< Micah 4 >

1 But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of the LORD'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.
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 Many nations will go 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 out of Zion will go forth the law, and the word of the LORD 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 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.
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 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 the LORD of hosts has spoken.
Obiara bɛtena ne bobe anaa ne borɔdɔma nnua ase, na obiara remmɛhunahuna wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, Asafo Awurade akasa.
5 Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
Amanaman no nyinaa bɛtumi anante wɔn anyame din mu, na yɛn deɛ, yɛbɛnante Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn Din mu daa daa.
6 "In that day," says the LORD, "I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which 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 will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever."
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, 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.
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 cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pain has gripped you like a woman in labor?
Ɛdeɛn enti na afei woresu denden, wonni ɔhene anaa? Wo futufoɔ ayera, na enti, ɔyea aka wo sɛ ɔbaa ɔwɔ awokoɔ mu?
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 the LORD will redeem 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 Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion."
Seesei deɛ, aman bebree aka abɔ mu atia wo. Wɔka sɛ, “Wɔngu Sion ho fi, na yɛmfa yɛn ani nhwɛ no!”
12 But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the 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, 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 the LORD, and their substance 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.
