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.
Acontecerá en los últimos días que la Montaña de la Casa de Yavé será establecida como cabeza de las montañas y exaltada sobre las colinas. Los pueblos correrán a ella.
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.
Muchas naciones irán allí y dirán: Vengan, subamos a la Montaña de Yavé, a la Casa del ʼElohim de Jacob. Él nos enseñará sus caminos, y nosotros andaremos en sus sendas. Porque la Ley saldrá de Sion, y de Jerusalén, la Palabra de Yavé.
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.
Él juzgará entre muchos pueblos y decidirá para naciones poderosas y distantes. Convertirán sus espadas en arados y sus lanzas en podaderas. No levantará espada nación contra nación, ni se adiestrarán más para la guerra.
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.
Cada uno se sentará debajo de su vid y de su higuera. No habrá quién los atemorice, porque habló la boca de Yavé de las huestes.
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.
Aunque todos los pueblos caminan, cada uno en el nombre de su ʼelohim, nosotros caminaremos en el nombre de Yavé, nuestro [ʼElohim] para siempre jamás.
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;
En aquel día reuniré a la que cojea, traeré a la descarriada y a aquellas que afligí, dice Yavé.
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.
Haré un remanente con las que cojean, y una nación poderosa con las descarriadas. Yavé reinará sobre ellas en la Montaña Sion desde entonces y para siempre.
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.
Y tú, oh torre del rebaño, fortaleza de la hija de Sion, a ti llegará, sí, a ti viene el dominio anterior, el reino de la ciudad de Jerusalén.
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:
Y ahora, ¿por qué gritas tanto? ¿No hay rey en ti? ¿Pereció tu consejero? ¿Te sorprendió el dolor como a mujer que da a luz?
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.
Sufre dolor y gime, oh hija de Sion, como mujer que da a luz, porque ahora saldrás de la ciudad y vivirás en el campo. Irás a Babilonia y allí serás librada. Allí Yavé te librará de la mano de tus enemigos.
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.
Pero ahora muchas naciones se reúnen contra ti y dicen: Sea profanada, y vean nuestros ojos a 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.
Pero no conocen los pensamientos de Yavé, ni comprenden sus designios, por los cuales los reúne como gavillas en la era.
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.
¡Levántate y trilla, oh hija de Sion! Porque haré tu cuerno como el hierro y tus cascos como el bronce, para que destroces a muchos pueblos, y consagres sus despojos a Yavé y sus riquezas al ʼAdonay de toda la tierra.
