< 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;
Ní ọjọ́ ìkẹyìn a ó fi òkè ilé Olúwa lélẹ̀ lórí àwọn òkè ńlá, a ó sì gbé e ga ju àwọn òkè kéékèèké lọ, àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì máa wọ̀ sínú rẹ̀.
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;
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè yóò wá, wọn yóò sì wí pé, “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí á gòkè ńlá Olúwa, àti sí ilé Ọlọ́run Jakọbu. Òun yóò sì kọ́ wa ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, kí àwa kí ó lè rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀.” Òfin yóò jáde láti Sioni wá, àti ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa láti Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Òun yóò sì ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn, yóò sì parí aáwọ̀ fún orílẹ̀-èdè alágbára jíjìn réré. Wọn yóò sì fi idà wọn rọ ohun èlò ìtulẹ̀ àti ọ̀kọ̀ wọn di dòjé orílẹ̀-èdè kì yóò gbé idà sókè sí orílẹ̀-èdè mọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì yóò kọ́ ogun jíjà mọ́.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n olúkúlùkù yóò jókòó lábẹ́ àjàrà rẹ̀ àti lábẹ́ igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ rẹ̀, ẹnìkan kì yóò sì dẹ́rùbà wọ́n, nítorí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti sọ̀rọ̀.
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.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ń rìn, olúkúlùkù ni orúkọ ọlọ́run tirẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n àwa yóò máa rìn ní orúkọ Olúwa. Ọlọ́run wa láé àti láéláé.
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;
“Ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Èmi yóò kó àwọn arọ jọ; èmi yóò sì ṣà àwọn tí a lé kúrò ní ìlú jọ, àti àwọn ẹni tí èmi ti pọ́n lójú.
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.
Èmi yóò dá àwọn arọ sí fún èyí tókù, èmi yóò sì sọ àwọn tí a lé kúrò ní ìlú di orílẹ̀-èdè alágbára. Olúwa yóò sì jẹ ọba lórí wọn ní òkè ńlá Sioni láti ìsinsin yìí lọ àti títí láéláé.
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.
Ní ti ìwọ, ilé ìṣọ́ agbo àgùntàn, odi alágbára ọmọbìnrin Sioni, a ó mú ìjọba ìṣáájú padà bọ̀ sípò fún un yín; ìjọba yóò sì wà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọmọbìnrin Jerusalẹmu.”
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: —
Kí ni ìwọ ha ń kígbe sókè sí nísinsin yìí? Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò ní ọba bí? Àwọn ìgbìmọ̀ rẹ ṣègbé bí? Nítorí ìrora ti dì ọ́ mú bí obìnrin tí ń rọbí.
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.
Máa yí síyìn-ín sọ́hùn-ún nínú ìrora, ìwọ obìnrin Sioni, bí ẹni tí ń rọbí, nítorí nísinsin yìí ìwọ yóò jáde lọ kúrò ní ìlú, ìwọ yóò sì máa gbé inú igbó. Ìwọ yóò lọ sí Babeli; níbẹ̀ ni ìwọ yóò sì ti rí ìgbàlà. Níbẹ̀ ni Olúwa yóò ti rà ọ́ padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ.
11 Meanwhile, therefore, shall be gathered against thee many nations, —who are saying—Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ Orílẹ̀-èdè kó ara wọn jọ sí ọ. Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a sọ ọ́ di àìmọ́, ẹ jẹ́ kí ojú wa kí ó wo Sioni!”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mọ èrò inú Olúwa; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òye ìmọ̀ rẹ̀ kò yé wọn, nítorí ó ti kó wọn jọ bí i ìtí sínú ìpakà.
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.
“Dìde, kí ó sì máa pa ọkà ìwọ ọmọbìnrin Sioni, nítorí èmi yóò sọ ìwo rẹ̀ di irin, èmi yóò sì sọ pátákò rẹ̀ di idẹ ìwọ yóò run ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè pátápátá.” Èmi yóò sì ya èrè wọn sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa àti ọrọ̀ wọn sí Olúwa gbogbo ayé.
