Mikas 2
Ang Biblia, 2001
Ang Kapalaran ng mga Umaapi sa mga Dukha
2 Kahabag-habag sila na nagbabalak ng kasamaan,
at gumagawa ng kasamaan sa kanilang mga higaan!
Kapag dumating ang umaga, ay ginagawa nila ito,
sapagkat ito'y nasa kapangyarihan ng kanilang kamay.
2 Sila'y nag-iimbot ng mga bukid, at kanilang kinakamkam;
at ng mga bahay at kanilang kinukuha;
at kanilang inaapi ang isang tao at ang kanyang sambahayan,
ang tao at ang kanyang mana.
3 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon:
Laban sa angkang ito ay nagbabalak ako ng kasamaan
na doo'y hindi ninyo maaalis ang inyong mga leeg,
ni makalalakad man na may kahambugan;
sapagkat iyon ay magiging isang masamang panahon.
4 Sa araw na iyon ay aawit ako nang pagtuya laban sa inyo,
at mananaghoy ng mapait na panaghoy,
at sasabihin, “Kami ay lubos na nasira;
kanyang binabago ang bahagi ng aking bayan;
ano't inilalayo niya sa akin!
Kanyang binabahagi ang aming mga bukid sa mga bumihag sa amin.”
5 Kaya't mawawalan ka na ng maghahagis ng pisi sa pamamagitan ng palabunutan
sa kapulungan ng Panginoon.
6 “Huwag kayong mangaral”—ganito sila nangangaral—
“walang dapat mangaral ng gayong mga bagay;
hindi tayo aabutan ng kahihiyan.”
7 Ito ba ay dapat sabihin, O sambahayan ni Jacob,
Ang pagtitiis ba ng Panginoon ay ubos na?
Ang mga ito ba ang kanyang mga gawa?
Di ba ang aking mga salita ay gumagawa ng mabuti
sa lumalakad nang matuwid?
8 Kamakailan ang aking bayan ay bumangon na gaya ng isang kaaway:
inyong hinubaran ng kasuotan
ang mga walang malay na nagdaraan,
na galing sa digmaan.
9 Ang mga babae ng aking bayan ay inyong pinalalayas
sa kanilang masasayang bahay;
mula sa kanilang mga bata ay inyong inaalis
ang aking kaluwalhatian magpakailanman.
10 Bumangon kayo at humayo,
sapagkat hindi ito lugar na pahingahan;
dahil sa karumihan na lumilipol
sa pamamagitan ng malubhang pagkawasak.
11 Kung ang isang tao ay lumalakad at nagsasalita ng hangin at kasinungalingan,
na nagsasabi, “Ako'y mangangaral sa iyo tungkol sa alak at matapang na inumin.”
Siya ang magiging tagapagsalita para sa bayang ito!
12 Tiyak na titipunin ko kayong lahat, O Jacob,
aking titipunin ang nalabi ng Israel;
akin silang ilalagay na magkakasama
na parang mga tupa sa isang kulungan,
na parang kawan sa pastulan nito,
isang maingay na pulutong ng mga tao.
13 Nangunguna sa kanila ang nagbubukas ng daan;
sila'y lalampas at daraan sa pintuan
at lalabas doon.
Ang kanilang hari ay daraan sa harapan nila,
at ang Panginoon ang nasa unahan nila.
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.”

- Micah 2:7 Or Is the Spirit of the Lord
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.
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.
