Книга пророка Михея 2
1 Быша помышляюще труды и делающе злая на ложах своих, и купно со днем совершаху тая, понеже не воздвигоша к Богу рук своих:
A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power.
2 и желаху сел, и грабляху сирот, и домы отимаху, и расхищаху мужа и дом его, и мужа и наследие его.
They have a desire for fields and take them by force; and for houses and take them away: they are cruel to a man and his family, even to a man and his heritage.
3 Сего ради сия глаголет Господь: се, Аз помышляю на племя сие злая, от нихже не подвигнете вый ваших и не пойдете прости внезапу, яко время зло есть.
For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.
4 В той день приимется на вы притча, и восплачется плачь с песнию, глаголющь: бедство пострадахом: часть людий моих измерися ужем, и не бе возбраняяй его, еже отвратитися: села ваша разделена быша.
In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.
5 Сего ради не будет тебе вмещущь ужа в жребии в сонме Господни.
For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.
6 Не плачитеся слезами, ниже да слезят о сих: не отвержет бо укоризны
Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!
7 глаголяй: дом Иаковль разгнева Дух Господень: не сия ли суть начинания Его? Не словеса ли Его суть добра с ним, и правии ходиша?
Is the Lord quickly made angry? are these his doings? do not his words do good to his people Israel?
8 И прежде людие Мои во вражду сопротивишася, противу миру своему: кожу его одраша, еже отяти упование, сокрушение ратное:
As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war.
9 сего ради старейшины людий Моих извергутся из домов сладости своея, злых ради начинаний своих отриновени быша. Приближитеся горам вечным:
The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever.
10 востани и пойди, яко несть тебе сей покой: нечистоты ради, истлесте тлением,
Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.
11 прогнастеся ни кимже гоними: дух постави лжу, искапа тебе в вино и пиянство: и будет, от капли людий сих,
If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.
12 собираемь соберется Иаков со всеми: приемяй прииму оставших Израилевых, вкупе положу возвращение его, аки овцы в скорби, яко паству посреде ложа их: изскочат от человек.
I will certainly make all of you, O Jacob, come together; I will get together the rest of Israel; I will put them together like the sheep in their circle: like a flock in their green field; they will be full of the noise of men.
13 Взыди просечением пред лицем их: просекоша, и проидоша врата, и изыдоша ими. И изыде царь их пред лицем их, Господь же Вождь их будет.
The opener of the way will go up before them: forcing their way out they will go on to the doorway and out through it: their king will go on before them, and the Lord at their head.
