< 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.
Nna a edi akyi no mu no, Awurade asɔredan bepɔw no betim sɛ mmepɔw no nyinaa ti; ebegye din aboro nkoko nyinaa, na nnipa ahorow bɛbɔ yuu akɔ hɔ.
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.
Aman bebree bɛba abɛka se, “Mommra mma yɛnkɔ Awurade bepɔw no so, nkɔ Yakob Nyankopɔn fi. Ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn nʼakwan sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛbɛnantew nʼatempɔn so.” Mmara no befi Sion aba, na Awurade asɛm afi Yerusalem.
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.
Obebu amanaman ntam atɛn na obesiesie nnipa bebree ntam asɛm. Wɔde wɔn afoa bɛbobɔ nsɔw na wɔde wɔn mpeaw ayɛ asosɔw. Ɔman bi rentwe ɔman foforo so afoa, na wɔrenyɛ ahoboa biara mma ɔko bio.
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.
Obiara bɛtena ne bobe anaa ne borɔdɔma nnua ase, na obiara remmehunahuna wɔn, efisɛ, Asafo Awurade akasa.
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.
Amanaman no nyinaa betumi anantew wɔn anyame din mu, na yɛn de, yɛbɛnantew Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn Din mu daa daa.
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.
“Saa da no,” sɛnea Awurade se ni, “Mɛboaboa mmubuafo, atukɔfo ɛne wɔn a mede awerɛhow aba wɔn so ano.
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.
Mɛma mmubuafo ayɛ me nkurɔfo wɔ asase no so, atukɔfo no bɛyɛ ɔman kɛse. Awurade bedi wɔn so hene wɔ Sion bepɔw so afi da no akosi daa.
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.
Na wo, nguankuw no abantenten, Ɔbabea Sion, abandennen, wɔde wo tete tumidi no bɛsan abrɛ wo; Ɔbabea Yerusalem nsa bɛsan aka nʼahenni.”
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.
Adɛn nti na afei woresu dennen, wunni ɔhene ana? Wo futufo ayera, na enti ɔyaw aka wo sɛ ɔbea a ɔwɔ awoko mu?
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.
Bukabukaw wo mu wɔ yawdi mu, Ɔbabea Sion, te sɛ ɔbea a awo aka no, mprempren ɛsɛ sɛ wufi kuropɔn no mu kɔtena sare so. Wobɛkɔ Babilonia; na hɔ na wobegye wo. Ɛhɔ na Awurade begye wo afi wʼatamfo nsam.
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.”
Mprempren de, aman bebree aka abɔ mu atia wo. Wɔka se, “Wongu Sion ho fi, na yɛmfa yɛn ani nhwɛ no!”
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.
Nanso wonnim Awurade adwene. Wɔnte nʼagyinatu ase. Wonnim sɛ ɔno na ɔboaboa wɔn ano te sɛ afiafi de kɔ awiporowbea.
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.
“Sɔre, na porow, Ɔbabea Sion, mɛma wo dade mmɛn; mɛma wo kɔbere tɔte na wubebubu aman bebree mu nketenkete.” Wode wɔn mfaso a wɔampɛ no ɔkwan pa so bɛbrɛ Awurade, wode wɔn ahonyade bɛbrɛ asase nyinaa so wura.
