Michas 7
1 Vai man, jo es esmu, kā kad koku augļi sakrāti, kā kad vīna ogas otru reiz nolasītas; neviena ķekara ko ēst, nevienas agrīnās vīģes, kas manai dvēselei gribās.
Woe is me! For I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat. My soul desires the first ripe fig.
2 Dievbijīgie iznīkuši no zemes, un taisna nav cilvēku vidū; tie visnotaļ glūn uz asinīm, cits citam tie met tīklus.
The devout man has perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood. They hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 Abām rokām tie dara ļaunu cik spēdami; valdnieks prasa un soģis tiesā par maksu, un lielskungs izrunā savas sirds kārību, un tā tie to sapin.
Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler asks, and the judge asks for a bribe. And the great man, he utters the evil desire of his soul. Thus they weave it together.
4 Tas labākais no tiem ir kā ērkšķis, un tas taisnākais kā ērkšķu krūms. Tavu sargu diena, tava piemeklēšana nāk - tad tie būs izsamisuši.
The best of them is as a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, has come. Now shall be their perplexity.
5 Neticat tuvākam un nepaļaujaties uz draugu; pasargi savas mutes durvis priekš tās, kas guļ tavā klēpī.
Trust ye not in a neighbor. Put ye not confidence in a friend. Keep the doors of thy mouth from her who lies in thy bosom.
6 Jo dēls nicina tēvu, meita ceļas pret savu māti, vedekla pret savu vīra māti, cilvēka ienaidnieki ir viņa paša mājas ļaudis.
For the son dishonors the father. The daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Bet es cerēšu uz To Kungu, es gaidīšu uz Dievu, savu Pestītāju; mans Dievs mani paklausīs.
But as for me, I will look to Jehovah. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
8 Nepriecājies, mana ienaidniece! Kad es esmu kritis, es atkal celšos; kad es sēžu tumsībā, tad Tas Kungs ir mans gaišums.
Rejoice not against me, O my enemy. When I fall, I shall arise. When I sit in darkness, Jehovah will be a light to me.
9 Es nesīšu Tā Kunga dusmību, jo es pret Viņu esmu grēkojis, tiekams Viņš iztiesās manu tiesas lietu un man nesīs tiesu. Viņš mani vedīs gaismā, es redzēšu ar prieku Viņa taisnību.
I will bear the indignation of Jehovah, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Un mana ienaidniece to redzēs un taps apsegta ar kaunu, - kas uz mani saka: kur ir Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs? Manas acis redzēs, ka viņu samīs kā dubļus ielā.
Then my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her who said to me, Where is Jehovah thy God? My eyes shall see my desire upon her. Now she shall be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 Nāks diena, tad tavi mūri taps uzcelti, tanī dienā robeža tālu sniegsies.
A day for building thy walls! In that day the decree shall be far removed.
12 Tanī dienā pie tevis nāks no Asura un Ēģiptes pilsētām, un no Ēģiptes līdz lielupei, un no vienas jūras līdz otrai un no viena kalna līdz otram.
In that day they shall come to thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.
13 Bet zeme taps postā savu iedzīvotāju dēļ, viņu darba augļu dēļ.
Yet the land shall be desolate because of those who dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Tu tad gani Savus ļaudis ar Savu zizli, Savas mantības ganāmo pulku, kas savrup dzīvo Karmeļa mežā; lai tie gana pa Basanu un Gileādu tā kā vecos laikos.
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, which dwell solitarily in the forest in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 Es tiem likšu brīnumus redzēt, kā tanīs dienās, kad jūs izgājāt no Ēģiptes zemes.
As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt I will show marvelous things to them.
16 Pagāni to redzēs un taps kaunā ar visu savu varu, tie roku liks uz muti, viņu ausis taps kurlas.
The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might. They shall lay their hand upon their mouth. Their ears shall be deaf.
17 Tie laizīs pīšļus kā čūska, kā zemes tārpi tie trīcēs savās pilīs, tie bīsies To Kungu, mūsu Dievu, un baiļosies no Tevis.
They shall lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places. They shall come with fear to Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee.
18 Kur ir tāds Dievs kā Tu? Kas piedod noziegumu un pamet pārkāpumu Savas mantības atlikušiem; Viņš nepatur Savu dusmību mūžīgi, jo Viņam ir labs prāts žēlot.
Who is a God like to thee, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.
19 Viņš atkal par mums apžēlosies, Viņš deldēs mūsu noziegumus. Tiešām, Tu visus viņu grēkus metīsi jūras dziļumos.
He will again have compassion upon us. He will tread our iniquities under foot, and thou will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Jēkabam Tu parādīsi uzticību, Ābrahāmam žēlastību, ko mūsu tēviem esi zvērējis no vecām dienām.
Thou will perform the truth to Jacob, and the loving kindness to Abraham, which thou have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
