Micah 2
1 Terrible things will happen to you who lie awake at night, planning to do wicked things. You get up at dawn, and you do those things, [as soon as] you are able to do them.
Teško onima koji smišljaju bezakonje i o zlu se trude na posteljama svojim, i kad svane izvršuju, jer im je sila u ruci.
2 You want fields [that belong to other people], so you seize them; you also take their houses. You cheat people to get their homes, taking away the property that belongs to their families.
Žele njive, i otimaju ih; žele kuæe, i uzimaju; èine silu èovjeku i kuæi njegovoj, èovjeku i našljedstvu njegovu.
3 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: “I will cause you people to experience disasters, and you will not be able to escape [MTY] from them. You will no [longer] walk around proudly, because when those things happen, it will be a time of much trouble for you.
Zato ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja mislim zlo tome rodu, iz kojega neæete izvuæi vratova svojih, niti æete hoditi ponosito, jer æe biti zlo vrijeme.
4 At that time, [your enemies] will make fun of you; they will ridicule you by singing this sad song about you: ‘We are completely ruined; Yahweh is taking our land/fields from us, and he will give it to those who will capture us.’”
U ono vrijeme govoriæe se prièa o vama, i naricaæe se žalosno govoreæi: propadosmo; promijeni dio naroda mojega; kako mi uze! uzevši njive naše razdijeli.
5 So [when it is the time for the land to be given back to you] people who belong to Yahweh, there will be no one [MTY] who will be able to (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine which land belongs to whom.
Zato neæeš imati nikoga ko bi ti povukao uže za ždrijeb u zboru Gospodnjem.
6 The people [who heard me say that] replied to me, “Do not prophesy such things! Do not say that [Yahweh] is going to humiliate us [by causing us to experience disasters]!”
Nemojte prorokovati, neka oni prorokuju; ako im ne prorokuju, neæe otstupiti sramota.
7 But you people [MTY] of Israel should not [RHQ] talk like that! The Spirit of Yahweh will certainly not [RHQ] be patient [with people who say such things]! People who continually do things that are righteous will certainly [RHQ] like/appreciate what I say.
O ti, koji se zoveš dom Jakovljev, je li se umalio duh Gospodnji? jesu li to djela njegova? eda li moje rijeèi nijesu dobre onome koji hodi pravo?
8 [But Yahweh says], “[Recently] my people have been acting toward me like an enemy. When soldiers return from fighting [against their enemies], you [rich people refuse to return the coats of those poor soldiers who have borrowed money from you] [and given you their coats to guarantee that they will pay back the money that they borrowed from you]. [It is as though] you are waiting to forcefully take their coats off their backs!
A narod se moj prije podiže kao neprijatelj; preko haljine skidate plašt s onijeh koji prolaze ne bojeæi se, koji se vraæaju iz boja.
9 You have forced women to leave their nice homes, and you have stolen from their children forever the (blessings/good things) that I wanted to give them.
Žene naroda mojega izgonite iz milijeh kuæa njihovijeh, od djece njihove otimate slavu moju navijek.
10 [So] get up and leave [here]! This is not a place where you can rest [and be safe/protected], because you have (defiled it/caused it to be a place that I hate); it will be completely destroyed.
Ustanite i idite, jer ovo nije poèivalište; što se oskvrni, pogubiæe vas pogiblju velikom.
11 [You people want] a prophet who will lie to you, saying ‘I will preach [that you should drink] plenty of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks!’ That is the [kind of] prophet who [would please] you.”
Ako ko hodi za vjetrom i kazuje laži govoreæi: prorokovaæu ti za vino i za silovito piæe; taj æe biti prorok ovome narodu.
12 “[But some day], you descendants of Jacob, you Israeli people who have survived, I will bring you back [from (exile/other countries)], I will gather you together like [SIM] [a shepherd gathers his] sheep from the pasture into a pen [DOU]; there will be many of you in your land/country.
Doista æu te sabrati svega, Jakove, doista æu skupiti ostatak Izrailjev; postaviæu ih zajedno kao ovce Vosorske, kao stado usred tora njihova, biæe vreva od ljudstva.
13 Your leader will enable them to leave the countries where they have been exiled; he will lead them out of the gates [of their enemies’ cities], [back to your own country]. Your king will lead them; [it is I], Yahweh, who will be their king!”
Pred njima æe iæi koji razbija; oni æe razbiti i proæi kroz vrata, i izaæi æe; i car æe njihov iæi pred njima, i Gospod æe biti pred njima.
