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 who lie awake planning evil, who in the light of morning carry out their plan because they have the power to do it.
2 Žele njive, i otimaju ih; žele kuæe, i uzimaju; èine silu èovjeku i kuæi njegovoj, èovjeku i našljedstvu njegovu.
They covet fields and seize them, desire houses and take them, they crush householder and his household, people and their possessions.
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 the Lord says: “I am planning disaster from which you cannot save your neck, nor walk proudly because it will be a terrible time.
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.
On that day they will sing a taunt-song to you, this mocking lament: ‘My people’s estate is being measured for sale, our captors are dividing our fields. We are completely undone.’
5 Zato neæeš imati nikoga ko bi ti povukao uže za ždrijeb u zboru Gospodnjem.
There will be no one to measure out land for you from the Lord’s community.
6 Nemojte prorokovati, neka oni prorokuju; ako im ne prorokuju, neæe otstupiti sramota.
“‘Don’t rant!’ they urge, ‘Of such things one does not prophesy! Shame will not overtake us!
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?
Is the Lord impatient, or are such things his deeds? Are not his words favorable to the family of Jacob?’ Aren’t my commands good for those who obey them?
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.
But you, you stand up as a foe against those who are peaceful; you strip the robe from those who pass by quietly, averse to conflict.
9 Žene naroda mojega izgonite iz milijeh kuæa njihovijeh, od djece njihove otimate slavu moju navijek.
Women of my people you drive out from their happy homes, from their young children you take away my glory forever.
10 Ustanite i idite, jer ovo nije poèivalište; što se oskvrni, pogubiæe vas pogiblju velikom.
Rise and begone, for this is no place to rest. Your uncleanness brings destruction, severe destruction.
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 a person walking in wine and falsehood were to say, ‘I will prophesy to you of wine and strong drink,’ then he would be the perfect prophet for 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 will assuredly assemble all of Jacob, I will surely gather the survivors of Israel. I will herd them together as sheep in a fold, like a flock in the pasture, and the land will resound with the sounds of multitudes.
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 one who breaks out goes first. They have broken forth and passed by the gate and through it have they gone out. Their king leads before them, the Lord at their head.”
