Miqueas 2
1 ¡Ay sobre los que planean iniquidad, que traman el mal en sus camas! a la luz de la mañana lo hacen, porque tienen el poder en su mano.
Terrible things will happen to you who lie awake at night, planning to do wicked things. You get up at dawn, and you do those things, [as soon as] you are able to do them.
2 Desean los campos y los toman por la fuerza; y casas y se las llevan; oprimen y roban al hombre y su casa, incluso al hombre y su herencia.
You want fields [that belong to other people], so you seize them; you also take their houses. You cheat people to get their homes, taking away the property that belongs to their families.
3 Por esta razón, el Señor ha dicho: Mira, contra esta familia propongo un mal del cual no podrán quitar sus cuellos, y no andarán erguidos porque será un mal momento.
Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: “I will cause you people to experience disasters, and you will not be able to escape [MTY] from them. You will no [longer] walk around proudly, because when those things happen, it will be a time of much trouble for you.
4 En ese día se dirá este dicho sobre ti, y se hará esta canción de dolor: La herencia de mi pueblo ha cambiado, como nos quitó nuestros campos; los que nos han hecho prisioneros nos han quitado nuestros campos y los ha dado a otros; nos ha llegado la destrucción completa.
At that time, [your enemies] will make fun of you; they will ridicule you by singing this sad song about you: ‘We are completely ruined; Yahweh is taking our land/fields from us, and he will give it to those who will capture us.’”
5 Por esta causa, no tendrás a nadie que eche él cordel en el sorteo en la reunión del Señor.
So [when it is the time for the land to be given back to you] people who belong to Yahweh, there will be no one [MTY] who will be able to (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine which land belongs to whom.
6 Que no vengan profecías como estas, dicen: ¡La vergüenza y la maldición no vendrán a la familia de Jacob!
The people [who heard me say that] replied to me, “Do not prophesy such things! Do not say that [Yahweh] is going to humiliate us [by causing us to experience disasters]!”
7 Tú que te dices la casa de Jacob ¿Se enoja rápidamente el Señor? ¿Son estas sus obras? ¿No hacen bien mis palabras al que camina rectamente?
But you people [MTY] of Israel should not [RHQ] talk like that! The Spirit of Yahweh will certainly not [RHQ] be patient [with people who say such things]! People who continually do things that are righteous will certainly [RHQ] like/appreciate what I say.
8 En cuanto a ti, te has convertido en enemigo de los que estaban en paz contigo; tomas la ropa de los que pasan confiadamente, como los que vuelven de la guerra.
[But Yahweh says], “[Recently] my people have been acting toward me like an enemy. When soldiers return from fighting [against their enemies], you [rich people refuse to return the coats of those poor soldiers who have borrowed money from you] [and given you their coats to guarantee that they will pay back the money that they borrowed from you]. [It is as though] you are waiting to forcefully take their coats off their backs!
9 Las mujeres de mi pueblo las has estado alejando de sus queridos hijos; de sus jóvenes estás tomando mi gloria para siempre.
You have forced women to leave their nice homes, and you have stolen from their children forever the (blessings/good things) that I wanted to give them.
10 ¡Levántate! y ve; porque este no es tu descanso: como se ha hecho impuro, te destruirá, con dolorosa destrucción.
[So] get up and leave [here]! This is not a place where you can rest [and be safe/protected], because you have (defiled it/caused it to be a place that I hate); it will be completely destroyed.
11 Si un hombre viniera con un falso espíritu de engaño, diciendo: Profetizare de vino y bebida fuerte; él sería el tipo de profeta para este pueblo.
[You people want] a prophet who will lie to you, saying ‘I will preach [that you should drink] plenty of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks!’ That is the [kind of] prophet who [would please] you.”
12 Ciertamente haré que todos ustedes, oh Jacob, se reúnan; Reuniré al resto de Israel; Los pondré juntos como ovejas en su redil: como un rebaño en su pastizal; harán estruendo por la multitud de hombres.
“[But some day], you descendants of Jacob, you Israeli people who have survived, I will bring you back [from (exile/other countries)], I will gather you together like [SIM] [a shepherd gathers his] sheep from the pasture into a pen [DOU]; there will be many of you in your land/country.
13 El abre brecha subirá delante de ellos; forzando su salida, irán a la puerta y saldrán por ella; su rey continuará delante de ellos, y el Señor a la cabeza.
Your leader will enable them to leave the countries where they have been exiled; he will lead them out of the gates [of their enemies’ cities], [back to your own country]. Your king will lead them; [it is I], Yahweh, who will be their king!”
