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.
Горе мне! ибо со мною теперь - как по собрании летних плодов, как по уборке винограда: ни одной ягоды для еды, ни спелого плода, которого желает душа моя.
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.
Не стало милосердых на земле, нет правдивых между людьми; все строят ковы, чтобы проливать кровь; каждый ставит брату своему сеть.
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].
Руки их обращены к тому, чтобы уметь делать зло; начальник требует подарков, и судья судит за взятки, а вельможи высказывают злые хотения души своей и извращают дело.
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].
Лучший из них - как терн, и справедливый - хуже колючей изгороди, день провозвестников Твоих, посещение Твое наступает; ныне постигнет их смятение.
5 [So], do not trust anyone! Do not trust [even] a friend; [even] be careful what you say to your wife whom you love!
Не верьте другу, не полагайтесь на приятеля; от лежащей на лоне твоем стереги двери уст твоих.
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.
Ибо сын позорит отца, дочь восстает против матери, невестка - против свекрови своей; враги человеку - домашние его.
7 As for me, I wait for Yahweh [to help me]. I confidently expect that God, my Savior, will answer me [when I pray].
А я буду взирать на Господа, уповать на Бога спасения моего: Бог мой услышит меня.
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.
Не радуйся ради меня, неприятельница моя! хотя я упал, но встану; хотя я во мраке, но Господь - свет для меня.
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.
Гнев Господень я буду нести, потому что согрешил пред Ним, доколе Он не решит дела моего и не совершит суда надо мною; тогда Он выведет меня на свет, и я увижу правду Его.
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.
И увидит это неприятельница моя, и стыд покроет ее, говорившую мне: “где Господь Бог твой?” Насмотрятся на нее глаза мои, как она будет попираема, подобно грязи на улицах.
11 [You people of Israel, ] at that time your cities will be rebuilt, and your territory will become larger.
В день сооружения стен твоих, в этот день отдалится определение.
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.
В тот день придут к тебе из Ассирии и городов Египетских, и от Египта до реки Евфрата, и от моря до моря, и от горы до горы.
13 But [the other countries on] the earth will become desolate because of the [evil] things that their people have done.
А земля та будет пустынею за вину жителей ее, за плоды деяний их.
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.
Паси народ Твой жезлом Твоим, овец наследия Твоего, обитающих уединенно в лесу среди Кармила; да пасутся они на Васане и Галааде, как во дни древние!
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.”
Как во дни исхода твоего из земли Египетской, явлю ему дивные дела.
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].
Увидят это народы и устыдятся при всем могуществе своем; положат руку на уста, уши их сделаются глухими;
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.
будут лизать прах, как змея; как черви земные, выползут они из укреплений своих; устрашатся Господа Бога нашего и убоятся Тебя.
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].
Кто Бог, как Ты, прощающий беззаконие и не вменяющий преступления остатку наследия Твоего? не вечно гневается Он, потому что любит миловать.
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.
Он опять умилосердится над нами, изгладит беззакония наши. Ты ввергнешь в пучину морскую все грехи наши.
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.
Ты явишь верность Иакову, милость Аврааму, которую с клятвою обещал отцам нашим от дней первых.
