Mihej 4
1 Dogodit će se na kraju danÄa: Gora Doma Jahvina bit će postavljena vrh svih gora, uzvišena iznad svih bregova.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared in the top of mountains, and high above the hills: and people shall flow to it.
2 K njoj će se stjecat svi narodi, nagrnut će mnoga plemena i reći: “Hajde, uziđimo na goru Jahvinu, u Dom Boga Jakovljeva! On će nas naučit' svojim putovima, i hodit ćemo stazama njegovim. Jer će sa Siona Zakon izaći, riječ Jahvina iz Jeruzalema.”
And many nations shall come in haste, and say: Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth out of Sion, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
3 On će upravljati mnogim pučanstvima i bit će sudac moćnim narodima. Svoje će mačeve prekovati u ralice, a svoja koplja u radne srpove. Narod na narod neće mača dizati niti će se više za rat vježbati.
And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into spades: nation shall not take sword against nation: neither shall they learn war any more.
4 Svaki će mirno živjeti pod lozom vinovom, pod smokvom svojom, i nitko ga neće plašiti. To rekoše usta Jahve nad Vojskama.
And every man shall sit under his vine, and under his fig tree, and there shall be none to make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken.
5 Jer svi narodi idu, svaki u ime boga svojega, a mi, mi idemo u imenu Jahve, Boga našega, uvijek i dovijeka.
For all people will walk every one in the name of his god: but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
6 “U onaj dan - riječ je Jahvina - sabrat ću hrome, okupiti raspršene i sve kojima sam zlo učinio.
In that day, saith the Lord, I will gather up her that halteth: and her that I had cast out, I will gather up: and her whom I had afflicted.
7 Od hromih ću Ostatak učiniti, moćan narod od onih što su izgnani.” Tada će Jahve nad njima kraljevati na gori Sionu od sada i dovijeka.
And I will make her that halted, a remnant: and her that hath been afflicted, a mighty nation: and the Lord will reign over them in mount Sion, from this time now and for ever.
8 I ti Kulo stadÄa, Ofele Kćeri sionske, opet će se tebi vratiti prijašnja vlast, kraljevstvo Kćeri jeruzalemske.
And thou, O cloudy tower of the flock, of the daughter of Sion, unto thee shall it come: yea the first power shall come, the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Zašto sada kukaš kuknjavom? Nema li kralja u tebi? Zar su savjetnici tvoji propali da te obuzimlju bolovi kao porodilju?
Now, why art thou drawn together with grief? Hast thou no king in thee, or is thy counsellor perished, because sorrow hath taken thee as a woman in labour?
10 Savijaj se od boli i kriči, Kćeri sionska, kao žena koja porađa, jer ćeš sada iz grada izići i stanovati na polju. Do Babilona ti ćeš otići, ondje ćeš se osloboditi, ondje će te Jahve otkupiti iz šaka tvojih dušmana.
Be in pain and labour, O daughter of Sion, as a woman that bringeth forth: for now shalt thou go out of the city, and shalt dwell in the country, and shalt come even to Babylon, there thou shalt be delivered: there the Lord will redeem thee out of the hand of thy enemies.
11 A sada se mnogi narodi protivu tebe sabraše. Oni govore: “Neka se obeščasti, neka se naše oči nasite Siona!”
And now many nations are gathered together against thee, and they say: Let her be stoned: and let our eye look upon Sion.
12 Ali zamisli Jahvine oni ne znaju i ne razumiju namjere njegove: kao snoplje na gumnu on ih je sabrao.
But they have not known the thoughts of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: because he hath gathered them together as the hay of the floor.
13 Ustani! Ovrši žito, Kćeri sionska, jer ti pravim gvozden rog i mjedena kopita. I satrt ćeš mnoge narode; zavjetovat ćeš Jahvi blago njihovo i bogatstvo njihovo Gospodaru sve zemlje.
Arise, and tread, O daughter of Sion: for I will make thy horn iron, and thy hoofs I will make brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples, and shalt immolate the spoils of them to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of the whole earth.
