Micah 2

وَيْلٌ لِلْمُفْتَكِرِينَ بِالْبُطْلِ، وَالصَّانِعِينَ الشَّرَّ عَلَى مَضَاجِعِهِمْ! فِي نُورِ الصَّبَاحِ يَفْعَلُونَهُ لأَنَّهُ فِي قُدْرَةِ يَدِهِمْ.

Woe 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.

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَشْتَهُونَ الْحُقُولَ وَيَغْتَصِبُونَهَا، وَالْبُيُوتَ وَيَأْخُذُونَهَا، وَيَظْلِمُونَ الرَّجُلَ وَبَيْتَهُ وَالإِنْسَانَ وَمِيرَاثَهُ.

And 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.

لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «هأَنَذَا أَفْتَكِرُ عَلَى هذِهِ الْعَشِيرَةِ بِشَرّ لاَ تُزِيلُونَ مِنْهُ أَعْنَاقَكُمْ، وَلاَ تَسْلُكُونَ بِالتَّشَامُخِ لأَنَّهُ زَمَانٌ رَدِيءٌ.

Therefore 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.

«فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُنْطَقُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَجْوٍ وَيُرْثَى بِمَرْثَاةٍ، وَيُقَالُ: خَرِبْنَا خَرَابًا. بَدَلَ نَصِيبِ شَعْبِي. كَيْفَ يَنْزِعُهُ عَنِّي؟ يَقْسِمُ لِلْمُرْتَدِّ حُقُولَنَا».

In 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.

لِذلِكَ لاَ يَكُونُ لَكَ مَنْ يُلْقِي حَبْلاً فِي نَصِيبٍ بَيْنَ جَمَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ.

Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.

يَتَنَبَّأُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «لاَ تَتَنَبَّأُوا». لاَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ عَنْ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ. لاَ يَزُولُ الْعَارُ.

Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.

أَيُّهَا الْمُسَمَّى بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَلْ قَصُرَتْ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ؟ أَهذِهِ أَفْعَالُهُ؟ «أَلَيْسَتْ أَقْوَالِي صَالِحَةً نَحْوَ مَنْ يَسْلُكُ بِالاسْتِقَامَةِ؟

O 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?

وَلكِنْ بِالأَمْسِ قَامَ شَعْبِي كَعَدُوٍّ. تَنْزِعُونَ الرِّدَاءَ عَنِ الثَّوْبِ مِنَ الْمُجْتَازِينَ بِالطُّمَأْنِينَةِ، وَمِنَ الرَّاجِعِينَ مِنَ الْقِتَالِ.

Even 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.

تَطْرُدُونَ نِسَاءَ شَعْبِي مِنْ بَيْتِ تَنَعُّمِهِنَّ. تَأْخُذُونَ عَنْ أَطْفَالِهِنَّ زِينَتِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.

«قُومُوا وَاذْهَبُوا، لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ هذِهِ هِيَ الرَّاحَةَ. مِنْ أَجْلِ نَجَاسَةٍ تُهْلِكُ وَالْهَلاَكُ شَدِيدٌ.

Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.

لَوْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ وَهُوَ سَالِكٌ بِالرِّيحِ وَالْكَذِبِ يَكْذِبُ قَائِلاً: أَتَنَبَّأُ لَكَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمُسْكِرِ لَكَانَ هُوَ نَبِيَّ هذَا الشَّعْبِ!

If 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.

«إِنِّي أَجْمَعُ جَمِيعَكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ. أَضُمُّ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَضَعُهُمْ مَعًا كَغَنَمِ الْحَظِيرَةِ، كَقَطِيعٍ فِي وَسَطِ مَرْعَاهُ يَضِجُّ مِنَ النَّاسِ.

I 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.

قَدْ صَعِدَ الْفَاتِكُ أَمَامَهُمْ. يَقْتَحِمُونَ وَيَعْبُرُونَ مِنَ الْبَابِ، وَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهُ، وَيَجْتَازُ مَلِكُهُمْ أَمَامَهُمْ، وَالرَّبُّ فِي رَأْسِهِمْ».

The 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.
