1 A y de los que en sus camas piensan iniquidad y maquinan el mal, y cuando llega la mañana lo ejecutan, porque tienen en su mano el poder!

¶ Woe unto those that devise iniquity and fabricate evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they put it into effect because they have power in their hands.

2 C odician las heredades, y las roban; y casas, y las toman; oprimen al hombre y a su casa, al hombre y a su heredad.

And they coveted fields and stole them, and houses and took them away; so they oppressed the man and his house, even the man and his heritage.

3 P or tanto, así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí, yo pienso contra esta familia un mal del cual no sacaréis vuestros cuellos, ni andaréis erguidos; porque el tiempo será malo.

Therefore thus hath the LORD said; Behold, I devise an evil against this family, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye walk haughtily; for the time shall be evil.

4 E n aquel tiempo levantarán sobre vosotros refrán, y se hará endecha de lamentación, diciendo: Del todo fuimos destruidos; él ha cambiado la porción de mi pueblo.!! Cómo nos quitó nuestros campos! Los dio y los repartió a otros.

In that time shall one take up a saying against you and lament with a doleful lamentation and say, We have been utterly destroyed; he has changed the portion of my people; how has he taken our fields! He has given and divided our fields unto others.

5 P or tanto, no habrá quien a suerte reparta heredades en la congregación de Jehová.

Therefore thou shalt have no one to cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.

6 N o profeticéis, dicen a los que profetizan; no les profeticen, porque no les alcanzará verg: uenza.

¶ Do not prophesy, they say to those that prophesy: Do not prophesy unto them that they are to understand shame.

7 T ú que te dices casa de Jacob, ¿se ha acortado el Espíritu de Jehová? ¿Son estas sus obras? ¿No hacen mis palabras bien al que camina rectamente?

O thou that calls thyself the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD shortened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walks uprightly?

8 E l que ayer era mi pueblo, se ha levantado como enemigo; de sobre el vestido quitasteis las capas atrevidamente a los que pasaban, como adversarios de guerra.

He who yesterday was my people is risen up as an enemy; ye pull off the robe with the garment from those that pass by as those who return from war.

9 A las mujeres de mi pueblo echasteis fuera de las casas que eran su delicia; a sus niños quitasteis mi perpetua alabanza.

Ye have cast the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their children ye have taken away my continual praise.

10 L evantaos y andad, porque no es este el lugar de reposo, pues está contaminado, corrompido grandemente.

Arise and depart, for this is not your rest because it is polluted; it has become corrupted and with a great corruption.

11 S i alguno andando con espíritu de falsedad mintiere diciendo: Yo te profetizaré de vino y de sidra; este tal será el profeta de este pueblo.

If there is one walking in the spirit of falsehood, he shall lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

12 D e cierto te juntaré todo, oh Jacob; recogeré ciertamente el resto de Israel; lo reuniré como ovejas de Bosra, como rebaño en medio de su aprisco; harán estruendo por la multitud de hombres.

¶ 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.

13 S ubirá el que abre caminos delante de ellos; abrirán camino y pasarán la puerta, y saldrán por ella; y su rey pasará delante de ellos, y a la cabeza de ellos Jehová.

The breaker shall go up before them; they shall break through and pass through the gate and go out by it; and their king shall pass before them, the LORD at the head of them.
