Micah 2
1 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.
vae qui cogitatis inutile et operamini malum in cubilibus vestris in luce matutina faciunt illud quoniam contra Deum est manus eorum
2 They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a 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 Yahweh says: “Behold, 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.
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 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!’”
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 you will have no one who divides the land by lot in Yahweh’s assembly.
propter hoc non erit tibi mittens funiculum sortis in coetu Domini
6 “Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
ne loquamini loquentes non stillabit super istos non conprehendet confusio
7 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
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 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.
et e contrario populus meus in adversarium consurrexit desuper tunica pallium sustulistis eos qui transiebant simpliciter convertistis in bellum
9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
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 resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
surgite et ite quia non habetis hic requiem propter inmunditiam eius corrumpetur putredine pessima
11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would 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 assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
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 He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.
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
