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
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
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
International Children’s Bible
The Evil Plans of People
2 How terrible it will be for people who plan wickedness.
They lie on their beds and make evil plans.
When the morning light comes, they do the things they planned.
They do them just because they have the power to do so.
2 They want fields; so they take them.
They want houses; so they take them.
They cheat a man and take his house.
They cheat a man and take his property.
3 That is why the Lord says:
“Look, I am planning trouble against such people.
You won’t be able to save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,
because it will be a terrible time.
4 At that time people will make fun of you.
They will sing this sad song about you:
‘We are completely ruined.
The Lord has taken away our land.
Yes, he has taken our land away from us.
He has divided our fields among our enemies!’”
5 So you will have no land for people to measure.
They will not throw lots to divide the land among the Lord’s people.
Micah Is Asked Not to Prophesy
6 People say, “Don’t prophesy to us!
Don’t say those bad things about us!
Nothing like that will happen to us!”
7 But I must say this, people of Jacob.
The Lord is becoming angry about what you have done.
If you lived right,
I could say nice words to you.
8 But recently, my people have become my enemy.
You take the coats from people who pass by.
They think they are safe.
But you rob them
as if they were prisoners of war.
9 You’ve forced the women of my people
from their nice houses.
You’ve taken my glory
from their children forever.
10 Get up and leave.
This is not your promised place of rest anymore.
You have made this place unclean.
It is doomed to destruction.
11 But you people want a false prophet
who will tell you nothing but lies.
You want one who promises to prophesy good things for you
if you give him wine and beer.
He’s just the prophet for you.
The Lord Promises to Rescue His People
12 “Yes, people of Jacob, I will bring all of you together.
I will bring together all those left alive in Israel.
I’ll put them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in its pasture.
Then the place will be filled with many people.
13 Someone will open the way and lead the people out.
The people will break through the gate and leave the city where they were held captive.
Their king will go out in front of them.
The Lord will lead his people.”
