< Micah 3 >
1 And Y seide, Ye princis of Jacob, and duykis of the hous of Israel, here. Whether it be not youre for to knowe doom, whiche haten good,
Potom rekoh: “Čujte sada, glavari kuće Jakovljeve, suci doma Izraelova! Nije li na vama da znate što je pravo? Ali vi mrzite dobro, a ljubite zlo!
2 and louen yuele? Whiche violentli taken awei the skynnes of hem fro aboue hem, and the fleisch of hem fro aboue the bonys of hem.
Vi ljudima derete kožu s tijela i meso s kosti njihovih.
3 Whiche eeten the fleisch of my puple, and hiliden the skyn of hem fro aboue; and broken togidere the boonys of hem, and kittiden togidere as in a cawdroun, and as fleisch in the myddil of a pot.
Oni proždiru tijelo moga naroda i deru mu kožu, lome kosti. Oni ih komadaju kao u loncu, kao meso u punom kotlu!
4 Thanne thei schulen crie to the Lord, and he schal not here hem; and he schal hide hise face fro hem in that tyme, as thei diden wickidli in her fyndingis.
Zato, oni će Jahvu zazivati, a on im neće odgovoriti. Sakrit će, u ono vrijeme, lice od njih zbog zločina koje su počinili.”
5 The Lord God seith these thingis on the profetis that disseyuen my puple, and biten with her teeth, and prechen pees; and if ony man yyueth not in the mouth of hem ony thing, thei halewen batel on hym.
Ovako govori Jahve protiv prorokÄa koji moj narod zavode: “Ako imaju zalogaj u zubima, proglašuju: 'Mir!' Ali protiv onoga koji im ništa ne stavlja u usta naviještaju sveti rat.
6 Therfor niyt schal be to you for visioun, or profesie, and derknessis to you for dyuynacioun; and sunne schal go doun on the profetis, and the dai schal be maad derk on hem.
Zato ćete imati noć mjesto vaših viđenja i tminu mjesto proricanja. Zaći će sunce tim prorocima i dan će za njih pomrčati.
7 And thei schulen be confoundid that seen visiouns, and dyuynours schulen be confoundid, and alle schulen hile her cheris, for it is not the answer of God.
Tada će se posramiti vidovnjaci i zblaniti vračari. Svi će oni pokriti gubice, jer odgovora Božjeg neće biti.
8 Netheles Y am fillid with strengthe of Spirit of the Lord, and in doom and vertu, that Y schewe to Jacob his greet trespas, and to Israel his synne.
Ali ja sam pun snage i duha Jahvina, pun pravde i jakosti da objavim Jakovu opačinu njegovu, Izraelu njegov grijeh.
9 Here these thingis, ye princes of the hous of Jacob, and domesmen of the hous of Israel, whiche wlaten dom, and peruerten alle riyt thingis;
Čujte dakle ovo, glavari kuće Jakovljeve, suci doma Izraelova, vi kojima se pravda gadi te izvrćete sve što je ispravno!
10 whiche bilden Sion in bloodis, and Jerusalem in wickidnesse.
Vi koji gradite Sion u krvi i Jeruzalem u zločinu!
11 Princes therof demyden for yiftis, and prestis therof tauyten for hire, and profetis therof dyuyneden for money; and on the Lord thei restiden, and seiden, Whether the Lord is not in the myddil of us? yuelis schulen not come on vs.
Glavari njegovi sude prema mitu, svećenici njegovi poučavaju radi zarade, proroci njegovi bale za novac. A na Jahvu se oni pozivaju i govore: 'Nije li Jahve u našoj sredini? Neće na nas zlo navaliti.'
12 For this thing bi cause of you, Sion as a feeld schal be erid; and Jerusalem schal be as an heep of stoonys, and the hil of the temple schal be in to hiye thingis of woodis.
Poradi vas i vaše krivnje Sion će biti polje preorano, Jeruzalem ruševina, a Goru Doma prekrit će šuma.”
