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.
Sa aba nila na humahaka ng kasamaan, at nagsisigawa ng kasamaan sa kanilang mga higaan! pagliliwanag sa umaga, ay kanilang isinasagawa, sapagka't nasa kapangyarihan ng kanilang kamay.
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.
At sila'y nangagiimbot ng mga bukid, at kanilang inaangkin; at ng mga bahay, at inaalis: at kanilang pinipighati ang isang tao at ang kaniyang sangbahayan, ang tao, at ang kaniyang mana.
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.
Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Narito, laban sa angkang ito ay humahaka ako ng isang kasamaan na doo'y hindi ninyo maaalis ang inyong mga leeg, ni makalalakad man ng kahambugan; sapagka't isang masamang panahon.
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.’”
Sa araw na yaon ay magsisisambit sila ng talinhaga laban sa inyo, at mangananaghoy ng kakilakilabot na panaghoy, at mangagsasabi, Kami ay lubos na nasira: kaniyang binabago ang bahagi ng aking bayan; ano't inilalayo niya sa akin! sa mga manghihimagsik kaniyang binahagi ang aming mga bukid.
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.
Kaya't mawawalan ka na ng maghahagis ng pisi na panukat sa pamamagitan ng sapalaran sa kapisanan ng Panginoon.
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]!”
Huwag kayong manganghuhula, ganito sila nanganghuhula. Hindi sila manganghuhula sa mga ito: ang mga kakutyaan ay hindi mapapawi.
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.
Sasabihin baga Oh sangbahayan ni Jacob, Ang Espiritu baga ng Panginoon ay nagipit? ang mga ito baga ang kaniyang mga gawa? Di baga ang aking mga salita ay nagsisigawa ng mabuti sa nagsisilakad ng matuwid?
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!
Nguni't kamakailan na ang aking bayan ay bumangon na wari kaaway: inyong hinuhubad ang suot na kalakip ng balabal sa nagsisidaang tiwasay na parang mga lalaking nagsisipanggaling sa digma.
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.
Ang mga babae ng aking bayan ay inyong pinalalayas sa kanilang mga masayang bahay; sa kanilang mga bata ay inyong inaalis ang aking kaluwalhatian magpakailan man.
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.
Kayo'y magsibangon, at magsiyaon; sapagka't hindi ito ang inyong kapahingahan; dahil sa karumihan na lumilipol sa makatuwid baga'y sa mahigpit na paggiba.
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.”
Kung ang isang taong lumalakad sa espiritu ng kabulaanan ay nagsisinungaling, na nagsasabi, Ako'y manghuhula sa iyo tungkol sa alak at matapang na inumin; siya nga'y magiging propeta sa bayang ito.
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.
Walang pagsalang aking pipisanin, Oh Jacob, ang lahat ng iyo; aking pipisaning walang pagsala ang nalabi sa Israel: akin silang ilalagay na magkakasama na parang mga tupa sa Bosra, na parang kawan sa gitna ng pastulan sa kanila; sila'y magkakaingay ng di kawasa dahil sa karamihan ng tao.
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!”
Nangunguna sa kanila yaong nagbubukas ng daan: sila'y nagbukas ng daan at nagsidaan sa pintuang-bayan, at nagsilabas doon; at ang kanilang hari ay nagpauna sa kanila, at ang Panginoon sa unahan nila.
