Micah 2
1 Woe vnto them, that imagine iniquitie, and worke wickednesse vpon their beddes: when the morning is light they practise it because their hande hath power.
vae qui cogitatis inutile et operamini malum in cubilibus vestris in luce matutina faciunt illud quoniam contra Deum est manus eorum
2 And they couet fields, and take them by violence, and houses, and take them away: so they oppresse a man and his house, euen man and his heritage.
et concupierunt agros et violenter tulerunt et domos rapuerunt et calumniabantur virum et domum eius virum et hereditatem eius
3 Therefore thus saieth the Lord, Beholde, against this familie haue I deuised a plague, whereout yee shall not plucke your neckes, and ye shall not go so proudly, for this time is euill.
idcirco haec dicit Dominus ecce ego cogito super familiam istam malum unde non auferetis colla vestra et non ambulabitis superbi quoniam tempus pessimum est
4 In that daye shall they take vp a parable against you, and lament with a dolefull lamentation, and say, We be vtterly wasted: hee hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he taken it away to restore it vnto mee? he hath deuided our fieldes.
in die illa sumetur super vos parabola et cantabitur canticum cum suavitate dicentium depopulatione vastati sumus pars populi mei commutata est quomodo recedet a me cum revertatur qui regiones nostras dividat
5 Therefore thou shalt haue none that shall cast a corde by lot in the Congregation of the Lord.
propter hoc non erit tibi mittens funiculum sortis in coetu Domini
6 They that prophecied, Prophecie ye not. They shall not prophecie to them, neither shall they take shame.
ne loquamini loquentes non stillabit super istos non conprehendet confusio
7 O thou that art named of the house of Iaakob, is the Spirite of the Lord shortened? are these his workes? are not my wordes good vnto him that walketh vprightly?
dicit domus Iacob numquid adbreviatus est spiritus Domini aut tales sunt cogitationes eius nonne verba mea bona sunt cum eo qui recte graditur
8 But hee that was yesterday my people, is risen vp on the other side, as against an enemie: they spoyle the beautifull garment from them that passe by peaceably, as though they returned from the warre.
et e contrario populus meus in adversarium consurrexit desuper tunica pallium sustulistis eos qui transiebant simpliciter convertistis in bellum
9 The women of my people haue ye cast out from their pleasant houses, and from their childre haue ye taken away my glorie continually.
mulieres populi mei eiecistis de domo deliciarum suarum a parvulis earum tulistis laudem meam in perpetuum
10 Arise and depart, for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, euen with a sore destruction.
surgite et ite quia non habetis hic requiem propter inmunditiam eius corrumpetur putredine pessima
11 If a man walke in the Spirit, and would lie falsely, saying, I wil prophecie vnto thee of wine, and of strong drinke, he shall euen be the prophet of this people.
utinam non essem vir habens spiritum et mendacium potius loquerer stillabo tibi in vinum et in ebrietatem et erit super quem stillatur populus iste
12 I will surely gather thee wholy, O Iaakob: I will surely gather the remnant of Israel: I will put them together as the sheepe of Bozrah, euen as the flocke in the mids of their folde: the cities shall be full of brute of the men.
congregatione congregabo Iacob totum te in unum conducam reliquias Israhel pariter ponam illum quasi gregem in ovili quasi pecus in medio caularum tumultuabuntur a multitudine hominum
13 The breaker vp shall come vp before them: they shall breake out, and passe by the gate, and goe out by it, and their King shall goe before them, and the Lord shalbe vpon their heades.
ascendet enim pandens iter ante eos divident et transibunt portam et egredientur per eam et transibit rex eorum coram eis et Dominus in capite eorum
