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 he shall say, Hear now these words, you heads of the house of Jacob, and you remnant of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Ненавидящии добра, а ищущии зла, похищающии кожы их с них и плоти их от костей их:
[who] hate good, and seek evil; [who] tear their skins off them, and their flesh 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:
even as they devoured the flesh of my people, and stripped their skins off them, and broke their bones, and divided [them] as flesh for the caldron, and as meat for the pot,
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.
thus they shall cry to the Lord, but he shall not listen to them; and he shall turn away his face from them at that time, because they have done wickedly in their practices against themselves.
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 the Lord concerning the prophets that lead my people astray, that bit with their teeth, and proclaim peace to them; and [when] nothing was put into their mouth, they raised up war against them:
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 there shall be night to you instead of a vision, and there shall be to you darkness instead of prophecy; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be dark upon them.
7 и усрамятся видящии сония, и посмеяни будут волсви, и возглаголют на них вси сии, зане не будет послушаяй их.
And the seers of night-visions shall be ashamed, and the prophets shall be laughed to scorn: and all the people shall speak against them, because there shall be none to listen to them.
8 Аще аз не наполню силы Духом Господним и судом и силою, еже возвестити Иакову нечестия его и Израилеви грехи его.
Surely I will strengthen myself with the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of power, to declare to Jacob his transgressions, and to Israel his sins.
9 Слышите сия, старейшины дому Иаковля и оставшии дому Израилева, гнушающиися судом и вся правая развращающии,
Hear now these words, you chiefs of the house of Jacob, and the remnant of the house of Israel, who hate judgment, and pervert all righteousness;
10 созидающии Сиона кровьми и Иерусалима неправдами:
who build up Sion 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 thereof have judged for gifts, and the priests thereof have answered for hire, and her prophets have divined for silver: and [yet] they have rested on the Lord, saying, Is not the Lord among 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 on your account Sion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a storehouse of fruits, and the mountain of the house as a grove of the forest.
