Micah 2

DOUAI-RHEIMS	BIBLIA
1 Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is against God.	1 ¡Ay de aquellos que meditan iniquidad, que traman maldad en sus lechos y al despuntar la mañana lo ejecutan, porque está en poder de sus manos!
2 And they have coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and houses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.	2 Codician campos y los roban, casas, y las usurpan; hacen violencia al hombre y a su casa, al individuo y a su heredad.
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord : Behold, I devise an evil against this family: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not walk haughtily, for this is a very evil time.	3 Por eso, así dice Yahveh: He aquí que yo medito, contra esta ralea, una hora de infortunio de la que no podréis sustraer vuestro cuello. ¡No andaréis con altivez, porque será un tiempo de desgracia!
4 In that day a parable shall be taken up upon you, and a song shall be sung with melody by them that say: We are laid waste and spoiled: the portion of my people is changed: how shall he depart from me, whereas he is returning that will divide our land?	4 Aquel día se proferirá sobre vosotros una sátira, se plañirá una lamentación y se dirá: «¡Estamos despojados del todo; la porción de mi pueblo se ha medido a cordel, y no hay quien restituya; a nuestros saqueadores les tocan nuestros campos!»
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the cord of a lot in the assembly of the Lord.	5 Por eso no habrá para vosotros nadie que tire el cordel sobre un lote en la asamblea de Yahveh.
6 Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall not take them.	6 «¡No babeéis - babean ellos - que no babeen de esa manera! ¡El oprobio no nos alcanzará!
7 The house of Jacob saith: Is the spirit of the Lord straitened, or are these his thoughts? Are not my words good to him that walketh uprightly?	7 ¿Es acaso maldita la casa de Jacob? ¿Se ha cortado el soplo de Yahveh? ¿Es ése su proceder? ¿Es que no favorecen sus palabras a su pueblo Israel?»
8 But my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have taken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless you have turned to war.	8 Sois vosotros los que contra mi pueblo como enemigos os alzáis. Al irreprochable le arrancáis el manto; al que pasa confiado le infligís los desastres de la guerra.
9 You have cast out the women of my people from their houses, in which they took delight: you have taken my praise for ever from their children.	9 A las mujeres de mi pueblo expulsáis de las casas de sus delicias; de sobre sus niños arrancáis mi honor para siempre:
10 Arise ye, and depart, for there is no rest here for you. For that uncleanness of the land, it shall be corrupted with a grievous corruption.	10 «¡Levantaos, marchad, que esta no es hora de reposo! Por una bagatela exigís una prenda agobiante.
11 Would God I were not a man that hath the spirit, and that I rather spoke a lie: I will let drop to thee of wine, and of drunkenness: and it shall be this people upon whom it shall drop.	11 Si un hombre anda al viento, inventando mentiras: «Yo babeo para ti vino y licor», ése será el baboso de este pueblo.
12 I will assemble and gather together all of thee, O Jacob: I will bring together the remnant of Israel, I will put them together as a flock in the fold, as the sheep in the midst of the sheepcotes, they shall make a tumult by reason of the multitude of men.	12 Voy a reunir a Jacob todo entero, voy a recoger al Resto de Israel; los agruparé como ovejas en el aprisco, como rebaño en medio del pastizal, harán estrépito lejos de los hombres.
13 For he shall go up that shall open the way before them: they shall divide, and pass through the gate, and shall come in by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord at the head of them.	13 El que abre brecha subirá delante de ellos; abrirán brecha, pasarán la puerta, y por ella saldrán; su rey pasará delante de ellos, y Yahveh a su cabeza.
