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 desired the first ripe fruit.
2 Dievbijīgie iznīkuši no zemes, un taisna nav cilvēku vidū; tie visnotaļ glūn uz asinīm, cits citam tie met tīklus.
The good [man] hath perished from 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.
That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
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 sharper] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen [and] thy visitation cometh; 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 friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth 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 dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth 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.
Therefore I will look to the LORD; 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, 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 bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he shall plead my cause, and execute 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 [she that is] my enemy shall see [it], and shame shall cover her who said to me, Where is the LORD thy God? my eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 Nāks diena, tad tavi mūri taps uzcelti, tanī dienā robeža tālu sniegsies.
[In] the day that thy walls are to be built, [in] that day shall the decree 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 [also] he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and [from] the fortified cities, and from the fortress 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.
Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell in it, 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, who dwell solitarily [in] the wood, 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.
According to the days of thy departure from the land of Egypt will I show to him marvelous [things].
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 confounded at 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, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear 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, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth [in] mercy.
19 Viņš atkal par mums apžēlosies, Viņš deldēs mūsu noziegumus. Tiešām, Tu visus viņu grēkus metīsi jūras dziļumos.
He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt 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 wilt perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
