< Micah 2 >

1 Terrible things will happen to you who lie awake at night, planning to do wicked things. You get up at dawn, and you do those things, [as soon as] you are able to do them.
Ai dos que planejam injustiça, e dos que tramam o mal em suas camas! Quando vem a manhã o efetuam, porque têm o poder em suas mãos.
2 You want fields [that belong to other people], so you seize them; you also take their houses. You cheat people to get their homes, taking away the property that belongs to their families.
E cobiçam campos, e os roubam; cobiçam casas, e as tomam; oprimem ao homem e a sua casa, ao homem e a sua propriedade.
3 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: “I will cause you people to experience disasters, and you will not be able to escape [MTY] from them. You will no [longer] walk around proudly, because when those things happen, it will be a time of much trouble for you.
Portanto, assim diz o SENHOR: Eis que eu planejo um mal contra esta família, da qual não conseguireis livrar vossos pescoços, nem andareis erguidos; porque o tempo será mau.
4 At that time, [your enemies] will make fun of you; they will ridicule you by singing this sad song about you: ‘We are completely ruined; Yahweh is taking our land/fields from us, and he will give it to those who will capture us.’”
Naquele tempo surgirá um provérbio sobre vós, e se lamentará um pranto de lamentação, dizendo: Fomos arruinados por completo; trocada foi a porção de meu povo. Como fomos saqueados! Nossos campos foram repartidos, passados a outros.
5 So [when it is the time for the land to be given back to you] people who belong to Yahweh, there will be no one [MTY] who will be able to (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine which land belongs to whom.
Portanto a ninguém terás que delimite a propriedade de terra por meio de sortes na congregação do SENHOR.
6 The people [who heard me say that] replied to me, “Do not prophesy such things! Do not say that [Yahweh] is going to humiliate us [by causing us to experience disasters]!”
Não profetizeis! Falam eles. Não lhes profetizarão, [mas] a vergonha não se desviará deles.
7 But you people [MTY] of Israel should not [RHQ] talk like that! The Spirit of Yahweh will certainly not [RHQ] be patient [with people who say such things]! People who continually do things that are righteous will certainly [RHQ] like/appreciate what I say.
Por acaso se dirá, ó casa de Jacó: O espírito do SENHOR perdeu a paciência? São estas as suas obras? Por acaso minhas palavras não fazem bem ao que age corretamente?
8 [But Yahweh says], “[Recently] my people have been acting toward me like an enemy. When soldiers return from fighting [against their enemies], you [rich people refuse to return the coats of those poor soldiers who have borrowed money from you] [and given you their coats to guarantee that they will pay back the money that they borrowed from you]. [It is as though] you are waiting to forcefully take their coats off their backs!
Mas recentemente meu povo se levantou como inimigo; tomastes da roupa a capa daqueles que passavam confiantes, voltando da batalha.
9 You have forced women to leave their nice homes, and you have stolen from their children forever the (blessings/good things) that I wanted to give them.
Vós expulsais as mulheres de meu povo de suas queridas casas; de suas crianças tirastes minha glória para sempre.
10 [So] get up and leave [here]! This is not a place where you can rest [and be safe/protected], because you have (defiled it/caused it to be a place that I hate); it will be completely destroyed.
Levantai-vos, e ide embora, porque esta [terra] não serve mais para descanso; pois está contaminada, ela se destruirá, com grande destruição.
11 [You people want] a prophet who will lie to you, saying ‘I will preach [that you should drink] plenty of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks!’ That is the [kind of] prophet who [would please] you.”
Se houver alguém que siga o vento, e fale mentiras e falsidade, dizendo: Eu te profetizarei vinho e de bebida alcoólica, este tal será o profeta deste povo.
12 “[But some day], you descendants of Jacob, you Israeli people who have survived, I will bring you back [from (exile/other countries)], I will gather you together like [SIM] [a shepherd gathers his] sheep from the pasture into a pen [DOU]; there will be many of you in your land/country.
Certamente eu te ajuntarei por completo, ó Jacó; reunirei o restante de Israel; eu o porei junto, como ovelhas de Bosra, como rebanho no meio de seu curral farão estrondo de [multidão de] pessoas.
13 Your leader will enable them to leave the countries where they have been exiled; he will lead them out of the gates [of their enemies’ cities], [back to your own country]. Your king will lead them; [it is I], Yahweh, who will be their king!”
Aquele que rompe [obstáculos] subirá adiante deles; eles romperão, e passarão pela porta, e sairão por ela; e seu rei irá adiante deles, e o SENHOR estará em sua dianteira.
