Miqueas 2
1 ¡Ay de los que maquinan iniquidad y en sus lechos preparan el mal! A la luz del día lo ponen por obra, porque tienen el poder en su mano.
They meditated troubles, and wrought wickedness on their beds, and they put it in execution with the daylight; for they have not lifted up their hands to God.
2 Codician campos y los roban, también casas, y se apoderan de ellas; oprimen al dueño y su casa, al propietario y su heredad.
And they desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even a man and his inheritance.
3 Por eso, dice Yahvé: He aquí que tengo preparado contra esta raza un mal, del cual no podréis librar vuestras cervices; y no andaréis ya erguidos, porque será tiempo calamitoso.
Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I devise evils against this family, out of which you shall not lift up your necks, neither shall you walk upright speedily: for the time is evil.
4 En aquel día se dirá sobre vosotros un proverbio, y se entonará una lamentación. Dirán: “Somos completamente asolados; (Dios) entrega a otros la herencia de mi pueblo. ¡Cómo me la quita a mí y reparte nuestros campos a los infieles!”
In that day shall a parable be taken up against you, and a plaintive lamentation shall be uttered, saying, We are thoroughly miserable: the portion of my people has been measured out with a line, and there was none to hinder him so as to turn him back; your fields have been divided.
5 Por eso ya no tendrás quien echando la cuerda (reparta) posesiones en la congregación de Yahvé.
Therefore you shall have no one to cast a line for the lot.
6 “¡No profeticéis!”, así dicen ellos. Pero si no se les profetiza, no se apartará (de ellos) el oprobio.
Weep not with tears in the assembly of the Lord, neither let [any] weep for these things; for he shall not remove the reproaches,
7 Dice la casa de Jacob: “¿Se ha disminuido el espíritu de Yahvé? ¿Son estas sus obras?” ¿Acaso mis palabras no son buenas para los que andan por el recto camino?
who says, The house of Jacob has provoked the Spirit of the Lord; are not these his practices? Are not the Lord's words right with him? and have they not proceeded correctly?
8 Hace tiempo que el pueblo mío se ha levantado (contra Mí) como enemigo; después de la ropa robáis el manto; hacéis la guerra a los que van pasando confiados.
Even beforetime my people withstood [him] as an enemy against his peace; they have stripped off his skin to remove hope [in] the conflict of war.
9 A las mujeres de mi pueblo las arrojáis de sus queridas casas, y a sus pequeñuelos les quitáis mi loor para siempre.
The leaders of my people shall be cast forth from their luxurious houses; they are rejected because of their evil practices; draw you near to the everlasting mountains.
10 Levantaos y marchad, pues no es este el lugar de vuestro descanso; porque es inmundo, será devastado con terrible tormento.
Arise you, and depart; for this is not your rest because of uncleanness: you have been utterly destroyed;
11 Si uno anda tras el viento y tras la mentira, (diciendo): “Yo te profetizo vino y bebida embriagante”, este es el profeta de este pueblo.
you have fled, no one pursuing [you: your] spirit has framed falsehood, it has dropped on you for wine and strong drink. But it shall come to pass, [that] out of the dropping of this people,
12 Yo te juntaré todo entero, oh Jacob; recogeré los restos de Israel, los pondré juntos como ovejas en un aprisco, cual hato en medio del pastizal, y habrá un ruido grande por (la multitud) de gente.
Jacob shall be completely gathered with all [his people: ] I will surely receive the remnant of Israel; I will cause them to return together, as sheep in trouble, as a flock in the midst of their fold: they shall rush forth from amongst men through the breach made before them:
13 Va delante de ellos aquel que les abre camino; irrumpen y fuerzan la puerta, y salen por ella; y delante de ellos marcha su rey, y Yahvé a su frente.
they have broken through, and passed the gate, and gone out by it: and their king has gone out before them, and the Lord shall lead them.
