< Micah 2 >

1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds. When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
»Gorje tistim, ki snujejo krivičnost in na svojih posteljah počnejo zlo! Ko je jutro svetlo, to izvajajo, ker je to v moči njihove roke.
2 They covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Poželijo si polja in jih zavzamejo z nasiljem, hiše in si jih vzamejo. Tako zatirajo moža, njegovo hišo in njegovo dediščino, celo moža in njegovo dediščino.«
3 Therefore thus says the LORD: "Look, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
Zato tako govori Gospod: »Glej, zoper to družino snujem zlo, od katerega svojih vratov ne boste odstranili niti ne boste hodili ošabno, kajti ta čas je hud.
4 In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, 'We are utterly ruined. My people's possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors.'"
Na tisti dan bo nekdo vzel prispodobo zoper vas in žaloval z otožnim žalovanjem in rekel: ›Popolnoma bomo oplenjeni. Spremenil je delež mojega ljudstva. Kako je to odstranjeno od mene! Obračajoč se stran je razdelil naša polja.‹
5 Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the assembly of the LORD.
Zato ne boš imel nobenega, ki bi z žrebom vrgel vrvico v Gospodovi skupnosti.
6 "Do not prophesy." They prophesy. "Do not prophesy about these things. Disgrace won't overtake us."
»Ne prerokujte, « pravijo tistim, ki prerokujejo. Naj jim ne prerokujejo, da oni ne bi odvrnili sramote.
7 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of the LORD angry? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?"
Oh ti, ki si poimenovan Jakobova hiša, mar je Gospodov duh omejen? Mar so to njegova dejanja? Ali moje besede ne delajo dobro tistemu, ki hodi pošteno?
8 But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
Celo od davnine je moje ljudstvo vstalo kakor sovražnik. Ogrinjalo z oblačilom vlečete s tistih, ki varno hodijo mimo, kakor ljudje, ki so nasprotni vojni.
9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
Ženske mojega ljudstva ste metali iz njihovih prijetnih hiš; njihovim otrokom ste mojo slavo vzeli na veke.
10 Arise, and depart. For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
Vstanite in odidite, kajti to ni vaš počitek. Ker je ta [dežela] omadeževana, vas bo uničila, celo z bolečim uničenjem.
11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: "I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;" he would be the prophet of this people.
Če človek, ki hodi v duhu in neresnici, laže, rekoč: ›Prerokoval ti bom o vinu in o močni pijači, ‹ bo ta torej prerok temu ljudstvu.
12 I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they will swarm with people.
Zagotovo te bom vsega združil, oh Jakob, zagotovo bom zbral Izraelov preostanek. Skupaj jih bom postavil kakor ovce iz Bocre, kakor trop v sredi njihove staje. Naredili bodo velik hrup zaradi razloga množice ljudi.
13 The breaker goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, with the LORD at their head.
Lomilec je prišel gor prednje. Vlomili so in prešli skozi velika vrata in pri njih odšli ven, in njihov kralj bo šel pred njimi in Gospod jim bo na čelu.«
