Micah 7
1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage: [there is] no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first ripe fruit.
Teško meni! jer sam kao kad se obere ljetina, kao kad se pabirèi poslije branja vinogradskoga; nema grozda za jelo, ranoga voæa želi duša moja.
2 The good [man] hath perished from 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.
Nesta pobožnoga sa zemlje i nema pravoga meðu ljudima, svi vrebaju krv, svaki lovi brata svojega mrežom.
3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
Da èine zlo objema rukama što više mogu, ište knez; i sudija sudi za platu, i ko je velik govori opaèinu duše svoje, i spleæu je.
4 The best of them [is] as a brier: the most upright [is sharper] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen [and] thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
Najbolji je izmeðu njih kao trn, najpraviji je gori od trnjaka; dan stražara tvojih, pohoðenje tvoje, doðe, sada æe se smesti.
5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
Ne vjerujte prijatelju, ne oslanjajte se na voða; od one koja ti na krilu leži, èuvaj vrata usta svojih.
6 For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies [are] the men of his own house.
Jer sin grdi oca, kæi ustaje na mater svoju, snaha na svekrvu svoju, neprijatelji su èovjeku domašnji njegovi.
7 Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Ali ja æu Gospoda pogledati, èekaæu Boga spasenja svojega; uslišiæe me Bog moj.
8 Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD [will be] a light to me.
Nemoj mi se radovati, neprijateljice moja; ako padoh, ustaæu; ako sjedim u mraku, Gospod æe mi biti vidjelo.
9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he shall plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.
Podnosiæu gnjev Gospodnji, jer mu zgriješih, dok ne raspravi parbu moju i da mi pravicu; izvešæe me na vidjelo, vidjeæu pravdu njegovu.
10 Then [she that is] my enemy shall see [it], and shame shall cover her who said to me, Where is the LORD thy God? my eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
Neprijateljica æe moja vidjeti, i sram æe je pokriti, koja mi govori: gdje je Gospod Bog tvoj? oèi æe je moje vidjeti; sada æe se ona pogaziti kao blato na ulicama.
11 [In] the day that thy walls are to be built, [in] that day shall the decree be far removed.
U koje se vrijeme sazidaju zidovi tvoji, u to æe vrijeme otiæi zapovijest nadaleko;
12 [In] that day [also] he shall come even to thee 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.
U to æe vrijeme dolaziti k tebi od Asirske do tvrdijeh gradova, i od tvrdijeh gradova do rijeke, i od mora do mora, i od gore do gore.
13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell in it, for the fruit of their doings.
A zemlja æe biti pusta sa stanovnika svojih, za plod djela njihovijeh.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, who dwell solitarily [in] the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed [in] Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Pasi narod svoj s palicom svojom, stado našljedstva svojega, koje živi osamljeno u šumi, usred Karmila; neka pasu po Vasanu i po Galadu, kao u staro vrijeme.
15 According to the days of thy departure from the land of Egypt will I show to him marvelous [things].
Kao u vrijeme kad si izašao iz zemlje Misirske pokazaæu mu èudesa.
16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
Narodi æe vidjeti, i postidjeæe se od sve sile svoje; metnuæe ruku na usta, uši æe im zagluhnuti.
17 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 thee.
Lizaæe prah kao zmija; kao bubine zemaljske drkæuæi ižlješæe iz rupa svojih; pritrèaæe uplašeni ka Gospodu Bogu našemu, i tebe æe se bojati.
18 Who [is] a God like to thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth [in] mercy.
Ko je Bog kao ti? koji prašta bezakonje i prolazi prijestupe ostatku od našljedstva svojega, ne drži dovijeka gnjeva svojega, jer mu je mila milost.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Opet æe se smilovati na nas; pogaziæe naša bezakonja; baciæeš u dubine morske sve grijehe njihove.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
Pokazaæeš istinu Jakovu, milost Avramu, kako si se zakleo ocima našim u staro vrijeme.
