Mikas 2
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
2 Sa 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.
2 At 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.
3 Kaya'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.
4 Sa 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.
5 Kaya't mawawalan ka na ng maghahagis ng pisi na panukat sa pamamagitan ng sapalaran sa kapisanan ng Panginoon.
6 Huwag kayong manganghuhula, ganito sila nanganghuhula. Hindi sila manganghuhula sa mga ito: ang mga kakutyaan ay hindi mapapawi.
7 Sasabihin 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?
8 Nguni'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.
9 Ang 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.
10 Kayo'y magsibangon, at magsiyaon; sapagka't hindi ito ang inyong kapahingahan; dahil sa karumihan na lumilipol sa makatuwid baga'y sa mahigpit na paggiba.
11 Kung 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.
12 Walang 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.
13 Nangunguna 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.
Micah 2
New King James Version
Woe to Evildoers
2 Woe to those who devise iniquity,
And [a]work out evil on their beds!
At (A)morning light they practice it,
Because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They (B)covet fields and take them by violence,
Also houses, and seize them.
So they oppress a man and his house,
A man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
“Behold, against this (C)family I am devising (D)disaster,
From which you cannot remove your necks;
Nor shall you walk haughtily,
For this is an evil time.
4 In that day one shall take up a proverb against you,
And (E)lament with a bitter lamentation, saying:
‘We are utterly destroyed!
He has changed the [b]heritage of my people;
How He has removed it from me!
To [c]a turncoat He has divided our fields.’ ”
5 Therefore you will have no [d]one to determine boundaries by lot
In the assembly of the Lord.
Lying Prophets
6 “Do not prattle,” you say to those who [e]prophesy.
So they shall not prophesy [f]to you;
[g]They shall not return insult for insult.
7 You who are named the house of Jacob:
“Is the Spirit of the Lord restricted?
Are these His doings?
Do not My words do good
To him who walks uprightly?
8 “Lately My people have risen up as an enemy—
You pull off the robe with the garment
From those who trust you, as they pass by,
Like men returned from war.
9 The women of My people you cast out
From their pleasant houses;
From their children
You have taken away My glory forever.
10 “Arise and depart,
For this is not your (F)rest;
Because it is (G)defiled, it shall destroy,
Yes, with utter destruction.
11 If a man should walk in a false spirit
And speak a lie, saying,
‘I will [h]prophesy to you [i]of wine and drink,’
Even he would be the (H)prattler of this people.
Israel Restored
12 “I(I) will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob,
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;
I will put them together (J)like sheep of [j]the fold,
Like a flock in the midst of their pasture;
(K)They shall make a loud noise because of so many people.
13 The one who breaks open will come up before them;
They will break out,
Pass through the gate,
And go out by it;
(L)Their king will pass before them,
(M)With the Lord at their head.”

Micah 2
English Standard Version
Woe to the Oppressors
2 (A)Woe to those who devise wickedness
and work evil (B)on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They covet fields and (C)seize them,
and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
a man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
behold, against (D)this family I am devising disaster,[a]
from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you (E)shall not walk haughtily,
(F)for it will be a time of disaster.
4 In that day (G)they shall take up a taunt song against you
and moan bitterly,
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
(H)he changes the portion of my people;
(I)how he removes it from me!
(J)To an apostate he allots our fields.”
5 Therefore you will have none (K)to cast the line by lot
in the assembly of the Lord.
6 (L)“Do not preach”—thus they preach—
(M)“one should not preach of such things;
(N)disgrace will not overtake us.”
7 Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
(O)Has the Lord grown impatient?[b]
Are these his deeds?
Do not my words do good
to him who walks uprightly?
8 But lately (P)my people have risen up as an enemy;
you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustingly
with no thought of war.[c]
9 The women of my people you drive out
from their delightful houses;
from their young children you take away
my splendor forever.
10 (Q)Arise and go,
for this is no (R)place to rest,
because of (S)uncleanness that destroys
with a grievous destruction.
11 If a man should go about and (T)utter wind and lies,
saying, “I will preach to you (U)of wine and strong drink,”
he would be the preacher for this people!
12 I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob;
(V)I will gather (W)the remnant of Israel;
I will set them together
like sheep in a fold,
(X)like a flock in its pasture,
a noisy multitude of men.
13 (Y)He who opens the breach goes up before them;
they break through and pass the gate,
(Z)going out by it.
Their king passes on before them,
(AA)the Lord at their head.
