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.
How disastrous it will be for those who devise evil plans as they lie awake at night. They get up in the morning to carry them out, because they have the power to do just that.
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.
They seize any fields they want. They take any houses they want. They cheat people of their houses, and steal their 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.
So this is what the Lord says. Watch out! I am planning to bring disaster on such families. They won't be able to escape. You will no longer walk around arrogantly, for this will be a time of disaster.
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.“
On that day they will make up a saying to taunt you. With a mocking lament they will say, “We are totally ruined! Our possessions are being sold off. They've taken everything away, and given our fields to your conquerors.”
5 Tāpēc tev nebūs neviena, kas tev zemi mēros un dalīs Tā Kunga draudzē.
Consequently at that time there will be none of you in the assembly of the Lord responsible for the division of the land.
6 „Nesludinājiet!” Tā tie sludina. Ja tiem nesludinās, tad negods nezudīs.
But you preach at me, saying, “Don't preach such things. Don't prophesy like this. Such a humiliation won't happen to us!”
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?
Should you talk like that, descendants of Jacob? You ask, “Can the Lord run out of patience? Is this what he does?” Are not my words good to those who do what is right? asks the Lord.
8 Bet nesen Mani ļaudis cēlās kā ienaidnieki; jūs laupāt no apģērba mēteli tiem, kas mierīgi iet garām un nemeklē kara.
Lately my people have risen up against me like an enemy. You steal the coats off the backs of those passing by, men returning from war who expect to be safe in their homeland.
9 Jūs izdzenāt Manu ļaužu sievas no viņu skaistiem namiem, jūs atņemat viņu bērniņiem Manu glītumu mūžam.
You drive the women of my people from their comfortable homes; you have robbed their children of my blessings forever.
10 Ceļaties un ejat projām, jo šī zeme jums nebūs par dusu tās nešķīstības dēļ, kas pavisam maitāt samaitā.
Get up! Leave! For this is not a place for you to stay. It is defiled and totally ruined.
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.
If a false prophet should come to you and lie, saying, “I'll preach to you about the virtues of wine and alcohol,” he would be the perfect prophet for your kind of 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.
I will certainly gather all of you, descendants of Jacob, I will certainly bring back together those who are left, Israel. I will place them like sheep in the fold, like a flock in its pasture. The land will be filled with people celebrating.
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.
The One who opens the way for them will lead them, breaking through the gate and going out. Their King will lead them; the Lord himself will be at their head.
