< 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.
Ka ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui, ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae moʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻe hakeakiʻi ia ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi tafungofunga; pea ʻe tafe atu ki ai ʻae kakai.
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.
Pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi mo nau pehē, “Haʻu ke tau ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ʻo Sihova, pea ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope; pea te ne akonakiʻi ʻakitautolu ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea te tau ʻeveʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala.” He ko e fono ʻe ʻalu atu mei Saione, mo e folofola ʻa Sihova mei Selūsalema.
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.
Pea te ne fakamaau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi kakai, mo valokiʻi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mālohi ʻoku mamaʻo atu; pea te nau tuki ʻenau ngaahi heletā, ko e ngaahi huo toho, pea mo ʻenau ngaahi tao, ko e ngaahi hele ʻauhani: ʻe ʻikai hiki ʻe ha puleʻanga ʻae heletā ki ha puleʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe ako ki he tau.
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.
Ka te nau nofo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi he malumalu ʻo hono vaine, mo e malumalu ʻo hono fiki; pea ʻe ʻikai ha niʻihi ke fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu: he ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau kuo ne folofola ai.
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.
He ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻe ʻeveʻeva taki taha ʻi he hingoa ʻo hono ʻOtua, pea te mau ʻeveʻeva ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ko homau ʻOtua ʻo lauikuonga mo taʻengata.
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.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he ʻaho ko ia, te u tānaki ʻaia naʻe lotolotoua, pea te u fakataha ʻaia naʻe kapusi kituʻa, pea mo ia kuo u fakamamahi;
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.
Pea te u ngaohi ia ko e toenga ʻaia naʻe lotolotoua, pea ko e puleʻanga mālohi ʻaia naʻe siʻaki ki he mamaʻo: pea ʻe pule ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione, ʻo ngata mei heni, ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata.”
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.
Pea ko koe, ʻe fale leʻo ʻo Iteli, ko e potu mālohi ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione, ʻe hoko kiate koe, ʻio, ʻae ʻuluaki pule: ʻe hoko ʻae puleʻanga ki he ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema.
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?
Ko eni, ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi kalanga ai? ʻOku ʻikai ha tuʻi kiate koe? Kuo ʻauha hoʻo tangata ako fono? He ko e mamahi kuo ne maʻu koe, ʻo hangē ha fefine langā.
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.
‌ʻIo, te ke mamahi, pea ke feinga ke fāʻeleʻi, ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Saione, ʻo hangē ha fefine ʻoku langā: he ko eni, te ke toki ʻalu atu ʻi he kolo, pea te ke nofo ʻi he ngoue, pea te ke ʻalu, ʻio, ki Papilone; ʻe fakahaofi koe ʻi ai; ʻe huhuʻi koe ʻi ai ʻe Sihova, mei he nima ʻo ho ngaahi fili.
11 And now many nations are assembled against thee, who say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see our desire upon Zion.
Kuo fakataha ni foki ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kiate koe, ʻaia ʻoku nau pehē, “Ke fakaʻuliʻi ia, pea ke sio hotau mata ki Saione.”
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.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi fakakaukau ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau poto ʻi heʻene ngaahi filioʻi: he te ne tānaki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ū koane ki he feleoko.
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.
Tuʻu, pea ke haha, ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Saione: he te u ngaohi ho nifo, ko e ukamea, mo ho ngeesivaʻe, ko e palasa; pea te ke laiki ʻae ngaahi kakai tokolahi: pea te u fakatapui ki he ʻOtua, ʻenau koloa tupu, mo ʻenau koloa, kia Sihova ʻo māmani kotoa pē.
