Micah 4
1 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it.
Mʼmasiku otsiriza, phiri la Nyumba ya Yehova adzalikhazikitsa kukhala lalitali kuposa mapiri ena onse. Lidzaonekera pamwamba pa mapiri ena onse, ndipo anthu amitundu yonse adzathamangira kumeneko.
2 And many nations will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Mayiko ambiri adzabwera ndikunena kuti, “Tiyeni, tikwere ku phiri la Yehova, ku nyumba ya Mulungu wa Yakobo. Iye adzatiphunzitsa njira zake, ndipo tidzayenda mʼnjira zakezo.” Malangizo adzachokera ku Ziyoni, mawu a Yehova adzachokera ku Yerusalemu.
3 Then He will judge between many peoples and arbitrate for strong nations far and wide. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor will they train anymore for war.
Iye adzaweruza pakati pa anthu amitundu yambiri ndipo adzathetsa kusamvana pakati pa anthu amphamvu akutali ndi apafupi omwe. Anthuwo adzasandutsa malupanga awo kukhala makasu ndiponso mikondo yawo kukhala zomwetera. Mtundu wina sudzatenganso lupanga kumenyana ndi mtundu wina, kapena kuphunziranso za nkhondo.
4 And each man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, with no one to frighten him. For the mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken.
Munthu aliyense adzakhala pansi pa tsinde pa mtengo wake wa mpesa ndi pa tsinde pa mtengo wake wamkuyu, ndipo palibe amene adzawachititse mantha, pakuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wayankhula.
5 Though each of the peoples may walk in the name of his god, yet we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
Mitundu yonse ya anthu itha kutsatira milungu yawo; ife tidzayenda mʼnjira za Yehova Mulungu wathu mpaka muyaya.
6 “On that day,” declares the LORD, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted.
“Tsiku limenelo, Yehova akuti, “ndidzasonkhanitsa olumala; ndidzasonkhanitsa pamodzi anthu ochotsedwa ndiponso amene ndinawalanga.
7 And I will make the lame into a remnant, and the outcast into a strong nation. Then the LORD will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever.
Anthu olumalawo ndidzawasandutsa anthu anga otsala. Anthu amene ndinawachotsa ndidzawasandutsa mtundu wamphamvu. Yehova adzawalamulira mʼPhiri la Yehova kuyambira tsiku limenelo mpaka muyaya.
8 And you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion— the former dominion will be restored to you; sovereignty will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem.”
Kunena za iwe, nsanja ya ziweto zanga, iwe linga la mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, ulamuliro wako wakale udzabwezeretsedwa kwa iwe; ufumu udzabwera pa mwana wamkazi wa Yerusalemu.”
9 Why do you now cry aloud? Is there no king among you? Has your counselor perished so that anguish grips you like a woman in labor?
Chifukwa chiyani tsopano ukulira mofuwula, kodi ulibe mfumu? Kodi phungu wako wawonongedwa, kotero kuti ululu wako uli ngati wa mayi amene akubereka?
10 Writhe in agony, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will leave the city and camp in the open fields. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued; there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies!
Gubuduka ndi ululu, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, ngati mayi pa nthawi yake yobereka, pakuti tsopano muyenera kuchoka mu mzinda ndi kugona kunja kwa mzindawo. Udzapita ku Babuloni; kumeneko udzapulumutsidwa, kumeneko Yehova adzakuwombola mʼmanja mwa adani ako.
11 But now many nations have assembled against you, saying, “Let her be defiled, and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”
Koma tsopano mitundu yambiri ya anthu yasonkhana kulimbana nawe. Iwo akuti, “Tiyeni timudetse, maso athu aone chiwonongeko cha Ziyoni!”
12 But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD or understand His plan, for He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
Koma iwo sakudziwa maganizo a Yehova; iwo sakuzindikira cholinga chake, Iye amene amawatuta ngati mitolo ya tirigu ku malo opunthira tirigu.
13 Rise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion, for I will give you horns of iron and hooves of bronze to break to pieces many peoples. Then you will devote their gain to the LORD, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
“Imirira, puntha, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, pakuti ndidzakupatsa nyanga zachitsulo; ndidzakupatsa ziboda zamkuwa ndipo udzaphwanya mitundu yambiri ya anthu.” Phindu lawo lolipeza molakwikalo udzalipereka kwa Yehova, chuma chawo kwa Yehova wa dziko lonse lapansi.
