Mihej 2
1 Teško onima koji smišljaju nedjelo i snuju zlo na posteljama svojim! Kad svane dan, oni ga izvrše, jer je sila u njihovoj ruci.
Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plan on their beds to do evil. In the morning light they do it because they have power.
2 Zažele li polja, otimaju ih, i kuće, uzimaju ih; čine nasilje čovjeku i kući njegovoj, vlasniku i posjedu njegovu.
They desire fields and seize them; they desire houses and take them. They oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
3 Zato ovako govori Jahve: “Evo tome rodu smišljam zlo iz kojega nećete izvući vratova, niti ćete hoditi ponosito, jer će biti zlo vrijeme.
Therefore Yahweh says this, “Look, I am about to bring disaster against this clan, from which you will not remove your necks. You will not walk arrogantly, for it will be an evil time.
4 U onaj će vam se dan složiti rugalica, zapjevati tužaljka i reći: 'Propalo je! Posve smo opustošeni, baština je naroda moga otuđena i nitko da mu je vrati, naša polja podijeljena su odmetniku.'
In that day men will sing a song about you, and lament with a wailing lamentation. They will sing, 'We Israelites are completely ruined; Yahweh changes the territory of my people. How can he remove it from me? He portions out our fields to traitors!'”
5 Zato neće biti nikoga tko bi bacio kocku za dio tvoj u zboru Jahvinu.”
Therefore, you rich people will have no descendants to divide up the territory by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
6 “Ne balite!” - bale oni - “Tako se ne bali! Sramota na nas neće pasti!
“Do not prophesy,” they say. “They must not prophesy these things; reproaches must not come.”
7 Zar će biti proklet dom Jakovljev? Zar je Jahve izgubio strpljivost? Zar on tako postupa? Nisu li riječi njegove ugodne Izraelu, narodu njegovu?”
Should it really be said, house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these really his deeds?” Do not my words do good to anyone who walks uprightly?
8 Vi se sami dižete kao neprijatelji narodu mojemu. Čovjeku nezazornu vi otimate kabanicu, onome koji bez straha putuje ratne strahote dosuđujete.
Lately my people have risen up like an enemy. You strip the robe, the garment, from those who pass by unsuspectingly, as soldiers return from war to what they think is safety.
9 Vi izgonite žene moga naroda iz njihovih milih domova; djeci njihovoj zauvijek oduzimate slavu koju sam im dao:
You drive the women belonging to my people from their pleasant houses; you take my blessing from their young children forever.
10 “Ustanite, idite! Ovo nije počivalište! Zbog nečistoće teško vas uže svezalo.”
Get up and leave, for this is not a place where you can stay, because of its uncleanness; it is destroyed with complete destruction.
11 Kad bi mogao biti nadahnut čovjek koji izmišlja ovu opsjenu: “Prorokujem ti vino i piće”, on bi bio prorok narodu ovome.
If someone comes to you in a spirit of falsehood and lies and says, “I will prophesy to you about wine and strong drink,” he would be considered to be a prophet for this people.
12 Svega ću te sabrati, Jakove, sakupit ću Ostatak Izraelov! Smjestit ću ih zajedno kao ovce u toru, kao stado na paši - neće se bojati nikoga.
I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in the midst of their pasture. There will be a loud noise because of the multitude of people.
13 Pred njima stupa rušilac: oni će se porušiti i ući, kroz vrata će proći i izaći; pred njima će ići njihov kralj, Jahve će biti na čelu.
Someone who breaks open their way for them will go ahead of them. They break through the gate and go out; their king will pass on before them. Yahweh will be at their head.
