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.
Sorrow is mine! for I am as when they have got in the summer fruits, like the last of the grapes: there is nothing for food, not even an early fig for my desire.
2 Dievbijīgie iznīkuši no zemes, un taisna nav cilvēku vidū; tie visnotaļ glūn uz asinīm, cits citam tie met tīklus.
The good man is gone from the earth, there is no one upright among men: they are all waiting secretly for blood, every man is going after 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 made ready to do evil; the ruler makes requests for money, and the judge is looking for a reward; and the great man gives decisions at his pleasure, and the right is twisted.
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 like a waste plant, and their upright ones are like a wall of thorns. Sorrow! the day of their fate has come; now will trouble come on them.
5 Neticat tuvākam un nepaļaujaties uz draugu; pasargi savas mutes durvis priekš tās, kas guļ tavā klēpī.
Put no faith in a friend, do not let your hope be placed in a relation: keep watch on the doors of your mouth against her who is resting on your breast.
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 puts shame on his father, the daughter goes against her mother and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's haters are those of his family.
7 Bet es cerēšu uz To Kungu, es gaidīšu uz Dievu, savu Pestītāju; mans Dievs mani paklausīs.
But as for me, I am looking to the Lord; I am waiting for the God of my salvation: the ears of my God will be open to me.
8 Nepriecājies, mana ienaidniece! Kad es esmu kritis, es atkal celšos; kad es sēžu tumsībā, tad Tas Kungs ir mans gaišums.
Do not be glad because of my sorrow, O my hater: after my fall I will be lifted up; when I am seated in the dark, the Lord 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 undergo the wrath of the Lord, because of my sin against him; till he takes up my cause and does what is right for me: when he makes me come out into the light, I will see 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.
And my hater will see it and be covered with shame; she who said to me, Where is the Lord your God? my eyes will see their desire effected on her, now she will be crushed under foot like the dust of the streets.
11 Nāks diena, tad tavi mūri taps uzcelti, tanī dienā robeža tālu sniegsies.
A day for building your walls! in that day will your limits be stretched far and wide.
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 will come to you from Assyria and the towns of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
13 Bet zeme taps postā savu iedzīvotāju dēļ, viņu darba augļu dēļ.
But the land will become a waste because of its people, as the fruit of their works.
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.
Keep your people safe with your rod, the flock of your heritage, living by themselves in the woods in the middle of Carmel: let them get their food in Bashan and Gilead as in the past.
15 Es tiem likšu brīnumus redzēt, kā tanīs dienās, kad jūs izgājāt no Ēģiptes zemes.
As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, let us see things of wonder.
16 Pagāni to redzēs un taps kaunā ar visu savu varu, tie roku liks uz muti, viņu ausis taps kurlas.
The nations will see and be shamed because of all their strength; they will put their hands on their mouths, their ears will be stopped.
17 Tie laizīs pīšļus kā čūska, kā zemes tārpi tie trīcēs savās pilīs, tie bīsies To Kungu, mūsu Dievu, un baiļosies no Tevis.
They will take dust as their food like a snake, like the things which go flat on the earth; they will come shaking with fear out of their secret places: they will come with fear to the Lord our God, full of fear because of you.
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 you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.
19 Viņš atkal par mums apžēlosies, Viņš deldēs mūsu noziegumus. Tiešām, Tu visus viņu grēkus metīsi jūras dziļumos.
He will again have pity on us; he will put our sins under his feet: and you will send all our sins down into the heart of the sea.
20 Jēkabam Tu parādīsi uzticību, Ābrahāmam žēlastību, ko mūsu tēviem esi zvērējis no vecām dienām.
You will make clear your good faith to Jacob and your mercy to Abraham, as you gave your oath to our fathers from times long past.
