< Micah 2 >
1 Woe to! [those who] plan wickedness and [those who] do evil on beds their at [the] light the morning they do it for there [belongs] to [the] power of hand their.
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds. When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 And they desire fields and they seize [them] and houses and they take [them] and they oppress a man and household his and a man and inheritance his.
They covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] planning on the clan this calamity which not you will remove from there necks your and not you will walk haughtily for [will be] a time evil it.
Therefore thus says YHWH: "Look, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
4 On the day that someone will lift up on you a saying and he will wail a wailing it is finished he will say utterly we are devastated [the] portion of people my he exchanges how! he removes [it] for me to an apostate fields our he apportions.
In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, 'We are utterly ruined. My people's possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors.'"
5 Therefore not he will belong to you [one who] casts a measuring-line by lot in [the] assembly of Yahweh.
Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the assembly of YHWH.
6 May not you prophesy they prophesy! not they will prophesy of these [things] not it will be turned back ignomini[es].
"Do not prophesy." They prophesy. "Do not prophesy about these things. Disgrace won't overtake us."
7 ¿ [is it] said O house of Jacob ¿ is it short [the] spirit of Yahweh or? [are] these deeds his ¿ not words my do they do good with the upright [person] walking.
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of YHWH angry? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?"
8 And yesterday people my to an enemy he raises up from in front of a garment a mantle you strip off! from [those who] pass by security [those who] return of war.
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9 [the] women of People my you drive out! from [the] house of delights her from with children her you take away glory my for ever.
You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10 Arise and go for not this [is] resting place because it has become unclean it will destroy and [the] destruction [will be] grievous.
Arise, and depart. For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11 If anyone walking of wind and falsehood he told a lie I will prophesy for you of wine and of strong drink and he will be [the] prophesier of the people this.
If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: "I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;" he would be the prophet of this people.
12 Surely I will gather O Jacob all of you surely I will assemble [the] remnant of Israel together I will make it like sheep a sheepfold like a flock in [the] midst of pasture its they will be distraught from humankind.
I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they will swarm with people.
13 He will go up the [one who] breaks through before them they will break through and they have passed through [the] gate and they have gone out by it and he has passed on king their before them and Yahweh [will be] at head their.
The breaker goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, with YHWH at their head.
