Michaeas 4
1 And at the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be manifest, established on the tops of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and the peoples shall hasten to it.
Mʼmasiku otsiriza, phiri la Nyumba ya Yehova adzalikhazikitsa kukhala lalitali kuposa mapiri ena onse. Lidzaonekera pamwamba pa mapiri ena onse, ndipo anthu amitundu yonse adzathamangira kumeneko.
2 And many nations shall go, and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall show us his way, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Sion shall go forth a law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Mayiko ambiri adzabwera ndikunena kuti, “Tiyeni, tikwere ku phiri la Yehova, ku nyumba ya Mulungu wa Yakobo. Iye adzatiphunzitsa njira zake, ndipo tidzayenda mʼnjira zakezo.” Malangizo adzachokera ku Ziyoni, mawu a Yehova adzachokera ku Yerusalemu.
3 And he shall judge amongst many peoples, and shall rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles; and nation shall no more lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.
Iye adzaweruza pakati pa anthu amitundu yambiri ndipo adzathetsa kusamvana pakati pa anthu amphamvu akutali ndi apafupi omwe. Anthuwo adzasandutsa malupanga awo kukhala makasu ndiponso mikondo yawo kukhala zomwetera. Mtundu wina sudzatenganso lupanga kumenyana ndi mtundu wina, kapena kuphunziranso za nkhondo.
4 And every one shall rest under his vine, and every one under his fig tree; and there shall be none to alarm [them]: for the mouth of the Lord Almighty has spoken these [words].
Munthu aliyense adzakhala pansi pa tsinde pa mtengo wake wa mpesa ndi pa tsinde pa mtengo wake wamkuyu, ndipo palibe amene adzawachititse mantha, pakuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wayankhula.
5 For all [other] nations shall walk everyone in his own way, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
Mitundu yonse ya anthu itha kutsatira milungu yawo; ife tidzayenda mʼnjira za Yehova Mulungu wathu mpaka muyaya.
6 In that day, says the Lord, I will gather her that is bruised, and will receive her that is cast out, and those whom I rejected.
“Tsiku limenelo, Yehova akuti, “ndidzasonkhanitsa olumala; ndidzasonkhanitsa pamodzi anthu ochotsedwa ndiponso amene ndinawalanga.
7 And I will make her that was bruised a remnant, and her that was rejected a mighty nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Sion from henceforth, even for ever.
Anthu olumalawo ndidzawasandutsa anthu anga otsala. Anthu amene ndinawachotsa ndidzawasandutsa mtundu wamphamvu. Yehova adzawalamulira mʼPhiri la Yehova kuyambira tsiku limenelo mpaka muyaya.
8 And you, dark tower of the flock, daughter of Sion, on you the dominion shall come and enter in, [even] the first kingdom from Babylon to the daughter of Jerusalem.
Kunena za iwe, nsanja ya ziweto zanga, iwe linga la mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, ulamuliro wako wakale udzabwezeretsedwa kwa iwe; ufumu udzabwera pa mwana wamkazi wa Yerusalemu.”
9 And now, why have you known calamities? was there not a king to you? or has your counsel perished that pangs as of a woman in travail have seized upon you?
Chifukwa chiyani tsopano ukulira mofuwula, kodi ulibe mfumu? Kodi phungu wako wawonongedwa, kotero kuti ululu wako uli ngati wa mayi amene akubereka?
10 Be in pain, and strengthen yourself, and draw near, O daughter of Sion, as a woman in travail: for now you shall go forth out of the city, and shall lodge in the plain, and shall reach even to Babylon: thence shall the Lord your God deliver you, and thence shall he redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.
Gubuduka ndi ululu, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, ngati mayi pa nthawi yake yobereka, pakuti tsopano muyenera kuchoka mu mzinda ndi kugona kunja kwa mzindawo. Udzapita ku Babuloni; kumeneko udzapulumutsidwa, kumeneko Yehova adzakuwombola mʼmanja mwa adani ako.
11 And now have many nations gathered against you, saying, We will rejoice, and our eyes shall look upon Sion.
Koma tsopano mitundu yambiri ya anthu yasonkhana kulimbana nawe. Iwo akuti, “Tiyeni timudetse, maso athu aone chiwonongeko cha Ziyoni!”
12 But they know not the thought of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: for he has gathered them as sheaves of the floor.
Koma iwo sakudziwa maganizo a Yehova; iwo sakuzindikira cholinga chake, Iye amene amawatuta ngati mitolo ya tirigu ku malo opunthira tirigu.
13 Arise, and thresh them, O daughter of Sion: for I will make your horns iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall utterly destroy many nations, and shall consecrate their abundance to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of all the earth.
“Imirira, puntha, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, pakuti ndidzakupatsa nyanga zachitsulo; ndidzakupatsa ziboda zamkuwa ndipo udzaphwanya mitundu yambiri ya anthu.” Phindu lawo lolipeza molakwikalo udzalipereka kwa Yehova, chuma chawo kwa Yehova wa dziko lonse lapansi.
