Micheáš 4
1 Ale stane se v posledních dnech, že utvrzena bude hora domu Hospodinova na vrchu hor, a vyvýšena nad pahrbky, i pohrnou se k ní národové.
Yahweh [says that] some day his temple will be on top of a mountain, and that mountain will be the most important [MET] one on the earth; it will be [as though it is] higher than all the hills, and huge groups of people from all over the world will come there [to worship].
2 A půjdou lidé mnozí, říkajíce: Poďte, a vstupme na horu Hospodinovu, totiž do domu Boha Jákobova, a bude nás vyučovati cestám svým, i budeme choditi po stezkách jeho. Nebo z Siona vyjde zákon, a slovo Hospodinovo z Jeruzaléma.
[People from] many nations will say [to each other], “Let’s go to the mountain where Yahweh is, to the temple where we can worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. There God will teach us how he wants us to conduct our lives, and we will do what he wants us to do.” Zion [Hill] is the place where he will teach [people]; and [people will go] out from Jerusalem [to tell others] his messages.
3 Onť bude souditi mezi národy mnohými, a trestati bude národy silné za dlouhé časy. I skují meče své v motyky, a oštípy své v srpy. Nepozdvihne národ proti národu meče, a nebudou se více učiti boji.
Yahweh will settle disputes between many people, and he will [also] settle disputes between powerful nations that are far away. Then people will hammer their swords to cause them to become plow blades, and [hammer] their spears to cause them to become pruning knives. [Armies of] nations will no [longer] fight against [armies of other] nations, and they will no longer train [men how to fight] in wars.
4 Ale seděti bude každý pod vinným kmenem svým, a pod fíkovím svým, a nebude žádného, kdo by přestrašil; nebo ústa Hospodina zástupů mluvila.
Everyone will sit [peacefully] under his own grapevines, and under his own fig trees; no one will cause them to be afraid. [That is what will surely happen] because the Commander of the armies of angels has said it.
5 Všickni zajisté národové choditi budou jeden každý ve jménu boha svého, ale my choditi budeme ve jménu Hospodina Boha našeho na věky věků.
Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
6 V ten den, dí Hospodin, zberu zase kulhavou, a zahnanou shromáždím, i tu, kteréž jsem zle činil.
Yahweh says, “There will soon be a time when I will gather the people whom I have punished, who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries), all those whom [I have caused to] suffer much.
7 I dám té kulhavé potomky, a pryč zahnané národ silný, a bude kralovati Hospodin nad nimi na hoře Sion od tohoto času až na věky.
My people who did not die while they were exiled will become a strong nation [again]. Then [I], Yahweh, will be their king, and I will rule from Jerusalem forever.
8 A tak ty věže bravná, bašto dcery Sionské, až k tobě přijde, přijde, pravím, panování první, a království k dceři Jeruzalémské.
As for you people of Jerusalem [MET], you who [guard all of my people] like [MET] [a shepherd guards his sheep] from a tower, you [who live on] Zion [Hill], will have great power again. You people who live in Jerusalem will again rule like you did previously.
9 Pročež nyní tak velice křičíš? Zdaliž není žádného krále v tobě? Zdali rádce tvůj zahynul, že tě zachvátila bolest jako rodičku?
[So] why [RHQ] are you wailing now? Is it because you have no king? Have all your wise people died? You are groaning loudly like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.
10 Pracujž ku porodu a úpěj, dcero Sionská, jako rodička; nebo již vyjdeš z města, a budeš bydliti na poli, a přijdeš až do Babylona. Tam vytržena budeš, tam tě vykoupí Hospodin z ruky nepřátel tvých.
[Well], you people of Jerusalem should writhe and groan like [SIM] a woman who is having birth pains, because now you must leave this city, and [while you are traveling], you will set up tents in open fields [at night]; you will go to [live in] Babylon. [But while you are] there, [I], Yahweh, will rescue you; I will free you from the power/control [MTY] of your enemies.
11 Sbírajíť se nyní sic proti tobě národové mnozí, říkající: Nechť jest poškvrněn Sion, a nechť se podívají na to oči naše.
Now [the armies of] many nations have gathered to attack you. They are saying, ‘Jerusalem must be destroyed! We want to see this city [when it becomes ruins]!’
12 Však oni neznají myšlení Hospodinových, aniž rozumějí radě jeho, že je shromažďuje jako snopy na humno.
But they do not know what [I], Yahweh, think, and they do not understand what I plan: I will gather them [and punish them] like [SIM] [farmers] thresh grain on the ground.
13 Vstaniž a mlať, dcero Sionská; nebo rok tvůj učiním železný, a kopyta tvá učiním ocelivá. I zetřeš národy mnohé, a posvětím Hospodinu jmění jejich, a zboží jejich Pánu vší země.
So, you people of Jerusalem, rise up and punish [MET] [the nations who oppose you]. I will cause you [to be very strong], [as if] [MET] you had horns made of iron, [as if] [MET] you had hoofs made of bronze; and you will crush many nations. And [then you will take] from your enemies the valuable things that they have taken [from other countries], and you will dedicate those things to [me, the one who is] the Lord of all [the people on] the earth.”
