Micah 4

1 But it shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days, that the mountain of the house of Yahweh shall be, set up, as the head of the mountains, and, exalted, shall it be, above the hills, —and peoples, shall stream thereunto;

到末日，上主火聖殿山必要矗立在群山之上，超乎一切山岳，萬民都要向它湧來；

2 Yea many nations, shall go, and say—come ye, and let us ascend unto the mountain of Yahweh, and unto the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us of his ways, and we may walk in his paths, —for, out of Zion, shall go forth a law, and, the word of Yahweh, out of Jerusalem;

將有許多民族前來說：「來，我們攀登上主的聖山，往雅各伯天主的殿裏去! 衪必指示我們衪的道路，教給我們循行衪的途徑，因為法律將出自熙雍，上主將出自熙雍，上主的話將出自耶路撒冷。」

3 And he will judge between many peoples, and be umpire to strong nations far and wide, —and they will beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks, Nation—against nation—shall not lift up sword, neither shall they learn—any more—to make war.

衪將統治萬民，遠處的強國宣佈定案；他們必要把自己的刀劍鑄成鋤頭，將自己的槍矛製成鐮刀；民族與民族不再持刀相向，人也不再學習武鬥；

4 And they shall dwell—every man—under his own vine and under his own fig-tree, with none to make them afraid, —for, the mouth of Yahweh of hosts, hath spoken.

各人只坐在自家葡萄樹和無花果樹下，無人來驚擾，因為萬軍的上主親口說了。

5 For, all the peoples, walk, every man in the name of his god, —we, therefore, will walk in the name of Yahweh our God, to times age-abiding and beyond.

雖然萬民各奉自己神祗之名而生活，但是我們卻永遠奉上主我們天主之名而生活。

6 In that day, Declareth Yahweh, will I take up her teat is lame, and, her that hath been an outcast, will I carry, —even whomsoever I have afflicted;

到那一日，──上主的斷語──我要聚集跛行的人，集合被驅散和我所磨難的人；

7 And will make of her that was lame a residue, and of her that was removed far away a strong nation, —and Yahweh, shall be king, over them, in Mount Zion, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.

我必使跛行的人成為遺民，使離散的人成為強大的民族。從今以後，我，上主要在熙雍山上作他們的君王，以至永遠。

8 Thou, therefore, O Migdal-eder, mound of the daughter of Zion, as far as thee, shall it come, —so shall arrive the chief dominion, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

你這羊群的守望台，熙雍女子的高崗，昔日的王權必再歸於你，耶路撒冷女子的王國必再臨。

9 Meanwhile, wherefore shouldst thou cry out aloud? King, is there none within thee? or hath, thy counselor, perished? for labour, hath seized thee, as a woman in child-birth: —

現在你為什麼高呼﹖難道你們中間沒有了君王，或者妳的參議已喪亡，令妳痛苦，像臨產的婦女﹖

10 Be in labour, and bear, O daughter of Zion, as a woman in child-birth, —for, meanwhile, shalt thou go forth out of the city, and dwell in the field, and shalt come as far as Babylon, there, shalt thou be delivered, there, will Yahweh, redeem thee, out of the grasp of thine enemies.

熙雍女子，妳應輾轉呻吟，像個臨產的婦女，因為現在妳應出城，住在田野，並且要到巴比倫去，在那裏你將獲救；在那裏，上主你的的天主，要從仇敵中把妳贖回。

11 Meanwhile, therefore, shall be gathered against thee many nations, —who are saying—Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.

現在許多異族集合起來攻擊妳說：「願她赤身裸體，願我們親眼見到熙雍滅亡! 」

12 But, they, know not the purposes of Yahweh, neither have they discerned his counsel, —for he hath gathered them, as sheaves, to a threshing-floor.

但是他們不知道上主的心意，不明白衪的策略，原來是上主集合了他們，如把禾梱收在禾場上一樣。

13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for, thy horn, will I make to be iron, and, thy hoofs, will I make to he bronze, so shalt thou beat in pieces many peoples, —and shalt devote to Yahweh their unrighteous gain, and their substance, to the Lord of all the earth.

熙雍女子，起來打場吧! 因為我要使妳們的角變成鐵角，使妳的蹄變成銅蹄，使妳踏碎許多民族；妳將他們的戰利品奉獻給上主，將他們的財寶o石全地的主宰。
