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!
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. Codician casas y se las llevan. Roban al hombre, su familia 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 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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I devise evils against this family, out of which ye shall not lift up your necks, neither shall ye walk upright speedily: for the time is evil.
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 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 tanto, ya no habrá en la congregación de Yavé quien eche la cuerda para medir una posesión.
Therefore thou shalt have no one to cast a line for the lot.
6 Dicen a los que profetizan: ¡No profeticen! Así la afrenta 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 dice, oh casa de Jacob: ¿El Espíritu de Yavé está impaciente? ¿Son éstas sus obras? ¿Mis palabras no hacen bien al que anda rectamente?
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 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.
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 Echan a las mujeres de mi pueblo fuera del calor de sus hogares y despojan de mi gloria a sus hijos para siempre.
The leaders of my people shall be cast forth from their luxurious houses; they are rejected because of their evil practices; draw ye near to the everlasting mountains.
10 Levántense y caminen, porque éste no es lugar de reposo, pues está contaminado a causa de la impureza que trae una penosa destrucción.
Arise thou, and depart; for this is not thy rest because of uncleanness: ye have been utterly destroyed;
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!
ye have fled, no one pursuing [you: thy] spirit has framed falsehood, it has dropped on thee for wine and strong drink. But it shall come to pass, [that] out of the dropping of 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.
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 caminos va delante de ellos, irrumpen, pasan por la puerta y salen. Su rey va delante de ellos, y a la cabeza está Yavé.
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.
