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:
How disastrous it will be for those who devise evil plans as they lie awake at night. They get up in the morning to carry them out, because they have the power to do just that.
2 и желаху сел, и грабляху сирот, и домы отимаху, и расхищаху мужа и дом его, и мужа и наследие его.
They seize any fields they want. They take any houses they want. They cheat people of their houses, and steal their inheritance.
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.
So this is what the Lord says. Watch out! I am planning to bring disaster on such families. They won't be able to escape. You will no longer walk around arrogantly, for this will be a time of disaster.
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.
On that day they will make up a saying to taunt you. With a mocking lament they will say, “We are totally ruined! Our possessions are being sold off. They've taken everything away, and given our fields to your conquerors.”
5 Сего ради не будет тебе вмещущь ужа в жребии в сонме Господни.
Consequently at that time there will be none of you in the assembly of the Lord responsible for the division of the land.
6 Не плачитеся слезами, ниже да слезят о сих: не отвержет бо укоризны
But you preach at me, saying, “Don't preach such things. Don't prophesy like this. Such a humiliation won't happen to us!”
7 глаголяй: дом Иаковль разгнева Дух Господень: не сия ли суть начинания Его? Не словеса ли Его суть добра с ним, и правии ходиша?
Should you talk like that, descendants of Jacob? You ask, “Can the Lord run out of patience? Is this what he does?” Are not my words good to those who do what is right? asks the Lord.
8 И прежде людие Мои во вражду сопротивишася, противу миру своему: кожу его одраша, еже отяти упование, сокрушение ратное:
Lately my people have risen up against me like an enemy. You steal the coats off the backs of those passing by, men returning from war who expect to be safe in their homeland.
9 сего ради старейшины людий Моих извергутся из домов сладости своея, злых ради начинаний своих отриновени быша. Приближитеся горам вечным:
You drive the women of my people from their comfortable homes; you have robbed their children of my blessings forever.
10 востани и пойди, яко несть тебе сей покой: нечистоты ради, истлесте тлением,
Get up! Leave! For this is not a place for you to stay. It is defiled and totally ruined.
11 прогнастеся ни кимже гоними: дух постави лжу, искапа тебе в вино и пиянство: и будет, от капли людий сих,
If a false prophet should come to you and lie, saying, “I'll preach to you about the virtues of wine and alcohol,” he would be the perfect prophet for your kind of 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 gather all of you, descendants of Jacob, I will certainly bring back together those who are left, Israel. I will place them like sheep in the fold, like a flock in its pasture. The land will be filled with people celebrating.
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 One who opens the way for them will lead them, breaking through the gate and going out. Their King will lead them; the Lord himself will be at their head.
