Книга пророка Михея 3
1 И речет: слышите убо сия, власти дому Иаковля и оставшии дому Израилева: не вам ли есть еже разумети суд?
Then I said, “You Israeli [MTY] leaders, listen [to what I say]! You should certainly [RHQ] know what things are right [to do] [and what things are wrong],
2 Ненавидящии добра, а ищущии зла, похищающии кожы их с них и плоти их от костей их:
but you hate what is good and you love what is evil. [You act like butchers]: [it is as though] you strip the skin off my people and [tear] the flesh from 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:
[It is as though] you chop them into pieces like [SIM] meat [to be cooked] in a 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.
Then, [when you have troubles], you plead to Yahweh [to help you], but he will not answer you. At that time, he will turn away from you because of the evil things that you have done.”
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:
This is what Yahweh says about your [false] prophets who are deceiving the people: “If someone gives them food, those prophets say that things will go well for him. But they declare war against anyone who does not give them food.
6 сего ради нощь будет вам от видения, и тма будет вам от волхвования, и зайдет солнце на пророки, и померкнет на ня день:
So [now it is as though] [MET] night will descend on you prophets; you will not receive any [more] visions. [It is as though] [MET] the sun will set for you; the time [when you are greatly honored] will end.
7 и усрамятся видящии сония, и посмеяни будут волсви, и возглаголют на них вси сии, зане не будет послушаяй их.
[Then] you (seers/people who predict what will happen in the future) [DOU] will be disgraced; you will cover your faces [because you will be ashamed], because when you ask me [what will happen], there will be no answer from me.”
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 [God’s] power, [power] from the Spirit of Yahweh. I am courageous and strong to declare to the Israeli people [MTY, DOU] that they have sinned and rebelled [against Yahweh].
9 Слышите сия, старейшины дому Иаковля и оставшии дому Израилева, гнушающиися судом и вся правая развращающии,
You leaders of the people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this! You hate [it when people do] what is just; and [when people say] what is true, you distort it, [saying it is false].
10 созидающии Сиона кровьми и Иерусалима неправдами:
[It is as though] you are building [houses in] Jerusalem on foundations that consist of murdering people and doing what is corrupt.
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.
Your leaders make [favorable] decisions [only if they receive] bribes. Your priests teach people only if [those people] pay them [well]. Your [false] prophets require people to pay them to tell people what will happen [to them] in the future. Those prophets say, “Yahweh is telling us [what we should say], and [we say that] we will not experience any disasters.”
12 Сего ради вас дела Сион якоже нива изорется, и Иерусалим яко овощное хранилище будет, и гора дому якоже луг дубравный.
Because of what you [leaders do], Zion [Hill] will be plowed like a field; it will become a heap of ruins/rubble; the top of the hill, where the temple is [now], will be covered with bushes.
