مِيخَا 4

١ 1 وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا فِي رَأْسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ فَوْقَ ٱلتِّلَالِ، وَتَجْرِي إِلَيْهِ شُعُوبٌ.

But in the end of days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established as the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it.

٢ 2 وَتَسِيرُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَيَقُولُونَ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَإِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ، فَيُعَلِّمَنَا مِنْ طُرُقِهِ، وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ». لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And many nations shall go and say: 'Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths'; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

٣ 3 فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ. يُنْصِفُ لِأُمَمٍ قَوِيَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، فَيَطْبَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ سِكَكًا، وَرِمَاحَهُمْ مَنَاجِلَ. لَا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفًا، وَلَا يَتَعَلَّمُونَ ٱلْحَرْبَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.

And He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide concerning mighty nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

٤ 4 بَلْ يَجْلِسُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ تَحْتَ كَرْمَتِهِ وَتَحْتَ تِينَتِهِ، وَلَا يَكُونُ مَنْ يُرْعِبُ، لِأَنَّ فَمَ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ تَكَلَّمَ.

But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ يَسْلُكُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِٱسْمِ إِلَهِهِ، وَنَحْنُ نَسْلُكُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

For let all the peoples walk each one in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

٦ 6 «فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَجْمَعُ ٱلظَّالِعَةَ، وَأَضُمُّ ٱلْمَطْرُودَةَ، وَٱلَّتِي أَضْرَرْتُ بِهَا

In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven away, and her that I have afflicted;

٧ 7 وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلظَّالِعَةَ بَقِيَّةً، وَٱلْمُقْصَاةَ أُمَّةً قَوِيَّةً، وَيَمْلِكُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ مِنَ ٱلْآنَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a mighty nation; and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from thenceforth even for ever.

٨ 8 وَأَنْتَ يَا بُرْجَ ٱلْقَطِيعِ، أَكَمَةَ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ إِلَيْكِ يَأْتِي. وَيَجِيءُ ٱلْحُكْمُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ مُلْكُ بِنْتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ».

And thou, Migdal-eder, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come; yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

٩ 9 اَلْآنَ لِمَاذَا تَصْرُخِينَ صُرَاخًا؟ أَلَيْسَ فِيكِ مَلِكٌ، أَمْ هَلَكَ مُشِيرُكِ حَتَّى أَخَذَكِ وَجَعٌ كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ؟

Now why dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no King in thee, is thy Counsellor perished, that pangs have taken hold of thee as of a woman in travail?

١٠ 10 تَلَوَّيِ، ٱدْفَعِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ، لِأَنَّكِ ٱلْآنَ تَخْرُجِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَتَسْكُنِينَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَتَأْتِينَ إِلَى بَابِلَ. هُنَاكَ تُنْقَذِينَ. هُنَاكَ يَفْدِيكِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِكِ.

Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Babylon; there shalt thou be rescued; there shall the LORD redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

١١ 11 وَٱلْآنَ قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَيْكِ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ: «لِتَتَدَنَّسْ وَلْتَتَفَرَّسْ عُيُونُنَا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ».

And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say: 'Let her be defiled, and let our eye gaze upon Zion.'

١٢ 12 وَهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَفْكَارَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ قَصْدَهُ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ جَمَعَهُمْ كَحُزَمٍ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْدَرِ.

But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they His counsel; for He hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor.

١٣ 13 «قُومِي وَدُوسِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنِّي أَجْعَلُ قَرْنَكِ حَدِيدًا، وَأَظْلَافَكِ أَجْعَلُهَا نُحَاسًا، فَتَسْحَقِينَ شُعُوبًا كَثِيرِينَ، وَأُحَرِّمُ غَنِيمَتَهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ، وَثَرْوَتَهُمْ لِسَيِّدِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ».

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples; and thou shalt devote their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
