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.
Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is against God.
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.
And they have coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and houses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I devise an evil against this family: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not walk haughtily, for this is a very 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 a parable shall be taken up upon you, and a song shall be sung with melody by them that say: We are laid waste and spoiled: the portion of my people is changed: how shall he depart from me, whereas he is returning that will divide our land?
5 Por lo tanto, no tendrás a nadie que reparta la tierra por sorteo en la asamblea de Yahvé.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the cord of a lot in the assembly of the Lord.
6 “¡No profetices!” — profetizan. “No profetices sobre estas cosas. La desgracia no nos alcanzará”.
Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall not take them.
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?”
The house of Jacob saith: Is the spirit of the Lord straitened, or are these his thoughts? Are not my words good to him that walketh uprightly?
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.
But my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have taken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless you have turned to war.
9 Expulsas a las mujeres de mi pueblo de sus casas agradables; de sus hijos pequeños les quitas mi bendición para siempre.
You have cast out the women of my people from their houses, in which they took delight: you have taken my praise for ever from their children.
10 ¡Levántate y vete! Porque este no es tu lugar de descanso, a causa de la impureza que destruye, incluso con una grave destrucción.
Arise ye, and depart, for there is no rest here for you. For that uncleanness of the land, it shall be corrupted with a grievous corruption.
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.
Would God I were not a man that hath the spirit, and that I rather spoke a lie: I will let drop to thee of wine, and of drunkenness: and it shall be this people upon whom it shall drop.
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 assemble and gather together all of thee, O Jacob: I will bring together the remnant of Israel, I will put them together as a flock in the fold, as the sheep in the midst of the sheepcotes, they shall make a tumult by reason of the multitude 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.
For he shall go up that shall open the way before them: they shall divide, and pass through the gate, and shall come in by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord at the head of them.
