< Micah 4 >

1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of YHWH shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
末後的日子, 耶和華殿的山必堅立, 超乎諸山,高舉過於萬嶺; 萬民都要流歸這山。
2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YHWH, and to the house of the Elohim 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 YHWH from Jerusalem.
必有許多國的民前往,說: 來吧,我們登耶和華的山, 奔雅各上帝的殿。 主必將他的道教訓我們; 我們也要行他的路。 因為訓誨必出於錫安; 耶和華的言語必出於耶路撒冷。
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 pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more
他必在多國的民中施行審判, 為遠方強盛的國斷定是非。 他們要將刀打成犂頭, 把槍打成鐮刀。 這國不舉刀攻擊那國; 他們也不再學習戰事。
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 YHWH of hosts hath spoken it.
人人都要坐在自己葡萄樹下 和無花果樹下,無人驚嚇。 這是萬軍之耶和華親口說的。
5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his elohim, and we will walk in the name of YHWH our Elohim for ever and ever.
萬民各奉己神的名而行; 我們卻永永遠遠奉耶和華-我們上帝的名而行。
6 In that day, saith YHWH, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
耶和華說:到那日, 我必聚集瘸腿的, 招聚被趕出的和我所懲治的。
7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and YHWH shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
我必使瘸腿的為餘剩之民, 使趕到遠方的為強盛之民。 耶和華要在錫安山作王治理他們, 從今直到永遠。
8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
你這羊群的高臺、錫安城的山哪, 從前的權柄- 就是耶路撒冷民的國權- 必歸與你。
9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counseller perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
現在你為何大聲哭號呢? 疼痛抓住你彷彿產難的婦人, 是因你中間沒有君王嗎? 你的謀士滅亡了嗎?
10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there YHWH shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
錫安的民哪, 你要疼痛劬勞,彷彿產難的婦人; 因為你必從城裏出來, 住在田野,到巴比倫去。 在那裏要蒙解救; 在那裏耶和華必救贖你脫離仇敵的手。
11 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
現在有許多國的民聚集攻擊你,說: 願錫安被玷污! 願我們親眼見她遭報!
12 But they know not the thoughts of YHWH, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
他們卻不知道耶和華的意念, 也不明白他的籌劃。 他聚集他們,好像把禾捆聚到禾場一樣。
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto YHWH, and their substance unto the Master of the whole earth.
錫安的民哪,起來踹穀吧! 我必使你的角成為鐵, 使你的蹄成為銅。 你必打碎多國的民, 將他們的財獻與耶和華, 將他們的貨獻與普天下的主。
