Micah 7
1 My woe [is] to me, for I have been As gatherings of summer-fruit, As gleanings of harvest, There is no cluster to eat, The first-ripe fruit desired hath my soul.
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 Perished hath the kind out of the land, And upright among men — there are none, All of them for blood lie in wait, Each his brother they hunt [with] a net.
Nesta pobožnoga sa zemlje i nema pravoga meðu ljudima, svi vrebaju krv, svaki lovi brata svojega mrežom.
3 On the evil [are] both hands to do [it] well, The prince is asking — also the judge — for recompence, And the great — he is speaking the mischief of his soul, And they wrap it up.
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 Their best one [is] as a brier, The upright one — than a thorn-hedge, The day of thy watchmen — Thy visitation — hath come. Now is their perplexity.
Najbolji je izmeðu njih kao trn, najpraviji je gori od trnjaka; dan stražara tvojih, pohoðenje tvoje, doðe, sada æe se smesti.
5 Believe not in a friend, trust not in a leader, From her who is lying in thy bosom keep the openings of thy mouth.
Ne vjerujte prijatelju, ne oslanjajte se na voða; od one koja ti na krilu leži, èuvaj vrata usta svojih.
6 For a son is dishonouring a father, A daughter hath stood against her mother, A daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, The enemies of each [are] the men of his house.
Jer sin grdi oca, kæi ustaje na mater svoju, snaha na svekrvu svoju, neprijatelji su èovjeku domašnji njegovi.
7 And I — in Jehovah I do watch, I do wait for the God of my salvation, Hear me doth my God.
Ali ja æu Gospoda pogledati, èekaæu Boga spasenja svojega; uslišiæe me Bog moj.
8 Thou dost not rejoice over me, O mine enemy, When I have fallen, I have risen, When I sit in darkness Jehovah is a light to me.
Nemoj mi se radovati, neprijateljice moja; ako padoh, ustaæu; ako sjedim u mraku, Gospod æe mi biti vidjelo.
9 The indignation of Jehovah I do bear, For I have sinned against Him, Till that He doth plead my cause, And hath executed my judgment, He doth bring me forth to the light, I look on His righteousness.
Podnosiæu gnjev Gospodnji, jer mu zgriješih, dok ne raspravi parbu moju i da mi pravicu; izvešæe me na vidjelo, vidjeæu pravdu njegovu.
10 And see doth mine enemy, And cover her doth shame, Who saith unto me, 'Where [is] Jehovah thy God?' Mine eyes do look on her, Now she is for a treading-place, As mire of the out-places.
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 The day to build thy walls! That day — removed is the limit.
U koje se vrijeme sazidaju zidovi tvoji, u to æe vrijeme otiæi zapovijest nadaleko;
12 That day — even unto thee it doth come in, From Asshur and the cities of the fortress, And from the fortress even unto the river, And from sea to sea, and mount to mount.
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 And the land hath been for a desolation, Because of its inhabitants, Because of the fruit of their doings.
A zemlja æe biti pusta sa stanovnika svojih, za plod djela njihovijeh.
14 Rule Thou Thy people with Thy rod, The flock of Thine inheritance, Dwelling alone [in] a forest in the midst of Carmel, They enjoy Bashan and Gilead as in days of old.
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 According to the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, I do shew it wonderful things.
Kao u vrijeme kad si izašao iz zemlje Misirske pokazaæu mu èudesa.
16 See do nations, and they are ashamed of all their might, They lay a hand on the mouth, their ears are deaf.
Narodi æe vidjeti, i postidjeæe se od sve sile svoje; metnuæe ruku na usta, uši æe im zagluhnuti.
17 They lick dust as a serpent, as fearful things of earth, They tremble from their enclosures, Of Jehovah our God they are afraid, Yea, they are afraid of Thee.
Lizaæe prah kao zmija; kao bubine zemaljske drkæuæi ižlješæe iz rupa svojih; pritrèaæe uplašeni ka Gospodu Bogu našemu, i tebe æe se bojati.
18 Who [is] a God like Thee? taking away iniquity, And passing by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance, He hath not retained for ever His anger, Because He — He delighteth [in] kindness.
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 He doth turn back, He pitieth us, He doth subdue our iniquities, And Thou castest into the depths of the sea all their sins.
Opet æe se smilovati na nas; pogaziæe naša bezakonja; baciæeš u dubine morske sve grijehe njihove.
20 Thou givest truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, That thou hast sworn to our fathers, from the days of antiquity!
Pokazaæeš istinu Jakovu, milost Avramu, kako si se zakleo ocima našim u staro vrijeme.
