< 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.
末後的日子, 耶和華殿的山必堅立, 超乎諸山,高舉過於萬嶺; 萬民都要流歸這山。
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.
必有許多國的民前往,說: 來吧,我們登耶和華的山, 奔雅各上帝的殿。 主必將他的道教訓我們; 我們也要行他的路。 因為訓誨必出於錫安; 耶和華的言語必出於耶路撒冷。
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.
他必在多國的民中施行審判, 為遠方強盛的國斷定是非。 他們要將刀打成犂頭, 把槍打成鐮刀。 這國不舉刀攻擊那國; 他們也不再學習戰事。
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].
人人都要坐在自己葡萄樹下 和無花果樹下,無人驚嚇。 這是萬軍之耶和華親口說的。
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.
萬民各奉己神的名而行; 我們卻永永遠遠奉耶和華-我們上帝的名而行。
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.
耶和華說:到那日, 我必聚集瘸腿的, 招聚被趕出的和我所懲治的。
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.
我必使瘸腿的為餘剩之民, 使趕到遠方的為強盛之民。 耶和華要在錫安山作王治理他們, 從今直到永遠。
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.
你這羊群的高臺、錫安城的山哪, 從前的權柄- 就是耶路撒冷民的國權- 必歸與你。
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?
現在你為何大聲哭號呢? 疼痛抓住你彷彿產難的婦人, 是因你中間沒有君王嗎? 你的謀士滅亡了嗎?
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.
錫安的民哪, 你要疼痛劬勞,彷彿產難的婦人; 因為你必從城裏出來, 住在田野,到巴比倫去。 在那裏要蒙解救; 在那裏耶和華必救贖你脫離仇敵的手。
11 And now have many nations gathered against you, saying, We will rejoice, and our eyes shall look upon Sion.
現在有許多國的民聚集攻擊你,說: 願錫安被玷污! 願我們親眼見她遭報!
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.
他們卻不知道耶和華的意念, 也不明白他的籌劃。 他聚集他們,好像把禾捆聚到禾場一樣。
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.
錫安的民哪,起來踹穀吧! 我必使你的角成為鐵, 使你的蹄成為銅。 你必打碎多國的民, 將他們的財獻與耶和華, 將他們的貨獻與普天下的主。
