Mihej 3
1 Rekel sem: »Poslušajte, prosim vas, oh Jakobovi poglavarji in vi princi Izraelove hiše: › Mar ni to za vas, da poznate sodbo?‹
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 Ki sovražite dobro in ljubite zlo, ki njihovo kožo trgate iz njih in njihovo meso iz njihovih kosti,
Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones,
3 ki tudi jeste meso mojega ljudstva in odirate njihovo kožo iz njih; in lomijo njihove kosti in jih sekajo na koščke, kakor za lonec in kakor meso znotraj kotla.
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 Potem bodo klicali h Gospodu, toda ne bo jih slišal. Ob tistem času bo celo svoj obraz skril pred njimi, kakor so se oni slabo obnašali v svojih ravnanjih.
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 Tako govori Gospod glede prerokov, ki mojemu ljudstvu povzročajo, da se moti, ki grizejo s svojimi zobmi in kličejo: ›Mir; ‹ in kdor ne daje v njihova usta, pripravljajo celo vojno zoper njega.
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 Zato bo nad vami noč, da ne boste imeli videnja; in ta vam bo temna, da ne boste vedeževali; in sonce bo zašlo nad preroki in dan bo otemnel nad njimi.
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 Takrat bodo vidci osramočeni in vedeževalci zbegani. Da, vsi bodo pokrivali svoje ustnice, kajti tam ni odgovora od Boga.
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 Toda resnično, jaz sem po Gospodovem duhu poln oblasti, sodbe in moči, da Jakobu razglasim njegov prestopek in Izraelu njegov greh.
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 Poslušajte to, prosim vas, vi poglavarji Jakobove hiše in princi Izraelove hiše, ki se vam gnusi sodba in izkrivljate vso pravico.
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 Sion gradijo s krvjo in Jeruzalem s krivičnostjo.
Building up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 Njihovi poglavarji sodijo zaradi nagrade in njihovi duhovniki učijo zaradi plačila in preroki vedežujejo zaradi denarja. Vendar ali se bodo naslonili na Gospoda in rekli: › Mar ni Gospod med nami? Nobeno zlo ne more priti nad nas.‹
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 Zato bo zaradi vas Sion preoran kakor polje in Jeruzalem bo spremenjen v razvaline in gore [te] hiše kakor visoki kraji gozda.«
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!
