彌迦書 4
1 到末日，上主火聖殿山必要矗立在群山之上，超乎一切山岳，萬民都要向它湧來；
But it shall come to pass in the last days That the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established at the head of the mountains, And exalted above the hills; And the nations shall flow to it.
2 將有許多民族前來說：「來，我們攀登上主的聖山，往雅各伯天主的殿裏去! 衪必指示我們衪的道路，教給我們循行衪的途徑，因為法律將出自熙雍，上主將出自熙雍，上主的話將出自耶路撒冷。」
And many nations shall go, saying, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us his ways, And that we may walk in his paths!” For from Zion shall go forth a law, And the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
3 衪將統治萬民，遠處的強國宣佈定案；他們必要把自己的刀劍鑄成鋤頭，將自己的槍矛製成鐮刀；民族與民族不再持刀相向，人也不再學習武鬥；
He shall be a judge of many nations, And an umpire of many kingdoms afar off. They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, And their spears into pruning-hooks; Nation shall not lift up the sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war any more.
4 各人只坐在自家葡萄樹和無花果樹下，無人來驚擾，因為萬軍的上主親口說了。
But they shall sit every one under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And none shall make them afraid; The mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it.
5 雖然萬民各奉自己神祗之名而生活，但是我們卻永遠奉上主我們天主之名而生活。
Though all the nations walk every one in the name of its God, Yet will we walk in the name of Jehovah our God for ever and ever.
6 到那一日，──上主的斷語──我要聚集跛行的人，集合被驅散和我所磨難的人；
In that day, saith Jehovah, I will gather the halting, And the far scattered I will assemble, And those whom I have afflicted.
7 我必使跛行的人成為遺民，使離散的人成為強大的民族。從今以後，我，上主要在熙雍山上作他們的君王，以至永遠。
I will make the halting a remnant, And the far scattered a strong nation; And Jehovah shall reign over them in mount Zion, Henceforth, even forever.
8 你這羊群的守望台，熙雍女子的高崗，昔日的王權必再歸於你，耶路撒冷女子的王國必再臨。
And thou, O tower of the flock, O hill of the daughter of Zion, to thee it shall come, To thee shall come the former dominion, Even the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 現在你為什麼高呼﹖難道你們中間沒有了君王，或者妳的參議已喪亡，令妳痛苦，像臨產的婦女﹖
And now why dost thou cry aloud? Is there no king within thee? Have thy counsellors perished, That pangs have taken hold of thee, as of a woman in travail?
10 熙雍女子，妳應輾轉呻吟，像個臨產的婦女，因為現在妳應出城，住在田野，並且要到巴比倫去，在那裏你將獲救；在那裏，上主你的的天主，要從仇敵中把妳贖回。
Yea, writhe, and be in anguish, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail! For now shalt thou go forth from the city, and dwell in the field; Thou shalt go even to Babylon; Yet there shalt thou be delivered. Jehovah will redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
11 現在許多異族集合起來攻擊妳說：「願她赤身裸體，願我們親眼見到熙雍滅亡! 」
Now many nations gather themselves against thee, Who say, Let her be polluted, And let our eyes gaze upon Zion!
12 但是他們不知道上主的心意，不明白衪的策略，原來是上主集合了他們，如把禾梱收在禾場上一樣。
But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, And understand not his purposes; For he gathereth them as sheaves into the thrashing-floor.
13 熙雍女子，起來打場吧! 因為我要使妳們的角變成鐵角，使妳的蹄變成銅蹄，使妳踏碎許多民族；妳將他們的戰利品奉獻給上主，將他們的財寶o石全地的主宰。
Arise and thrash, O daughter of Zion! For I will make thy horns iron, And thy hoofs brass; Thou shalt beat in pieces many nations, And thou shalt devote their spoils to Jehovah, Their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
