Micah 4
1 And it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of the house of YHWH Is established above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the hills, And flowed to it have peoples.
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 gone have many nations and said, “Come and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, And to the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths,” For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH 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 has judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations far off, They have beaten their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn war anymore.
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 And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of YHWH of Hosts has spoken.
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 the peoples walk, Each in the name of its god—and we, We walk in the Name of our God YHWH, For all time and forever.
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,” a declaration of YHWH, “I gather the halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she whom 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 have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off for a mighty nation, And YHWH has reigned over them in Mount Zion, From now on, and for all time.
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 Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion, to you it comes, Indeed, the former rule has come in, The kingdom 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 shout aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, That pain as of a travailing woman has taken hold of you?
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 pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now you go forth from the city, And you have dwelt in the field, And you have gone to Babylon, There you are delivered, There YHWH redeems 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 And now, many nations have gathered against you, who are saying: “Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.”
Sedaj je tudi mnogo narodov zbranih zoper tebe, ki pravijo: ›Naj bo omadeževana in naj naše oko gleda na Sion.
12 They have not known the thoughts of YHWH, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He has gathered them as a sheaf [into] a threshing-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 make your horn iron, And I make your hooves bronze, And you have beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to YHWH their gain, And their wealth to 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.«
