< 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.
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 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.
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。 他們要將刀打成誆頭, 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 the LORD 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 god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD 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 counsellor 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 the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord 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。
