Micah 4
1 But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and peoples shall flow to it.
Otiia tenei ake kei nga ra whakamutunga ka whakapumautia te maunga i to Ihowa whare ki te tihi o nga maunga, a ka hikitia ki runga ake i nga pukepuke, a ka rere nga iwi ki reira.
2 And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, 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 out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
A he maha nga iwi e haere, e mea, Haere mai koutou, tatou ka haere ki runga ki te maunga o Ihowa, ki te whare o te Atua o Hakopa, a mana tatou e whakaako ki ana ara, ka haere hoki tatou i ana huarahi; no te mea ka puta mai te ture i Hiona, te kup u hoki a Ihowa i Hiruharama.
3 And he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more.
A ka whakarite whakawa ia i waenganui i nga iwi maha, ka riria hoki e ia te he o nga iwi kaha i tawhiti; a ka patupatua e ratou a ratou hoari hei hea parau, a ratou tao hei mea tapahi manga; e kore tetahi iwi e hapai hoari ki tetahi iwi, a heoi a no ta ratou ako ki te whawhai.
4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and none shall make them afraid. For the mouth of Jehovah of hosts has spoken it.
Engari ka noho ratou, ia tangata, ia tangata, i raro i tana waina, i raro i tana piki; a kahore he tangata hei whakawehi i a ratou: na te mangai hoki o Ihowa o nga mano te korero.
5 For all the peoples walk each one in the name of his god. And we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever and ever.
Ka haere hoki nga iwi katoa, ia tangata, ia tangata, i runga i te ingoa o tona atua, a ka haere tatou i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua a ake ake.
6 In that day, says Jehovah, I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted.
A taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa, ka huihuia e ahau te wahine e totitoti ana, ka whakaminea te wahine i peia atu, me ia ano i whakatupuria kinotia e ahau;
7 And I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation. And Jehovah will reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth even forever.
A ka meinga e ahau te wahine e totitoti ana hei morehu, me te wahine i maka atu ki tawhiti hei iwi kaha: a ka kingi a Ihowa ki a ratou ki Maunga Hiona aianei a ake tonu atu.
8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to thee it shall come. Yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
Na ka tae mai ki a koe, e koe, e te pourewa o te kahui, e te taumaihi o te tamahine a Hiona; ae ra, ka tae mai ki a koe te kingitanga o mua ra, te kingitanga o te tamahine a Hiruharama.
9 Now why do thou cry out aloud? Is there no king in thee? Has thy counselor perished, that pangs have taken hold of thee as of a woman in travail?
Na, he aha koe i hamama ai? Kahore ianei he kingi i roto i a koe, kua ngaro ranei tou kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, i mau pu ai koe i te mamae me te mea he wahine e whanau ana?
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail. For now thou shall go forth out of the city, and shall dwell in the field, and shall come even to Babylon. There thou shall be rescued. There Jehovah will redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
Whakamamae, e ngana kia puta ki waho, e te tamahine a Hiona, kia rite ki te wahine e whanau ana: no te mea ko aianei koe puta ai i roto i te pa, a ka noho ki te parae, a ka tae ki Papurona ra ano; hei reira koe ka whakaorangia; hei reira a Ihowa hoko ai i a koe i te ringa o ou hoariri.
11 And now many nations are assembled against thee, who say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see our desire upon Zion.
Na, tona maha o nga iwi kua huihui ki te whawhai ki a koe, e mea ana, Tukua ia kia whakapokea, kia kite atu to tatou kanohi i tana koronga i runga i Hiona.
12 But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, nor do they understand his counsel, for he has gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor.
Otira kahore ratou e matau ki nga whakaaro o Ihowa, kahore hoki e mohio ki tana i whakatakoto ai: kua kohikohia hoki ratou e ia ano he paihere ki te patunga witi.
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass, and thou shall beat many peoples in pieces. And I will devote their gain to Jehovah, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
Whakatika ki te patu witi, e te tamahine a Hiona: ka meinga hoki e ahau tou haona hei rino, ka meinga hoki e ahau ou paua hei parahi: a he maha nga iwi e patupatua e koe a mongamonga noa: a mau e whakatapu ma Ihowa nga mea i apohia mai e ratou, o ratou rawa ma te Ariki o te whenua katoa.
