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.
Misery is mine! Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard. There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig.
2 Dievbijīgie iznīkuši no zemes, un taisna nav cilvēku vidū; tie visnotaļ glūn uz asinīm, cits citam tie met tīklus.
The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright amongst men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts 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 on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe. The powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire 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 like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of their confusion.
5 Neticat tuvākam un nepaļaujaties uz draugu; pasargi savas mutes durvis priekš tās, kas guļ tavā klēpī.
Don’t trust in a neighbour. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!
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 dishonours 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 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.
Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will 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 pleads my case and executes judgement for me. He will bring me out to 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.
Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.
11 Nāks diena, tad tavi mūri taps uzcelti, tanī dienā robeža tālu sniegsies.
A day to build your walls! In that day, he will extend your boundary.
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 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 will 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.
Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest. Let them feed in the middle of fertile pasture land, 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 your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvellous things.”
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 ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will 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 will lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth, they will come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to the LORD our God, and will be afraid 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, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t 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 on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot. You 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.
You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
