Miqueas 7
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Lamento del profeta
7 Yo, Miqueas, soy un miserable,
y quisiera calmar mi apetito.
Ando en busca de uvas o higos,
pero no encuentro nada que comer;
ya todo lo han cosechado.
2 Ya no hay en este mundo
gente buena y que ame a Dios;
unos a otros se hacen daño.
Sólo esperan el momento
de matarse unos a otros.
3 Los gobernantes y los jueces
exigen dinero para favorecer a los ricos.
Los poderosos dicen lo que quieren
y siempre actúan con falsedad.
¡Son unos maestros para hacer lo malo!
4 ¡El más bueno y honrado de ellos
es peor que una mata de espinos!
Pero ya está cerca el día
en que Dios los castigará,
tal como lo anunciaron los profetas.
¡Ese día no sabrán qué hacer!
5-6 Por eso, no confíen en nadie
ni crean en lo que otros les digan.
Tengan cuidado de lo que hablan,
porque los hijos y las hijas
no respetan a sus padres,
las nueras desprecian a sus suegras,
y nuestros peores enemigos
los tenemos en la familia.
¡Por eso no confíen en nadie,
ni en su propia esposa!
7 Yo, por mi parte,
pondré mi confianza en Dios.
Él es mi salvador,
y sé que habrá de escucharme.
Dios salvará a su pueblo
8 Los israelitas dijeron:
«Babilonia, nación enemiga,
no te alegres de vernos en desgracia.
Fuimos derrotados,
pero volveremos a levantarnos;
ahora estamos en graves problemas,
pero el Dios de Israel nos salvará.
9 »Es verdad que pecamos contra Dios;
por eso soportamos su castigo.
Pero un día habrá de juzgarnos,
y entonces nos hará justicia
y nos hará gozar de su salvación.
10 »Babilonia, enemiga nuestra,
tú preguntabas por nuestro Dios;
¡pues vas a quedar en vergüenza
cuando veas lo que hará por nosotros!
¡Ya nos alegraremos al verte
pisoteada como el barro de las calles!
11 »Jerusalén,
ya está cerca el día
en que tus muros serán reconstruidos
y tu territorio será extendido.
12 Ya está cerca el día
en que vendrán a visitarte
pueblos de todas partes:
vendrán de Asiria y de Egipto,
del río Nilo y del río Éufrates,
de un mar a otro mar,
de una montaña a otra montaña;
13 porque el territorio de esos países
quedará hecho un desierto
por los pecados de sus habitantes.
Oración a favor del pueblo
14 »Dios nuestro,
cuida de tu pueblo;
cuida de este rebaño tuyo.
Aunque vivimos en tierras fértiles
parecemos ovejas perdidas en el bosque.
Tú eres nuestro pastor,
ven y ayúdanos
como lo hiciste en otros tiempos.
Aliméntanos con lo mejor
que nos ofrecen las regiones
de Basán y de Galaad.
15 »Muéstranos tus grandes acciones,
como cuando nos sacaste de Egipto.
16 ¡Haz que las naciones poderosas
las vean y se queden asombradas!
¡Haz que de la sorpresa
no sepan qué hacer ni qué decir!
17 »Dios nuestro,
¡obliga a esas naciones
a arrastrarse por el suelo,
como lo hacen las serpientes!
¡Obliga a esos pueblos
a salir de sus refugios,
para que llenos de miedo
se humillen ante ti!
18 »No hay otro Dios como tú.
Somos pocos los que quedamos con vida.
Tú perdonas nuestra maldad
y olvidas nuestro pecado.
Tan grande es tu amor por nosotros
que tu enojo no dura para siempre.
19 »¡Vuelve a compadecerte de nosotros,
y arroja todos nuestros pecados
a lo más profundo del mar!
20 Déjanos disfrutar de tu amor y fidelidad,
porque así lo prometiste
a Abraham, a Jacob,
y a todos nuestros antepasados».

Israel’s Misery
7 What misery is mine!
I am like one who gathers summer fruit
at the gleaning of the vineyard;
there is no cluster of grapes to eat,
none of the early figs(A) that I crave.
2 The faithful have been swept from the land;(B)
not one(C) upright person remains.
Everyone lies in wait(D) to shed blood;(E)
they hunt each other(F) with nets.(G)
3 Both hands are skilled in doing evil;(H)
the ruler demands gifts,
the judge accepts bribes,(I)
the powerful dictate what they desire—
they all conspire together.
4 The best of them is like a brier,(J)
the most upright worse than a thorn(K) hedge.
The day God visits you has come,
the day your watchmen sound the alarm.
Now is the time of your confusion.(L)
5 Do not trust a neighbor;
put no confidence in a friend.(M)
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
guard the words of your lips.
6 For a son dishonors his father,
a daughter rises up against her mother,(N)
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.(O)
7 But as for me, I watch(P) in hope(Q) for the Lord,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear(R) me.
Israel Will Rise
8 Do not gloat over me,(S) my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will rise.(T)
Though I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be my light.(U)
9 Because I have sinned against him,
I will bear the Lord’s wrath,(V)
until he pleads my case(W)
and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out into the light;(X)
I will see his righteousness.(Y)
10 Then my enemy will see it
and will be covered with shame,(Z)
she who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”(AA)
My eyes will see her downfall;(AB)
even now she will be trampled(AC) underfoot
like mire in the streets.
11 The day for building your walls(AD) will come,
the day for extending your boundaries.
12 In that day people will come to you
from Assyria(AE) and the cities of Egypt,
even from Egypt to the Euphrates
and from sea to sea
and from mountain to mountain.(AF)
13 The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants,
as the result of their deeds.(AG)
Prayer and Praise
14 Shepherd(AH) your people with your staff,(AI)
the flock of your inheritance,
which lives by itself in a forest,
in fertile pasturelands.[a](AJ)
Let them feed in Bashan(AK) and Gilead(AL)
as in days long ago.(AM)
15 “As in the days when you came out of Egypt,
I will show them my wonders.(AN)”
16 Nations will see and be ashamed,(AO)
deprived of all their power.
They will put their hands over their mouths(AP)
and their ears will become deaf.
17 They will lick dust(AQ) like a snake,
like creatures that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling(AR) out of their dens;
they will turn in fear(AS) to the Lord our God
and will be afraid of you.
18 Who is a God(AT) like you,
who pardons sin(AU) and forgives(AV) the transgression
of the remnant(AW) of his inheritance?(AX)
You do not stay angry(AY) forever
but delight to show mercy.(AZ)
19 You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities(BA) into the depths of the sea.(BB)
20 You will be faithful to Jacob,
and show love to Abraham,(BC)
as you pledged on oath to our ancestors(BD)
in days long ago.(BE)

- Micah 7:14 Or in the middle of Carmel
Micah 7
King James Version
Micah 7
King James Version
7 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.
9 I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
12 In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.
16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee.
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
