Miqueas

Miqueas 1

1:1	A palabra do Señor que chegou a Miqueas o morexetita, nos días de Iotán, Ahaz, e Ezequías, reis de Xudá, que viu sobre Samaria e Xerusalén.
1:2	Todos os pobos, escoita. E que preste atención á terra e á súa plenitude. E que o Señor Deus sexa testemuña de ti, o Señor dende o seu santo templo.
1:3	Pois velaquí, o Señor sairá do seu lugar. E descenderá, e pisará os lugares altos da terra.
1:4	E as montañas serán consumidas baixo el, e os vales serán destrozados, como a cera ante a cara do lume, e como augas que corren axiña cara abaixo.
1:5	Todo isto é pola maldade de Xacob e polos pecados da casa de Israel. Cal é a maldade de Xacob? Non é Samaria?? E cal é a soberbia de Xudá? Non é Xerusalén??
1:6	E poñerei a Samaria coma unha morea de pedras no campo, cando se planta unha viña. E tirarei as súas pedras ao val, e revelarei os seus fundamentos.
1:7	E todas as súas imaxes gravadas serán cortadas en anacos, e todas as súas recompensas serán queimadas con lume, e poñerei todos os seus ídolos na perdición. Porque foron reunidos co soldo dunha muller gardada, e mesmo ao soldo dunha muller mantida, volverán.
1:8	Lamentareime e lamentareime por isto. Sairei despojado e espido. Vou facer un ouveo coma os dragóns, e un loito coma os avestruces.
1:9	Pois a súa ferida estivo na desesperación. Porque chegou ata Xudá. Tocou a porta do meu pobo, mesmo a Xerusalén.
1:10	Non estea disposto a anuncialo en Gath; que non te lamentes con bágoas. Na casa do Po, salpicade-vos de po.
1:11	E cruza ao teu lugar de residencia, Beleza, desconcertado pola desgraza. Ela non partiu, que habita no lugar de partida. A casa preto, que se mantivo firme por si mesma, recibirá loito de ti.
1:12	Porque ela foi debilitada en bondade, que habita na amargura. Porque o desastre baixou do Señor á porta de Xerusalén.
1:13	Un tumulto de carros de catro cabalos atónitou aos habitantes de Laquix. O principio foi o pecado para a filla de Sión, porque en ti se atoparon as malas accións de Israel.
1:14	Por isto, enviará emisarios á herdanza de Gath: a casa de Mentir para enganar aos reis de Israel.
1:15	Con todo, Vou levar un herdeiro para ti, que habitan en Mareshah: a gloria de Israel chegará ata Adulam.
1:16	Fai calvo e rape para os teus fillos delicados. Aumenta a túa calvicie como a aguia. Porque foron levados a catividade de ti.

Miqueas 2

2:1	Ai de vós que inventades cousas inútiles e que facedes o mal nos vosos leitos. Á luz da mañá, emprendeno, porque a súa man está contra Deus.
2:2	E eles desexaron campos e tomáronos pola violencia, e roubaron casas. E fixeron acusacións falsas contra un home e a súa casa, un home e a súa herdanza.
2:3	Por esta razón, así di o Señor: Velaquí, Planteo un mal contra esta familia, do que non lle roubarás o pescozo. E non andarás na soberbia, porque este é o momento máis malo.
2:4	Nese día, será unha parábola sobre ti, e cantarase unha canción con dozura, dicindo: "Fomos devastados polo despoboamento". O destino do meu pobo foi alterado. Como pode retirarse de min, cando podería ser devolto, quen pode destrozar o noso país?
2:5	Por isto, non haberá para ti ningún lanzamento do cordón do destino na asemblea do Señor.
2:6	Non fales dicindo, "Non vai caer sobre estes; a vergoña non os abrazará”.
2:7	A casa de Xacob di, "O Espírito do Señor foi debilitado, ou tales cousas son os seus pensamentos?” Non son boas as miñas palabras para quen anda recto?
2:8	Pero, ao contrario, o meu pobo levantouse na oposición. Levantaches a tapa da roupa interior, e os que pasaron inofensivos, convertécheste en guerra.
2:9	Desaloxaches as mulleres do meu pobo das súas delicadas casas. Levaches para sempre os meus eloxios dos seus pequenos.
2:10	Levántate e parte, porque aquí non hai alivio para ti. Pola súa impureza, corromperase cunha decadencia malvada.
2:11	Gustaríame non ser un home que teña alento, e que máis ben dixen unha mentira. Deixareino no viño e na borracheira. E será este pobo sobre o que choverá.
2:12	Reunireivos a todos nunha congregación, Xacobe. Vou levar xuntos coma un só, o remanente de Israel. Xuntareinos coma un rabaño no redil, coma unha ovella no medio do corral das ovellas. Causarán un tumulto ante a multitude de homes.
2:13	Pois el ascenderá, abrindo o camiño ante eles. Separarán, e cruzarán a porta e entrarán por ela. E o seu rei pasará, ante os seus mesmos ollos, e o Señor estará á cabeza deles.

Miqueas 3

3:1	E eu dixen: Escoita, xefes de Xacob e xefes da casa de Israel. Non lle corresponde coñecer o xuízo,
3:2	ti que gardas o odio para ben, e ama o mal, que rouban violentamente as súas peles sobre eles e a súa carne por encima dos seus ósos?
3:3	Devoraron a carne do meu pobo, e desposuíronlles a pel, e esnaquizáronlles e picaron os ósos, coma para a chaleira, e coma carne no medio da pota.
3:4	Entón clamarán ao Señor, e non lles fará caso. E esconderalles o seu rostro nese tempo, igual que actuaron malamente cos seus inventos.
3:5	Así di o Señor sobre os profetas que seducen ao meu pobo: Morden cos dentes e predican a paz, e se alguén non lle dá algo á boca, santifican unha batalla contra el.
3:6	Por isto, a noite será túa para a visión, e a túa escuridade para adiviñar, e o sol atoparase coa morte sobre os profetas, e o día escurecerase sobre eles.
3:7	E os que vexan visións quedarán confusos, e os adiviños serán confusos. E todos taparán a cara, porque non hai resposta de Deus.
3:8	Con todo, verdadeiramente fun cheo da forza do Espírito do Señor, con criterio e virtude, para anunciarlle a Xacob a súa maldade e a Israel o seu pecado.
3:9	Escoita isto, xefes da casa de Xacob e xuíces da casa de Israel, ti que abominas o xuízo e pervirtes todo o recto.
3:10	Con sangue edificas Sion, e Xerusalén coa iniquidade.
3:11	Os seus líderes xulgaron polas homenaxes, e os seus sacerdotes ensinaron por pago, e os seus profetas adiviñaron por diñeiro. E apoiáronse no Señor, dicindo: “Non está o Señor entre nós? Ningún desastre nos vencerá".
3:12	Por esta razón, por ti, Sión será arada como un campo, e Xerusalén converterase como un montón de pedras, e a montaña do templo coma os altos dos bosques.

Miqueas 4

4:1	E isto será: Nos últimos días, o monte da casa do Señor estará preparado no cumio dos montes e no alto dos outeiros. E a xente vai fluír a el.
4:2	E moitas nacións apuraranse, e dirá: "Veña, subamos ao monte do Señor e á casa do Deus de Xacob. E ensinaranos os seus camiños, e camiñaremos polos seus camiños”. Porque a lei sairá de Sión, e a palabra do Señor dende Xerusalén.
4:3	E xulgará entre os moitos pobos, e corrixirá ás nacións fortes, mesmo de lonxe. E cortarán as súas espadas en arados, e as súas lanzas en aixadas. A nación non levará a espada contra a nación, e xa non aprenderán a facer a guerra.
4:4	E un home sentarase debaixo da súa vide e debaixo da súa figueira, e non haberá quen temer, porque a boca do Señor dos exércitos falou.
4:5	Pois todas as persoas andarán, cada un no nome do seu deus. Pero nós andaremos no nome do Señor, noso Deus, Por sempre e para sempre.
4:6	Nese día, di o Señor, Xuntarei os coxos. E recuperarei a quen rexeitara, e ela a quen aflixira.
4:7	E poñerei o coxo dentro do remanente, e ela que estivera en apuros, within a healthy people. And the Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion, from the present time and even unto eternity.
4:8	And you, cloudy tower of the flock of the daughter of Zion, even to you it will come. And the first power will arrive, the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.
4:9	Agora, why have you come together in grief? Is there not a king in you, or has your counselor gone away? For sorrow has overtaken you, like the pain of giving birth.
4:10	Be grieved and overwhelmed, daughter of Zion, like a woman giving birth. For now you must depart from the city and dwell in the countryside, and you will approach even to Babylon. There you will be delivered. There the Lord will redeem you from the hand of your adversaries.
4:11	And now many peoples have been gathered together against you, and they say, “Let her be stoned and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”
4:12	But they have not known the thoughts of the Lord, and they have not understood his counsel. For he has gathered them together like hay on a threshing floor.
4:13	Rise and thresh, daughter of Zion. For I will set your horn like iron, and I will set your hoofs like brass. And you will shatter many peoples, and you will immolate their spoils for the Lord, and their strength for the Lord of the whole earth.

Miqueas 5

5:1	Now you will be devastated, you daughter of a robber. They have placed a blockade against us, with a rod they will strike the jaw of the judge of Israel.
5:2	And you, Bethlehem Ephrata, are a little one among the thousands of Judah. From you will go forth he who shall be the ruler in Israel, and his landing place has been set from the beginning, from the days of eternity.
5:3	Por isto, he will provide for them, even until the time in which she who bears him gives birth. And the remnant of his brothers will be converted to the sons of Israel.
5:4	And he will stand firm and feed on the strength of the Lord, according to the sublime name of the Lord his God. And they will be converted, for now he will be magnified, even to the ends of the earth.
5:5	And this man will be our peace, when the Assyrian will come into our land, and when he will trample on our houses; and we will raise against him seven shepherds and eight principal men.
5:6	And they will graze on the land of Assur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with its spears; and he will free us from Assur, when he will come into our land, and when he will trample our borders.
5:7	And there will be a remnant of Jacob in the midst of many peoples, like a dew from the Lord and like drops upon the grass, which awaits no man and does not stand before the sons of men.
5:8	And there will be a remnant of Jacob within the Gentiles, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forests, and like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, OMS, when he will pass through and trample down and seize, there is none who can rescue.
5:9	Your hand will be exalted over your enemies, and all your adversaries will pass away.
5:10	And it will be in that day, di o Señor: I will take away your horses from your midst, and I will utterly ruin your four-horse chariots.
5:11	And I will destroy the cities of your land, and I will pull down all your fortifications, and I will take away evil-doing from your hand, and there will be no divinations among you.
5:12	And I will cause your graven images to perish, and your statues, from your midst. And you will no longer adore the works of your hands.
5:13	And I will root out your sacred groves from your midst, and I will crush your cities.
5:14	And I will exact vengeance, in fury and in indignation, among all the nations which have not listened.

Miqueas 6

6:1	Listen to what the Lord says: Rise, contend in judgment against the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
6:2	Let the mountains listen to the judgment of the Lord, and the strong foundations of the earth. For the judgment of the Lord is with his people, and he will enter into judgment with Israel.
6:3	My people, what have I done to you, or how have I assailed you? Respond to me.
6:4	For I led you out of the land of Egypt, and I freed you from the house of servitude, and I sent before your face Moses, and Aaron, and Miriam.
6:5	My people, remember, I ask you, what Balak the king of Moab planned, and how Balaam the son of Beor responded to him, from Shittim even to Gilgal, so that you may know the justice of the Lord.
6:6	What worthy thing might I offer to the Lord, as I bend the knee before God on high? How could I offer holocausts to him, and one year-old calves?
6:7	Would the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with many thousands of fat he-goats? How could I give up my firstborn because of my evil deed, the fruit of my womb because of the sin of my soul?
6:8	I will reveal to you, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requires from you, and how to act with judgment, and to love mercy, and to walk carefully with your God.
6:9	The voice of the Lord cries out to the city, “Listen, you tribes,” and who will confirm it? And salvation will be for those who fear your name.
6:10	Con todo, there is a fire in the house of the impious, the treasury of iniquity, and a small measure, filled with wrath.
6:11	Shall I justify unfaithful balances, and the deceitful weighing of a small bag?
6:12	By this, her wealthy have been filled with iniquity, and her inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue was deceitful in their mouth.
6:13	And I, polo tanto, began to strike you with perdition because of your sins.
6:14	You will consume and not be satisfied, and your humiliation will be in your midst. And you will take hold, and not save, and those whom you will save, I will deliver to the sword.
6:15	You will sow, and not reap. You will tread the olives, and not be anointed with oil, and crush the grapes, and not drink the wine.
6:16	For you have kept the precepts of Omri, and all the works of the house of Ahab. And you have walked according their wills, so that I should give you over to perdition and its hissing inhabitants, and you would carry the disgrace of my people.

Miqueas 7

7:1	Woe to me, for I have become just like one who gleans the clusters of the vintage in autumn. There is no cluster of grapes to consume; my soul desired figs out of season.
7:2	The holy ones pass away from the land, and there is no one righteous among men. All wait in ambush for blood; a man hunts his brother to death.
7:3	The evil of their hands, they call good. The leader is demanding, and the judge is yielding, and the great is speaking the desire of his soul, and they have confused it.
7:4	Whoever is best among them is like a thorny plant, and he who is righteous is like a thorny hedge. The day of your inspection, your visitation, arrives. Now will be their ruination.
7:5	Do not be willing to believe a friend. And do not be willing to confide in a commander. From her, who sleeps in your bosom, keep the doors of your mouth closed.
7:6	For the son acts with contempt for the father, and the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and a man’s enemies are those of his own household.
7:7	But I will look towards the Lord. I will wait for God, my Savior. My God will hear me.
7:8	Ti, my enemy, should not rejoice over me because I have fallen. I will rise up, when I sit in darkness. The Lord is my light.
7:9	I will carry the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he may judge my case and execute judgment for me. He will lead me into the light. I will behold his justice.
7:10	And my enemy will look, and she will be covered with confusion, she who says to me, “Where is the Lord your God?” My eyes will look upon her. Now she will be trampled under foot like the mud of the streets.
7:11	The day that your walls will be rebuilt, in that day the law will be far away.
7:12	In that day also, they will come towards you even from Assur, and even to the fortified cities, and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
7:13	And the land will be in desolation, because of its inhabitants and because of the fruit of their intentions.
7:14	With your rod, pasture your people, the flock of your inheritance, living alone in the narrow forest, in the midst of Carmel. They will graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the ancient days.
7:15	As in the days of your departure from the land of Egypt, I will reveal miracles to him.
7:16	The nations will look, and they will be confounded at the strength of them all. They will place hand over mouth; their ears will be deaf.
7:17	They will lick the dust like serpents, e, like the creeping things of the earth, they will be disturbed in their houses. They will dread the Lord our God, and they will fear you.
7:18	What God is like you, who takes away iniquity and passes over the sin of the remnant of your inheritance? No longer will he send forth his fury, because he is willing to be merciful.
7:19	He will turn back and have mercy on us. He will put away our iniquities, and he will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
7:20	You will give the truth to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, which you swore to our fathers from the ancient days.
