ميخا 4

١ 1 وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يُصْبِحُ أَشْهَرَ الْجِبَالِ، وَيَعْلُو فَوْقَ كُلِّ التِّلالِ، فَتَتَقَاطَرُ إِلَيْهِ شُعُوبٌ عَدِيدَةٌ،

But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it.

٢ 2 وَتُقْبِلُ إِلَيْهِ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ قَائِلَةً: «تَعَالَوْا لِنَصْعَدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، إِلَى هَيْكَلِ يَعْقُوبَ لِيُعَلِّمَنَا طُرُقَهُ فَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ، لأَنَّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ الشَّرِيعَةُ وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تُذَاعُ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ».

Many nations will go and say, "Come, 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 will go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem;

٣ 3 فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الْكَثِيرَةِ وَيُمْلِي أَحْكَامَهُ بِعَدْلٍ عَلَى أُمَمٍ قَوِيَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، فَيَصْنَعُونَ مِنْ سُيُوفِهِمْ أَسِنَّةَ مَحَارِيثَ، وَمِنْ رِمَاحِهِمْ مَنَاجِلَ حَصَادٍ، فَلا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفاً وَلا يَتَلَقَّنُونَ فُنُونَ الْحَرْبِ بَعْدُ.

and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more.

٤ 4 بَلْ يَجْلِسُ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ تَحْتَ كَرْمِهِ وَتَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ تِينَتِهِ وَلا يُرْعِبُهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ بَعْدُ، لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.

But they will sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and no one will make them afraid: For the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.

٥ 5 فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ تَسْلُكُ بِاسْمِ إِلَهِهَا، أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَسْلُكُ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ.

Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.

٦ 6 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أَجْمَعُ الْعُرْجَ، وَأَضُمُّ الْمَطْرُودِينَ وَكُلَّ الَّذِينَ أَنْزَلْتُ بِهِمِ الْبَلاءَ.

"In that day," says the LORD, "I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;

٧ 7 فَأَجْعَلُ مِنَ الْعُرْجِ بَقِيَّةً، وَمِنَ الْمَنْبُوذِينَ أُمَّةً قَوِيَّةً، فَيَمْلِكُ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ.

and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever."

٨ 8 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا بُرْجَ الْقَطِيعِ، يَا تَلَّةَ ابْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ، إِلَيْكِ يَعُودُ الْحُكْمُ الأَوَّلُ، مُلْكُ ابْنَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And you, tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

٩ 9 لِمَاذَا تَنُوحِينَ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ؟ أَلَيْسَ فِيكِ مَلِكٌ؟ هَلْ هَلَكَ مُشِيرُكِ حَتَّى أَلَمَّ بِكِ الأَلَمُ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ.

Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pain has gripped you like a woman in labor?

١٠ 10 تَلَوَّيْ وَجَعاً وَتَأَوَّهِي يَا ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُعَانِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ، لأَنَّكِ الآنَ تَخْرُجِينَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ لِتُقِيمِي فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. سَتَذْهَبِينَ إِلَى بَابِلَ، وَهُنَاكَ يَتِمُّ إِنْقَاذُكِ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَفْتَدِيكِ هُنَاكَ مِنْ أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِكِ.

Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go forth out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.

١١ 11 وَالآنَ هَا أُمَمٌ غَفِيرَةٌ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَيْكِ قَائِلَةً: «لِتَتَدَنَّسْ أُورُشَلِيمُ حَتَّى تَتَفَرَّسَ عُيُونُنَا فِي خَرَابِهَا».

Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion."

١٢ 12 لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا نَوَايَا الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَقَاصِدَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ جَمَعَهُمْ كَأَكْدَاسٍ إِلَى الْبَيْدَرِ لِيُعَاقِبَهُمْ.

But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.

١٣ 13 فَانْهَضِي يَا ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ وَادْرُسِي أَعْدَاءَكِ، لأَنِّي سَأَجْعَلُ لَكِ قَرْناً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَأَظْلافاً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ فَتَسْحَقِينَ أُمَماً كَثِيرَةً، وَتُكَرِّسِينَ كُلَّ مَا تَغْنَمِينَهُ مِنْهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ، وَتُقَدِّمِينَ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ لِسَيِّدِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.

Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze; and you will beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
