Mikas bog 3 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Men jeg siger: »Hør dog, Jakobs ledere, stormænd i Israels hus! Var det ikke jer, der skulle kende retten? | 1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment? |
| 2 Men I hader det gode og elsker det onde; I flår huden af folk og kødet af deres knogler.« | 2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; |
| 3 De æder mit folks kød, river huden af dem, knækker deres knogler og lægger dem som kød i en gryde, som kødstykker i et kogekar. | 3 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 Så skriger de til Herren, men han svarer dem ikke. Da skjuler han sit ansigt for dem, fordi deres gerninger er onde. | 4 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 Dette siger Herren om profeterne, som vildleder mit folk: Når de får noget at tygge på, udråber de fred; men de udråber hellig krig mod den, der ikke giver dem noget i munden. | 5 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him. |
| 6 Derfor bliver jeres nat uden syner, mørket uden spådomme; solen går ned for profeterne, og dagen formørkes for dem. | 6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. |
| 7 Seerne bliver til skamme, spåmændene til spot; de må alle tilhylle deres ansigt, for der kommer intet svar fra Gud. | 7 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 Men jeg er fyldt med kraft ved Herrens ånd , med ret og med styrke, så jeg kan fortælle Jakob dets overtrædelse og Israel dets synd. | 8 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 Hør dog, ledere i Jakobs hus, stormænd i Israels hus, som afskyr, hvad der er ret, og fordrejer alt retskaffent, | 9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. |
| 10 som bygger Zion med blod og Jerusalem med uret. | 10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. |
| 11 Dens ledere dømmer for betaling, dens præster underviser for løn, dens profeter spår for penge, mens de støtter sig til Herren og siger: »Er Herren ikke hos os? Ulykken rammer ikke os!« | 11 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 Men på grund af jer skal Zion pløjes som en mark, Jerusalem skal blive til ruiner og tempe-bjerget til kratbevoksede høje | 12 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. |
