali se bodo Gospoda, našega Boga in bali se bodo zaradi tebe.
18 Who is a God like to you, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retains not his anger for ever, because he delights in mercy.
Kdo je Bog, podoben tebi, ki oprošča krivičnost in gre mimo prestopka, preostanka svoje dediščine? Svoje jeze ne ohranja na veke, ker se razveseljuje v usmiljenju.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion on us; he will subdue our iniquities; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Ponovno se bo obrnil, nad nami bo imel sočutje, podjarmil bo naše krivičnosti in vse njihove grehe boš vrgel v globine morja.
20 You will perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
Jakobu boš izvršil resnico in Abrahamu usmiljenje, ki si ga od dni davnine prisegel našim očetom.
