< 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.
末后的日子, 耶和华殿的山必坚立, 超乎诸山,高举过于万岭; 万民都要流归这山。
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.
必有许多国的民前往,说: 来吧,我们登耶和华的山, 奔雅各 神的殿。 主必将他的道教训我们; 我们也要行他的路。 因为训诲必出于锡安; 耶和华的言语必出于耶路撒冷。
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.
他必在多国的民中施行审判, 为远方强盛的国断定是非。 他们要将刀打成犁头, 把枪打成镰刀。 这国不举刀攻击那国; 他们也不再学习战事。
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.
人人都要坐在自己葡萄树下 和无花果树下,无人惊吓。 这是万军之耶和华亲口说的。
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.
万民各奉己神的名而行; 我们却永永远远奉耶和华—我们 神的名而行。
6 “On that day,” declares the LORD, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted.
耶和华说:到那日, 我必聚集瘸腿的, 招聚被赶出的和我所惩治的。
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.
我必使瘸腿的为余剩之民, 使赶到远方的为强盛之民。 耶和华要在锡安山作王治理他们, 从今直到永远。
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.”
你这羊群的高台、锡安城的山哪, 从前的权柄— 就是耶路撒冷民的国权— 必归与你。
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?
现在你为何大声哭号呢? 疼痛抓住你仿佛产难的妇人, 是因你中间没有君王吗? 你的谋士灭亡了吗?
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!
锡安的民哪, 你要疼痛劬劳,仿佛产难的妇人; 因为你必从城里出来, 住在田野,到巴比伦去。 在那里要蒙解救; 在那里耶和华必救赎你脱离仇敌的手。
11 But now many nations have assembled against you, saying, “Let her be defiled, and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”
现在有许多国的民聚集攻击你,说: 愿锡安被玷污! 愿我们亲眼见她遭报!
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.
他们却不知道耶和华的意念, 也不明白他的筹划。 他聚集他们,好像把禾捆聚到禾场一样。
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.
锡安的民哪,起来踹谷吧! 我必使你的角成为铁, 使你的蹄成为铜。 你必打碎多国的民, 将他们的财献与耶和华, 将他们的货献与普天下的主。
