Mikas 2

1Sa aba nila na humahaka ng kasamaan, at nagsisigawa ng kasamaan sa kanilang mga higaan! pagliliwanag sa umaga, ay kanilang isinasagawa, sapagka't nasa kapangyarihan ng kanilang kamay. 2At sila'y nangagiimbot ng mga bukid, at kanilang inaangkin; at ng mga bahay, at inaalis: at kanilang pinipighati ang isang tao at ang kaniyang sangbahayan, ang tao, at ang kaniyang mana. 3Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Narito, laban sa angkang ito ay humahaka ako ng isang kasamaan na doo'y hindi ninyo maaalis ang inyong mga leeg, ni makalalakad man ng kahambugan; sapagka't isang masamang panahon. 4Sa araw na yaon ay magsisisambit sila ng talinhaga laban sa inyo, at mangananaghoy ng kakilakilabot na panaghoy, at mangagsasabi, Kami ay lubos na nasira: kaniyang binabago ang bahagi ng aking bayan; ano't inilalayo niya sa akin! sa mga manghihimagsik kaniyang binahagi ang aming mga bukid. 5Kaya't mawawalan ka na ng maghahagis ng pisi na panukat sa pamamagitan ng sapalaran sa kapisanan ng Panginoon. 6Huwag kayong manganghuhula, ganito sila nanganghuhula. Hindi sila manganghuhula sa mga ito: ang mga kakutyaan ay hindi mapapawi. 7Sasabihin baga Oh sangbahayan ni Jacob, Ang Espiritu baga ng Panginoon ay nagipit? ang mga ito baga ang kaniyang mga gawa? Di baga ang aking mga salita ay nagsisigawa ng mabuti sa nagsisilakad ng matuwid? 8Nguni't kamakailan na ang aking bayan ay bumangon na wari kaaway: inyong hinuhubad ang suot na kalakip ng balabal sa nagsisidaang tiwasay na parang mga lalaking nagsisipanggaling sa digma. 9Ang mga babae ng aking bayan ay inyong pinalalayas sa kanilang mga masayang bahay; sa kanilang mga bata ay inyong inaalis ang aking kaluwalhatian magpakailan man. 10Kayo'y magsibangon, at magsiyaon; sapagka't hindi ito ang inyong kapahingahan; dahil sa karumihan na lumilipol sa makatuwid baga'y sa mahigpit na paggiba. 11Kung ang isang taong lumalakad sa espiritu ng kabulaanan ay nagsisinungaling, na nagsasabi, Ako'y manghuhula sa iyo tungkol sa alak at matapang na inumin; siya nga'y magiging propeta sa bayang ito. 12Walang pagsalang aking pipisanin, Oh Jacob, ang lahat ng iyo; aking pipisaning walang pagsala ang nalabi sa Israel: akin silang ilalagay na magkakasama na parang mga tupa sa Bosra, na parang kawan sa gitna ng pastulan sa kanila; sila'y magkakaingay ng di kawasa dahil sa karamihan ng tao. 13Nangunguna sa kanila yaong nagbubukas ng daan: sila'y nagbukas ng daan at nagsidaan sa pintuang-bayan, at nagsilabas doon; at ang kanilang hari ay nagpauna sa kanila, at ang Panginoon sa unahan nila.

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, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. 3Therefore thus says Yahweh: “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 Yahweh’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 Spirit of Yahweh 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: “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink”; he would be the prophet of this people. 12I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst 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. And their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.

1Wee dien, die ongerechtigheid bedenken, en kwaad werken op hun legers; in het licht van den morgenstond doen zij het, dewijl het in de macht van hunlieder hand is. 2En zij begeren akkers, en roven ze, en huizen, en nemen ze weg; alzo doen zij geweld aan den man en zijn huis, ja, aan een iegelijk en zijn erfenis. 3Daarom, alzo zegt de HEERE: Ziet, Ik denk een kwaad over dit geslacht, waaruit gijlieden uw halzen niet zult uittrekken, en zult zo rechtop niet gaan; want het zal een boze tijd zijn. 4Te dien dage zal men een spreekwoord over ulieden opnemen; en men zal een klagelijke klacht klagen, en zeggen: Wij zijn ten enenmale verwoest; Hij verwisselt mijns volks deel; hoe ontwendt Hij mij; Hij deelt uit, afwendende onze akkers. 5Daarom zult gij niemand hebben, die het snoer werpe in het lot, in de gemeente des HEEREN. 6Profeteert gijlieden niet, zeggen zij, laat die profeteren; zij profeteren niet als die; men wijkt niet af van smaadheden. 7O gij, die Jakobs huis geheten zijt! Is dan de Geest des HEEREN verkort? Zijn dat Zijn werken? Doen Mijn woorden geen goed bij dien, die recht wandelt? 8Maar gisteren stelde zich Mijn volk op, tot vijand, tegenover een kleed; gij stroopt een mantel van degenen, die zeker voorbijgaan, wederkomende van den strijd. 9De vrouwen Mijns volks verdrijft gij, elkeen uit het huis van haar vermakingen; van haar kinderkens neemt gij Mijn sieraad in eeuwigheid. 10Maakt u dan op, en gaat henen; want dit land zal de rust niet zijn; omdat het verontreinigd is, zal het u verderven, en dat met een geweldige verderving. 11Zo er iemand is, die met wind omgaat, en valselijk liegt, zeggende: Ik zal u profeteren voor wijn en voor sterken drank! dat is een profeet dezes volks. 12Voorzeker zal Ik u, o Jakob! gans verzamelen; voorzeker zal Ik Israels overblijfsel vergaderen; Ik zal het te zamen zetten als schapen van Bozra; als een kudde in het midden van haar kooi zullen zij van mensen deunen. 13De doorbreker zal voor hun aangezicht optrekken; zij zullen doorbreken, en door de poort gaan, en door dezelve uittrekken; en hun koning zal voor hun aangezicht henengaan; en de HEERE in hun spits.
