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.”

2 (A)Zibasanze mmwe abateesa okukola ebitali bya butuukirivu
era abateesa okukola ebibi nga bali ku buliri bwabwe;
Obudde bwe bukya ne batuukiriza entegeka zaabwe,
kubanga kiri mu nteekateeka yaabwe.
2 (B)Beegomba ebyalo ne babitwala,
ne beegomba ennyumba nazo ne bazitwala.
Banyigiriza omuntu ne batwala amaka ge olw’amaanyi,
ne bamubbako ebyobusika bwe.
3 (C)Mukama kyava agamba nti,
“Laba, ndireeta akabi ku bantu abo,
ke mutagenda kweggyamu.
Temuliddayo kubeera n’amalala nate
kubanga kiriba kiseera kya mitawaana.
4 (D)Olwo abantu balikusekerera;
Balikuyeeyereza nga bayimba oluyimba luno olw’okukungubaga nti:
‘Tugwereddewo ddala;
ebintu by’abantu bange bigabanyizibbwamu.
Mukama anziggirako ddala ettaka lyange,
n’aliwa abo abatulyamu enkwe.’ ”
5 (E)Noolwekyo tewalisigalawo muntu n’omu mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama,
aligabanyaamu ettaka ku bululu.
6 (F)Bannabbi baabwe boogera nti, “Temuwa bunnabbi,
Temuwa bunnabbi ku bintu ebyo;
tewali kabi kagenda kututuukako.”
7 (G)Ekyo kye ky’okuddamu ggwe ennyumba ya Yakobo?
Olowooza Omwoyo wa Mukama asunguwalira bwereere, si lwa bulungi bwo?
Ebigambo bye tebiba birungi eri abo abakola obulungi?
8 Ennaku zino abantu bange bannyimukiddeko
ng’omulabe.
Basika ne bambula eminagiro emirungi
ne baggigya ku migongo gy’abayise ababa beetambulira mu mirembe,
ng’abasajja abakomawo okuva mu lutabaalo.
9 (H)Bakazi b’abantu bange mubagoba
mu mayumba gaabwe amalungi,
abaana baabwe ne mubaggyirako ddala buli mukisa
oguva eri Katonda.
10 (I)Muyimuke mugende,
kubanga kino tekikyali kiwummulo kyammwe;
olw’ebikolwa ebibi bye mukijjuzza,
kyonoonese obutaddayo kuddaabirizika.
11 (J)Omuntu bw’ajja n’omwoyo ogw’obulimba, n’agamba nti,
“Ka mbabuulire ku ssanyu ly’omwenge gwe baagala era gwe banoonya,”
oyo y’aba nnabbi w’abantu abo.
12 (K)“Ddala ddala ndibakuŋŋaanya mwenna, ggwe Yakobo;
ndikuŋŋaanya abo abaasigalawo ku Isirayiri.
Ndibakuŋŋaanya ng’akuŋŋaanya endiga ez’omu ddundiro,
ng’ekisibo mu ddundiro lyakyo,
ekifo kirijjula abantu.
13 (L)Oyo aggulawo ekkubo alibakulembera okubaggya mu buwaŋŋanguse,
abayise mu mulyango abafulumye.
Era kabaka waabwe alibakulembera,
Mukama alibakulembera.”

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.
