Micah 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 Woe to you who devise useless things and who work evil in your beds. In the morning light, they undertake it, because their hand is against God.	1 εγενοντο λογιζομενοι κοπους και εργαζομενοι κακα εν ταις κοιταις αυτων και αμα τη ημερα συνετελουν αυτα διοτι ουκ ηραν προς τον θεον τας χειρας αυτων
2 And they have desired fields and have taken them by violence, and they have stolen houses. And they have made false accusations against a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.	2 και επεθυμουν αγρους και διηρπαζον ορφανους και οικους κατεδυναστευον και διηρπαζον ανδρα και τον οικον αυτου ανδρα και την κληρονομιαν αυτου
3 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I devise an evil against this family, from which you will not steal away your necks. And you will not walk in arrogance, because this is a most wicked time.	3 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω λογιζομαι επι την φυλην ταυτην κακα εξ ων ου μη αρητε τους τραχηλους υμων και ου μη πορευθητε ορθοι εξαιφνης οτι καιρος πονηρος εστιν
4 In that day, a parable will be taken up about you, and a song will be sung with sweetness, saying: “We have been devastated by depopulation.” The fate of my people has been altered. How can he withdraw from me, when he might be turned back, he who might tear apart our country?	4 εν τη ημερα εκεινη λημφθησεται εφ' υμας παραβολη και θρηνηθησεται θρηνος εν μελει λεγων ταλαιπωρια εταλαιπωρησαμεν μερις λαου μου κατεμετρηθη εν σχοινιω και ουκ ην ο κωλυσων αυτον του αποστρεψαι οι αγροι ημων διεμερισθησαν
5 Because of this, there will be for you no casting of the cord of fate in the assembly of the Lord.	5 δια τουτο ουκ εσται σοι βαλλων σχοινιον εν κληρω εν εκκλησια κυριου
6 Do not speak by saying, “It will not drop on these ones; shame will not embrace them.”	6 μη κλαιετε δακρυσιν μηδε δακρυετωσαν επι τουτοις ου γαρ απωσεται ονειδη
7 The house of Jacob says, “Has the Spirit of the Lord been weakened, or are such things his thoughts?” Are not my words good for him who walks uprightly?	7 ο λεγων οικος ιακωβ παρωργισεν πνευμα κυριου ει ταυτα τα επιτηδευματα αυτου εστιν ουχ οι λογοι αυτου εισιν καλοι μετ' αυτου και ορθοι πεπορευνται
8 But, to the contrary, my people have risen up in opposition. You have lifted the cover from the undergarment, and those who passed by harmlessly, you have converted into war.	8 και εμπροσθεν ο λαος μου εις εχθραν αντεστη κατεναντι της ειρηνης αυτου την δοραν αυτου εξεδειραν του αφελεσθαι ελπιδα συντριμμον πολεμου
9 You have evicted the women among my people from their delicate houses. You have taken my praise forever from their little ones.	9 δια τουτο ηγουμενοι λαου μου απορριφησονται εκ των οικιων τρυφης αυτων δια τα πονηρα επιτηδευματα αυτων εξωσθησαν εγγισατε ορεσιν αιωνιοις
10 Rise and depart, for there is no relief for you here. Because of its uncleanness, it will be corrupted with a most wicked decay.	10 αναστηθι και πορευου οτι ουκ εστιν σοι αυτη η αναπαυσις ενεκεν ακαθαρσιας διεφθαρητε φθορα
11 I wish that I were not a man who has breath, and that I rather spoke a lie. I will drop it down to you in wine and in drunkenness. And it will be this people on whom it will rain down.	11 κατεδιωχθητε ουδενος διωκοντος πνευμα εστησεν ψευδος εσταλαξεν σοι εις οινον και μεθυσμα και εσται εκ της σταγονος του λαου τουτου
12 I will gather together in a congregation all of you, Jacob. I will lead together as one, the remnant of Israel. I will set them together like a flock in the fold, like a sheep in the midst of the sheep pen. They will cause a tumult before the multitude of men.	12 συναγομενος συναχθησεται ιακωβ συν πασιν εκδεχομενος εκδεξομαι τους καταλοιπους του ισραηλ επι το αυτο θησομαι την αποστροφην αυτων ως προβατα εν θλιψει ως ποιμνιον εν μεσω κοιτης αυτων εξαλουνται εξ ανθρωπων
13 For he will ascend, opening the way before them. They will separate, and they will cross the gate and enter through it. And their king will pass by, before their very eyes, and the Lord will be at their head.	13 δια της διακοπης προ προσωπου αυτων διεκοψαν και διηλθον πυλην και εξηλθον δι' αυτης και εξηλθεν ο βασιλευς αυτων προ προσωπου αυτων ο δε κυριος ηγησεται αυτων
