< 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 unto it.
Toda v poslednjih dneh se bo zgodilo, da bo gora hiše Gospodove utrjena na vrhu gora in ta bo povišana nad hribe, in ljudstvo se bo stekalo k njej.
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 out of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
In številni narodi bodo prišli ter rekli: »Pridite, pojdimo gor do Gospodove gore in do hiše Jakobovega Boga in učil nas bo svojih poti in hodili bomo po njegovih stezah, kajti postava bo izšla iz Siona in Gospodova beseda iz Jeruzalema.«
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations far 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.
Sodil bo med mnogimi ljudstvi in oštel oddaljene močne narode in svoje meče bodo prekovali v lemeže in svoje sulice v obrezovalne kavlje. Narod ne bo vzdignil meča zoper narod niti se ne bodo več učili vojskovanja.
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.
Temveč bodo sedeli, vsak pod svojo trto in pod svojim figovim drevesom in nihče jih ne bo strašil, kajti usta Gospoda nad bojevniki so to govorila.
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.
Kajti vsa ljudstva bodo hodila, vsako v imenu svojega boga, mi pa bomo hodili v imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga, na veke vekov.
6 In that day, says the LORD, will I assemble her that haltes, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
Na ta dan, « govori Gospod, »bom zbral tisto, kar šepa in zbral tisto, kar je izgnano in tisto, kar sem prizadel.
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 henceforth, even for ever.
Tisto, kar šepa, bom naredil ostanek in tisto, ki je bilo vrženo daleč proč, močan narod, in Gospod bo kraljeval nad njimi na gori Sion od zdaj naprej, celo na veke.
8 And you, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
Ti pa, oh stolp tropa, oporišče hčere sionske, k tebi bo prišlo, celo prvo gospostvo, kraljestvo bo prišlo k jeruzalemski hčeri.
9 Now why do you cry out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counsellor perished? for pangs have taken you as a woman in travail.
Zakaj torej kričiš na glas? Mar ni kralja v tebi? Je tvoj svetovalec izginil? Kajti ostre bolečine so te zgrabile kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.
10 Be in pain, and labour 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.
Bodi v bolečini in trudi se, da rodiš, oh hči sionska, kakor ženska v porodnih mukah, kajti sedaj boš šla naprej iz mesta in prebivala boš na polju in šla boš celo do Babilona. Tam boš osvobojena, tam te bo Gospod odkupil iz roke tvojih sovražnikov.
11 Now also many nations are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
Sedaj je tudi mnogo narodov zbranih zoper tebe, ki pravijo: ›Naj bo omadeževana in naj naše oko gleda na Sion.
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.
Toda oni ne poznajo Gospodovih misli niti ne razumejo njegovega nasveta, kajti zbral jih bo kakor snope na mlatišču.
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 unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
Vzdigni se in mlati, oh hči sionska, kajti tvoj rog bom naredil železo in tvoja kopita bom naredil bron. Na koščke boš zdrobila številna ljudstva in njihov dobiček bom posvetil Gospodu in njihovo imetje Gospodu celotne zemlje.«
