Micah 2
1 A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power.
¡Ay de los que maquinan iniquidad y en sus lechos preparan el mal! A la luz del día lo ponen por obra, porque tienen el poder en su mano.
2 They have a desire for fields and take them by force; and for houses and take them away: they are cruel to a man and his family, even to a man and his heritage.
Codician campos y los roban, también casas, y se apoderan de ellas; oprimen al dueño y su casa, al propietario y su heredad.
3 For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.
Por eso, dice Yahvé: He aquí que tengo preparado contra esta raza un mal, del cual no podréis librar vuestras cervices; y no andaréis ya erguidos, porque será tiempo calamitoso.
4 In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.
En aquel día se dirá sobre vosotros un proverbio, y se entonará una lamentación. Dirán: “Somos completamente asolados; (Dios) entrega a otros la herencia de mi pueblo. ¡Cómo me la quita a mí y reparte nuestros campos a los infieles!”
5 For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.
Por eso ya no tendrás quien echando la cuerda (reparta) posesiones en la congregación de Yahvé.
6 Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!
“¡No profeticéis!”, así dicen ellos. Pero si no se les profetiza, no se apartará (de ellos) el oprobio.
7 Is the Lord quickly made angry? are these his doings? do not his words do good to his people Israel?
Dice la casa de Jacob: “¿Se ha disminuido el espíritu de Yahvé? ¿Son estas sus obras?” ¿Acaso mis palabras no son buenas para los que andan por el recto camino?
8 As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war.
Hace tiempo que el pueblo mío se ha levantado (contra Mí) como enemigo; después de la ropa robáis el manto; hacéis la guerra a los que van pasando confiados.
9 The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever.
A las mujeres de mi pueblo las arrojáis de sus queridas casas, y a sus pequeñuelos les quitáis mi loor para siempre.
10 Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.
Levantaos y marchad, pues no es este el lugar de vuestro descanso; porque es inmundo, será devastado con terrible tormento.
11 If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.
Si uno anda tras el viento y tras la mentira, (diciendo): “Yo te profetizo vino y bebida embriagante”, este es el profeta de este pueblo.
12 I will certainly make all of you, O Jacob, come together; I will get together the rest of Israel; I will put them together like the sheep in their circle: like a flock in their green field; they will be full of the noise of men.
Yo te juntaré todo entero, oh Jacob; recogeré los restos de Israel, los pondré juntos como ovejas en un aprisco, cual hato en medio del pastizal, y habrá un ruido grande por (la multitud) de gente.
13 The opener of the way will go up before them: forcing their way out they will go on to the doorway and out through it: their king will go on before them, and the Lord at their head.
Va delante de ellos aquel que les abre camino; irrumpen y fuerzan la puerta, y salen por ella; y delante de ellos marcha su rey, y Yahvé a su frente.
