Mihej 3
1 Zato rekoh: èujte, poglavice Jakovljeve i knezovi doma Izrailjeva, ne treba li vam znati šta je pravo?
And I said: Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?
2 Koji mrzite na dobro a ljubite zlo, sadirete kožu s njih i meso s kosti njihovijeh;
Who hate the good, and love the evil; who rob their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3 I jedete meso naroda mojega i sadirete kožu s njih i kosti im prebijate, i sasijecate kao u lonac i kao meso u kotao.
Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones; yea, they chop them in pieces, as that which is in the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4 Tada æe vikati ka Gospodu, ali ih neæe uslišiti, nego æe sakriti lice svoje od njih u ono vrijeme, kako oni zlo radiše.
Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but He will not answer them; yea, He will hide His face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.
5 Ovako veli Gospod za proroke koji zavode moj narod, koji grizu zubima svojim i vièu: mir; i ako im ko ne da ništa u usta, dižu rat na nj.
Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that cry: 'Peace', when their teeth have any thing to bite; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him:
6 Zato æe vam utvara biti noæ i proricanje vaše tama; i sunce æe zaæi tijem prorocima i dan æe im se smraèiti.
Therefore it shall be night unto you, that ye shall have no vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.
7 Tada æe se postidjeti vidioci, i vraèari æe se posramiti, i svi æe zastrijeti usne svoje, jer neæe biti odgovora Božijega.
And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their upper lips; for there shall be no answer of God.
8 Ali ja sam pun sile od duha Gospodnjega, i suda i hrabrosti da kažem Jakovu zloèinstvo njegovo i Izrailju grijeh njegov.
But I truly am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of justice, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9 Èujte ovo, poglavice doma Jakovljeva i knezovi doma Izrailjeva, koji se gadite na pravdu, i sve što je pravo izvræete;
Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, that abhor justice, and pervert all equity;
10 Koji gradite Sion krvlju i Jerusalim bezakonjem.
That build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 Poglavari njegovi sude po mitu, i sveštenici njegovi uèe za platu, i proroci njegovi gataju za novce, a na Gospoda se oslanjaju govoreæi: nije li Gospod usred nas? neæe doæi zlo na nas.
The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money; yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say: 'Is not the LORD in the midst of us? No evil shall come upon us'?
12 Zato æe se s vas Sion preorati kao njiva, i Jerusalim æe postati gomila, i gora od doma visoka šuma.
Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
