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 am very miserable/frustrated! I am like [SIM] someone who is hungry, [who searches for fruit to pick] after all the fruit had been picked and who finds no grapes or figs to eat.
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 godly people have disappeared from this land; there is not one of them left. [The people who are left] are all murderers [MTY]; [it is as though] everyone is eager to kill his fellow countryman.
3 на зло руки своя уготовляют: князь просит, и судия мирная словеса глаголет, желание души его есть: и отиму благая их,
They [all] use both hands to do what is evil. [Government] officials and judges [all] ask for bribes. Important people tell others what they want, and they plot/scheme together [about how to get it done].
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 people are [as worthless] [SIM] as briers; the people [who are considered by others to be] [IRO] the most honest are worse than clumps of thornbushes. But, [Yahweh] will soon judge them; now is the time that he will punish people, a time when they will be [very] confused [because of being defeated].
5 Не верите другом, ни надейтеся на старейшины, и от сожителницы твоея хранися, еже сказати ей что:
[So], do not trust anyone! Do not trust [even] a friend; [even] be careful what you say to your wife whom you love!
6 понеже сын безчестит отца, дщерь востанет на матерь свою и невеста на свекровь свою, врази вси мужу домашнии его.
Boys will despise their fathers, and girls will defy their mothers. Women will defy their mothers-in-law. Your enemies will be those who live in your own houses.
7 Аз же ко Господеви воззрю, потерплю Бога спаса моего, услышит мя Бог мой.
As for me, I wait for Yahweh [to help me]. I confidently expect that God, my Savior, will answer me [when I pray].
8 Не радуйся о мне, враждебница моя, яко падох, и востану: зане аще сяду во тме, Господь осветит мя.
You who are our enemies, do not gloat/rejoice about [what has happened to] us, [because even] if we have experienced disasters, [those disasters will end and] we will be restored. [Even] if [it is as though] we are sitting in the darkness, Yahweh will be our 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.
We must be patient while Yahweh punishes us because we have sinned against him. But later, [it will be as though] he will go to court and defend us, and he will make sure that the judge makes a right decision about us. [It will be as though] he will bring us out into the light, and we will see it when he rescues us.
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.
Our enemies will [also] see that, and they will be disgraced because they [ridiculed us], saying “Why is [RHQ] Yahweh, that God of yours, [not helping you]?” But with our own eyes we will see them when they are defeated; we will see them trampled like [SIM] mud in the streets.
11 День глаждения плинфа: изглаждение твое день оный, и сотрет законы твоя день оный.
[You people of Israel, ] at that time your cities will be rebuilt, and your territory will become larger.
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.
[People from many countries will come to honor you]: people from Assyria and from [near] the [Euphrates] River [in the east] and from Egypt [in the south], from distant seas, and from many mountains.
13 И будет земля в пагубу со живущими на ней, от плодов начинаний их.
But [the other countries on] the earth will become desolate because of the [evil] things that their people have done.
14 Паси люди Твоя жезлом Твоим, овцы наследия Твоего, вселяющыяся едины в дубраве среде Кармила, попасут Васанитиду и Галаадитиду, якоже дние века.
Yahweh, protect your people like [MET] [a shepherd protects his sheep] by using his walking stick; lead your people [MET] whom you have chosen to belong to you. [Even though some of them] live by themselves in a forest, give them the fertile pastureland in the Bashan and Gilead [regions] that they possessed long ago.
15 И по днем исхода твоего из Египта узрите чудесная.
[Yahweh says/replies], “[Yes], I will perform miracles for you like the miracles that I performed when I rescued your [ancestors] from [being slaves in] Egypt.”
16 Узрят языцы и усрамятся от всея крепости своея, руце возложат на уста своя, и уши их оглохнут,
[People from many] nations will see [what Yahweh does for you], and they will be ashamed because they do not have any power. They will put their hands over their mouths and their ears [because they will be very amazed because of what Yahweh does], [and they will not be able to say anything or hear anything].
17 полижут персть яко змиеве плежуще по земли, смятутся во облежении своем: о Господе Бозе нашем ужаснутся и убоятся от Тебе.
[Being very humiliated, ] they will crawl on the ground [MTY] like [SIM] snakes. They will come out of their homes trembling, and stand revering Yahweh our God. They will be very afraid of him, and will tremble in front of 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.
[Yahweh], there is no [RHQ] God like you; you forgive the sins [DOU] that were committed by the people who have survived, the people who belong to you. You do not remain angry forever; you are very happy [to show us] that you faithfully love [us].
19 Той обратит и ущедрит ны, и погрузит неправды нашя и ввержет в глубины морския вся грехи нашя,
You will again act kindly/compassionately toward us. You will get rid of [the scroll on which you have written] the sins that we have committed [as though you were] trampling it under your feet or throwing it into the deep ocean.
20 даст истину Иакову, (и) милость Аврааму, якоже клялся еси отцем нашым во дни первыя.
You will show that you faithfully [do what you promised for us] and faithfully love us, just like you solemnly promised long ago to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob that you would do.
