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.
Nna a ɛdi akyire no mu no, Awurade asɔredan bepɔ no bɛtim sɛ mmepɔ no nyinaa ti; ɛbɛgye din aboro nkokoɔ nyinaa, na nnipa ahodoɔ bɛbɔ yuu akɔ hɔ.
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.
Aman bebree bɛba abɛka sɛ, “Mommra mma yɛnkɔ Awurade bepɔ so, Yakob Onyankopɔn efie. Ɔbɛkyerɛ yɛn nʼakwan, sɛdeɛ yɛbɛnante soɔ.” Na mmara no bɛfiri Sion aba Awurade asɛm bɛfiri Yerusalem aba.
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.
Awurade bɛdi amanaman ntam nsɛm Aane ɔbɛsiesie ntawantawa ama aman a wɔyɛ den wɔ mmaa nyinaa. Wɔde wɔn akofena bɛbɔ funtumdadeɛ wɔde wɔn mpea bɛbɔ nsɔsɔwa. Ɔman bi ntwe ɔman foforɔ so akofena, na wɔrenyɛ ahoboa biara mma ɔko bio.
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.
Obiara bɛtena ne bobe anaa ne borɔdɔma nnua ase, na obiara remmɛhunahuna wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, Asafo Awurade akasa.
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.
Amanaman no nyinaa bɛtumi anante wɔn anyame din mu, na yɛn deɛ, yɛbɛnante Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn Din mu daa daa.
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.
“Saa ɛda no,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, “Mɛboaboa mmubuafoɔ, atukɔfoɔ ɛne wɔn a mede awerɛhoɔ aba wɔn so ano.
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.
Mɛma mmubuafoɔ ayɛ me nkurɔfoɔ wɔ asase no so, atukɔfoɔ no bɛyɛ ɔman kɛseɛ. Awurade bɛdi wɔn so ɔhene wɔ Sion bepɔ so afiri da no akɔsi daa.
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.”
Na wo, nnwankuo no abantenten, Ao, Ɔbabaa Sion, abandenden, wɔde wo tete tumidie no bɛsane abrɛ wo; Ɔbabaa Yerusalem nsa bɛsane aka nʼahennie.”
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?
Ɛdeɛn enti na afei woresu denden, wonni ɔhene anaa? Wo futufoɔ ayera, na enti, ɔyea aka wo sɛ ɔbaa ɔwɔ awokoɔ mu?
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.
Ɔyea enti, nukanuka wo mu, Ao Ɔbabaa Sion, te sɛ ɔbaa a awoɔ aka no, seesei ɛsɛ sɛ wofiri kuropɔn no mu kɔtena ɛserɛ so. Wobɛkɔ Babilonia; na ɛhɔ na wɔbɛgye woɔ. Ɛhɔ na Awurade bɛgye wo afiri wʼatamfoɔ nsam.
11 And now, many nations have gathered against you, who are saying: “Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.”
Seesei deɛ, aman bebree aka abɔ mu atia wo. Wɔka sɛ, “Wɔngu Sion ho fi, na yɛmfa yɛn ani nhwɛ no!”
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.
Nanso, wɔnnim Awurade adwene. Wɔnte nʼagyinatuo ase. Wɔnnim sɛ ɔno na ɔboaboa wɔn ano te sɛ afiafi de kɔ ayuporobea.
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!
“Sɔre, na pore, Ao Ɔbabaa Sion, mɛma wo dadeɛ mmɛn; mɛma wo kɔbere ntɔte na wobɛbubu aman bebree mu nketenkete.” Wode wɔn mfasodeɛ a wɔampɛ no ɛkwan pa so bɛbrɛ Awurade, wode wɔn ahonyadeɛ bɛbrɛ asase nyinaa so wura.
