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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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," 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;
Na ta dan, « govori Gospod, »bom zbral tisto, kar šepa in zbral tisto, kar je izgnano in tisto, kar sem prizadel.
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."
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, 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.
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 cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pain has gripped you like a woman in labor?
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 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.
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 Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion."
Sedaj je tudi mnogo narodov zbranih zoper tebe, ki pravijo: ›Naj bo omadeževana in naj naše oko gleda na Sion.
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.
Toda oni ne poznajo Gospodovih misli niti ne razumejo njegovega nasveta, kajti zbral jih bo kakor snope na mlatišču.
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.
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.«
