< Michas 2 >

1 Ak vai, tiem, kas domā netaisnību un sataisa ļaunumu uz savām cisām; rīta gaismā tie to izdara, jo viņu roka to iespēj.
They meditated troubles, and wrought wickedness on their beds, and they put it in execution with the daylight; for they have not lifted up their hands to God.
2 Un tie iekāro tīrumus un tos laupa, un namus, un tos paņem; tā tie dara varas darbu pie vīra un viņa nama, pie cilvēka un viņa mantas.
And they desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even a man and his inheritance.
3 Tādēļ Tas Kungs tā saka: redzi, Es domāju ļaunumu pret šo cilti, no tā jūs savus kaklus neizvilksiet un nestaigāsiet tik grezni; jo laiks ir ļauns.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I devise evils against this family, out of which ye shall not lift up your necks, neither shall ye walk upright speedily: for the time is evil.
4 Tai dienā cels sakāmu vārdu par jums un gauži žēlosies: „tas noticis“, sacīs: „mēs pavisam postīti! Manu ļaužu tiesa top izmīta; kā Viņš man to atrauj! Atkāpējiem Viņš izdala mūsu tīrumus.“
In that day shall a parable be taken up against you, and a plaintive lamentation shall be uttered, saying, We are thoroughly miserable: the portion of my people has been measured out with a line, and there was none to hinder him so as to turn him back; your fields have been divided.
5 Tāpēc tev nebūs neviena, kas tev zemi mēros un dalīs Tā Kunga draudzē.
Therefore thou shalt have no one to cast a line for the lot.
6 „Nesludinājiet!” Tā tie sludina. Ja tiem nesludinās, tad negods nezudīs.
Weep not with tears in the assembly of the Lord, neither let [any] weep for these things; for he shall not remove the reproaches,
7 Tu, ko sauc par Jēkaba namu, vai tad Tas Kungs nepacietīgs? Vai tādi ir viņa darbi? Vai Mani vārdi nav laipnīgi tam, kas staigā, kā piederās?
who says, The house of Jacob has provoked the Spirit of the Lord; are not these his practices? Are not the Lord's words right with him? and have they not proceeded correctly?
8 Bet nesen Mani ļaudis cēlās kā ienaidnieki; jūs laupāt no apģērba mēteli tiem, kas mierīgi iet garām un nemeklē kara.
Even beforetime my people withstood [him] as an enemy against his peace; they have stripped off his skin to remove hope [in] the conflict of war.
9 Jūs izdzenāt Manu ļaužu sievas no viņu skaistiem namiem, jūs atņemat viņu bērniņiem Manu glītumu mūžam.
The leaders of my people shall be cast forth from their luxurious houses; they are rejected because of their evil practices; draw ye near to the everlasting mountains.
10 Ceļaties un ejat projām, jo šī zeme jums nebūs par dusu tās nešķīstības dēļ, kas pavisam maitāt samaitā.
Arise thou, and depart; for this is not thy rest because of uncleanness: ye have been utterly destroyed;
11 Ja es būtu tāds vīrs, kas pēc vēja un viltības grābstās un melotu, ja es tev sludinātu par vīnu un dzērienu, tad es būtu pravietis priekš šiem ļaudīm.
ye have fled, no one pursuing [you: thy] spirit has framed falsehood, it has dropped on thee for wine and strong drink. But it shall come to pass, [that] out of the dropping of this people,
12 Pulcināt Es tevi sapulcināšu, Jēkab, lasīt Es salasīšu kopā Israēla atlikušos, Es tos kā avis likšu stiprā kūtī, kā ganāmu pulku viņu laidaros, - tur no cilvēkiem rībēs.
Jacob shall be completely gathered with all [his people: ] I will surely receive the remnant of Israel; I will cause them to return together, as sheep in trouble, as a flock in the midst of their fold: they shall rush forth from among men through the breach made before them:
13 Lauzējs staigās viņu priekšā, tie lauzīsies iekšā un ieies pa vārtiem un atkal izies tur ārā, un viņu ķēniņš tiem ies priekšā, un Tas Kungs būs viņu vadonis.
they have broken through, and passed the gate, and gone out by it: and their king has gone out before them, and the Lord shall lead them.
