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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 tanto, no tendrás quien eche cordel para suerte en la congregación del SEÑOR.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the cord of a lot in the assembly of the Lord.
6 No profeticéis, dicen a los que profetizan; no les profeticen que los ha de comprender vergüenza.
Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall not take them.
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?
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 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.
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 A las mujeres de mi pueblo echasteis fuera de las casas de sus delicias; a sus niños quitasteis mi perpetua alabanza.
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 Levantaos, y andad, que no es ésta el descanso; porque está contaminada, se corrompió, y de grande corrupción.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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.
