Micah 2
Lexham English Bible
Woe to the Oppressors of God’s People
2 Woe to those who plan wickedness
and evil deeds upon their beds!
In the light of the morning they did it,
because they have power in their hands.
2 They covet fields and seize them,
and houses, and they take them away.
They oppress a man and his house;
a man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore, thus says Yahweh: Look! I am planning disaster against this family from which you will not be able to remove your necks. You will not walk proudly, for it is a time of disaster.
4 In that day they will raise a proverb against you,
and will wail a bitter wailing, saying,
“We are utterly ruined;
he exchanges the portion of my people.
How he removes it from me;
he apportions our field to an apostate.”
5 Therefore you will have no one casting a line by lot
in the assembly of Yahweh.
6 “Do not preach!” they are preaching.
They should not preach to these;
disgrace will not overtake us.
7 Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
Is the patience[a] of Yahweh shortened?
Are these his deeds?
Are my words not pleasing
to him who walks upright?
8 But recently[b] my people have risen up as an enemy;
from before the cloak you strip off the robe
from those passing by in confidence,
returning from war.
9 You have driven out the women of my people
from the houses of their[c] pleasure.
From their[d] children you have taken away
my glory forever.
10 Arise and go,
for this is no resting place,
on account of uncleanness that destroys
with painful destruction.
11 If a man walks about in a spirit of deception and lies,
saying “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,”
then he would be a preacher for this people!
12 I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob;
I will surely gather together the remainder of Israel.
I will set them like sheep of Bozrah.
Like a herd in the midst of their pasture
they will be in tumult from people.
13 The one who breaks out before them goes up;
they break through and pass the gate,
going out through it.
Their king passes before them,
Yahweh at their head.
Miqueas 2
La Biblia de las Américas
¡Ay de los opresores!
2 ¡Ay de los que planean la iniquidad,
los que traman el mal en sus camas(A)!
Al clarear[a] la mañana lo ejecutan(B),
porque está en el poder de sus manos(C).
2 Codician(D) campos y se apoderan de ellos(E),
casas, y las toman.
Roban[b] al dueño[c] y a su casa,
al hombre y a su heredad(F).
3 Por tanto, así dice el Señor:
He aquí, estoy planeando traer contra esta familia(G) un mal
del cual no libraréis vuestro cuello(H),
ni andaréis erguidos(I);
porque será un tiempo malo(J).
4 En aquel día se dirá[d] contra vosotros un refrán[e](K)
y se proferirá[f] una amarga(L) lamentación, diciendo:
«Hemos sido totalmente destruidos(M);
Él ha cambiado la porción de mi pueblo.
¡Cómo me la ha quitado!
Al infiel[g] ha repartido nuestros campos(N)».
5 Por tanto, no habrá quién eche para vosotros[h]
el cordel en el sorteo
en la asamblea del Señor(O).
6 «No profeticéis[i]» dicen, y profetizan[j](P).
Aunque ellos[k] no profeticen[l] acerca de estas cosas(Q),
no serán retenidos los reproches(R).
7 ¿No se dice, oh casa de Jacob:
«Es impaciente el Espíritu del Señor(S)?
¿Son estas sus obras?».
¿No hacen bien mis palabras(T)
al que camina rectamente(U)?
8 Hace poco[m] mi pueblo se ha levantado como enemigo(V).
De sobre las vestiduras arrebatáis el manto[n](W)
a los que pasan confiados,
a los que vuelven de la guerra(X).
9 A las mujeres de mi pueblo arrojáis(Y)
de la casa de sus delicias;
de sus hijos arrebatáis mi gloria para siempre(Z).
10 Levantaos y marchad,
pues este no es lugar de descanso(AA)
por la impureza que trae destrucción,
destrucción dolorosa(AB).
11 Si un hombre, andando tras el viento y la falsedad,
hablara mentiras(AC), diciendo:
«Os hablaré[o] del vino y del licor(AD)»,
ese sería el profeta[p] para este pueblo(AE).
12 Ciertamente os reuniré a todos[q](AF), oh Jacob,
ciertamente recogeré al remanente de Israel(AG),
los agruparé como ovejas en el aprisco;
como rebaño en medio de su pastizal,
harán estruendo por la multitud de hombres.
13 El que abre brecha subirá delante de ellos;
abrirán brecha, pasarán la puerta y saldrán por ella;
su rey pasará delante de ellos,
y el Señor a su cabeza.

Micah 2
King James Version
2 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
4 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord.
6 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7 O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the Lord straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them.
