Mihej 2
1 »Gorje tistim, ki snujejo krivičnost in na svojih posteljah počnejo zlo! Ko je jutro svetlo, to izvajajo, ker je to v moči njihove roke.
Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 Poželijo si polja in jih zavzamejo z nasiljem, hiše in si jih vzamejo. Tako zatirajo moža, njegovo hišo in njegovo dediščino, celo moža in njegovo dediščino.«
And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Zato tako govori Gospod: »Glej, zoper to družino snujem zlo, od katerega svojih vratov ne boste odstranili niti ne boste hodili ošabno, kajti ta čas je hud.
Therefore thus saith YHWH; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
4 Na tisti dan bo nekdo vzel prispodobo zoper vas in žaloval z otožnim žalovanjem in rekel: ›Popolnoma bomo oplenjeni. Spremenil je delež mojega ljudstva. Kako je to odstranjeno od mene! Obračajoč se stran je razdelil naša polja.‹
In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
5 Zato ne boš imel nobenega, ki bi z žrebom vrgel vrvico v Gospodovi skupnosti.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of YHWH.
6 »Ne prerokujte, « pravijo tistim, ki prerokujejo. Naj jim ne prerokujejo, da oni ne bi odvrnili sramote.
Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7 Oh ti, ki si poimenovan Jakobova hiša, mar je Gospodov duh omejen? Mar so to njegova dejanja? Ali moje besede ne delajo dobro tistemu, ki hodi pošteno?
O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of YHWH straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 Celo od davnine je moje ljudstvo vstalo kakor sovražnik. Ogrinjalo z oblačilom vlečete s tistih, ki varno hodijo mimo, kakor ljudje, ki so nasprotni vojni.
Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9 Ženske mojega ljudstva ste metali iz njihovih prijetnih hiš; njihovim otrokom ste mojo slavo vzeli na veke.
The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10 Vstanite in odidite, kajti to ni vaš počitek. Ker je ta [dežela] omadeževana, vas bo uničila, celo z bolečim uničenjem.
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 Če človek, ki hodi v duhu in neresnici, laže, rekoč: ›Prerokoval ti bom o vinu in o močni pijači, ‹ bo ta torej prerok temu ljudstvu.
If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 Zagotovo te bom vsega združil, oh Jakob, zagotovo bom zbral Izraelov preostanek. Skupaj jih bom postavil kakor ovce iz Bocre, kakor trop v sredi njihove staje. Naredili bodo velik hrup zaradi razloga množice ljudi.
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
13 Lomilec je prišel gor prednje. Vlomili so in prešli skozi velika vrata in pri njih odšli ven, in njihov kralj bo šel pred njimi in Gospod jim bo na čelu.«
The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and YHWH on the head of them.
