Micah 7
1 I am very miserable/frustrated! I am like [SIM] someone who is hungry, [who searches for fruit to pick] after all the fruit had been picked and who finds no grapes or figs to eat.
Тешко мени! Јер сам као кад се обере летина, као кад се пабирчи после брања виноградског; нема грозда за јело, раног воћа жели душа моја.
2 [All] the godly people have disappeared from this land; there is not one of them left. [The people who are left] are all murderers [MTY]; [it is as though] everyone is eager to kill his fellow countryman.
Неста побожног са земље и нема правог међу људима, сви вребају крв, сваки лови брата свог мрежом.
3 They [all] use both hands to do what is evil. [Government] officials and judges [all] ask for bribes. Important people tell others what they want, and they plot/scheme together [about how to get it done].
Да чине зло обема рукама што више могу, иште кнез; и судија суди за плату, и ко је велик говори опачину душе своје, и сплећу је.
4 [Even] the best people are [as worthless] [SIM] as briers; the people [who are considered by others to be] [IRO] the most honest are worse than clumps of thornbushes. But, [Yahweh] will soon judge them; now is the time that he will punish people, a time when they will be [very] confused [because of being defeated].
Најбољи је између њих као трн, најправији је гори од трњака; дан стражара твојих, похођење твоје дође, сада ће се смести.
5 [So], do not trust anyone! Do not trust [even] a friend; [even] be careful what you say to your wife whom you love!
Не верујте пријатељу, не ослањајте се на вођу; од оне која ти на крилу лежи, чувај врата уста својих.
6 Boys will despise their fathers, and girls will defy their mothers. Women will defy their mothers-in-law. Your enemies will be those who live in your own houses.
Јер син грди оца, кћи устаје на матер своју, снаха на свекрву своју, непријатељи су човеку домаћи његови.
7 As for me, I wait for Yahweh [to help me]. I confidently expect that God, my Savior, will answer me [when I pray].
Али ја ћу Господа погледати, чекаћу Бога спасења свог; услишиће ме Бог мој.
8 You who are our enemies, do not gloat/rejoice about [what has happened to] us, [because even] if we have experienced disasters, [those disasters will end and] we will be restored. [Even] if [it is as though] we are sitting in the darkness, Yahweh will be our light.
Немој ми се радовати, непријатељице моја; ако падох, устаћу; ако седим у мраку, Господ ће ми бити видело.
9 We must be patient while Yahweh punishes us because we have sinned against him. But later, [it will be as though] he will go to court and defend us, and he will make sure that the judge makes a right decision about us. [It will be as though] he will bring us out into the light, and we will see it when he rescues us.
Подносићу гнев Господњи, јер Му згреших, док не расправи парбу моју и да ми правицу; извешће ме на видело, видећу правду Његову.
10 Our enemies will [also] see that, and they will be disgraced because they [ridiculed us], saying “Why is [RHQ] Yahweh, that God of yours, [not helping you]?” But with our own eyes we will see them when they are defeated; we will see them trampled like [SIM] mud in the streets.
Непријатељица ће моја видети, и срам ће је покрити, која ми говори: Где је Господ Бог твој? Очи ће је моје видети; сада ће се она погазити као блато на улицама.
11 [You people of Israel, ] at that time your cities will be rebuilt, and your territory will become larger.
У које се време сазидају зидови твоји, у то ће време отићи заповест надалеко;
12 [People from many countries will come to honor you]: people from Assyria and from [near] the [Euphrates] River [in the east] and from Egypt [in the south], from distant seas, and from many mountains.
У то ће време долазити к теби од асирске до тврдих градова, и од тврдих градова до реке, и од мора до мора, и од горе до горе.
13 But [the other countries on] the earth will become desolate because of the [evil] things that their people have done.
А земља ће бити пуста са становника својих, за плод дела њихових.
14 Yahweh, protect your people like [MET] [a shepherd protects his sheep] by using his walking stick; lead your people [MET] whom you have chosen to belong to you. [Even though some of them] live by themselves in a forest, give them the fertile pastureland in the Bashan and Gilead [regions] that they possessed long ago.
Паси народ свој с палицом својом, стадо наследства свог, које живи осамљено у шуми, усред Кармила; нека пасу по Васану и по Галаду, као у старо време.
15 [Yahweh says/replies], “[Yes], I will perform miracles for you like the miracles that I performed when I rescued your [ancestors] from [being slaves in] Egypt.”
Као у време кад си изашао из земље мисирске показаћу му чудеса.
16 [People from many] nations will see [what Yahweh does for you], and they will be ashamed because they do not have any power. They will put their hands over their mouths and their ears [because they will be very amazed because of what Yahweh does], [and they will not be able to say anything or hear anything].
Народи ће видети и постидеће се од све силе своје; метнуће руку на уста, уши ће им заглушити.
17 [Being very humiliated, ] they will crawl on the ground [MTY] like [SIM] snakes. They will come out of their homes trembling, and stand revering Yahweh our God. They will be very afraid of him, and will tremble in front of him.
Лизаће прах као змија; као бубине земаљске дрхћући излазиће из рупа својих; притрчаће уплашени ка Господу Богу нашем, и Тебе ће се бојати.
18 [Yahweh], there is no [RHQ] God like you; you forgive the sins [DOU] that were committed by the people who have survived, the people who belong to you. You do not remain angry forever; you are very happy [to show us] that you faithfully love [us].
Ко је Бог као Ти? Који прашта безакоње и пролази преступе остатку од наследства свог, не држи до века гнев свој, јер Му је мила милост.
19 You will again act kindly/compassionately toward us. You will get rid of [the scroll on which you have written] the sins that we have committed [as though you were] trampling it under your feet or throwing it into the deep ocean.
Опет ће се смиловати на нас; погазиће наша безакоња; бацићеш у дубине морске све грехе њихове.
20 You will show that you faithfully [do what you promised for us] and faithfully love us, just like you solemnly promised long ago to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob that you would do.
Показаћеш истину Јакову, милост Авраму, како си се заклео оцима нашим у старо време.
