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.
¡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 They seize any fields they want. They take any houses they want. They cheat people of their houses, and steal their inheritance.
Codician campos y los roban. Codician casas y se las llevan. Roban al hombre, su familia y su heredad.
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.
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 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.”
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 Consequently at that time there will be none of you in the assembly of the Lord responsible for the division of the land.
Por tanto, ya no habrá en la congregación de Yavé quien eche la cuerda para medir una posesión.
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!”
Dicen a los que profetizan: ¡No profeticen! Así la afrenta no nos alcanzará.
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.
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 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.
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 drive the women of my people from their comfortable homes; you have robbed their children of my blessings forever.
Echan a las mujeres de mi pueblo fuera del calor de sus hogares y despojan de mi gloria a sus hijos para siempre.
10 Get up! Leave! For this is not a place for you to stay. It is defiled and totally ruined.
Levántense y caminen, porque éste no es lugar de reposo, pues está contaminado a causa de la impureza que trae una penosa destrucción.
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.
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 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.
¡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 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.
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.
