< 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.
Matukũ-inĩ ma kũrigĩrĩria, kĩrĩma kĩrĩa kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova nĩgĩkahaandwo kĩrĩ kĩo kĩnene gatagatĩ ka irĩma iria ingĩ; nĩgĩkambarario igũrũ rĩa tũrĩma tũrĩa tũngĩ, nao andũ a ndũrĩrĩ nĩkuo magaathiiaga.
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;
Ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ igaathiĩ kuo, ikiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai twambate tũthiĩ kĩrĩma‑inĩ kĩa Jehova, tũthiĩ nyũmba ya Ngai wa Jakubu. Nĩagatũruta ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yake, nĩgeetha tũgeragĩre njĩra ciake.” Nĩgũkorwo Zayuni nĩgũkoima ũtaarani, nakuo Jerusalemu kuume ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova.
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.
Nĩagatuithania ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ ciira, nacio ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ hinya cia kuuma kũraya aciiguithanie. Magaatura hiũ ciao cia njora ituĩke hiũ cia mĩraũ, namo matimũ mao maturwo hiũ cia gũceeha mĩtĩ. Gũtirĩ rũrĩrĩ rũgaacooka kũrũa na rũrĩa rũngĩ na hiũ cia njora, kana rũcooke kwĩruta ũhoro wa mbaara rĩngĩ.
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.
O mũndũ agaikaraga gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũthabibũ wake na aikarage gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũkũyũ wake, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaamamakia, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe oigĩte.
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.
Andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe no marũmĩrĩre kĩrĩra kĩa ngai ciao; no ithuĩ tũrĩrũmagĩrĩra kĩrĩra kĩa Jehova Ngai witũ nginya tene na tene.
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;
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngacookanĩrĩria ithua; na nĩngacookanĩrĩria arĩa matahĩtwo, o na arĩa nyariirithĩtie.
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."
Ithua nĩngacitua matigari, na arĩa maingatĩtwo ndĩmatue rũrĩrĩ rũrĩ hinya. Jehova nĩwe ũkamaathaga arĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni, kuuma mũthenya ũcio nginya tene.
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.
Ha ũhoro waku, wee mũthiringo ũyũ mũraihu na igũrũ wa kũrangĩra rũũru rwa mbũri, o wee kĩĩhitho kĩrũmu kĩa Mwarĩ wa Zayuni-rĩ, wathani ũrĩa warĩ naguo mbere nĩũgagũcookerera; naguo ũthamaki wa Mwarĩ wa Jerusalemu ũmũcookerere.”
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?
Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩkĩ kĩratũma ũrĩre wanĩrĩire, kaĩ ũtarĩ na mũthamaki? Kaĩ ũkuĩrĩirwo nĩ mũkũhei kĩrĩra, tondũ wanyiitwo nĩ ruo rũhaana ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo?
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.
Wĩnyogonde nĩ ruo, wee Mwarĩ wa Zayuni, o ta mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo, nĩgũkorwo rĩu no nginya uume itũũra inene ũgaikare nja werũ-inĩ. Nĩũgathiĩ Babuloni; kũu nĩkuo ũkaahonokerio. Kũu nĩkuo Jehova agaagũkũũra kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ ciaku.
11 Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion."
No rĩrĩ, ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ nĩicookanĩrĩire, igũũkĩrĩre. Iroiga atĩrĩ, “Rekei anyiitwo nĩ thaahu, rekei maitho maitũ mathekerere Zayuni!”
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.
No cio itingĩmenya meciiria ma Jehova; o na itiũĩ mũbango wake, o we ũrĩa ũcicookanagĩrĩria ta itĩĩa cia ngano kĩhũrĩro-inĩ.
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.
“Arahũka, wee Mwarĩ wa Zayuni, ũhũũre ngano ĩyo, nĩgũkorwo nĩngakũhe hĩa cia kĩgera; nĩngakũhe mahũngũ ma gĩcango nawe nĩũkahehenja ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ.” Uumithio ũcio meyoeire na njĩra ĩtarĩ ya kĩhooto nĩũkawamũrĩra Jehova, ũtonga wao ũwamũrĩre Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.
