< 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.
Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
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 covet fields, and take [them] by violence; and houses, and take [them] away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
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, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this 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 [one] take up a parable against you, and lament with a grievous lamentation, [and] say, We are utterly wasted: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed [it] from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
5 Tāpēc tev nebūs neviena, kas tev zemi mēros un dalīs Tā Kunga draudzē.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
6 „Nesludinājiet!” Tā tie sludina. Ja tiem nesludinās, tad negods nezudīs.
Prophesy ye not, [say they to them that] prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, [that] they shall not take shame.
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?
O [thou that art] named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 Bet nesen Mani ļaudis cēlās kā ienaidnieki; jūs laupāt no apģērba mēteli tiem, kas mierīgi iet garām un nemeklē kara.
Even of late my people hath risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse to war.
9 Jūs izdzenāt Manu ļaužu sievas no viņu skaistiem namiem, jūs atņemat viņu bērniņiem Manu glītumu mūžam.
The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10 Ceļaties un ejat projām, jo šī zeme jums nebūs par dusu tās nešķīstības dēļ, kas pavisam maitāt samaitā.
Arise ye, and depart; for this [is] not [your] rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy [you], even with a grievous destruction.
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 man walking in the spirit and falsehood doth lie, [saying], I will prophesy to thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet 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.
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
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 breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and have gone out by it; and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
