Micah 2
1 Woe [to] those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the morning light they do it, For their hand is—to God.
Ve dem, der på Lejet udtænker Uret og Udåd, og sætter det i Værk, når det dages, da det står i deres Magt.
2 And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance.
De attrår Marker og raner dem, Huse og tager dem, undertrykker Mand og Hus, Ejendom og Ejer.
3 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am devising against this family calamity, From which you do not remove your necks, Nor walk loftily, for it [is] a time of evil.
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 In that day [one] takes up for you an allegory, And he has wailed a wailing of woe, He has said, We have been utterly spoiled, The portion of my people He changes, How He moves toward me! To the backslider our fields He apportions.
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 Therefore, you have no caster of a line by lot In the assembly of YHWH.
Derfor har du ingen til at udspænde Snoren over en Lod i HERRENs Forsamling.
6 You do not prophesy—they prophesy, They do not prophesy to these, It does not remove shame.
"Præk ikke!" så præker de, "man præker ikke om sligt; får hans Smæden ej Ende?" Hvad siger du, Jakobs Hus?
7 [Those] named the house of Jacob: Has the Spirit of YHWH been shortened? Are these His doings? Do My words not benefit the people that are walking uprightly?
"Er HERREN da hastig til Vrede, handler han så? Er hans Ord ej milde mod den, som vandrer ret?"
8 And recently My people raise up as an enemy, You strip off the honorable ornament from the outer garment, From the confident passers by, You who are turning back from war.
Men I er fjendske imod, på Nakken af mit Folk; Kappen over Kjortelen river l af dem, som vandrer trygt og afskyr Strid.
9 The women of My people you cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings you take away My honor for all time.
Mit Folks Kvinder driver l ud af det Hjem, de holdt af, I tager for evigt min Ære fra deres Børn:
10 Rise and go, for this [is] not the rest, Because of uncleanness it corrupts, And corruption is powerful.
"Op, ryk ud! Thi her kan I ikke bo for den Urenheds Skyld, som volder svar Fordærv."
11 If one is going [with] the wind, And [with] falsehood has lied: I prophesy to you of wine, and of strong drink, He has been the prophet of this 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 surely gather you, O Jacob, all of you, I surely bring together the remnant of Israel, Together I set it as the flock of Bozrah, As a drove in the midst of its pasture, It makes a noise because of man.
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 breaker has gone up before them, They have broken through, Indeed, they pass through the gate, Indeed, they go out through it, And their king passes on before them, And YHWH 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.
