< Micah 4 >

1 But in the last dayes it shall come to passe, that the mountaine of the House of the Lord shall be prepared in the toppe of the mountaines, and it shall bee exalted aboue the hilles, and people shall flowe vnto it.
وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا فِي رَأْسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ فَوْقَ ٱلتِّلَالِ، وَتَجْرِي إِلَيْهِ شُعُوبٌ.١
2 Yea, many nations shall come and say, Come, and let vs goe vp to the Mountaine of the Lord, and to the House of the God of Iaakob, and hee will teache vs his wayes, and we wil walke in his pathes: for the Lawe shall goe forth of Zion, and the worde of the Lord from Ierusalem.
وَتَسِيرُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَيَقُولُونَ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَإِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ، فَيُعَلِّمَنَا مِنْ طُرُقِهِ، وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ». لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ.٢
3 And he shall iudge among many people, and rebuke mightie nations a farre off, and they shall breake their swordes into mattockes, and their speares into sithes: nation shall not lift vp a sword against nation, neither shall they learne to fight any more.
فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ. يُنْصِفُ لِأُمَمٍ قَوِيَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، فَيَطْبَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ سِكَكًا، وَرِمَاحَهُمْ مَنَاجِلَ. لَا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفًا، وَلَا يَتَعَلَّمُونَ ٱلْحَرْبَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.٣
4 But they shall sit euery man vnder his vine, and vnder his figge tree, and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hostes hath spoken it.
بَلْ يَجْلِسُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ تَحْتَ كَرْمَتِهِ وَتَحْتَ تِينَتِهِ، وَلَا يَكُونُ مَنْ يُرْعِبُ، لِأَنَّ فَمَ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ تَكَلَّمَ.٤
5 For all people will walke euery one in the name of his God, and we will walke in the Name of the Lord our God, for euer and euer.
لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ يَسْلُكُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِٱسْمِ إِلَهِهِ، وَنَحْنُ نَسْلُكُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.٥
6 At the same day, saith the Lord, will I gather her that halteth, and I will gather her that is cast out, and her that I haue afflicted.
«فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَجْمَعُ ٱلظَّالِعَةَ، وَأَضُمُّ ٱلْمَطْرُودَةَ، وَٱلَّتِي أَضْرَرْتُ بِهَا٦
7 And I will make her that halted, a remnant, and her that was cast farre off, a mightie nation: and the Lord shall reigne ouer them in Mount Zion, from hence forth euen for euer.
وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلظَّالِعَةَ بَقِيَّةً، وَٱلْمُقْصَاةَ أُمَّةً قَوِيَّةً، وَيَمْلِكُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ مِنَ ٱلْآنَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.٧
8 And thou, O towre of the flock, the strong holde of the daughter Zion, vnto thee shall it come, euen the first dominion, and kingdome shall come to the daughter Ierusalem.
وَأَنْتَ يَا بُرْجَ ٱلْقَطِيعِ، أَكَمَةَ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ إِلَيْكِ يَأْتِي. وَيَجِيءُ ٱلْحُكْمُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ مُلْكُ بِنْتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ».٨
9 Nowe why doest thou crie out with lamentation? is there no King in thee? is thy counseller perished? for sorowe hath taken thee, as a woman in trauaile.
اَلْآنَ لِمَاذَا تَصْرُخِينَ صُرَاخًا؟ أَلَيْسَ فِيكِ مَلِكٌ، أَمْ هَلَكَ مُشِيرُكِ حَتَّى أَخَذَكِ وَجَعٌ كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ؟٩
10 Sorow and mourne, O daughter Zion, like a woman in trauaile: for nowe shalt thou goe foorth of the citie, and dwel in the field, and shalt goe into Babel, but there shalt thou be deliuered: there the Lord shall redeeme thee from the hand of thine enemies.
تَلَوَّيِ، ٱدْفَعِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ، لِأَنَّكِ ٱلْآنَ تَخْرُجِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَتَسْكُنِينَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَتَأْتِينَ إِلَى بَابِلَ. هُنَاكَ تُنْقَذِينَ. هُنَاكَ يَفْدِيكِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِكِ.١٠
11 Nowe also many nations are gathered against thee, saying, Zion shalbe condemned and our eye shall looke vpon Zion.
وَٱلْآنَ قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَيْكِ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ: «لِتَتَدَنَّسْ وَلْتَتَفَرَّسْ عُيُونُنَا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ».١١
12 But they knowe not the thoughtes of the Lord: they vnderstand not his counsell, for he shall gather them as the sheaues in the barne.
وَهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَفْكَارَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ قَصْدَهُ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ جَمَعَهُمْ كَحُزَمٍ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْدَرِ.١٢
13 Arise, and thresh, O daughter Zion: for I will make thine horne yron, and I will make thine hooues brasse, and thou shalt breake in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their riches vnto the Lord, and their substance vnto the ruler of the whole worlde.
«قُومِي وَدُوسِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنِّي أَجْعَلُ قَرْنَكِ حَدِيدًا، وَأَظْلَافَكِ أَجْعَلُهَا نُحَاسًا، فَتَسْحَقِينَ شُعُوبًا كَثِيرِينَ، وَأُحَرِّمُ غَنِيمَتَهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ، وَثَرْوَتَهُمْ لِسَيِّدِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ».١٣
