< Micah 4 >

1 In the last days, the mountain where the Lord's Temple stands will be recognized as the highest of all mountains, rising above other hills. Crowds of people from many places will travel to it.
Ngem iti maudi nga al aldaw, mapasamakto a ti bantay ti balay ni Yahweh ket maipasdekto iti rabaw dagiti kabambantayan. Maitan-okto daytoy iti ngatoen dagiti turod, ket agdarisonto dagiti tattao ditoy.
2 Many nations will come and say, “Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. There God will teach us his ways and we will follow his directions.” God's teachings will spread out from Zion, his word from Jerusalem.
Adu a nasion ti mapan ket kunaenda, “Umaykayo, sumang-attayo idiay bantay ni Yahweh, iti balay ti Dios ni Jacob. Isurona kadatayo dagiti dalanna, ket magnatayo kadagiti dananna. Manipud Sion ket rummuar ti linteg, ken aggapu ti Jerusalem ti sao ni Yahweh.
3 The Lord will decide the cases of the nations, he will settle arguments between distant powerful nations. They will hammer their swords and turn them into plough blades, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not fight against each other anymore; they will no longer learn methods of warfare.
Mangukomto isuna kadagiti adu a tattao ken mangikeddeng ti maipanggep kadagiti adu a nasion iti adayo. Pitpitendanto dagiti kampilanda tapno agbalin nga arado, ken tapno agbalin met a kumpay dagiti gayangda. Saanton nga ilayat ti nasion ti kampilanna a maibusor iti nasion, wenno adalen no kasano ti makigubat.
4 Everyone will be able to sit under their own vine and their own fig tree, for there will be no one to make them afraid. I the Lord Almighty has spoken!
Ngem ketdi, agtugawto ti tunggal maysa a tao iti sirok ti kaubasanna, ken iti sirok ti kayona nga igos. Awanto ti mangpabuteng kadakuada, ta ti ngiwat ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin iti nagsao.
5 Even though all the other nations follow their gods, we will follow the Lord our God forever and ever.
Ta magna amin a tattao, tunggal maysa, iti nagan iti diosda. Ngem magnatayonto iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diostayo iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana.
6 On that day, declares the Lord, I will gather those who are lame, I will bring together those who have been scattered in exile, those whom I punished.
“Iti dayta nga aldaw”, kuna ni Yahweh, “Ummongekto dagiti pilay ket urnongekto dagiti napagtalaw, a pinagsagabak.
7 I will make those who remain, crippled and driven far away, into a strong nation, and the Lord will rule them from Mount Zion forever and ever.
Ket pagbalinekto dagiti pilay a tidda, ken dagiti naitalaw iti nabileg a nasion, ket Siak ni Yahweh ti agturayto kadakuada idiay bantay Sion, ita ken iti agnanayon.
8 And as for you, Jerusalem, watchtower of the flock, your former royal rule and power will be returned to you: the kingdom will be given back to Jerusalem.
Ket sika a pagwanawanan iti arban, turod ti babai nga anak iti Sion, umayto kenka— umayto ti sigud a turay, ti pagarian iti anak a babai ti Jerusalem.
9 So why are you screaming aloud? Don't you have a king? Has the king who advises you died so that pain has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?
Ita, apay nga agsangitka iti nakapigpigsa? Awan kadi ti ari, napukaw kadin ti mammagbagam, dagita nga ut-ot a mangtengtengngel kenka a kasla iti babai nga agpasikal?
10 Thrash around in agony like a woman giving birth, people of Zion—for you will be expelled from the city, forced to camp out in the open, and exiled to Babylon. But the Lord will bring you back, and rescue you from the power of your enemies.
Agtuok ket agpasngayka, anak a babai ti Sion, a kas iti babai nga agpasikal. Ta manipud ita ket rummuarka iti siudad, agnaedka iti langalang, ken mapanka idiay Babilonia. Maispalkanto sadiay. Isalakanakanto sadiay ni Yahweh manipud kadagiti ima ti kabusormo.
11 Right now many enemies are gathered against you, saying, “Let us attack and violate her, so we can look with gloating over Zion!”
Adu a nasion ti naguornong ita a maibusor kenka; ket kunada, 'Matulawan koma isuna; makitatayo koma ti pannakadadael ti Sion.'”
12 But they don't know what the Lord is thinking, and don't understand what he is planning. He has brought them together like bundles of grain to the threshing floor.
Kuna dagiti profeta, Saanda nga ammo dagiti pampanunoten ni Yahweh, ken saanda a maawatan dagiti panggepna, ta inurnongna ida a kasla rineppet iti pagir-irikan.
13 People of Zion, get up and start threshing, for I will make for you iron horns and bronze hooves so you can break many nations into pieces. You will present their stolen plunder to the Lord, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
Kuna ni Yahweh, “Bumangonka ket agirikka, O anak a babai ti Sion, ta aramidekto a landok ti saram, ken aramidekto a gambang ti kukom. Adunto ti maparmekmo a tattao. Siak ni Yahweh ket subliekto dagiti binallikogda a kinabaknang, dagiti sanikuada, subliekto, Siak ti Apo ti sangalubongan.”
