< Micah 4 >

1 But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of Jehovah's temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it.
وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا فِي رَأْسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ فَوْقَ ٱلتِّلَالِ، وَتَجْرِي إِلَيْهِ شُعُوبٌ.١
2 Many nations will go and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, 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 out of Zion will go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem;
وَتَسِيرُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَيَقُولُونَ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَإِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ، فَيُعَلِّمَنَا مِنْ طُرُقِهِ، وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ». لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ.٢
3 and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more.
فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ. يُنْصِفُ لِأُمَمٍ قَوِيَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، فَيَطْبَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ سِكَكًا، وَرِمَاحَهُمْ مَنَاجِلَ. لَا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفًا، وَلَا يَتَعَلَّمُونَ ٱلْحَرْبَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.٣
4 But they will sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and no one will make them afraid: For the mouth of Jehovah of hosts has spoken.
بَلْ يَجْلِسُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ تَحْتَ كَرْمَتِهِ وَتَحْتَ تِينَتِهِ، وَلَا يَكُونُ مَنْ يُرْعِبُ، لِأَنَّ فَمَ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ تَكَلَّمَ.٤
5 Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever and ever.
لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ يَسْلُكُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِٱسْمِ إِلَهِهِ، وَنَحْنُ نَسْلُكُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.٥
6 "In that day," says Jehovah, "I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;
«فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَجْمَعُ ٱلظَّالِعَةَ، وَأَضُمُّ ٱلْمَطْرُودَةَ، وَٱلَّتِي أَضْرَرْتُ بِهَا٦
7 and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Jehovah will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever."
وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلظَّالِعَةَ بَقِيَّةً، وَٱلْمُقْصَاةَ أُمَّةً قَوِيَّةً، وَيَمْلِكُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ مِنَ ٱلْآنَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.٧
8 And you, tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
وَأَنْتَ يَا بُرْجَ ٱلْقَطِيعِ، أَكَمَةَ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ إِلَيْكِ يَأْتِي. وَيَجِيءُ ٱلْحُكْمُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ مُلْكُ بِنْتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ».٨
9 Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pain has gripped you like a woman in labor?
اَلْآنَ لِمَاذَا تَصْرُخِينَ صُرَاخًا؟ أَلَيْسَ فِيكِ مَلِكٌ، أَمْ هَلَكَ مُشِيرُكِ حَتَّى أَخَذَكِ وَجَعٌ كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ؟٩
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go forth out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There Jehovah will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
تَلَوَّيِ، ٱدْفَعِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ، لِأَنَّكِ ٱلْآنَ تَخْرُجِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَتَسْكُنِينَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَتَأْتِينَ إِلَى بَابِلَ. هُنَاكَ تُنْقَذِينَ. هُنَاكَ يَفْدِيكِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِكِ.١٠
11 Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion."
وَٱلْآنَ قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَيْكِ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ: «لِتَتَدَنَّسْ وَلْتَتَفَرَّسْ عُيُونُنَا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ».١١
12 But they do not know the thoughts of Jehovah, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.
وَهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَفْكَارَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ قَصْدَهُ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ جَمَعَهُمْ كَحُزَمٍ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْدَرِ.١٢
13 Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze; and you will beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain to Jehovah, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
«قُومِي وَدُوسِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنِّي أَجْعَلُ قَرْنَكِ حَدِيدًا، وَأَظْلَافَكِ أَجْعَلُهَا نُحَاسًا، فَتَسْحَقِينَ شُعُوبًا كَثِيرِينَ، وَأُحَرِّمُ غَنِيمَتَهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ، وَثَرْوَتَهُمْ لِسَيِّدِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ».١٣
