Micah 3
1 I said, "Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn't it for you to know justice?
Rekel sem: »Poslušajte, prosim vas, oh Jakobovi poglavarji in vi princi Izraelove hiše: › Mar ni to za vas, da poznate sodbo?‹
2 You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, and their flesh from off their bones;
Ki sovražite dobro in ljubite zlo, ki njihovo kožo trgate iz njih in njihovo meso iz njihovih kosti,
3 who also 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 caldron.
ki tudi jeste meso mojega ljudstva in odirate njihovo kožo iz njih; in lomijo njihove kosti in jih sekajo na koščke, kakor za lonec in kakor meso znotraj kotla.
4 Then they will cry to Jehovah, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil."
Potem bodo klicali h Gospodu, toda ne bo jih slišal. Ob tistem času bo celo svoj obraz skril pred njimi, kakor so se oni slabo obnašali v svojih ravnanjih.
5 Thus says Jehovah concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, "Peace." and whoever doesn't provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:
Tako govori Gospod glede prerokov, ki mojemu ljudstvu povzročajo, da se moti, ki grizejo s svojimi zobmi in kličejo: ›Mir; ‹ in kdor ne daje v njihova usta, pripravljajo celo vojno zoper njega.
6 "Therefore night is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
Zato bo nad vami noč, da ne boste imeli videnja; in ta vam bo temna, da ne boste vedeževali; in sonce bo zašlo nad preroki in dan bo otemnel nad njimi.
7 The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer from God."
Takrat bodo vidci osramočeni in vedeževalci zbegani. Da, vsi bodo pokrivali svoje ustnice, kajti tam ni odgovora od Boga.
8 But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.
Toda resnično, jaz sem po Gospodovem duhu poln oblasti, sodbe in moči, da Jakobu razglasim njegov prestopek in Izraelu njegov greh.
9 Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity.
Poslušajte to, prosim vas, vi poglavarji Jakobove hiše in princi Izraelove hiše, ki se vam gnusi sodba in izkrivljate vso pravico.
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Sion gradijo s krvjo in Jeruzalem s krivičnostjo.
11 Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money: yet they lean on Jehovah, and say, "Isn't Jehovah in the midst of us? No disaster will come on us."
Njihovi poglavarji sodijo zaradi nagrade in njihovi duhovniki učijo zaradi plačila in preroki vedežujejo zaradi denarja. Vendar ali se bodo naslonili na Gospoda in rekli: › Mar ni Gospod med nami? Nobeno zlo ne more priti nad nas.‹
12 Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.
Zato bo zaradi vas Sion preoran kakor polje in Jeruzalem bo spremenjen v razvaline in gore [te] hiše kakor visoki kraji gozda.«
