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.
Teško meni! jer sam kao kad se obere ljetina, kao kad se pabirèi poslije branja vinogradskoga; nema grozda za jelo, ranoga voæa želi duša moja.
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.
Nesta pobožnoga sa zemlje i nema pravoga meðu ljudima, svi vrebaju krv, svaki lovi brata svojega mrežom.
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].
Da èine zlo objema rukama što više mogu, ište knez; i sudija sudi za platu, i ko je velik govori opaèinu duše svoje, i spleæu je.
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].
Najbolji je izmeðu njih kao trn, najpraviji je gori od trnjaka; dan stražara tvojih, pohoðenje tvoje, doðe, sada æe se smesti.
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 vjerujte prijatelju, ne oslanjajte se na voða; od one koja ti na krilu leži, èuvaj vrata usta svojih.
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.
Jer sin grdi oca, kæi ustaje na mater svoju, snaha na svekrvu svoju, neprijatelji su èovjeku domašnji njegovi.
7 As for me, I wait for Yahweh [to help me]. I confidently expect that God, my Savior, will answer me [when I pray].
Ali ja æu Gospoda pogledati, èekaæu Boga spasenja svojega; uslišiæe me Bog moj.
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.
Nemoj mi se radovati, neprijateljice moja; ako padoh, ustaæu; ako sjedim u mraku, Gospod æe mi biti vidjelo.
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.
Podnosiæu gnjev Gospodnji, jer mu zgriješih, dok ne raspravi parbu moju i da mi pravicu; izvešæe me na vidjelo, vidjeæu pravdu njegovu.
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.
Neprijateljica æe moja vidjeti, i sram æe je pokriti, koja mi govori: gdje je Gospod Bog tvoj? oèi æe je moje vidjeti; sada æe se ona pogaziti kao blato na ulicama.
11 [You people of Israel, ] at that time your cities will be rebuilt, and your territory will become larger.
U koje se vrijeme sazidaju zidovi tvoji, u to æe vrijeme otiæi zapovijest nadaleko;
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.
U to æe vrijeme dolaziti k tebi od Asirske do tvrdijeh gradova, i od tvrdijeh gradova do rijeke, i od mora do mora, i od gore do gore.
13 But [the other countries on] the earth will become desolate because of the [evil] things that their people have done.
A zemlja æe biti pusta sa stanovnika svojih, za plod djela njihovijeh.
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.
Pasi narod svoj s palicom svojom, stado našljedstva svojega, koje živi osamljeno u šumi, usred Karmila; neka pasu po Vasanu i po Galadu, kao u staro vrijeme.
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.”
Kao u vrijeme kad si izašao iz zemlje Misirske pokazaæu mu èudesa.
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].
Narodi æe vidjeti, i postidjeæe se od sve sile svoje; metnuæe ruku na usta, uši æe im zagluhnuti.
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.
Lizaæe prah kao zmija; kao bubine zemaljske drkæuæi ižlješæe iz rupa svojih; pritrèaæe uplašeni ka Gospodu Bogu našemu, i tebe æe se bojati.
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].
Ko je Bog kao ti? koji prašta bezakonje i prolazi prijestupe ostatku od našljedstva svojega, ne drži dovijeka gnjeva svojega, jer mu je mila milost.
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.
Opet æe se smilovati na nas; pogaziæe naša bezakonja; baciæeš u dubine morske sve grijehe njihove.
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.
Pokazaæeš istinu Jakovu, milost Avramu, kako si se zakleo ocima našim u staro vrijeme.
