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.
Alas for them who devise iniquity and work wickedness upon their beds, —in the light of the morning, they will execute it, for it is in the power of their hand.
2 Žele njive, i otimaju ih; žele kuæe, i uzimaju; èine silu èovjeku i kuæi njegovoj, èovjeku i našljedstvu njegovu.
Thus do they covet fields and seize them, and houses and take them away, —and so they oppress the master and his household, the 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, saith Yahweh, Behold me! devising, against this family, a calamity, —from which ye shall not remove your neck, neither shall ye walk loftily, for, a time of calamity, shall it be.
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, shall one take up against you a by-word, and lament a lamentable lamentation, saying—we are made, utterly desolate, the portion of my people, he passeth to others, —How doth he set me aside! To an apostate, our fields, doth he apportion.
5 Zato neæeš imati nikoga ko bi ti povukao uže za ždrijeb u zboru Gospodnjem.
Therefore, shalt thou have none to throw a measuring-line by lot, —in the convocation of Yahweh.
6 Nemojte prorokovati, neka oni prorokuju; ako im ne prorokuju, neæe otstupiti sramota.
Do not sputter—So they sputter! They must not sputter as to these things, Must he not put away reproaches?
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?
O thou who art said to be the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of Yahweh, impatient? Or are, these, his doings? Are not, his words, pleasant to him who is upright in his walk?
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, against my people, as an enemy, he setteth himself, from off the robe, they tear away, the cloak, —from such as are passing by with confidence, as men averse from war.
9 Žene naroda mojega izgonite iz milijeh kuæa njihovijeh, od djece njihove otimate slavu moju navijek.
The wives of my people, ye do even drive out, each from the house of her darlings, —from over her children, ye do take away mine ornament, as long as life shall last.
10 Ustanite i idite, jer ovo nije poèivalište; što se oskvrni, pogubiæe vas pogiblju velikom.
Arise ye and depart, for, this, is not the place of rest, —Because it is defiled, it shall make desolate with a desolation that is ruthless.
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 there be a man, who goeth after wind, and, falsehood, hath woven, [saying] —I will discourse to thee, concerning wine and strong drink, then shall he become a fountain of discourse unto 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, surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee, I will, surely gather, the remnant of Israel, at once, will I make them like sheep in distress, —Like a flock in the midst of its pasture, shall they hum with men,
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.
One making a breach, hath gone up, before them, they have broken in, and passed through, and, by the gate, have departed, —and their king, hath passed through, before them, with, Yahweh, at their head!
