彌迦書 4
1 末後的日子， 耶和華殿的山必堅立， 超乎諸山，高舉過於萬嶺； 萬民都要流歸這山。
In the last days, the mountain where the Lord's Temple stands will be recognized as the highest of all mountains, rising above other hills. Crowds of people from many places will travel to it.
2 必有許多國的民前往，說： 來吧，我們登耶和華的山， 奔雅各上帝的殿。 主必將他的道教訓我們； 我們也要行他的路。 因為訓誨必出於錫安； 耶和華的言語必出於耶路撒冷。
Many nations will come and say, “Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. There God will teach us his ways and we will follow his directions.” God's teachings will spread out from Zion, his word from Jerusalem.
3 他必在多國的民中施行審判， 為遠方強盛的國斷定是非。 他們要將刀打成犂頭， 把槍打成鐮刀。 這國不舉刀攻擊那國； 他們也不再學習戰事。
The Lord will decide the cases of the nations, he will settle arguments between distant powerful nations. They will hammer their swords and turn them into plough blades, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not fight against each other anymore; they will no longer learn methods of warfare.
4 人人都要坐在自己葡萄樹下 和無花果樹下，無人驚嚇。 這是萬軍之耶和華親口說的。
Everyone will be able to sit under their own vine and their own fig tree, for there will be no one to make them afraid. I the Lord Almighty has spoken!
5 萬民各奉己神的名而行； 我們卻永永遠遠奉耶和華－我們上帝的名而行。
Even though all the other nations follow their gods, we will follow the Lord our God forever and ever.
6 耶和華說：到那日， 我必聚集瘸腿的， 招聚被趕出的和我所懲治的。
On that day, declares the Lord, I will gather those who are lame, I will bring together those who have been scattered in exile, those whom I punished.
7 我必使瘸腿的為餘剩之民， 使趕到遠方的為強盛之民。 耶和華要在錫安山作王治理他們， 從今直到永遠。
I will make those who remain, crippled and driven far away, into a strong nation, and the Lord will rule them from Mount Zion forever and ever.
8 你這羊群的高臺、錫安城的山哪， 從前的權柄－ 就是耶路撒冷民的國權－ 必歸與你。
And as for you, Jerusalem, watchtower of the flock, your former royal rule and power will be returned to you: the kingdom will be given back to Jerusalem.
9 現在你為何大聲哭號呢？ 疼痛抓住你彷彿產難的婦人， 是因你中間沒有君王嗎？ 你的謀士滅亡了嗎？
So why are you screaming aloud? Don't you have a king? Has the king who advises you died so that pain has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?
10 錫安的民哪， 你要疼痛劬勞，彷彿產難的婦人； 因為你必從城裏出來， 住在田野，到巴比倫去。 在那裏要蒙解救； 在那裏耶和華必救贖你脫離仇敵的手。
Thrash around in agony like a woman giving birth, people of Zion—for you will be expelled from the city, forced to camp out in the open, and exiled to Babylon. But the Lord will bring you back, and rescue you from the power of your enemies.
11 現在有許多國的民聚集攻擊你，說： 願錫安被玷污！ 願我們親眼見她遭報！
Right now many enemies are gathered against you, saying, “Let us attack and violate her, so we can look with gloating over Zion!”
12 他們卻不知道耶和華的意念， 也不明白他的籌劃。 他聚集他們，好像把禾捆聚到禾場一樣。
But they don't know what the Lord is thinking, and don't understand what he is planning. He has brought them together like bundles of grain to the threshing floor.
13 錫安的民哪，起來踹穀吧！ 我必使你的角成為鐵， 使你的蹄成為銅。 你必打碎多國的民， 將他們的財獻與耶和華， 將他們的貨獻與普天下的主。
People of Zion, get up and start threshing, for I will make for you iron horns and bronze hooves so you can break many nations into pieces. You will present their stolen plunder to the Lord, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
