< 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.
Yon tan gen pou rive! Lè sa a, mòn kote tanp lan ye a va pi wo pase tout lòt mòn yo. L'ap kanpe byen wo nan mitan mòn yo. Moun va soti an kantite toupatou vin sou li.
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.
Anpil moun lòt nasyon va vini, y'a di: Ann ale sou mòn Seyè a! Ann ale nan tanp Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! L'a moutre nou jan li vle nou viv la. Konsa, n'a mache nan chemen l'a mete devan nou an. Paske, Seyè a rete sou mòn Siyon an, l'ap bay lòd li. Seyè a rete lavil Jerizalèm, l'ap pale ak pèp li a.
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.
L'ap regle kont nasyon yo gen yonn ak lòt, l'ap sèvi jij pou gwo peyi ki byen lwen. Y'ap pran mato, y'ap fè zam yo tounen zouti pou travay tè. Y'ap fè nepe yo tounen sèpèt. Nasyon yo p'ap fè lagè yonn ak lòt ankò. Yo p'ap janm aprann fè lagè ankò.
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.
Tout moun va viv ak kè poze anba tonèl rezen yo, anba pye fig frans yo. Pesonn p'ap chache yo kont. Sa se pawòl ki soti nan bouch Seyè a!
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.
Chak nasyon ap viv dapre lòd bondye pa yo ba yo. Men nou menm, n'ap viv dapre lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou tout tan tout tan.
6 “On that day,” declares the LORD, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted.
Seyè a di: Yon tan ap vini. Lè sa a, m'a aji avèk pèp mwen an tankou yon gadò. M' aval chache moun ki t'ap bwete yo. M'a ranmase moun yo te chase byen lwen yo, moun mwen te pini yo.
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.
Avèk sa ki t'ap bwete yo, m'a mete peyi a kanpe ankò. M'a fè moun yo te depòte yo tounen yon gwo nasyon. Mwen menm, Seyè a, m'a gouvènen yo sou tèt mòn Siyon an, depi jou sa a jouk sa kaba.
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.”
Ou menm, lavil Jerizalèm kote Bondye rete pou l' veye bann mouton l' yo, ou menm, ti mòn Ofèl kote moun Siyon yo rete a, ou gen pou tounen kapital peyi a ankò kote wa moun Jerizalèm yo ye a, jan sa te ye nan tan lontan an.
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?
Koulye a, poukisa w'ap rele fò konsa? Se paske ou pèdi wa ou la? Poukisa w'ap plenn konsa tankou yon fanm ki gen tranche? Se paske moun ki te konn ba ou konsèy la mouri?
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!
Tòde kò nou, nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm! Plenn tankou fanm ki sou choukèt! Paske, koulye a nou pral soti kite lavil la, nou pral rete nan bwa. N'a rive jouk lavil Babilòn. Men, antan nou la, y'a vin delivre nou. Seyè a ap vin wete nou nan men lènmi nou yo.
11 But now many nations have assembled against you, saying, “Let her be defiled, and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”
Anpil nasyon ap reyini pou atake nou. Y'ap di konsa: Se pou yo avili lavil Jerizalèm. Se pou nou wè lavil Siyon an kraze nèt.
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.
Men, moun sa yo pa konnen lide Bondye gen nan tèt li. Yo pa konprann plan travay li. Li te sanble yo pou l' ka pini yo tankou lè yo sanble pwa sou glasi anvan yo bat yo.
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.
Seyè a di: Nou menm moun lavil Siyon, leve non! Foule lènmi nou yo anba pye nou! M'ap ban nou fòs, n'ap tankou towo bèf ki gen kòn ak zago fè. N'ap kraze anpil nasyon an miyèt moso. N'a pran tou sa yo genyen ansanm ak tout richès yo, n'a ofri yo ban mwen, mwen menm Seyè a, ki mèt tout latè.
