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 planean maldades y traman iniquidad en sus camas! ¡Cuando llega la mañana las ejecutan con el poder que tienen en su mano!
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.
Codician campos y los roban. Codician casas y se las llevan. Roban al hombre, su familia y 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, Yavé dice: Ahora ciertamente Yo traigo una calamidad contra esta familia de la cual ustedes no podrán apartar sus cuellos, ni andar con arrogancia. Porque será un tiempo de calamidad.
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?
Aquel día se levantará una mofa contra ustedes, un amargo lamento y dirán: ¡Somos completamente destruidos! Él cambió la heredad de mi pueblo. ¡Cómo me la quitó! A los infieles distribuyó mis campos.
5 Because of this, there will be for you no casting of the cord of fate in the assembly of the Lord.
Por tanto, ya no habrá en la congregación de Yavé quien eche la cuerda para medir una posesión.
6 Do not speak by saying, “It will not drop on these ones; shame will not embrace them.”
Dicen a los que profetizan: ¡No profeticen! Así la afrenta no nos alcanzará.
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?
Se dice, oh casa de Jacob: ¿El Espíritu de Yavé está impaciente? ¿Son éstas sus obras? ¿Mis palabras no hacen bien al que anda rectamente?
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.
Recientemente mi pueblo se alzó como un enemigo. Hoy despojan del manto y la ropa al que transita confiado, a los que regresaron 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.
Echan a las mujeres de mi pueblo fuera del calor de sus hogares y despojan de mi gloria a sus hijos para siempre.
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.
Levántense y caminen, porque éste no es lugar de reposo, pues está contaminado a causa de la impureza que trae una penosa destrucción.
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 viene un hombre con espíritu de falsedad, miente y dice: Profetizo que tendrán vino y mosto fermentado de manzana, ¡Ése será el profeta de 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.
¡Ciertamente reuniré a todos, oh Jacob! Ciertamente congregaré al remanente de Israel. Los reuniré como ovejas en el redil, como un rebaño en medio del pastizal. Harán mucho ruido por causa de la multitud de gente.
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.
El que abre caminos va delante de ellos, irrumpen, pasan por la puerta y salen. Su rey va delante de ellos, y a la cabeza está Yavé.
