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 days to come the mountain of the Lord will be established, the house of our God on the top of the mountain, lifted above the hills. All the nations will flow 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。
and many peoples will go and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mount, to the house of the God of Jacob, so that he may instruct us in his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.’ For from Zion proceeds instruction and the Lord’s 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。
He will arbitrate between many peoples, and render decisions for numerous nations, They will beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, they will learn war no more.
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。
They will live each under his vine, and under his fig tree, with none to terrify them. For the mouth of the Lord of hosts 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。
Each nation trusts in the names of their gods, but we will worship the Lord our God forever.
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,’ says the Lord, ‘I will assemble the lame. I will gather exiles 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 restore the lame as a remnant, the exiles into a great nation. The Lord will rule over them on Mount Zion from that time forever.’
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。
But you, watchtower for the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you will return your former rule.
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 do you now cry aloud? Haven’t you any king? Or has your counsellor perished, so you writhe in pain like a woman in labour?
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。
Writhe and scream, daughter of Zion, like a woman in labour! For now you must leave the city and camp in the open field. You will be taken to Babylon, but there will be rescued. There the Lord will save you from the hands of your foes.
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！
But now many nations gather against you. They say, ‘Let her be defiled, we will gloat 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 do not know the thoughts of the Lord. They do not understand his plan, for he has gathered them like sheaves for 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。
‘Arise, thresh, daughter of Zion. I will make your horns iron, and your hoofs brass, so you might beat in pieces many peoples, and devote to the Lord their spoil, and their wealth to the ruler of all the earth.
