Micah 2
1 Woe to you who devise useless things and who work evil in your beds. In the morning light, they undertake it, because their hand is against God.
¡Ay de los que piensan iniquidad, y de los que fabrican el mal en sus camas! y cuando viene la mañana lo ponen en obra, porque tienen en su mano el poder.
2 And they have desired fields and have taken them by violence, and they have stolen houses. And they have made false accusations against a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
Y codiciaron las heredades, y las robaron: y casas, y las tomaron: oprimieron al hombre y a su casa, al hombre y a su heredad.
3 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I devise an evil against this family, from which you will not steal away your necks. And you will not walk in arrogance, because this is a most wicked time.
Por tanto así dijo Jehová: He aquí que yo pienso mal sobre esta familia, del cual no sacaréis vuestros cuellos, ni andaréis enhiestos, porque el tiempo será malo.
4 In that day, a parable will be taken up about you, and a song will be sung with sweetness, saying: “We have been devastated by depopulation.” The fate of my people has been altered. How can he withdraw from me, when he might be turned back, he who might tear apart our country?
En aquel tiempo se levantará sobre vosotros refrán, y se endechará endecha de lamentación, diciendo: Del todo fuimos destruidos: trocó la parte de mi pueblo: ¡cómo nos quitó nuestros campos! dio, los repartió a otros.
5 Because of this, there will be for you no casting of the cord of fate in the assembly of the Lord.
Por tanto no tendrás quien eche cordel para suerte en la congregación de Jehová.
6 Do not speak by saying, “It will not drop on these ones; shame will not embrace them.”
No profeticéis, los que profetizáis, no les profeticen que los ha de comprender vergüenza.
7 The house of Jacob says, “Has the Spirit of the Lord been weakened, or are such things his thoughts?” Are not my words good for him who walks uprightly?
La que te dices, casa de Jacob: ¿Háse acortado el Espíritu de Jehová? ¿son estas sus obras? ¿Mis palabras no hacen bien al que camina derechamente?
8 But, to the contrary, my people have risen up in opposition. You have lifted the cover from the undergarment, and those who passed by harmlessly, you have converted into war.
El que ayer era mi pueblo se ha levantado como enemigo tras la vestidura: quitasteis las capas atrevidamente a los que pasaban, como los que vuelven de la guerra.
9 You have evicted the women among my people from their delicate houses. You have taken my praise forever from their little ones.
A las mujeres de mi pueblo echasteis fuera de las casas de sus deleites: a sus niños quitasteis mi perpetua alabanza.
10 Rise and depart, for there is no relief for you here. Because of its uncleanness, it will be corrupted with a most wicked decay.
Levantáos, y andád: que no es esta la holganza; porque está contaminada, corrompióse, y de grande corrupción.
11 I wish that I were not a man who has breath, and that I rather spoke a lie. I will drop it down to you in wine and in drunkenness. And it will be this people on whom it will rain down.
Si hubiere alguno que ande con el viento, y mienta mentiras, diciendo: Yo te profetizaré, por vino, y por sidra: este tal será profeta a este pueblo.
12 I will gather together in a congregation all of you, Jacob. I will lead together as one, the remnant of Israel. I will set them together like a flock in the fold, like a sheep in the midst of the sheep pen. They will cause a tumult before the multitude of men.
Juntando te juntaré todo, o! Jacob: recogiendo recogeré la resta de Israel: ponerle he junto como ovejas de Bosra, como rebaño en mitad de su majada: harán estruendo por la multitud de los hombres.
13 For he will ascend, opening the way before them. They will separate, and they will cross the gate and enter through it. And their king will pass by, before their very eyes, and the Lord will be at their head.
Subirá rompedor delante de ellos: romperán, y pasarán la puerta, y saldrán por ella; y su rey pasará delante de ellos, Jehová por su cabeza.
