Micah 7
1 I am very miserable/frustrated! I am like [SIM] someone who is hungry, [who searches for fruit to pick] after all the fruit had been picked and who finds no grapes or figs to eat.
Jaj nékem, mert olyanná lettem, mint a letakarított mező, mint a megszedett szőlő: egy enni való gerezd sem maradott; pedig zsengére vágyott a lelkem!
2 [All] the godly people have disappeared from this land; there is not one of them left. [The people who are left] are all murderers [MTY]; [it is as though] everyone is eager to kill his fellow countryman.
Elveszett e földről a kegyes, és igaz sincs az emberek között. Mindnyájan vér után ólálkodnak, kiki hálóval vadássza atyjafiát.
3 They [all] use both hands to do what is evil. [Government] officials and judges [all] ask for bribes. Important people tell others what they want, and they plot/scheme together [about how to get it done].
Gonoszságra készek a kezek, hogy jól vigyék véghez; a fejedelem követelőzik, és a biró fizetésre vár; a főember is maga mondja el lelke kívánságát, és összeszövik azt.
4 [Even] the best people are [as worthless] [SIM] as briers; the people [who are considered by others to be] [IRO] the most honest are worse than clumps of thornbushes. But, [Yahweh] will soon judge them; now is the time that he will punish people, a time when they will be [very] confused [because of being defeated].
A ki jó közöttök, olyan mint a tüske, az igaz olyan, mint a tövisbokor. A te őrállóidnak napja, a te megítélésed eljött; most következik el az ő zűrzavaruk.
5 [So], do not trust anyone! Do not trust [even] a friend; [even] be careful what you say to your wife whom you love!
Ne higyjetek a barátnak; ne bízzatok a tanácsadóban; az öledben ülő előtt is zárd be szádnak ajtaját.
6 Boys will despise their fathers, and girls will defy their mothers. Women will defy their mothers-in-law. Your enemies will be those who live in your own houses.
Mert a fiú bolondnak tartja atyját, a leány anyja ellen támad, a meny az ő napára; az embernek saját háznépe az ellensége.
7 As for me, I wait for Yahweh [to help me]. I confidently expect that God, my Savior, will answer me [when I pray].
De én az Úrra nézek, várom az én szabadításom Istenét; meghallgat engem az én Istenem!
8 You who are our enemies, do not gloat/rejoice about [what has happened to] us, [because even] if we have experienced disasters, [those disasters will end and] we will be restored. [Even] if [it is as though] we are sitting in the darkness, Yahweh will be our light.
Ne örülj, én ellenségem! Elestem ugyan, de felkelek, mert ha még a setétségben ülnék is, az Úr az én világosságom!
9 We must be patient while Yahweh punishes us because we have sinned against him. But later, [it will be as though] he will go to court and defend us, and he will make sure that the judge makes a right decision about us. [It will be as though] he will bring us out into the light, and we will see it when he rescues us.
Az Úr haragját hordozom, mert vétkeztem ellene; mindaddig, a míg leperli peremet és meghozza ítéletemet. Kivisz engem a világosságra, meglátom az ő igazságát.
10 Our enemies will [also] see that, and they will be disgraced because they [ridiculed us], saying “Why is [RHQ] Yahweh, that God of yours, [not helping you]?” But with our own eyes we will see them when they are defeated; we will see them trampled like [SIM] mud in the streets.
De meglátja ellenségem is és szégyen borítja el, a ki ezt mondja nékem: Hol az Úr, a te Istened? Meglátják őt az én szemeim, hogy ímé széttapostatik, mint az utcza-sár.
11 [You people of Israel, ] at that time your cities will be rebuilt, and your territory will become larger.
Falaid megépítésének napja! e napon távol lesz a törvény!
12 [People from many countries will come to honor you]: people from Assyria and from [near] the [Euphrates] River [in the east] and from Egypt [in the south], from distant seas, and from many mountains.
Azon a napon eljőnek hozzád Assiriából és Égyiptom városaiból; Égyiptomtól a folyamig, tengertől tengerig és hegytől hegyig.
13 But [the other countries on] the earth will become desolate because of the [evil] things that their people have done.
És pusztává lesz a föld az ő lakói miatt, az ő cselekedeteik gyümölcséért.
14 Yahweh, protect your people like [MET] [a shepherd protects his sheep] by using his walking stick; lead your people [MET] whom you have chosen to belong to you. [Even though some of them] live by themselves in a forest, give them the fertile pastureland in the Bashan and Gilead [regions] that they possessed long ago.
Legeltesd népedet a te vessződdel, a te örökségednek nyáját, a mely magánosan lakozik az erdőben, a Kármel közepén. Legeljenek Básánban és Gileádban, mint a hajdankor napjain!
15 [Yahweh says/replies], “[Yes], I will perform miracles for you like the miracles that I performed when I rescued your [ancestors] from [being slaves in] Egypt.”
Mint az Égyiptom földéről kijövetelednek idején, láttatok vele csodadolgokat.
16 [People from many] nations will see [what Yahweh does for you], and they will be ashamed because they do not have any power. They will put their hands over their mouths and their ears [because they will be very amazed because of what Yahweh does], [and they will not be able to say anything or hear anything].
Látják ezt a pogányok és megszégyenülnek minden erejökkel. Kezöket szájokra teszik, füleik megsiketülnek;
17 [Being very humiliated, ] they will crawl on the ground [MTY] like [SIM] snakes. They will come out of their homes trembling, and stand revering Yahweh our God. They will be very afraid of him, and will tremble in front of him.
Nyalják a port, mint a kígyó, mint a föld férgei; reszketve jőnek rejtekeikből; remegve folyamodnak az Úrhoz, a mi Istenünkhöz, és félnek tetőled!
18 [Yahweh], there is no [RHQ] God like you; you forgive the sins [DOU] that were committed by the people who have survived, the people who belong to you. You do not remain angry forever; you are very happy [to show us] that you faithfully love [us].
Kicsoda olyan Isten, mint te, a ki megbocsátja a bűnt és elengedi öröksége maradékának vétkét?! Nem tartja meg haragját örökké, mert gyönyörködik az irgalmasságban!
19 You will again act kindly/compassionately toward us. You will get rid of [the scroll on which you have written] the sins that we have committed [as though you were] trampling it under your feet or throwing it into the deep ocean.
Hozzánk térvén, könyörül rajtunk; eltapodja álnokságainkat. Bizony a tenger mélységébe veted minden bűnünket!
20 You will show that you faithfully [do what you promised for us] and faithfully love us, just like you solemnly promised long ago to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob that you would do.
Hűséget mutatsz a Jákóbnak, irgalmasságot Ábrahámnak, a mint megesküdtél atyáinknak még az ősidőkben.
