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.
Et erit: In novissimo dierum erit mons domus Domini præparatus in vertice montium, et sublimis super colles: et fluent ad eum populi.
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.
Et properabunt gentes multæ, et dicent: Venite, ascendamus ad montem Domini, et ad domum Dei Iacob: et docebit nos de viis suis, et ibimus in semitis eius: quia de Sion egredietur lex, et verbum Domini de Ierusalem.
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.
Et iudicabit inter populos multos, et corripiet gentes fortes usque in longinquum: et concident gladios suos in vomeres, et hastas suas in ligones: non sumet gens adversus gentem gladium: et non discent ultra belligerare.
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.
Et sedebit vir subtus vitem suam, et subtus ficum suam, et non erit qui deterreat: quia os Domini exercituum locutum est.
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.
Quia omnes populi ambulabunt unusquisque in nomine Dei sui: nos autem ambulabimus in nomine Domini Dei nostri in æternum et ultra.
6 “On that day,” declares the LORD, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted.
In die illa, dicit Dominus, congregabo claudicantem: et eam, quam eieceram, colligam: et quam afflixeram:
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.
Et ponam claudicantem in reliquias: et eam, quæ laboraverat, in gentem robustam: et regnabit Dominus super eos in monte Sion, ex hoc nunc et usque in æternum.
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.”
Et tu turris gregis nebulosa filiæ Sion usque ad te veniet: et veniet potestas prima, regnum filiæ Ierusalem.
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?
Nunc quare mœrore contraheris? numquid rex non est tibi, aut consiliarius tuus periit, quia comprehendit te dolor sicut parturientem?
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!
Dole, et satage filia Sion quasi parturiens: quia nunc egredieris de civitate, et habitabis in regione, et venies usque ad Babylonem, ibi liberaberis: ibi redimet te Dominus de manu inimicorum tuorum.
11 But now many nations have assembled against you, saying, “Let her be defiled, and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”
Et nunc congregatæ sunt super te gentes multæ, quæ dicunt: Lapidetur: et aspiciat in Sion oculus noster.
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.
Ipsi autem non cognoverunt cogitationes Domini, et non intellexerunt consilium eius: quia congregavit eos quasi fœnum areæ.
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.
Surge, et tritura filia Sion: quia cornu tuum ponam ferreum, et ungulas tuas ponam æreas: et comminues populos multos, et interficies Domino rapinas eorum, et fortitudinem eorum Domino universæ terræ.
