Micah 4

1 And this shall be: In the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared at the top of the mountains and high above the hills. And the people will flow to it.

١ وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يُصْبِحُ أَشْهَرَ الْجِبَالِ، وَيَعْلُو فَوْقَ كُلِّ التِّلالِ، فَتَتَقَاطَرُ إِلَيْهِ شُعُوبٌ عَدِيدَةٌ،

2 And many nations will hurry, and will say: “Come, let us ascend to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

٢ وَتُقْبِلُ إِلَيْهِ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ قَائِلَةً: «تَعَالَوْا لِنَصْعَدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، إِلَى هَيْكَلِ يَعْقُوبَ لِيُعَلِّمَنَا طُرُقَهُ فَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ، لأَنَّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ الشَّرِيعَةُ وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تُذَاعُ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ».

3 And he will judge among the many peoples, and he will correct strong nations, even from afar. And they will cut up their swords into plows, and their spears into hoes. Nation will not take up the sword against nation, and they will no longer learn to wage war.

٣ فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الْكَثِيرَةِ وَيُمْلِي أَحْكَامَهُ بِعَدْلٍ عَلَى أُمَمٍ قَوِيَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، فَيَصْنَعُونَ مِنْ سُيُوفِهِمْ أَسِنَّةَ مَحَارِيثَ، وَمِنْ رِمَاحِهِمْ مَنَاجِلَ حَصَادٍ، فَلا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفاً وَلا يَتَلَقَّنُونَ فُنُونَ الْحَرْبِ بَعْدُ.

4 And a man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one to fear, for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.

٤ بَلْ يَجْلِسُ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ تَحْتَ كَرْمِهِ وَتَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ تِينَتِهِ وَلا يُرْعِبُهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ بَعْدُ، لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.

5 For all people will walk, each one in the name of his god. But we will walk in the name of the Lord our God, forever and ever.

٥ فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ تَسْلُكُ بِاسْمِ إِلَهِهَا، أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَسْلُكُ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ.

6 In that day, says the Lord, I will gather together the lame. And I will recover her whom I had rejected, and her whom I had afflicted.

٦ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أَجْمَعُ الْعُرْجَ، وَأَضُمُّ الْمَطْرُودِينَ وَكُلَّ الَّذِينَ أَنْزَلْتُ بِهِمِ الْبَلاءَ.

7 And I will place the lame within the remnant, and she who had been in distress, within a healthy people. And the Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion, from the present time and even unto eternity.

٧ فَأَجْعَلُ مِنَ الْعُرْجِ بَقِيَّةً، وَمِنَ الْمَنْبُوذِينَ أُمَّةً قَوِيَّةً، فَيَمْلِكُ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ.

8 And you, cloudy tower of the flock of the daughter of Zion, even to you it will come. And the first power will arrive, the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.

٨ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا بُرْجَ الْقَطِيعِ، يَا تَلَّةَ ابْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ، إِلَيْكِ يَعُودُ الْحُكْمُ الأَوَّلُ، مُلْكُ ابْنَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

9 Now, why have you come together in grief? Is there not a king in you, or has your counselor gone away? For sorrow has overtaken you, like the pain of giving birth.

٩ لِمَاذَا تَنُوحِينَ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ؟ أَلَيْسَ فِيكِ مَلِكٌ؟ هَلْ هَلَكَ مُشِيرُكِ حَتَّى أَلَمَّ بِكِ الأَلَمُ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ.

10 Be grieved and overwhelmed, daughter of Zion, like a woman giving birth. For now you must depart from the city and dwell in the countryside, and you will approach even to Babylon. There you will be delivered. There the Lord will redeem you from the hand of your adversaries.

١٠ تَلَوَّيْ وَجَعاً وَتَأَوَّهِي يَا ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُعَانِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ، لأَنَّكِ الآنَ تَخْرُجِينَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ لِتُقِيمِي فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. سَتَذْهَبِينَ إِلَى بَابِلَ، وَهُنَاكَ يَتِمُّ إِنْقَاذُكِ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَفْتَدِيكِ هُنَاكَ مِنْ أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِكِ.

11 And now many peoples have been gathered together against you, and they say, “Let her be stoned and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”

١١ وَالآنَ هَا أُمَمٌ غَفِيرَةٌ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَيْكِ قَائِلَةً: «لِتَتَدَنَّسْ أُورُشَلِيمُ حَتَّى تَتَفَرَّسَ عُيُونُنَا فِي خَرَابِهَا».

12 But they have not known the thoughts of the Lord, and they have not understood his counsel. For he has gathered them together like hay on a threshing floor.

١٢ لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا نَوَايَا الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَقَاصِدَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ جَمَعَهُمْ كَأَكْدَاسٍ إِلَى الْبَيْدَرِ لِيُعَاقِبَهُمْ.

13 Rise and thresh, daughter of Zion. For I will set your horn like iron, and I will set your hoofs like brass. And you will shatter many peoples, and you will immolate their spoils for the Lord, and their strength for the Lord of the whole earth.

١٣ فَانْهَضِي يَا ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ وَادْرُسِي أَعْدَاءَكِ، لأَنِّي سَأَجْعَلُ لَكِ قَرْناً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَأَظْلافاً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ فَتَسْحَقِينَ أُمَماً كَثِيرَةً، وَتُكَرِّسِينَ كُلَّ مَا تَغْنَمِينَهُ مِنْهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ، وَتُقَدِّمِينَ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ لِسَيِّدِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.
