Книга пророка Михея 2
1 Быша помышляюще труды и делающе злая на ложах своих, и купно со днем совершаху тая, понеже не воздвигоша к Богу рук своих:
They meditated troubles, and wrought wickedness on their beds, and they put it in execution with the daylight; for they have not lifted up their hands to God.
2 и желаху сел, и грабляху сирот, и домы отимаху, и расхищаху мужа и дом его, и мужа и наследие его.
And they desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even a man and his inheritance.
3 Сего ради сия глаголет Господь: се, Аз помышляю на племя сие злая, от нихже не подвигнете вый ваших и не пойдете прости внезапу, яко время зло есть.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I devise evils against this family, out of which ye shall not lift up your necks, neither shall ye walk upright speedily: for the time is evil.
4 В той день приимется на вы притча, и восплачется плачь с песнию, глаголющь: бедство пострадахом: часть людий моих измерися ужем, и не бе возбраняяй его, еже отвратитися: села ваша разделена быша.
In that day shall a parable be taken up against you, and a plaintive lamentation shall be uttered, saying, We are thoroughly miserable: the portion of my people has been measured out with a line, and there was none to hinder him so as to turn him back; your fields have been divided.
5 Сего ради не будет тебе вмещущь ужа в жребии в сонме Господни.
Therefore thou shalt have no one to cast a line for the lot.
6 Не плачитеся слезами, ниже да слезят о сих: не отвержет бо укоризны
Weep not with tears in the assembly of the Lord, neither let [any] weep for these things; for he shall not remove the reproaches,
7 глаголяй: дом Иаковль разгнева Дух Господень: не сия ли суть начинания Его? Не словеса ли Его суть добра с ним, и правии ходиша?
who says, The house of Jacob has provoked the Spirit of the Lord; are not these his practices? Are not the Lord's words right with him? and have they not proceeded correctly?
8 И прежде людие Мои во вражду сопротивишася, противу миру своему: кожу его одраша, еже отяти упование, сокрушение ратное:
Even beforetime my people withstood [him] as an enemy against his peace; they have stripped off his skin to remove hope [in] the conflict of war.
9 сего ради старейшины людий Моих извергутся из домов сладости своея, злых ради начинаний своих отриновени быша. Приближитеся горам вечным:
The leaders of my people shall be cast forth from their luxurious houses; they are rejected because of their evil practices; draw ye near to the everlasting mountains.
10 востани и пойди, яко несть тебе сей покой: нечистоты ради, истлесте тлением,
Arise thou, and depart; for this is not thy rest because of uncleanness: ye have been utterly destroyed;
11 прогнастеся ни кимже гоними: дух постави лжу, искапа тебе в вино и пиянство: и будет, от капли людий сих,
ye have fled, no one pursuing [you: thy] spirit has framed falsehood, it has dropped on thee for wine and strong drink. But it shall come to pass, [that] out of the dropping of this people,
12 собираемь соберется Иаков со всеми: приемяй прииму оставших Израилевых, вкупе положу возвращение его, аки овцы в скорби, яко паству посреде ложа их: изскочат от человек.
Jacob shall be completely gathered with all [his people: ] I will surely receive the remnant of Israel; I will cause them to return together, as sheep in trouble, as a flock in the midst of their fold: they shall rush forth from among men through the breach made before them:
13 Взыди просечением пред лицем их: просекоша, и проидоша врата, и изыдоша ими. И изыде царь их пред лицем их, Господь же Вождь их будет.
they have broken through, and passed the gate, and gone out by it: and their king has gone out before them, and the Lord shall lead them.
