Michaeas 2
1 They meditated troubles, and wrought wickedness on their beds, and they put it in execution with the daylight; for they have not lifted up their hands to 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 desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even 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 says the Lord; Behold, I devise evils against this family, out of which you shall not lift up your necks, neither shall you walk upright speedily: for the time is evil.
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 shall a parable be taken up against you, and a plaintive lamentation shall be uttered, saying, We are thoroughly miserable: the portion of my people has been measured out with a line, and there was none to hinder him so as to turn him back; your fields have been divided.
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 you shall have no one to cast a line for the lot.
Por tanto no tendrás quien eche cordel para suerte en la congregación de Jehová.
6 Weep not with tears in the assembly of the Lord, neither let [any] weep for these things; for he shall not remove the reproaches,
No profeticéis, los que profetizáis, no les profeticen que los ha de comprender vergüenza.
7 who says, The house of Jacob has provoked the Spirit of the Lord; are not these his practices? Are not the Lord's words right with him? and have they not proceeded correctly?
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 Even beforetime my people withstood [him] as an enemy against his peace; they have stripped off his skin to remove hope [in] the conflict of 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 The leaders of my people shall be cast forth from their luxurious houses; they are rejected because of their evil practices; draw you near to the everlasting mountains.
A las mujeres de mi pueblo echasteis fuera de las casas de sus deleites: a sus niños quitasteis mi perpetua alabanza.
10 Arise you, and depart; for this is not your rest because of uncleanness: you have been utterly destroyed;
Levantáos, y andád: que no es esta la holganza; porque está contaminada, corrompióse, y de grande corrupción.
11 you have fled, no one pursuing [you: your] spirit has framed falsehood, it has dropped on you for wine and strong drink. But it shall come to pass, [that] out of the dropping of this people,
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 Jacob shall be completely gathered with all [his people: ] I will surely receive the remnant of Israel; I will cause them to return together, as sheep in trouble, as a flock in the midst of their fold: they shall rush forth from amongst men through the breach made before them:
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 they have broken through, and passed the gate, and gone out by it: and their king has gone out before them, and the Lord shall lead 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.
