Oppressors Judged
2 Woe to those who dream up wickedness
and prepare evil plans(A) on their beds!
At morning light(B) they accomplish it
because the power is in their hands.(C)
2 They covet fields(D) and seize them;(E)
they also take houses.
They deprive a man of his home,(F)
a person of his inheritance.(G)
3 Therefore, the Lord says:
I am now planning(H) a disaster
against this nation;(I)
you cannot free your necks from it.(J)
Then you will not walk so proudly(K)
because it will be an evil time.(L)
4 In that day one will take up(M) a taunt against you
and lament mournfully,(N) saying,
‘We are totally ruined!(O)
He measures out the allotted land of my people.
How he removes it from me!
He allots our fields(P) to traitors.’
5 Therefore, there will be no one
in the assembly of the Lord
to divide the land by casting lots.[a](Q)
God’s Word Rejected
6 ‘Abandon your preaching,’(R) they[b] preach.
‘They should not preach these things;(S)
shame will not overtake us.’[c](T)
7 House of Jacob, should it be asked,
‘Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?(U)
Are these the things he does? ’
Don’t my words bring good(V)
to the one who walks uprightly?(W)
8 But recently my people have risen up
like an enemy:(X)
You strip off the splendid robe(Y)
from those who are passing through confidently,(Z)
like those returning from war.
9 You force(AA) the women of my people
out of their comfortable homes,
and you take my blessing[d](AB)
from their children for ever.
10 Get up and leave,
for this is not your place of rest(AC)
because defilement(AD) brings destruction –
a grievous destruction!(AE)
11 If a man comes
and utters empty lies(AF) –
‘I will preach to you about wine and beer’(AG) –
he would be just the preacher for this people!(AH)
The Remnant Regathered
12 I will indeed gather(AI) all of you, Jacob;
I will collect the remnant of Israel.(AJ)
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in the middle of its pasture.
It will be noisy with people.(AK)
13 One who breaks open the way
will advance before them;
they will break out, pass through the city gate,
and leave by it.
Their King will pass through before them,
the Lord as their leader.

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.

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.

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.”
