Michas 3
1 Un es sacīju: “Klausāties jel, Jēkaba virsnieki un Israēla nama valdnieki: Vai jums nepiekrīt tiesu zināt?
And he shall say, Hear now these words, you heads of the house of Jacob, and you remnant of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Jūs ienīstat labu un mīļojat ļaunu, jūs tiem noplēšat ādu un gaļu no viņu kauliem.
[who] hate good, and seek evil; [who] tear their skins off them, and their flesh off their bones:
3 Tiešām tie ir, kas ēd Manu ļaužu gaļu un tiem nodīrā ādu un satriec viņu kaulus un pa gabaliem saliek tā kā podā un kā gaļu katlā.”
even as they devoured the flesh of my people, and stripped their skins off them, and broke their bones, and divided [them] as flesh for the caldron, and as meat for the pot,
4 Tad tie brēks uz To Kungu, bet Viņš tos nepaklausīs, Viņš tanī laikā Savu vaigu no viņiem apslēps, tā kā viņu darbi bijuši ļauni.
thus they shall cry to the Lord, but he shall not listen to them; and he shall turn away his face from them at that time, because they have done wickedly in their practices against themselves.
5 Tā saka Tas Kungs pret tiem praviešiem, kas Manus ļaudis maldina, kas izsauc mieru, kad viņu zobiem ir ko kost; bet kas viņiem nekā nedod mutē, pret to viņi sludina karu:
Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets that lead my people astray, that bit with their teeth, and proclaim peace to them; and [when] nothing was put into their mouth, they raised up war against them:
6 “Nakts pār jums metīsies parādīšanu vietā, un tumsa būs pār jums zīlēšanas vietā, un saule noies pār šiem praviešiem, un diena taps melna pār viņiem.
therefore there shall be night to you instead of a vision, and there shall be to you darkness instead of prophecy; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be dark upon them.
7 Un pareģi taps kaunā, un zīlnieki nosarks, un tiem visiem būs aptīt savu muti, jo Dieva atbildes nebūs.”
And the seers of night-visions shall be ashamed, and the prophets shall be laughed to scorn: and all the people shall speak against them, because there shall be none to listen to them.
8 Bet es esmu pilns spēka no Tā Kunga Gara un pilns tiesas un sirds drošības, pasludināt Jēkabam viņa pārkāpumu un Israēlim viņa grēkus.
Surely I will strengthen myself with the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of power, to declare to Jacob his transgressions, and to Israel his sins.
9 Klausiet jel šo, Jēkaba nama virsnieki un Israēla nama valdnieki, kam taisnība ir riebīga un kas pārgrozāt visu patiesību,
Hear now these words, you chiefs of the house of Jacob, and the remnant of the house of Israel, who hate judgment, and pervert all righteousness;
10 Un uztaisāt Ciānu ar asinīm un Jeruzālemi ar netaisnību.
who build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 Viņas virsnieki tiesā par dāvanām, un viņas priesteri māca par algu, un viņas pravieši zīlē par naudu, tomēr tie paļaujas uz To Kungu un saka: “Vai Tas Kungs nav mūsu vidū? Mums ļaunums neuzies.”
The heads thereof have judged for gifts, and the priests thereof have answered for hire, and her prophets have divined for silver: and [yet] they have rested on the Lord, saying, Is not the Lord among us? no evil shall come upon us.
12 Tāpēc jūsu dēļ Ciāna taps arta kā tīrums, un Jeruzāleme paliks par akmeņu kopu un šī nama kalns par meža kalnu.
Therefore on your account Sion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a storehouse of fruits, and the mountain of the house as a grove of the forest.
