< Micah 4 >
1 But in the last days it will come about that the mountain of the Lord's house will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and peoples will be flowing 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 a number of nations will go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will give us knowledge of his ways and we will be guided by his word: for from Zion the law will go out, 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 And he will be judge between great peoples, and strong nations far away will be ruled by his decisions; their swords will be hammered into plough-blades and their spears into vine-knives: nations will no longer be lifting up their swords against one another, and knowledge of war will have gone for ever.
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 But every man will be seated under his vine and under his fig-tree, and no one will be a cause of fear to them: for the mouth of the Lord of armies has said it.
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 For all the peoples will be walking, every one in the name of his god, and we will be walking in the name of the Lord our God for ever 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 In that day, says the Lord, I will get together her who goes with uncertain steps, I will get together her who has been sent away, and her on whom I have sent evil;
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 her whose steps were uncertain a small band, and her who was feeble a strong nation: and the Lord will be their King in Mount Zion from now and for ever.
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 tower of the flock, Ophel of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, even the earlier authority, the kingdom of 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 Now why are you crying so loudly? is there no king in you? has destruction come on your wise helper? so that pains have taken you like the pains of a woman in childbirth:
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 Be in pain, make sounds of grief, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth: for now you will go out of the town, living in the open country, and will come even to Babylon; there you will have salvation; there the Lord will make you free from the hands of your haters.
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 And now a number of nations have come together against you, and they say, Let her be made unclean and let our eyes see the fate of 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 have no knowledge of the thoughts of the Lord, their minds are not able to see his purpose: for he has got them together like stems of grain to the crushing-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 Up! and let the grain be crushed, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your feet brass, and a number of peoples will be broken by you, and you will give up their increase to the Lord and 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.
