Mihej 7
1 Gorje meni! Kajti sem kakor, ko so zbrali poletne sadove, kakor paberkovanje grozdne trgatve. Tam ni nobenega grozda, da bi ga jedel; moja duša si je želela prvi sad.
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the gleaning of grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first-fruits fruit.
2 Dober človek je izginil z zemlje in nobenega poštenega ni med ljudmi. Vsi v zasedi prežijo na kri, vsak svojega brata z mrežo lovi.
The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 Da lahko počnejo zlo, iskreno, z obema rokama. Princ zahteva in sodnik povprašuje po nagradi. In velik človek, on izreka svojo pogubno željo. Tako to sprevračajo.
That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asks, and the judge asks for a reward; and the great man, he utters his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 Najboljši izmed njih je kakor osat. Najpokončnejši je ostrejši, kakor trnova ograja. Dan tvojih stražarjev in tvojega obiskanja prihaja; sedaj bo [to] njihova zmedenost.
The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of your watchmen and your visitation comes; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Ne zaupaj prijatelju, ne položi zaupanja v vodiča, varuj vrata svojih ust pred njo, ki leži v tvojem naročju.
Trust all of you not in a friend, put all of you not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of your mouth from her that lies in your bosom.
6 Kajti sin ne spoštuje očeta, hči se vzdiguje zoper svojo mater, snaha zoper svojo taščo. Človeku so sovražniki ljudje iz njegove lastne hiše.
For the son dishonours the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Zatorej bom gledal h Gospodu, čakal bom na Boga rešitve moje duše. Moj Bog me bo slišal.
Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Ne razveseljuj se zoper mene, oh moja sovražnica. Ko padem, bom vstal; ko sedim v temi, mi bo Gospod svetloba.
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
9 Prenašal bom Gospodovo ogorčenje, ker sem grešil zoper njega, dokler ne brani mojega primera in ne izvrši sodbe zame. Privedel me bo k svetlobi in gledal bom njegovo pravičnost.
I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Potem bo tista, ki je moja sovražnica, to videla in sramota bo pokrila tisto, ki mi je rekla; ›Kje je Gospod, tvoj Bog?‹ Moje oči jo bodo gledale. Sedaj bo pomendrana kakor ulično blato.
Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD your God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 Na dan, ko naj bi bili zgrajeni tvoji zidovi, na tisti dan bo odlok odstranjen daleč.
In the day that your walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
12 Na ta dan bo tudi on prišel k tebi, celo iz Asirije in od utrjenih mest in od trdnjave, celo do reke in od morja do morja in od gore do gore.
In that day also he shall come even to you from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Vendar bo dežela zapuščena zaradi tistih, ki prebivajo v njej, zaradi sadov njihovih početij.
Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Pasi svoje ljudstvo s svojo palico, trop svoje dediščine, ki prebiva osamljeno v goščavi, v sredi Karmela. Naj se pasejo v Bašánu in Gileádu, kakor v dneh davnine.
Feed your people with your rod, the flock of your heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 Kakor v dneh tvojega prihoda iz egiptovske dežele mu bom pokazal čudovite stvari.
According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt will I show unto him marvellous things.
16 Narodi bodo videli in bodo zbegani ob vsej njihovi moči. Svojo roko bodo položili na svoja usta, njihova ušesa bodo gluha.
The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 Prah bodo lizali kakor kača, iz svojih lukenj bodo prilezli kakor črvi zemlje. Bali se bodo Gospoda, našega Boga in bali se bodo zaradi tebe.
They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of you.
18 Kdo je Bog, podoben tebi, ki oprošča krivičnost in gre mimo prestopka, preostanka svoje dediščine? Svoje jeze ne ohranja na veke, ker se razveseljuje v usmiljenju.
Who is a God like unto you, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retains not his anger for ever, because he delights in mercy.
19 Ponovno se bo obrnil, nad nami bo imel sočutje, podjarmil bo naše krivičnosti in vse njihove grehe boš vrgel v globine morja.
He will return, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Jakobu boš izvršil resnico in Abrahamu usmiljenje, ki si ga od dni davnine prisegel našim očetom.
You will perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which you have sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
