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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 lo tanto, no tendrás a nadie que reparta la tierra por sorteo en la asamblea de Yahvé.
Therefore you shall have no one to cast a line for the lot.
6 “¡No profetices!” — profetizan. “No profetices sobre estas cosas. La desgracia no nos alcanzará”.
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 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?”
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 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.
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 Expulsas a las mujeres de mi pueblo de sus casas agradables; de sus hijos pequeños les quitas mi bendición 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 ¡Levántate y vete! Porque este no es tu lugar de descanso, a causa de la impureza que destruye, incluso con una grave destrucción.
Arise you, and depart; for this is not your rest because of uncleanness: you have been utterly destroyed;
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.
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 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.
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 among men through the breach made before them:
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.
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.
