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;
Otiia tenei ake kei nga ra whakamutunga ka whakapumautia te maunga i to Ihowa whare ki te tihi o nga maunga, a ka hikitia ki runga ake i nga pukepuke, a ka rere nga iwi ki reira.
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;
A he maha nga iwi e haere, e mea, Haere mai koutou, tatou ka haere ki runga ki te maunga o Ihowa, ki te whare o te Atua o Hakopa, a mana tatou e whakaako ki ana ara, ka haere hoki tatou i ana huarahi; no te mea ka puta mai te ture i Hiona, te kup u hoki a Ihowa i Hiruharama.
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.
A ka whakarite whakawa ia i waenganui i nga iwi maha, ka riria hoki e ia te he o nga iwi kaha i tawhiti; a ka patupatua e ratou a ratou hoari hei hea parau, a ratou tao hei mea tapahi manga; e kore tetahi iwi e hapai hoari ki tetahi iwi, a heoi a no ta ratou ako ki te whawhai.
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.
Engari ka noho ratou, ia tangata, ia tangata, i raro i tana waina, i raro i tana piki; a kahore he tangata hei whakawehi i a ratou: na te mangai hoki o Ihowa o nga mano te korero.
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.
Ka haere hoki nga iwi katoa, ia tangata, ia tangata, i runga i te ingoa o tona atua, a ka haere tatou i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua a ake ake.
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;
A taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa, ka huihuia e ahau te wahine e totitoti ana, ka whakaminea te wahine i peia atu, me ia ano i whakatupuria kinotia e ahau;
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.
A ka meinga e ahau te wahine e totitoti ana hei morehu, me te wahine i maka atu ki tawhiti hei iwi kaha: a ka kingi a Ihowa ki a ratou ki Maunga Hiona aianei a ake tonu atu.
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.
Na ka tae mai ki a koe, e koe, e te pourewa o te kahui, e te taumaihi o te tamahine a Hiona; ae ra, ka tae mai ki a koe te kingitanga o mua ra, te kingitanga o te tamahine a Hiruharama.
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: —
Na, he aha koe i hamama ai? Kahore ianei he kingi i roto i a koe, kua ngaro ranei tou kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, i mau pu ai koe i te mamae me te mea he wahine e whanau ana?
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.
Whakamamae, e ngana kia puta ki waho, e te tamahine a Hiona, kia rite ki te wahine e whanau ana: no te mea ko aianei koe puta ai i roto i te pa, a ka noho ki te parae, a ka tae ki Papurona ra ano; hei reira koe ka whakaorangia; hei reira a Ihowa hoko ai i a koe i te ringa o ou hoariri.
11 Meanwhile, therefore, shall be gathered against thee many nations, —who are saying—Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.
Na, tona maha o nga iwi kua huihui ki te whawhai ki a koe, e mea ana, Tukua ia kia whakapokea, kia kite atu to tatou kanohi i tana koronga i runga i Hiona.
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.
Otira kahore ratou e matau ki nga whakaaro o Ihowa, kahore hoki e mohio ki tana i whakatakoto ai: kua kohikohia hoki ratou e ia ano he paihere ki te patunga witi.
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.
Whakatika ki te patu witi, e te tamahine a Hiona: ka meinga hoki e ahau tou haona hei rino, ka meinga hoki e ahau ou paua hei parahi: a he maha nga iwi e patupatua e koe a mongamonga noa: a mau e whakatapu ma Ihowa nga mea i apohia mai e ratou, o ratou rawa ma te Ariki o te whenua katoa.
