< 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。
And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mount of the house of Jehovah Is established above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the hills, And flowed unto it have peoples.
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。
And gone have many nations and said, Come and we go up to the mount of Jehovah, And unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we do walk in His paths, For from Zion doth go forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
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。
And He hath judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations afar off, They have beaten their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation lifteth not up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn war any more.
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。
And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of Jehovah of Hosts hath spoken.
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。
For all the peoples do walk, Each in the name of its god — and we, We do walk in the name of Jehovah our God, To the age and for ever.
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。
In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah, I do gather the halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she whom I have afflicted.
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。
And I have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off for a mighty nation, And reigned hath Jehovah over them in mount Zion, From henceforth, and unto the age.
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。
And thou, O tower of Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion, unto thee it cometh, Yea, come in hath the former rule, The kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.
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?
Now, why dost thou shout aloud? A king — is there none in thee? Hath thy counsellor perished, That taken hold of thee hath pain as a travailing woman?
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。
Be pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now, thou goest forth from the city, And thou hast dwelt in the field, And thou hast gone unto Babylon, There thou art delivered, There redeem thee doth Jehovah from the hand of thine 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!
And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: 'Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.'
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。
They have not known the thoughts of Jehovah, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He hath gathered them as a sheaf [into] a threshing-floor.
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。
Arise, and thresh, O daughter of Zion, For thy horn I make iron, And thy hoofs I make brass, And thou hast beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to Jehovah their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
