< 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.
Ngem iti maudi nga al aldaw, mapasamakto a ti bantay ti balay ni Yahweh ket maipasdekto iti rabaw dagiti kabambantayan. Maitan-okto daytoy iti ngatoen dagiti turod, ket agdarisonto dagiti tattao ditoy.
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.
Adu a nasion ti mapan ket kunaenda, “Umaykayo, sumang-attayo idiay bantay ni Yahweh, iti balay ti Dios ni Jacob. Isurona kadatayo dagiti dalanna, ket magnatayo kadagiti dananna. Manipud Sion ket rummuar ti linteg, ken aggapu ti Jerusalem ti sao ni Yahweh.
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.
Mangukomto isuna kadagiti adu a tattao ken mangikeddeng ti maipanggep kadagiti adu a nasion iti adayo. Pitpitendanto dagiti kampilanda tapno agbalin nga arado, ken tapno agbalin met a kumpay dagiti gayangda. Saanton nga ilayat ti nasion ti kampilanna a maibusor iti nasion, wenno adalen no kasano ti makigubat.
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.
Ngem ketdi, agtugawto ti tunggal maysa a tao iti sirok ti kaubasanna, ken iti sirok ti kayona nga igos. Awanto ti mangpabuteng kadakuada, ta ti ngiwat ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin iti nagsao.
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.
Ta magna amin a tattao, tunggal maysa, iti nagan iti diosda. Ngem magnatayonto iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diostayo iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana.
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;
“Iti dayta nga aldaw”, kuna ni Yahweh, “Ummongekto dagiti pilay ket urnongekto dagiti napagtalaw, a pinagsagabak.
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.
Ket pagbalinekto dagiti pilay a tidda, ken dagiti naitalaw iti nabileg a nasion, ket Siak ni Yahweh ti agturayto kadakuada idiay bantay Sion, ita ken iti agnanayon.
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.
Ket sika a pagwanawanan iti arban, turod ti babai nga anak iti Sion, umayto kenka— umayto ti sigud a turay, ti pagarian iti anak a babai ti Jerusalem.
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:
Ita, apay nga agsangitka iti nakapigpigsa? Awan kadi ti ari, napukaw kadin ti mammagbagam, dagita nga ut-ot a mangtengtengngel kenka a kasla iti babai nga agpasikal?
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.
Agtuok ket agpasngayka, anak a babai ti Sion, a kas iti babai nga agpasikal. Ta manipud ita ket rummuarka iti siudad, agnaedka iti langalang, ken mapanka idiay Babilonia. Maispalkanto sadiay. Isalakanakanto sadiay ni Yahweh manipud kadagiti ima ti kabusormo.
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.
Adu a nasion ti naguornong ita a maibusor kenka; ket kunada, 'Matulawan koma isuna; makitatayo koma ti pannakadadael ti Sion.'”
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.
Kuna dagiti profeta, Saanda nga ammo dagiti pampanunoten ni Yahweh, ken saanda a maawatan dagiti panggepna, ta inurnongna ida a kasla rineppet iti pagir-irikan.
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.
Kuna ni Yahweh, “Bumangonka ket agirikka, O anak a babai ti Sion, ta aramidekto a landok ti saram, ken aramidekto a gambang ti kukom. Adunto ti maparmekmo a tattao. Siak ni Yahweh ket subliekto dagiti binallikogda a kinabaknang, dagiti sanikuada, subliekto, Siak ti Apo ti sangalubongan.”
