< Micah 4 >
1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow to it.
Mʼmasiku otsiriza, phiri la Nyumba ya Yehova adzalikhazikitsa kukhala lalitali kuposa mapiri ena onse. Lidzaonekera pamwamba pa mapiri ena onse, ndipo anthu amitundu yonse adzathamangira kumeneko.
2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Mayiko ambiri adzabwera ndikunena kuti, “Tiyeni, tikwere ku phiri la Yehova, ku nyumba ya Mulungu wa Yakobo. Iye adzatiphunzitsa njira zake, ndipo tidzayenda mʼnjira zakezo.” Malangizo adzachokera ku Ziyoni, mawu a Yehova adzachokera ku Yerusalemu.
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Iye adzaweruza pakati pa anthu amitundu yambiri ndipo adzathetsa kusamvana pakati pa anthu amphamvu akutali ndi apafupi omwe. Anthuwo adzasandutsa malupanga awo kukhala makasu ndiponso mikondo yawo kukhala zomwetera. Mtundu wina sudzatenganso lupanga kumenyana ndi mtundu wina, kapena kuphunziranso za nkhondo.
4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken it.
Munthu aliyense adzakhala pansi pa tsinde pa mtengo wake wa mpesa ndi pa tsinde pa mtengo wake wamkuyu, ndipo palibe amene adzawachititse mantha, pakuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wayankhula.
5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
Mitundu yonse ya anthu itha kutsatira milungu yawo; ife tidzayenda mʼnjira za Yehova Mulungu wathu mpaka muyaya.
6 In that day, says the LORD, will I assemble her that halts, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
“Tsiku limenelo, Yehova akuti, “ndidzasonkhanitsa olumala; ndidzasonkhanitsa pamodzi anthu ochotsedwa ndiponso amene ndinawalanga.
7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from now on, even for ever.
Anthu olumalawo ndidzawasandutsa anthu anga otsala. Anthu amene ndinawachotsa ndidzawasandutsa mtundu wamphamvu. Yehova adzawalamulira mʼPhiri la Yehova kuyambira tsiku limenelo mpaka muyaya.
8 And you, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, to you shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
Kunena za iwe, nsanja ya ziweto zanga, iwe linga la mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, ulamuliro wako wakale udzabwezeretsedwa kwa iwe; ufumu udzabwera pa mwana wamkazi wa Yerusalemu.”
9 Now why do you cry out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counselor perished? for pangs have taken you as a woman in travail.
Chifukwa chiyani tsopano ukulira mofuwula, kodi ulibe mfumu? Kodi phungu wako wawonongedwa, kotero kuti ululu wako uli ngati wa mayi amene akubereka?
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city, and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon; there shall you be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
Gubuduka ndi ululu, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, ngati mayi pa nthawi yake yobereka, pakuti tsopano muyenera kuchoka mu mzinda ndi kugona kunja kwa mzindawo. Udzapita ku Babuloni; kumeneko udzapulumutsidwa, kumeneko Yehova adzakuwombola mʼmanja mwa adani ako.
11 Now also many nations are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look on Zion.
Koma tsopano mitundu yambiri ya anthu yasonkhana kulimbana nawe. Iwo akuti, “Tiyeni timudetse, maso athu aone chiwonongeko cha Ziyoni!”
12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
Koma iwo sakudziwa maganizo a Yehova; iwo sakuzindikira cholinga chake, Iye amene amawatuta ngati mitolo ya tirigu ku malo opunthira tirigu.
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
“Imirira, puntha, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, pakuti ndidzakupatsa nyanga zachitsulo; ndidzakupatsa ziboda zamkuwa ndipo udzaphwanya mitundu yambiri ya anthu.” Phindu lawo lolipeza molakwikalo udzalipereka kwa Yehova, chuma chawo kwa Yehova wa dziko lonse lapansi.
