Micah 2
1 Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Ve dem, som optænke Uret og forberede ondt paa deres Leje; naar det bliver lyst om Morgenen, udføre de det; thi det staar i deres Hænders Magt.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away; and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Og de have Begærlighed efter Agre og rane dem, efter Huse og tage dem; og de øve Vold imod Manden og hans Hus, imod ham og hans Arv.
3 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye walk haughtily: for it is an evil time.
Derfor, saa siger Herren: Se, jeg tænker ondt over denne Slægt, fra hvilket I ikke skulle kunne unddrage eders Hals, og ikke skulle I gaa stoltelig, thi det bliver en ond Tid.
4 In that day shall they take up a proverb concerning you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We are utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! He hath distributed our fields to the rebellious.
Paa denne Dag skal man istemme en Sang over eder, og man klager et Klagemaal; det er forbi, siger man, rent ødelagte ere vi, mit Folks Lod bortskifter han; hvorledes unddrager han mig den! til den frafaldne uddeler han vore Agre.
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the measuring line upon a lot, in the congregation of Jehovah.
Derfor skal du ingen have, som skal kaste Maalesnoren ud til Lod i Herrens Menighed.
6 Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to these, the ignominy will not depart.
„I maa ikke profetere‟, saa profetere de; profetere de ikke for disse, vilde Skændsel ikke vige.
7 O thou [that art] named the house of Jacob, Is Jehovah impatient? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
Og du, som er kaldet Jakobs Hus! mon Herren er hurtig til Vrede? eller mon dette er hans Gerninger? Mon ikke mine Ord gøre vel imod den, som vandrer oprigtigt?
8 But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip off the mantle with the garment from them that pass by securely, that are averse from war.
Men alt fra i Gaar rejser mit Folk sig som en Fjende; Kappen, der er over Kjortelen, trække I af dem, som gaa forbi i Tryghed, og som ere afvante fra Strid.
9 The women of my people do ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children do ye take away my magnificence for ever.
Mit Folks Kvinder uddrive I af Huset, som var deres Lyst; fra hendes spæde Børn tage I min Prydelse for bestandigt.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not the resting-place, because of defilement that bringeth destruction, even a grievous destruction.
Gører eder rede, og drager bort, thi dette er ikke Hvilestedet formedelst Urenhed, som bringer Fordærvelse, og det er en gruelig Fordærvelse.
11 If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie, [saying, ] I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink, he shall be the prophet of this people.
Hvis en Mand, der vandrede med Vind og Løgn, falskelig sagde: Jeg vil profetere for dig om at faa Vin og stærk Drik, saa vilde han være en Profet for dette Folk.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, the whole of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture: they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
Samle, ja, samle vil jeg dig, Jakob! saa mange du er, sanke, ja, sanke, det overblevne af Israel sammen, bringe dem til Hobe ligesom Bozras Faar; som en Hjord paa sin Græsgang skulle de buldre af Mennesker.
13 One that breaketh through is gone up before them: they have broken forth, and have passed on to the gate, and are gone out by it; and their king passeth on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
Der skal opstaa een, som bryder igennem i Spidsen for dem, de skulle bryde igennem og drage ind ad Porten og gaa ud ad den; og deres Konge skal drage frem i Spidsen for dem, og Herren er fremmest foran dem.
