< 弥迦书 4 >

1 末后的日子, 耶和华殿的山必坚立, 超乎诸山,高举过于万岭; 万民都要流归这山。
Yahweh [says that] some day his temple will be on top of a mountain, and that mountain will be the most important [MET] one on the earth; it will be [as though it is] higher than all the hills, and huge groups of people from all over the world will come there [to worship].
2 必有许多国的民前往,说: 来吧,我们登耶和华的山, 奔雅各 神的殿。 主必将他的道教训我们; 我们也要行他的路。 因为训诲必出于锡安; 耶和华的言语必出于耶路撒冷。
[People from] many nations will say [to each other], “Let’s go to the mountain where Yahweh is, to the temple where we can worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. There God will teach us how he wants us to conduct our lives, and we will do what he wants us to do.” Zion [Hill] is the place where he will teach [people]; and [people will go] out from Jerusalem [to tell others] his messages.
3 他必在多国的民中施行审判, 为远方强盛的国断定是非。 他们要将刀打成犁头, 把枪打成镰刀。 这国不举刀攻击那国; 他们也不再学习战事。
Yahweh will settle disputes between many people, and he will [also] settle disputes between powerful nations that are far away. Then people will hammer their swords to cause them to become plow blades, and [hammer] their spears to cause them to become pruning knives. [Armies of] nations will no [longer] fight against [armies of other] nations, and they will no longer train [men how to fight] in wars.
4 人人都要坐在自己葡萄树下 和无花果树下,无人惊吓。 这是万军之耶和华亲口说的。
Everyone will sit [peacefully] under his own grapevines, and under his own fig trees; no one will cause them to be afraid. [That is what will surely happen] because the Commander of the armies of angels has said it.
5 万民各奉己神的名而行; 我们却永永远远奉耶和华—我们 神的名而行。
Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
6 耶和华说:到那日, 我必聚集瘸腿的, 招聚被赶出的和我所惩治的。
Yahweh says, “There will soon be a time when I will gather the people whom I have punished, who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries), all those whom [I have caused to] suffer much.
7 我必使瘸腿的为余剩之民, 使赶到远方的为强盛之民。 耶和华要在锡安山作王治理他们, 从今直到永远。
My people who did not die while they were exiled will become a strong nation [again]. Then [I], Yahweh, will be their king, and I will rule from Jerusalem forever.
8 你这羊群的高台、锡安城的山哪, 从前的权柄— 就是耶路撒冷民的国权— 必归与你。
As for you people of Jerusalem [MET], you who [guard all of my people] like [MET] [a shepherd guards his sheep] from a tower, you [who live on] Zion [Hill], will have great power again. You people who live in Jerusalem will again rule like you did previously.
9 现在你为何大声哭号呢? 疼痛抓住你仿佛产难的妇人, 是因你中间没有君王吗? 你的谋士灭亡了吗?
[So] why [RHQ] are you wailing now? Is it because you have no king? Have all your wise people died? You are groaning loudly like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.
10 锡安的民哪, 你要疼痛劬劳,仿佛产难的妇人; 因为你必从城里出来, 住在田野,到巴比伦去。 在那里要蒙解救; 在那里耶和华必救赎你脱离仇敌的手。
[Well], you people of Jerusalem should writhe and groan like [SIM] a woman who is having birth pains, because now you must leave this city, and [while you are traveling], you will set up tents in open fields [at night]; you will go to [live in] Babylon. [But while you are] there, [I], Yahweh, will rescue you; I will free you from the power/control [MTY] of your enemies.
11 现在有许多国的民聚集攻击你,说: 愿锡安被玷污! 愿我们亲眼见她遭报!
Now [the armies of] many nations have gathered to attack you. They are saying, ‘Jerusalem must be destroyed! We want to see this city [when it becomes ruins]!’
12 他们却不知道耶和华的意念, 也不明白他的筹划。 他聚集他们,好像把禾捆聚到禾场一样。
But they do not know what [I], Yahweh, think, and they do not understand what I plan: I will gather them [and punish them] like [SIM] [farmers] thresh grain on the ground.
13 锡安的民哪,起来踹谷吧! 我必使你的角成为铁, 使你的蹄成为铜。 你必打碎多国的民, 将他们的财献与耶和华, 将他们的货献与普天下的主。
So, you people of Jerusalem, rise up and punish [MET] [the nations who oppose you]. I will cause you [to be very strong], [as if] [MET] you had horns made of iron, [as if] [MET] you had hoofs made of bronze; and you will crush many nations. And [then you will take] from your enemies the valuable things that they have taken [from other countries], and you will dedicate those things to [me, the one who is] the Lord of all [the people on] the earth.”
