Mihej 2
1 Teško onima koji smišljaju bezakonje i o zlu se trude na posteljama svojim, i kad svane izvršuju, jer im je sila u ruci.
Woe [to] those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the morning light they do it, For their hand is—to God.
2 Žele njive, i otimaju ih; žele kuæe, i uzimaju; èine silu èovjeku i kuæi njegovoj, èovjeku i našljedstvu njegovu.
And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance.
3 Zato ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja mislim zlo tome rodu, iz kojega neæete izvuæi vratova svojih, niti æete hoditi ponosito, jer æe biti zlo vrijeme.
Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am devising against this family calamity, From which you do not remove your necks, Nor walk loftily, for it [is] a time of evil.
4 U ono vrijeme govoriæe se prièa o vama, i naricaæe se žalosno govoreæi: propadosmo; promijeni dio naroda mojega; kako mi uze! uzevši njive naše razdijeli.
In that day [one] takes up for you an allegory, And he has wailed a wailing of woe, He has said, We have been utterly spoiled, The portion of my people He changes, How He moves toward me! To the backslider our fields He apportions.
5 Zato neæeš imati nikoga ko bi ti povukao uže za ždrijeb u zboru Gospodnjem.
Therefore, you have no caster of a line by lot In the assembly of YHWH.
6 Nemojte prorokovati, neka oni prorokuju; ako im ne prorokuju, neæe otstupiti sramota.
You do not prophesy—they prophesy, They do not prophesy to these, It does not remove shame.
7 O ti, koji se zoveš dom Jakovljev, je li se umalio duh Gospodnji? jesu li to djela njegova? eda li moje rijeèi nijesu dobre onome koji hodi pravo?
[Those] named the house of Jacob: Has the Spirit of YHWH been shortened? Are these His doings? Do My words not benefit the people that are walking uprightly?
8 A narod se moj prije podiže kao neprijatelj; preko haljine skidate plašt s onijeh koji prolaze ne bojeæi se, koji se vraæaju iz boja.
And recently My people raise up as an enemy, You strip off the honorable ornament from the outer garment, From the confident passers by, You who are turning back from war.
9 Žene naroda mojega izgonite iz milijeh kuæa njihovijeh, od djece njihove otimate slavu moju navijek.
The women of My people you cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings you take away My honor for all time.
10 Ustanite i idite, jer ovo nije poèivalište; što se oskvrni, pogubiæe vas pogiblju velikom.
Rise and go, for this [is] not the rest, Because of uncleanness it corrupts, And corruption is powerful.
11 Ako ko hodi za vjetrom i kazuje laži govoreæi: prorokovaæu ti za vino i za silovito piæe; taj æe biti prorok ovome narodu.
If one is going [with] the wind, And [with] falsehood has lied: I prophesy to you of wine, and of strong drink, He has been the prophet of this people!
12 Doista æu te sabrati svega, Jakove, doista æu skupiti ostatak Izrailjev; postaviæu ih zajedno kao ovce Vosorske, kao stado usred tora njihova, biæe vreva od ljudstva.
I surely gather you, O Jacob, all of you, I surely bring together the remnant of Israel, Together I set it as the flock of Bozrah, As a drove in the midst of its pasture, It makes a noise because of man.
13 Pred njima æe iæi koji razbija; oni æe razbiti i proæi kroz vrata, i izaæi æe; i car æe njihov iæi pred njima, i Gospod æe biti pred njima.
The breaker has gone up before them, They have broken through, Indeed, they pass through the gate, Indeed, they go out through it, And their king passes on before them, And YHWH at their head!”
