Книга пророка Михея 3
1 И речет: слышите убо сия, власти дому Иаковля и оставшии дому Израилева: не вам ли есть еже разумети суд?
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 Ненавидящии добра, а ищущии зла, похищающии кожы их с них и плоти их от костей их:
Ye who hate the good, and love the evil, who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones,
3 якоже объядоша плоти людий Моих, и кожы их от костей их одраша, и кости их столкоша и содробиша яко плоти в коноб и яко мяса в горнец:
who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4 тако возопиют ко Господу, и не послушает их и отвратит лице Свое от них в то время, понеже слукавноваша в начинаниих своих на Ня.
Then they shall cry to Jehovah, 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 Сия глаголет Господь на пророки льстящыя людий Моих, угрызающыя зубы своими и проповедающыя мир на них, и не вдася во уста их, возставиша на них рать:
Thus says Jehovah concerning the prophets who make my people to err, who bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace. And he who does not put into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
6 сего ради нощь будет вам от видения, и тма будет вам от волхвования, и зайдет солнце на пророки, и померкнет на ня день:
Therefore it shall be night to you, that ye shall have no vision. And it shall be dark to you, that ye shall not divine. And the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.
7 и усрамятся видящии сония, и посмеяни будут волсви, и возглаголют на них вси сии, зане не будет послушаяй их.
And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded. Yea, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.
8 Аще аз не наполню силы Духом Господним и судом и силою, еже возвестити Иакову нечестия его и Израилеви грехи его.
But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9 Слышите сия, старейшины дому Иаковля и оставшии дому Израилева, гнушающиися судом и вся правая развращающии,
Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity.
10 созидающии Сиона кровьми и Иерусалима неправдами:
They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 старейшины его на дарех суждаху, и жерцы его на мзде отвещаваху, и пророцы его на сребре волхвоваху, и на Господе почиваху, глаголюще: не Господь ли в нас есть? Не приидут на ны злая.
The heads of it judge for a bribe, and the priests of it teach for a wage, and the prophets of it divine for money. Yet they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? No evil shall come upon us.
12 Сего ради вас дела Сион якоже нива изорется, и Иерусалим яко овощное хранилище будет, и гора дому якоже луг дубравный.
Therefore for your sake Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
