Miqueas 2
Riveduta 1927
1Guai a quelli che meditano l’iniquità e macchinano il male sui loro letti, per metterlo ad effetto allo spuntar del giorno, quando ne hanno il potere in mano!
2Agognano dei campi, e li rapiscono; delle case, e se le prendono; così opprimono l’uomo e la sua casa, l’individuo e la sua proprietà.
3Perciò così parla l’Eterno: Ecco, io medito contro questa stirpe un male, al quale non potrete sottrarre il collo; e non camminerete più a test’alta, perché saranno tempi cattivi.
4In quel giorno si farà su di voi un proverbio, si canterà un lamento, e si dirà: “E’ finito! Noi siamo interamente rovinati! Egli passa ad altri la parte del mio popolo! Vedete, com’egli me la toglie! I nostri campi li distribuisce agli infedeli!”
5Perciò tu non avrai più alcuno che tiri la cordicella per far le parti, nelle raunanza dell’Eterno.
6“Non profetate!” Vanno essi ripetendo. Anche se non si profetizzino cotali cose, non si eviterà l’ignominia.
7O tu che porti il nome di casa di Giacobbe, è forse l’Eterno pronto all’ira? E’ questo il suo modo d’agire? Le mie parole non son esse favorevoli a colui che cammina rettamente?
8Ma da qualche tempo il mio popolo insorge come un nemico; voi portate via il mantello di sopra alla veste a quelli che passan tranquillamente, che tornano dalla guerra.
9Voi cacciate le donne del mio popolo dalla case che son la loro delizia; voi rapite per sempre la mia gloria ai loro figliuoletti.
10Levatevi, andatevene! Perché questo non è luogo di riposo; a motivo della sua contaminazione, esso vi distruggerà d’una distruzione orrenda.
11Se uno andasse dietro al vento, e spacciasse menzogne, dicendo: “Io predirò per te vino e bevande forti!” quello sarebbe l’oracolo di questo popolo.
12Io ti radunerò, o Giacobbe, ti radunerò tutto quanto! Certo io raccoglierò il rimanente d’Israele; io li farò venire assieme come pecore in un ovile, come un gregge in mezzo al suo pascolo; il luogo sarà affollato di uomini.
13Chi farà la breccia salirà innanzi a loro; essi faran la breccia, e passeranno per la porta e per essa usciranno, il loro re camminerà davanti a loro, e l’Eterno sarà alla loro testa.
Reina-Valera 1909
1¡AY de los que piensan iniquidad, y de los que fabrican el mal en sus camas! Cuando viene la mañana lo ponen en obra, porque tienen en su mano el poder.
2Y codiciaron las heredades, y robáronlas: y casas, y las tomaron: oprimieron al hombre y á su casa, al hombre y á su heredad.
3Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí, yo pienso sobre esta familia un mal, del cual no sacaréis vuestros cuellos, ni andaréis erguidos; porque el tiempo será malo.
4En aquel tiempo se levantará sobre vosotros refrán, y se endechará endecha de lamentación, diciendo: Del todo fuimos destruídos; ha cambiado la parte de mi pueblo. ¡Cómo nos quitó nuestros campos! dió, repartiólos á otros.
5Por tanto, no tendrás quien eche cordel para suerte en la congregación de Jehová.
6No profeticéis, dicen á los que profetizan; no les profeticen que los ha de comprender vergüenza.
7La que te dices casa de Jacob, ¿hase acortado el espíritu de Jehová? ¿son éstas sus obras? ¿Mis palabras no hacen bien al que camina derechamente?
8El que ayer era mi pueblo, se ha levantado como enemigo: tras las vestiduras quitasteis las capas atrevidamente á los que pasaban, como los que vuelven de la guerra.
9A las mujeres de mi pueblo echasteis fuera de las casas de sus delicias: á sus niños quitasteis mi perpetua alabanza.
10Levantaos, y andad, que no es ésta la holganza; porque está contaminada, corrompióse, y de grande corrupción.
11Si hubiere alguno que ande con el viento, y finja mentiras diciendo: Yo te profetizaré de vino y de sidra; este tal será profeta á este pueblo.
12De cierto te reuniré todo, oh Jacob: recogeré ciertamente el resto de Israel: pondrélo junto como ovejas de Bosra, como rebaño en mitad de su majada: harán estruendo por la multitud de los hombres.
13Subirá rompedor delante de ellos; romperán y pasarán la puerta, y saldrán por ella: y su rey pasará delante de ellos, y á la cabeza de ellos Jehová.
King James Version
1Woe 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.
2And 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.
3Therefore 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.
4In 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.
5Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
6Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7O 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?
8Even 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.
9The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11If 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.
12I 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.
13The 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.
World English Bible
1Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly.
6“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
7Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the LORD’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
12I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
13He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with the LORD at their head.
