Michas 3
1 Un es sacīju: “Klausāties jel, Jēkaba virsnieki un Israēla nama valdnieki: Vai jums nepiekrīt tiesu zināt?
And I said: Hear, O ye princes of Jacob, and ye chiefs of the house of Israel: Is it not your part to know judgment,
2 Jūs ienīstat labu un mīļojat ļaunu, jūs tiem noplēšat ādu un gaļu no viņu kauliem.
You that hate good, and love evil: that violently pluck off their skins from them, and their flesh from their bones?
3 Tiešām tie ir, kas ēd Manu ļaužu gaļu un tiem nodīrā ādu un satriec viņu kaulus un pa gabaliem saliek tā kā podā un kā gaļu katlā.”
Who have eaten the flesh of my people, and have flayed their skin from off them: and have broken, and chopped their bones as for the kettle, and as flesh in the midst of the pot.
4 Tad tie brēks uz To Kungu, bet Viņš tos nepaklausīs, Viņš tanī laikā Savu vaigu no viņiem apslēps, tā kā viņu darbi bijuši ļauni.
Then shall they cry to the Lord, and he will not hear them: and he will hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved wickedly in their devices.
5 Tā saka Tas Kungs pret tiem praviešiem, kas Manus ļaudis maldina, kas izsauc mieru, kad viņu zobiem ir ko kost; bet kas viņiem nekā nedod mutē, pret to viņi sludina karu:
Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err: that bite with their teeth, and preach peace: and if a man give not something into their mouth, they prepare war against him.
6 “Nakts pār jums metīsies parādīšanu vietā, un tumsa būs pār jums zīlēšanas vietā, un saule noies pār šiem praviešiem, un diena taps melna pār viņiem.
Therefore night shall be to you instead of vision, and darkness to you instead of divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be darkened over them.
7 Un pareģi taps kaunā, un zīlnieki nosarks, un tiem visiem būs aptīt savu muti, jo Dieva atbildes nebūs.”
And they shall be confounded that see visions, and the diviners shall be confounded: and they shall all cover their faces, because there is no answer of God.
8 Bet es esmu pilns spēka no Tā Kunga Gara un pilns tiesas un sirds drošības, pasludināt Jēkabam viņa pārkāpumu un Israēlim viņa grēkus.
But yet I am filled with the strength of the spirit of the Lord, with judgment, and power: to declare unto Jacob his wickedness, and to Israel his sin.
9 Klausiet jel šo, Jēkaba nama virsnieki un Israēla nama valdnieki, kam taisnība ir riebīga un kas pārgrozāt visu patiesību,
Hear this, ye princes of the house of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel: you that abhor judgment, and pervert all that is right.
10 Un uztaisāt Ciānu ar asinīm un Jeruzālemi ar netaisnību.
You that build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 Viņas virsnieki tiesā par dāvanām, un viņas priesteri māca par algu, un viņas pravieši zīlē par naudu, tomēr tie paļaujas uz To Kungu un saka: “Vai Tas Kungs nav mūsu vidū? Mums ļaunums neuzies.”
Her princes have judged for bribes, and her priests have taught for hire, and her prophets divined for money: and they leaned upon the Lord, saying: Is not the Lord in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
12 Tāpēc jūsu dēļ Ciāna taps arta kā tīrums, un Jeruzāleme paliks par akmeņu kopu un šī nama kalns par meža kalnu.
Therefore, because of you, Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a heap of stones, and the mountain of the temple as the high places of the forests.
