Miqueas 2
1 ¡Ay de los que piensan iniquidad, y de los que fabrican el mal en sus camas! Cuando viene la mañana lo ponen en obra, porque tienen en su mano el poder.
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 Y codiciaron las heredades, y las robaron; y casas, y las tomaron; oprimieron al hombre y a su casa, al hombre y a 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, así dijo el SEÑOR: He aquí, yo pienso sobre esta familia un mal, del cual no sacaréis vuestros cuellos, ni andaréis erguidos; porque el tiempo será 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 aquel tiempo se levantará sobre vosotros refrán, y se hará endecha de lamentación, diciendo: Del todo fuimos destruidos; ha cambiado la parte de mi pueblo. ¡Cómo nos quitó nuestros campos! Los dio, y los repartió a otros.
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, no tendrás quien eche cordel para suerte en la congregación del SEÑOR.
For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.
6 No profeticéis, dicen a los que profetizan; no les profeticen que los ha de comprender vergüenza.
Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!
7 La que te dices Casa de Jacob, ¿se ha acortado el espíritu del SEÑOR? ¿Son éstas sus obras? ¿Mis palabras no hacen bien al que camina derechamente?
Is the Lord quickly made angry? are these his doings? do not his words do good to his people Israel?
8 El que ayer era mi pueblo, se ha levantado como enemigo; tras las vestiduras quitasteis las capas atrevidamente a los que pasaban, como los que vuelven 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 A las mujeres de mi pueblo echasteis fuera de las casas de sus delicias; a sus niños quitasteis mi perpetua alabanza.
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 Levantaos, y andad, que no es ésta el descanso; porque está contaminada, se corrompió, y de grande corrupción.
Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.
11 Si hubiere alguno andando con espíritu de falsedad mintiere diciendo: Yo te profetizaré de vino y de bebida fuerte; éste tal será profeta a 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 De cierto te reuniré todo, oh Jacob: recogeré ciertamente el resto de Israel; lo pondré junto como ovejas de Bosra, como rebaño en mitad de su majada; harán estruendo por la multitud de los hombres.
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 Subirá rompedor delante de ellos; romperán y pasarán la puerta, y saldrán por ella; y su Rey pasará delante de ellos, el SEÑOR por su 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.
