Mica 2
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
2 Vai de cei ce cugetă(A) nelegiuirea şi făuresc(B) rele în aşternutul lor; când se crapă de ziuă o înfăptuiesc, dacă(C) le stă în putere. 2 Dacă poftesc(D) ogoare, pun mâna pe ele, dacă doresc case, le răpesc; asupresc pe om şi casa lui, pe om şi moştenirea lui. 3 De aceea, aşa vorbeşte Domnul: „Iată, Eu am de gând să aduc o nenorocire împotriva acestui leat de oameni(E), de care nu vă veţi feri grumajii şi nu veţi mai umbla cu capul atât de sus, căci vremurile(F) vor fi rele. 4 În ziua aceea, veţi ajunge de pomină(G), veţi boci(H) şi veţi zice: ‘S-a isprăvit! Suntem pustiiţi cu desăvârşire! Partea de moştenire a poporului meu trece(I) în mâna altuia! Vai, cum mi-o ia! Ogoarele noastre le împarte vrăjmaşului…!’ 5 De aceea nu vei avea pe nimeni care să întindă(J) frânghia de măsurat pentru sorţul tău, în adunarea Domnului.” 6 „Nu(K) prorociţi!” zic ei. „Să nu se prorocească asemenea lucruri. Căci altminteri ocările nu mai încetează!” 7 „Este Domnul atât de grabnic la mânie, casa lui Iacov? Acesta este felul Lui de a lucra?” „Da, cuvintele Mele sunt prielnice celui ce umblă cu neprihănire! 8 De multă vreme poporul Meu este socotit de Mine ca vrăjmaş; voi răpiţi mantaua de pe hainele celor ce trec liniştiţi şi n-au gust de război. 9 Voi izgoniţi din casele lor iubite pe femeile poporului Meu, luaţi pentru totdeauna podoaba Mea de la copiii lor. 10 Sculaţi-vă şi plecaţi, căci aici nu este odihnă(L) pentru voi, căci, din pricina spurcăciunii(M), vor fi dureri, dureri puternice. 11 Da, dacă ar veni un om cu vânt(N) şi minciuni şi ar zice: ‘Îţi voi proroci despre vin şi despre băuturi tari!’ acela ar fi un proroc pentru poporul acesta! – 12 Te voi strânge(O) în întregime, Iacove! Voi strânge rămăşiţa lui Israel, îi voi aduna ca pe nişte oi dintr-un staul(P), ca pe o turmă în păşunea ei, aşa că va fi o mare zarvă(Q) de oameni. 13 Cel ce va face spărtura se va sui înaintea lor; vor face spărtura, vor trece pe poartă şi vor ieşi pe ea; împăratul lor(R) va merge înaintea lor şi Domnul(S) va fi în fruntea lor.”
Micah 2
English Standard Version
Woe to the Oppressors
2 (A)Woe to those who devise wickedness
and work evil (B)on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They covet fields and (C)seize them,
and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
a man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
behold, against (D)this family I am devising disaster,[a]
from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you (E)shall not walk haughtily,
(F)for it will be a time of disaster.
4 In that day (G)they shall take up a taunt song against you
and moan bitterly,
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
(H)he changes the portion of my people;
(I)how he removes it from me!
(J)To an apostate he allots our fields.”
5 Therefore you will have none (K)to cast the line by lot
in the assembly of the Lord.
6 (L)“Do not preach”—thus they preach—
(M)“one should not preach of such things;
(N)disgrace will not overtake us.”
7 Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
(O)Has the Lord grown impatient?[b]
Are these his deeds?
Do not my words do good
to him who walks uprightly?
8 But lately (P)my people have risen up as an enemy;
you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustingly
with no thought of war.[c]
9 The women of my people you drive out
from their delightful houses;
from their young children you take away
my splendor forever.
10 (Q)Arise and go,
for this is no (R)place to rest,
because of (S)uncleanness that destroys
with a grievous destruction.
11 If a man should go about and (T)utter wind and lies,
saying, “I will preach to you (U)of wine and strong drink,”
he would be the preacher for this people!
12 I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob;
(V)I will gather (W)the remnant of Israel;
I will set them together
like sheep in a fold,
(X)like a flock in its pasture,
a noisy multitude of men.
13 (Y)He who opens the breach goes up before them;
they break through and pass the gate,
(Z)going out by it.
Their king passes on before them,
(AA)the Lord at their head.
Micah 2
New International Version
Human Plans and God’s Plans
2 Woe to those who plan iniquity,
to those who plot evil(A) on their beds!(B)
At morning’s light they carry it out
because it is in their power to do it.
2 They covet fields(C) and seize them,(D)
and houses, and take them.
They defraud(E) people of their homes,
they rob them of their inheritance.(F)
3 Therefore, the Lord says:
“I am planning disaster(G) against this people,
from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,(H)
for it will be a time of calamity.
4 In that day people will ridicule you;
they will taunt you with this mournful song:
‘We are utterly ruined;(I)
my people’s possession is divided up.(J)
He takes it from me!
He assigns our fields to traitors.’”
False Prophets
6 “Do not prophesy,” their prophets say.
“Do not prophesy about these things;
disgrace(M) will not overtake us.(N)”
7 You descendants of Jacob, should it be said,
“Does the Lord become[a] impatient?
Does he do such things?”
“Do not my words do good(O)
to the one whose ways are upright?(P)
8 Lately my people have risen up
like an enemy.
You strip off the rich robe
from those who pass by without a care,
like men returning from battle.
9 You drive the women of my people
from their pleasant homes.(Q)
You take away my blessing
from their children forever.
10 Get up, go away!
For this is not your resting place,(R)
because it is defiled,(S)
it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
11 If a liar and deceiver(T) comes and says,
‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’(U)
that would be just the prophet for this people!(V)
Deliverance Promised
12 “I will surely gather all of you, Jacob;
I will surely bring together the remnant(W) of Israel.
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in its pasture;
the place will throng with people.(X)
13 The One who breaks open the way will go up before(Y) them;
they will break through the gate(Z) and go out.
Their King will pass through before them,
the Lord at their head.”
