Miqueas 2
1 Ay de los que traman la iniquidad ¡y trabajar el mal en sus camas! Cuando amanece, lo practican, porque está en el poder de su mano.
A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power.
2 Codician los campos y se apoderan de ellos, y casas, y luego se los llevan. Oprimen a un hombre y a su casa, incluso un hombre y su herencia.
They have a desire for fields and take them by force; and for houses and take them away: they are cruel to a man and his family, even to a man and his heritage.
3 Por eso dice Yahvé: “He aquí que estoy planeando contra esta gente un desastre, de la que no se quitará el cuello, ni tampoco caminarás con altivez, porque es un tiempo malo.
For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.
4 En ese día se levantará una parábola contra ti, y se lamentan con un lamento lúgubre, diciendo, ‘¡Estamos totalmente arruinados! La posesión de mi pueblo está dividida. En efecto, ¡me lo quita y asigna nuestros campos a los traidores!”
In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.
5 Por lo tanto, no tendrás a nadie que reparta la tierra por sorteo en la asamblea de Yahvé.
For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.
6 “¡No profetices!” — profetizan. “No profetices sobre estas cosas. La desgracia no nos alcanzará”.
Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!
7 Se dirá, oh casa de Jacob, “¿Está enojado el Espíritu de Yahvé? ¿Son estas sus acciones? ¿No hacen bien mis palabras al que camina sin culpa?”
Is the Lord quickly made angry? are these his doings? do not his words do good to his people Israel?
8 Pero últimamente mi pueblo se ha levantado como un enemigo. Despojas de la túnica y la ropa a los que pasan sin miramientos, volviendo de la batalla.
As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war.
9 Expulsas a las mujeres de mi pueblo de sus casas agradables; de sus hijos pequeños les quitas mi bendición para siempre.
The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever.
10 ¡Levántate y vete! Porque este no es tu lugar de descanso, a causa de la impureza que destruye, incluso con una grave destrucción.
Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.
11 Si un hombre que camina con espíritu de falsedad miente, diciendo, “Te profetizaré sobre el vino y la bebida fuerte,” sería el profeta de este pueblo.
If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.
12 Seguramente os reuniré a todos, Jacob. Seguramente reuniré el remanente de Israel. Los pondré juntos como las ovejas de Bozra, como un rebaño en medio de sus pastos. Se llenarán de gente.
I will certainly make all of you, O Jacob, come together; I will get together the rest of Israel; I will put them together like the sheep in their circle: like a flock in their green field; they will be full of the noise of men.
13 El que abre el camino sube delante de ellos. Rompen la puerta y salen. Su rey pasa delante de ellos, con Yahvé a la cabeza.
The opener of the way will go up before them: forcing their way out they will go on to the doorway and out through it: their king will go on before them, and the Lord at their head.
