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:
Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 и желаху сел, и грабляху сирот, и домы отимаху, и расхищаху мужа и дом его, и мужа и наследие его.
And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even 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.
Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which all of you shall not remove your necks; neither shall all of you go haughtily: for this time is evil.
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 shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he has changed the portion of my people: how has he removed it from me! turning away he has divided our fields.
5 Сего ради не будет тебе вмещущь ужа в жребии в сонме Господни.
Therefore you shall have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
6 Не плачитеся слезами, ниже да слезят о сих: не отвержет бо укоризны
Prophesy all of you not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7 глаголяй: дом Иаковль разгнева Дух Господень: не сия ли суть начинания Его? Не словеса ли Его суть добра с ним, и правии ходиша?
O you that are named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walks uprightly?
8 И прежде людие Мои во вражду сопротивишася, противу миру своему: кожу его одраша, еже отяти упование, сокрушение ратное:
Even of late my people has risen up as an enemy: all of you pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from 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 have all of you cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have all of you taken away my glory for ever.
10 востани и пойди, яко несть тебе сей покой: нечистоты ради, истлесте тлением,
Arise all of you, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 прогнастеся ни кимже гоними: дух постави лжу, искапа тебе в вино и пиянство: и будет, от капли людий сих,
If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto you of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of 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 surely assemble, O Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude 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 breaker has come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
