Mihej 7
1 Teško meni! jer sam kao kad se obere ljetina, kao kad se pabirèi poslije branja vinogradskoga; nema grozda za jelo, ranoga voæa želi duša moja.
Woe is me, for I am become as one that gleaneth in autumn the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, my soul desired the firstripe figs.
2 Nesta pobožnoga sa zemlje i nema pravoga meðu ljudima, svi vrebaju krv, svaki lovi brata svojega mrežom.
The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his brother to death.
3 Da èine zlo objema rukama što više mogu, ište knez; i sudija sudi za platu, i ko je velik govori opaèinu duše svoje, i spleæu je.
The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requireth, and the judge is for giving: and the great man hath uttered the desire of his soul, and they have troubled it.
4 Najbolji je izmeðu njih kao trn, najpraviji je gori od trnjaka; dan stražara tvojih, pohoðenje tvoje, doðe, sada æe se smesti.
He that is best among them, is as a brier: and he that is righteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy visitation cometh: now shall be their destruction.
5 Ne vjerujte prijatelju, ne oslanjajte se na voða; od one koja ti na krilu leži, èuvaj vrata usta svojih.
Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.
6 Jer sin grdi oca, kæi ustaje na mater svoju, snaha na svekrvu svoju, neprijatelji su èovjeku domašnji njegovi.
For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man’s enemies are they of his own household.
7 Ali ja æu Gospoda pogledati, èekaæu Boga spasenja svojega; uslišiæe me Bog moj.
But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God my Saviour: my God will hear me.
8 Nemoj mi se radovati, neprijateljice moja; ako padoh, ustaæu; ako sjedim u mraku, Gospod æe mi biti vidjelo.
Rejoice not, thou, my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
9 Podnosiæu gnjev Gospodnji, jer mu zgriješih, dok ne raspravi parbu moju i da mi pravicu; izvešæe me na vidjelo, vidjeæu pravdu njegovu.
I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him; until he judge my cause and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.
10 Neprijateljica æe moja vidjeti, i sram æe je pokriti, koja mi govori: gdje je Gospod Bog tvoj? oèi æe je moje vidjeti; sada æe se ona pogaziti kao blato na ulicama.
And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame, who saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall look down upon her: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.
11 U koje se vrijeme sazidaju zidovi tvoji, u to æe vrijeme otiæi zapovijest nadaleko;
The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day shall the law be far removed.
12 U to æe vrijeme dolaziti k tebi od Asirske do tvrdijeh gradova, i od tvrdijeh gradova do rijeke, i od mora do mora, i od gore do gore.
In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the fortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 A zemlja æe biti pusta sa stanovnika svojih, za plod djela njihovijeh.
And the land shall be made desolate, because of the inhabitants thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.
14 Pasi narod svoj s palicom svojom, stado našljedstva svojega, koje živi osamljeno u šumi, usred Karmila; neka pasu po Vasanu i po Galadu, kao u staro vrijeme.
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old.
15 Kao u vrijeme kad si izašao iz zemlje Misirske pokazaæu mu èudesa.
According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt I will shew him wonders.
16 Narodi æe vidjeti, i postidjeæe se od sve sile svoje; metnuæe ruku na usta, uši æe im zagluhnuti.
The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 Lizaæe prah kao zmija; kao bubine zemaljske drkæuæi ižlješæe iz rupa svojih; pritrèaæe uplašeni ka Gospodu Bogu našemu, i tebe æe se bojati.
They shall lick the dust like serpents, as the creeping things of the earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the Lord our God, and shall fear thee.
18 Ko je Bog kao ti? koji prašta bezakonje i prolazi prijestupe ostatku od našljedstva svojega, ne drži dovijeka gnjeva svojega, jer mu je mila milost.
Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy.
19 Opet æe se smilovati na nas; pogaziæe naša bezakonja; baciæeš u dubine morske sve grijehe njihove.
He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.
20 Pokazaæeš istinu Jakovu, milost Avramu, kako si se zakleo ocima našim u staro vrijeme.
Thou wilt perform the truth of Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
