< Micah 2 >

1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Teško onima koji smišljaju bezakonje i o zlu se trude na posteljama svojim, i kad svane izvršuju, jer im je sila u ruci.
2 They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Žele njive, i otimaju ih; žele kuæe, i uzimaju; èine silu èovjeku i kuæi njegovoj, èovjeku i našljedstvu njegovu.
3 Therefore Yahweh says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
Zato ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja mislim zlo tome rodu, iz kojega neæete izvuæi vratova svojih, niti æete hoditi ponosito, jer æe biti zlo vrijeme.
4 In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
U ono vrijeme govoriæe se prièa o vama, i naricaæe se žalosno govoreæi: propadosmo; promijeni dio naroda mojega; kako mi uze! uzevši njive naše razdijeli.
5 Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in Yahweh’s assembly.
Zato neæeš imati nikoga ko bi ti povukao uže za ždrijeb u zboru Gospodnjem.
6 “Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
Nemojte prorokovati, neka oni prorokuju; ako im ne prorokuju, neæe otstupiti sramota.
7 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
O ti, koji se zoveš dom Jakovljev, je li se umalio duh Gospodnji? jesu li to djela njegova? eda li moje rijeèi nijesu dobre onome koji hodi pravo?
8 But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
A narod se moj prije podiže kao neprijatelj; preko haljine skidate plašt s onijeh koji prolaze ne bojeæi se, koji se vraæaju iz boja.
9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
Žene naroda mojega izgonite iz milijeh kuæa njihovijeh, od djece njihove otimate slavu moju navijek.
10 Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
Ustanite i idite, jer ovo nije poèivalište; što se oskvrni, pogubiæe vas pogiblju velikom.
11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
Ako ko hodi za vjetrom i kazuje laži govoreæi: prorokovaæu ti za vino i za silovito piæe; taj æe biti prorok ovome narodu.
12 I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
Doista æu te sabrati svega, Jakove, doista æu skupiti ostatak Izrailjev; postaviæu ih zajedno kao ovce Vosorske, kao stado usred tora njihova, biæe vreva od ljudstva.
13 He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.
Pred njima æe iæi koji razbija; oni æe razbiti i proæi kroz vrata, i izaæi æe; i car æe njihov iæi pred njima, i Gospod æe biti pred njima.
