Micah 2
1 How disastrous it will be for those who devise evil plans as they lie awake at night. They get up in the morning to carry them out, because they have the power to do just that.
Ay de los que traman la iniquidad ¡y trabajar el mal en sus camas! Cuando amanece, lo practican, porque está en el poder de su mano.
2 They seize any fields they want. They take any houses they want. They cheat people of their houses, and steal their inheritance.
Codician los campos y se apoderan de ellos, y casas, y luego se los llevan. Oprimen a un hombre y a su casa, incluso un hombre y su herencia.
3 So this is what the Lord says. Watch out! I am planning to bring disaster on such families. They won't be able to escape. You will no longer walk around arrogantly, for this will be a time of disaster.
Por eso dice Yahvé: “He aquí que estoy planeando contra esta gente un desastre, de la que no se quitará el cuello, ni tampoco caminarás con altivez, porque es un tiempo malo.
4 On that day they will make up a saying to taunt you. With a mocking lament they will say, “We are totally ruined! Our possessions are being sold off. They've taken everything away, and given our fields to your conquerors.”
En ese día se levantará una parábola contra ti, y se lamentan con un lamento lúgubre, diciendo, ‘¡Estamos totalmente arruinados! La posesión de mi pueblo está dividida. En efecto, ¡me lo quita y asigna nuestros campos a los traidores!”
5 Consequently at that time there will be none of you in the assembly of the Lord responsible for the division of the land.
Por lo tanto, no tendrás a nadie que reparta la tierra por sorteo en la asamblea de Yahvé.
6 But you preach at me, saying, “Don't preach such things. Don't prophesy like this. Such a humiliation won't happen to us!”
“¡No profetices!” — profetizan. “No profetices sobre estas cosas. La desgracia no nos alcanzará”.
7 Should you talk like that, descendants of Jacob? You ask, “Can the Lord run out of patience? Is this what he does?” Are not my words good to those who do what is right? asks the Lord.
Se dirá, oh casa de Jacob, “¿Está enojado el Espíritu de Yahvé? ¿Son estas sus acciones? ¿No hacen bien mis palabras al que camina sin culpa?”
8 Lately my people have risen up against me like an enemy. You steal the coats off the backs of those passing by, men returning from war who expect to be safe in their homeland.
Pero últimamente mi pueblo se ha levantado como un enemigo. Despojas de la túnica y la ropa a los que pasan sin miramientos, volviendo de la batalla.
9 You drive the women of my people from their comfortable homes; you have robbed their children of my blessings forever.
Expulsas a las mujeres de mi pueblo de sus casas agradables; de sus hijos pequeños les quitas mi bendición para siempre.
10 Get up! Leave! For this is not a place for you to stay. It is defiled and totally ruined.
¡Levántate y vete! Porque este no es tu lugar de descanso, a causa de la impureza que destruye, incluso con una grave destrucción.
11 If a false prophet should come to you and lie, saying, “I'll preach to you about the virtues of wine and alcohol,” he would be the perfect prophet for your kind of people.
Si un hombre que camina con espíritu de falsedad miente, diciendo, “Te profetizaré sobre el vino y la bebida fuerte,” sería el profeta de este pueblo.
12 I will certainly gather all of you, descendants of Jacob, I will certainly bring back together those who are left, Israel. I will place them like sheep in the fold, like a flock in its pasture. The land will be filled with people celebrating.
Seguramente os reuniré a todos, Jacob. Seguramente reuniré el remanente de Israel. Los pondré juntos como las ovejas de Bozra, como un rebaño en medio de sus pastos. Se llenarán de gente.
13 The One who opens the way for them will lead them, breaking through the gate and going out. Their King will lead them; the Lord himself will be at their head.
El que abre el camino sube delante de ellos. Rompen la puerta y salen. Su rey pasa delante de ellos, con Yahvé a la cabeza.
