Micah 2
1 Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute 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 coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and houses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed 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 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I devise an evil against this family: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not walk haughtily, for this is a very evil 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 shall be taken up upon you, and a song shall be sung with melody by them that say: We are laid waste and spoiled: the portion of my people is changed: how shall he depart from me, whereas he is returning that will divide our land?
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 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the cord of a lot in the assembly of the Lord.
Por tanto no tendrás quien eche cordel para suerte en la congregación de Jehová.
6 Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall not take them.
No profeticéis, los que profetizáis, no les profeticen que los ha de comprender vergüenza.
7 The house of Jacob saith: Is the spirit of the Lord straitened, or are these his thoughts? Are not my words good to him that walketh 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 my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have taken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless you have turned to 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 cast out the women of my people from their houses, in which they took delight: you have taken my praise for ever from their children.
A las mujeres de mi pueblo echasteis fuera de las casas de sus deleites: a sus niños quitasteis mi perpetua alabanza.
10 Arise ye, and depart, for there is no rest here for you. For that uncleanness of the land, it shall be corrupted with a grievous corruption.
Levantáos, y andád: que no es esta la holganza; porque está contaminada, corrompióse, y de grande corrupción.
11 Would God I were not a man that hath the spirit, and that I rather spoke a lie: I will let drop to thee of wine, and of drunkenness: and it shall be this people upon whom it shall drop.
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 assemble and gather together all of thee, O Jacob: I will bring together the remnant of Israel, I will put them together as a flock in the fold, as the sheep in the midst of the sheepcotes, they shall make a tumult by reason of 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 shall go up that shall open the way before them: they shall divide, and pass through the gate, and shall come in by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord at the head of them.
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.
