Mika 2

¹Yataklarında zahmetler tasarlayıp kötülükler kuranlar oldu; gün ağarınca bunu yerine getirdiler, çünkü ellerini Tanrı'ya kaldırmadılar.

²Tarlaları arzuladılar ve yetimleri yağmaladılar, evlere zorbalık ettiler; bir adamı ve evini, bir adamı ve mirasını gasp ettiler.

³Bu yüzden Rab şöyle diyor: "İşte, bu soya karşı öyle kötülükler tasarlıyorum ki, boyunlarınızı onun altından kaldıramayacaksınız ve ansızın dik yürüyemeyeceksiniz; çünkü bu kötü bir zamandır."

⁴O gün üzerinize alaycı bir mesel söylenecek ve ezgili bir ağıt yakılarak şöyle denilecek: "Büyük bir yıkımla tamamen mahvolduk! Halkımın payı ölçü ipiyle ölçüldü ve onu geri döndürmeye engel olacak kimse yoktu; tarlalarınız paylaşıldı."

⁵Bu yüzden, Rab'bin topluluğunda kura ile ölçü ipi atacak kimsen olmayacak.

⁶Gözyaşlarıyla ağlamayın, bunlar için de ağlamasınlar; çünkü o utançları uzaklaştırmayacaktır.

⁷Şöyle diyen: "Yakup soyu Rab'bin Ruhunu öfkelendirdi." O'nun işleri bunlar mıdır? O'nun sözleri kendisiyle birlikte olan için iyi değil midir ve onlar dürüstçe yürümediler mi?

⁸Oysa halkım geçmişte bir düşman gibi karşı durdu; barışının karşısında, savaşın yıkım ümidini yok etmek için derisini yüzdüler.

⁹Bu yüzden halkımın önderleri kendi lüks evlerinden dışarı atılacaklar; kendi kötü işleri yüzünden kovuldular. Sonsuz dağlara yaklaşın!

¹⁰Kalk ve git! Çünkü kirlilik yüzünden burası senin için bir dinlenme yeri değildir. Büyük bir yıkımla mahvedildiniz;

¹¹kovalayan kimse yokken kovalandınız; bir ruh yalanı kurdu, sana şarap ve sarhoş edici içki damlattı. Ve bu halkın damlasından olacak.

¹²Yakup, herkesle birlikte kesinlikle toplanacak; İsrail'in artakalanını kesinlikle kabul edeceğim, onun geri dönüşünü bir araya getireceğim; sıkıntıdaki koyunlar gibi, ağıllarının ortasındaki bir sürü gibi, insanların arasından fırlayıp kaçacaklar.

¹³Önlerindeki yarığın içinden yarıp geçtiler, kapıdan geçip oradan çıktılar; kralları önlerinden çıktı, Rab ise onlara liderlik edecek.

¹ΕΓΕΝΟΝΤΟ λογιζόμενοι κόπους καὶ ἐργαζόμενοι κακὰ ἐν ταῖς κοίταις αὐτῶν καὶ ἅμα τῇ ἡμέρᾳ συνετέλουν αὐτά, διότι οὐκ ᾖραν πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν χεῖρας αὐτῶν.

²καὶ ἐπεθύμουν ἀγροὺς καὶ διήρπαζον ὀρφανοὺς καὶ οἴκους κατεδυνάστευον καὶ διήρπαζον ἄνδρα καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, ἄνδρα καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ.

³διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ λογίζομαι ἐπὶ τὴν φυλὴν ταύτην κακά, ἐξ ὧν οὐ μὴ ἄρητε τοὺς τραχήλους ὑμῶν καὶ οὐ μὴ πορευθῆτε ὀρθοὶ ἐξαίφνης, ὅτι καιρὸς πονηρός ἐστιν.

⁴ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ληφθήσεται ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς παραβολή, καὶ θρηνηθήσεται θρῆνος ἐν μέλει λέγων· ταλαιπωρίᾳ ἐταλαιπωρήσαμεν· μερὶς λαοῦ μου κατεμετρήθη ἐν σχοινίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ κωλύων αὐτὸν τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι· οἱ ἀγροὶ ὑμῶν διεμερίσθησαν.

⁵διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔσται σοι βάλλων σχοινίον ἐν κλήρῳ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ Κυρίου.

⁶μὴ κλαίετε δάκρυσι, μηδὲ δακρυέτωσαν ἐπὶ τούτοις· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀπώσεται ὀνείδη.

⁷ὁ λέγων· οἶκος ᾿Ιακὼβ παρώργισε πνεῦμα Κυρίου· οὐ ταῦτα τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ ἐστιν; οὐχ οἱ λόγοι αὐτοῦ εἰσι καλοὶ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὀρθοὶ πεπόρευνται;

⁸καὶ ἔμπροσθεν ὁ λαός μου εἰς ἔχθραν ἀντέστη· κατέναντι τῆς εἰρήνης αὐτοῦ τὴν δορὰν αὐτοῦ ἐξέδειραν τοῦ ἀφελέσθαι ἐλπίδα συντριμμὸν πολέμου.

⁹διὰ τοῦτο ἡγούμενοι λαοῦ μου ἀπορριφήσονται ἐκ τῶν οἰκιῶν τρυφῆς αὐτῶν, διὰ τὰ πονηρὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτῶν ἐξώσθησαν· ἐγγίσατε ὄρεσιν αἰωνίοις.

¹⁰ἀνάστηθι καὶ πορεύου, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι σοι αὕτη ἀνάπαυσις ἕνεκεν ἀκαθαρσίας. διεφθάρητε φθορᾷ,

¹¹κατεδιώχθητε οὐδενὸς διώκοντος· πνεῦμα ἔστησε ψεῦδος, ἐστάλαξέ σοι εἰς οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα. καὶ ἔσται ἐκ τῆς σταγόνος τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου.

¹²συναγόμενος συναχθήσεται ᾿Ιακὼβ σὺν πᾶσιν· ἐκδεχόμενος ἐκδέξομαι τοὺς καταλοίπους τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ θήσομαι τὴν ἀποστροφὴν αὐτοῦ· ὡς πρόβατα ἐν θλίψει, ὡς ποίμνιον ἐν μέσῳ κοίτης αὐτῶν ἐξαλοῦνται ἐξ ἀνθρώπων·

¹³διά τῆς διακοπῆς πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν διέκοψαν καὶ διῆλθον πύλην καὶ ἐξῆλθον δι᾿ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς αὐτῶν πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, ὁ δὲ Κύριος ἡγήσεται αὐτῶν.

¹They 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.

²And they desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even a man and his inheritance.

³Therefore 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.

⁴In 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.

⁵Therefore thou shalt have no one to cast a line for the lot.

⁶Weep not with tears in the assembly of the Lord, neither let [any] weep for these things; for he shall not remove the reproaches,

⁷who 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?

⁸Even 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.

⁹The 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.

¹⁰Arise thou, and depart; for this is not thy rest because of uncleanness: ye have been utterly destroyed;

¹¹ye 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,

¹²Jacob 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:

¹³they 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.
