< Michas 3 >

1 Un es sacīju: “Klausāties jel, Jēkaba virsnieki un Israēla nama valdnieki: Vai jums nepiekrīt tiesu zināt?
Then I said, “You Israeli [MTY] leaders, listen [to what I say]! You should certainly [RHQ] know what things are right [to do] [and what things are wrong],
2 Jūs ienīstat labu un mīļojat ļaunu, jūs tiem noplēšat ādu un gaļu no viņu kauliem.
but you hate what is good and you love what is evil. [You act like butchers]: [it is as though] you strip the skin off my people and [tear] the flesh from 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.”
[It is as though] you chop them into pieces like [SIM] meat [to be cooked] in a 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.
Then, [when you have troubles], you plead to Yahweh [to help you], but he will not answer you. At that time, he will turn away from you because of the evil things that you have done.”
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:
This is what Yahweh says about your [false] prophets who are deceiving the people: “If someone gives them food, those prophets say that things will go well for him. But they declare war against anyone who does not give them food.
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.
So [now it is as though] [MET] night will descend on you prophets; you will not receive any [more] visions. [It is as though] [MET] the sun will set for you; the time [when you are greatly honored] will end.
7 Un pareģi taps kaunā, un zīlnieki nosarks, un tiem visiem būs aptīt savu muti, jo Dieva atbildes nebūs.”
[Then] you (seers/people who predict what will happen in the future) [DOU] will be disgraced; you will cover your faces [because you will be ashamed], because when you ask me [what will happen], there will be no answer from me.”
8 Bet es esmu pilns spēka no Tā Kunga Gara un pilns tiesas un sirds drošības, pasludināt Jēkabam viņa pārkāpumu un Israēlim viņa grēkus.
But as for me, I am full of [God’s] power, [power] from the Spirit of Yahweh. I am courageous and strong to declare to the Israeli people [MTY, DOU] that they have sinned and rebelled [against Yahweh].
9 Klausiet jel šo, Jēkaba nama virsnieki un Israēla nama valdnieki, kam taisnība ir riebīga un kas pārgrozāt visu patiesību,
You leaders of the people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this! You hate [it when people do] what is just; and [when people say] what is true, you distort it, [saying it is false].
10 Un uztaisāt Ciānu ar asinīm un Jeruzālemi ar netaisnību.
[It is as though] you are building [houses in] Jerusalem on foundations that consist of murdering people and doing what is corrupt.
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.”
Your leaders make [favorable] decisions [only if they receive] bribes. Your priests teach people only if [those people] pay them [well]. Your [false] prophets require people to pay them to tell people what will happen [to them] in the future. Those prophets say, “Yahweh is telling us [what we should say], and [we say that] we will not experience any disasters.”
12 Tāpēc jūsu dēļ Ciāna taps arta kā tīrums, un Jeruzāleme paliks par akmeņu kopu un šī nama kalns par meža kalnu.
Because of what you [leaders do], Zion [Hill] will be plowed like a field; it will become a heap of ruins/rubble; the top of the hill, where the temple is [now], will be covered with bushes.
