Mihej 4
1 Dogodit će se na kraju danÄa: Gora Doma Jahvina bit će postavljena vrh svih gora, uzvišena iznad svih bregova.
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 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 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 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 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 Svaki će mirno živjeti pod lozom vinovom, pod smokvom svojom, i nitko ga neće plašiti. To rekoše usta Jahve nad Vojskama.
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 Jer svi narodi idu, svaki u ime boga svojega, a mi, mi idemo u imenu Jahve, Boga našega, uvijek i dovijeka.
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 “U onaj dan - riječ je Jahvina - sabrat ću hrome, okupiti raspršene i sve kojima sam zlo učinio.
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 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 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 I ti Kulo stadÄa, Ofele Kćeri sionske, opet će se tebi vratiti prijašnja vlast, kraljevstvo Kćeri jeruzalemske.
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 Zašto sada kukaš kuknjavom? Nema li kralja u tebi? Zar su savjetnici tvoji propali da te obuzimlju bolovi kao porodilju?
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 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 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 A sada se mnogi narodi protivu tebe sabraše. Oni govore: “Neka se obeščasti, neka se naše oči nasite Siona!”
And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: 'Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.'
12 Ali zamisli Jahvine oni ne znaju i ne razumiju namjere njegove: kao snoplje na gumnu on ih je sabrao.
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 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 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!
