< Michas 3 >

1 Un es sacīju: “Klausāties jel, Jēkaba virsnieki un Israēla nama valdnieki: Vai jums nepiekrīt tiesu zināt?
And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and all of you princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Jūs ienīstat labu un mīļojat ļaunu, jūs tiem noplēšat ādu un gaļu no viņu kauliem.
Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off 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 also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
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 unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
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 says the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people go astray, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that puts not into their mouths, they even 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 unto you, that all of you shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that all of you shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
7 Un pareģi taps kaunā, un zīlnieki nosarks, un tiem visiem būs aptīt savu muti, jo Dieva atbildes nebūs.”
Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for 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 truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, 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, I pray you, all of you heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that detest judgment, and pervert all equity.
10 Un uztaisāt Ciānu ar asinīm un Jeruzālemi ar netaisnību.
They build up Zion 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.”
The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can 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 shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
