Micah 7
1 My woe [is] to me, For I have been as gatherings of summer-fruit, As gleanings of harvest, There is no cluster to eat, The first-ripe fruit has my soul desired.
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 kind have perished out of the land, And upright among men—there are none, All of them lie in wait for blood, They each hunt 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 On the evil [are] both hands to do [it] well, The prince is asking—also the judge—for repayment, And the great—he is speaking the mischief of his soul, And 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 Their best one [is] as a brier, The upright one—than a thorn-hedge, The day of your watchmen—Your visitation—has come. Now is 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 Do not believe in a friend, Do not trust in a leader, From her who is lying in your bosom keep the openings of your mouth.
Ne zaupaj prijatelju, ne položi zaupanja v vodiča, varuj vrata svojih ust pred njo, ki leži v tvojem naročju.
6 For a son is dishonoring a father, A daughter has stood against her mother, A daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, The enemies of each [are] the men of his 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 And I—in YHWH I watch, I wait for the God of my salvation, My God hears me.
Zatorej bom gledal h Gospodu, čakal bom na Boga rešitve moje duše. Moj Bog me bo slišal.
8 You do not rejoice over me, O my enemy, When I have fallen, I have risen, When I sit in darkness YHWH is 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 bear the indignation of YHWH, For I have sinned against Him, Until He pleads my cause, And has executed my judgment, He brings me forth to the light, I look on 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 And my enemy sees, And shame covers her, Who says to me, “Where [is] your God YHWH?” My eyes look on her, Now she is for a treading-place, As mire of the out-places.
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 The day to build your walls! That day—removed is the limit.
Na dan, ko naj bi bili zgrajeni tvoji zidovi, na tisti dan bo odlok odstranjen daleč.
12 That day—even to you it comes in, From Asshur and the cities of the fortress, And from the fortress even to the river, And from sea to sea, and 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 And the land has been for a desolation, Because of its inhabitants, Because of the fruit of their doings.
Vendar bo dežela zapuščena zaradi tistih, ki prebivajo v njej, zaradi sadov njihovih početij.
14 Rule Your people with Your rod, The flock of Your inheritance, Dwelling alone [in] a forest in the midst of Carmel, They enjoy Bashan and Gilead as in 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 forth out of the land of Egypt, I show it wonderful things.”
Kakor v dneh tvojega prihoda iz egiptovske dežele mu bom pokazal čudovite stvari.
16 Nations see, and they are ashamed of all their might, They lay a hand on the mouth, their ears are deaf.
Narodi bodo videli in bodo zbegani ob vsej njihovi moči. Svojo roko bodo položili na svoja usta, njihova ušesa bodo gluha.
17 They lick dust as a serpent, as fearful things of earth, They tremble from their enclosures, They are afraid of our God YHWH, Indeed, they are afraid 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 You? Taking away iniquity, And passing by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance, He has not retained His anger forever, Because He delights [in] kindness.
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 turns back, He pities us, He subdues our iniquities, And You 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 give truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, That You have sworn to our fathers, from the days of antiquity!
Jakobu boš izvršil resnico in Abrahamu usmiljenje, ki si ga od dni davnine prisegel našim očetom.
