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 say, 'Hear, I pray you, heads of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know the judgment?
2 Ненавидящии добра, а ищущии зла, похищающии кожы их с них и плоти их от костей их:
Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently 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:
And who have eaten the flesh of My people, And their skin from off them have stript, And their bones they have broken, And they have spread [them] out as in a pot, And as flesh in the midst of a 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 do they cry unto Jehovah, And He doth not answer them, And hideth His face from them at that time, As they have made evil 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 said Jehovah concerning the prophets Who are causing My people to err, Who are biting with their teeth, And have cried 'Peace,' And he who doth not give unto their mouth, They have sanctified against him war.
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 a night ye have without vision, And darkness ye have without divination, And gone in hath the sun on the prophets, And black over them hath been the day.
7 и усрамятся видящии сония, и посмеяни будут волсви, и возглаголют на них вси сии, зане не будет послушаяй их.
And ashamed have been the seers, And confounded have been the diviners, And covered their lip have all of them, For their is no answer, O God.
8 Аще аз не наполню силы Духом Господним и судом и силою, еже возвестити Иакову нечестия его и Израилеви грехи его.
And yet I have been 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, heads of the house of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Who are making judgment abominable, And all uprightness do pervert.
10 созидающии Сиона кровьми и Иерусалима неправдами:
Building 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.
Her heads for a bribe do judge, And her priests for hire do teach, And her prophets for silver divine, And on Jehovah they lean, saying, 'Is not Jehovah in our midst? Evil doth not come in 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 is ploughed a field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mount of the house [is] for high places of a forest!
