Книга пророка Михея 7
1 У, люте мне! Понеже бых аки собираяй сламу на жатве, и яко пародок во оымании винограда не сущу гроздию, еже ясти первоплодная, яже вожделе душа моя.
I'm totally miserable! I've become like someone trying to glean summer fruit after the grape harvest is over. I can't find any grapes to eat, and there are no early figs that I love.
2 У, люте мне, душе! Яко погибе благочестивый от земли, и исправляющаго в человецех несть: вси во кровех прятся, кийждо ближняго своего озлобляет озлоблением,
All the good people in the country are gone, there's no one who does right left anywhere. Everyone is looking to murder others; they try to trap even their own brothers.
3 на зло руки своя уготовляют: князь просит, и судия мирная словеса глаголет, желание души его есть: и отиму благая их,
They are experts at evil; both officials and judges ask for bribes; the powerful demand their evil desires; and they scheme together to get what they want.
4 яко моль поядаяй, и ходяй по правилам в день стражбы. У, люте! У, люте! Отмщения Твоя приспеша, ныне будут плачы их.
Even the best of them is like a thorny bush, the most honest like a thorn hedge. Your day of judgment that was announced by the prophets, your time of punishment, has arrived. You'rethrown into complete confusion.
5 Не верите другом, ни надейтеся на старейшины, и от сожителницы твоея хранися, еже сказати ей что:
Don't trust a neighbor, don't rely on a friend. Watch what you say even to the one who lies in your arms.
6 понеже сын безчестит отца, дщерь востанет на матерь свою и невеста на свекровь свою, врази вси мужу домашнии его.
For a son treats his father with contempt; a daughter opposes her mother, and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law. Your enemies are members of your own family.
7 Аз же ко Господеви воззрю, потерплю Бога спаса моего, услышит мя Бог мой.
But as for me, I look to the Lord. I will wait for the God who saves me. My God will hear me.
8 Не радуйся о мне, враждебница моя, яко падох, и востану: зане аще сяду во тме, Господь осветит мя.
Don't gloat over me, my enemies! Even though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
9 Гнев Господень стерплю, яко согреших Ему, дондеже оправдит прю мою и сотворит суд мой: и изведет мя на свет, и узрю правду Его.
I will endure the Lord's anger because I have sinned against him. But after that he will argue my case and give me justice. He will bring me into the light and I will see his integrity.
10 И узрит враждебница моя, и облечется в студ глаголющая ко мне: где есть Господь Бог твой? Очи мои воззрят на ню, ныне будет в попрание аки кал на путех.
Then my enemies will see it and cover their faces in shame for taunting me, asking, “Where is the Lord your God?” With my own eyes I will see what happens to them; they will be trodden down like mud in the streets.
11 День глаждения плинфа: изглаждение твое день оный, и сотрет законы твоя день оный.
On that day it will be time to build your walls. On that day your boundaries will be extended.
12 И гради твои приидут на поравнение и в разделение Ассирийско, и гради твои твердии в разделение от Тира даже до реки Сирския, и от моря даже до моря, и от горы даже до горы, дние воды и молвы.
On that day people will come from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, from Egypt to the Euphrates River, from sea to sea, from mountain to mountain.
13 И будет земля в пагубу со живущими на ней, от плодов начинаний их.
But the rest of the earth will become desolate because of what those who live there have done.
14 Паси люди Твоя жезлом Твоим, овцы наследия Твоего, вселяющыяся едины в дубраве среде Кармила, попасут Васанитиду и Галаадитиду, якоже дние века.
Protect your people with your shepherd's rod. Take care of your flock, your special people, who live alone in the wilderness and in cultivated land. Let them feed in Basham and Gilead as they did long ago.
15 И по днем исхода твоего из Египта узрите чудесная.
Like the time when you left the land of Egypt, I will do miracles for you.
16 Узрят языцы и усрамятся от всея крепости своея, руце возложат на уста своя, и уши их оглохнут,
The nations will see, and they will be humiliated despite their strength. They will cover their mouths with their hands, and their ears shall become deaf.
17 полижут персть яко змиеве плежуще по земли, смятутся во облежении своем: о Господе Бозе нашем ужаснутся и убоятся от Тебе.
They will lick the dust like snakes; they will be like the creepy-crawlies of the earth. They will come trembling from their fortresses to meet the Lord our God, fearful and afraid before him.
18 Кто Бог якоже Ты, отемляй беззакония и оставляяй нечестия останком наследия Своего? И не удержа гнева Своего во свидение, яко Волитель милости есть.
Who is a God like you who forgives sin and passes over the rebellion of those who are left of his special people? You do not remain angry forever because you delight in showing faithful love.
19 Той обратит и ущедрит ны, и погрузит неправды нашя и ввержет в глубины морския вся грехи нашя,
You will have compassion on us again. You will tread our sins under your feet, and you will throw our sins into the depths of the sea.
20 даст истину Иакову, (и) милость Аврааму, якоже клялся еси отцем нашым во дни первыя.
You will give your trustworthy truth to the people of Jacob, your faithful love to the people of Abraham, as you promised our forefathers long ago.
