< 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.
»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 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.
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, 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 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 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.’”
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 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 ne boš imel nobenega, ki bi z žrebom vrgel vrvico v Gospodovi skupnosti.
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]!”
»Ne prerokujte, « pravijo tistim, ki prerokujejo. Naj jim ne prerokujejo, da oni ne bi odvrnili sramote.
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.
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 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!
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 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.
Ženske mojega ljudstva ste metali iz njihovih prijetnih hiš; njihovim otrokom ste mojo slavo vzeli na veke.
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.
Vstanite in odidite, kajti to ni vaš počitek. Ker je ta [dežela] omadeževana, vas bo uničila, celo z bolečim uničenjem.
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.”
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 “[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.
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 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!”
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.«
