Miqueas 2
1 ¡Ay de los que planean maldades y traman iniquidad en sus camas! ¡Cuando llega la mañana las ejecutan con el poder que tienen en 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 campos y los roban. Codician casas y se las llevan. Roban al hombre, su familia y su heredad.
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 tanto, Yavé dice: Ahora ciertamente Yo traigo una calamidad contra esta familia de la cual ustedes no podrán apartar sus cuellos, ni andar con arrogancia. Porque será un tiempo de calamidad.
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 Aquel día se levantará una mofa contra ustedes, un amargo lamento y dirán: ¡Somos completamente destruidos! Él cambió la heredad de mi pueblo. ¡Cómo me la quitó! A los infieles distribuyó mis campos.
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 tanto, ya no habrá en la congregación de Yavé quien eche la cuerda para medir una posesión.
For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.
6 Dicen a los que profetizan: ¡No profeticen! Así la afrenta 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 dice, oh casa de Jacob: ¿El Espíritu de Yavé está impaciente? ¿Son éstas sus obras? ¿Mis palabras no hacen bien al que anda rectamente?
Is the Lord quickly made angry? are these his doings? do not his words do good to his people Israel?
8 Recientemente mi pueblo se alzó como un enemigo. Hoy despojan del manto y la ropa al que transita confiado, a los que regresaron de la guerra.
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 Echan a las mujeres de mi pueblo fuera del calor de sus hogares y despojan de mi gloria a sus hijos 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 Levántense y caminen, porque éste no es lugar de reposo, pues está contaminado a causa de la impureza que trae una penosa 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 viene un hombre con espíritu de falsedad, miente y dice: Profetizo que tendrán vino y mosto fermentado de manzana, ¡Ése será 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 ¡Ciertamente reuniré a todos, oh Jacob! Ciertamente congregaré al remanente de Israel. Los reuniré como ovejas en el redil, como un rebaño en medio del pastizal. Harán mucho ruido por causa de la multitud 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 caminos va delante de ellos, irrumpen, pasan por la puerta y salen. Su rey va delante de ellos, y a la cabeza está Yavé.
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.
