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.
Ve dem, der på Lejet udtænker Uret og Udåd, og sætter det i Værk, når det dages, da det står i deres Magt.
2 They seize any fields they want. They take any houses they want. They cheat people of their houses, and steal their inheritance.
De attrår Marker og raner dem, Huse og tager dem, undertrykker Mand og Hus, Ejendom og Ejer.
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.
Derfor, så siger HERREN: Se, jeg optænker Ulykke mod denne Slægt, fra hvilken l ikke skal kunne fri eders Hals eller gå med oprejst Hoved; thi en ond Tid er det.
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.”
På denne Dag skal der bruges et Mundheld om jer og klages: "Sket som talt! Vi er helt lagt øde; mit Folk får sin Lod skiftet ud, ingen giver den tilbage; vor Mark skiftes ud til dem, som fører os bort."
5 Consequently at that time there will be none of you in the assembly of the Lord responsible for the division of the land.
Derfor har du ingen til at udspænde Snoren over en Lod i HERRENs Forsamling.
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!”
"Præk ikke!" så præker de, "man præker ikke om sligt; får hans Smæden ej Ende?" Hvad siger du, Jakobs Hus?
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.
"Er HERREN da hastig til Vrede, handler han så? Er hans Ord ej milde mod den, som vandrer ret?"
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.
Men I er fjendske imod, på Nakken af mit Folk; Kappen over Kjortelen river l af dem, som vandrer trygt og afskyr Strid.
9 You drive the women of my people from their comfortable homes; you have robbed their children of my blessings forever.
Mit Folks Kvinder driver l ud af det Hjem, de holdt af, I tager for evigt min Ære fra deres Børn:
10 Get up! Leave! For this is not a place for you to stay. It is defiled and totally ruined.
"Op, ryk ud! Thi her kan I ikke bo for den Urenheds Skyld, som volder svar Fordærv."
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.
I Fald der kom en Mand med Tomhed og Svig og Løgn: "Jeg vil præke for dig om Vin og Drik!" det var en Præker for dette Folk.
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.
Jeg vil samle dig, hele Jakob, opsanke Israels Rest, få dem sammen som Får i Fold, som en Hjord i Græsgangens Midte; af Mennesker bliver der en Summen.
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.
En Vejbryder går foran dem; de bryder gennem Porten og går ud. Foran dem skrider deres Konge og HERREN i Spidsen for dem.
