Micah 4
1 Yahweh [says that] some day his temple will be on top of a mountain, and that mountain will be the most important [MET] one on the earth; it will be [as though it is] higher than all the hills, and huge groups of people from all over the world will come there [to worship].
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 [People from] many nations will say [to each other], “Let’s go to the mountain where Yahweh is, to the temple where we can worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. There God will teach us how he wants us to conduct our lives, and we will do what he wants us to do.” Zion [Hill] is the place where he will teach [people]; and [people will go] out from Jerusalem [to tell others] his messages.
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 Yahweh will settle disputes between many people, and he will [also] settle disputes between powerful nations that are far away. Then people will hammer their swords to cause them to become plow blades, and [hammer] their spears to cause them to become pruning knives. [Armies of] nations will no [longer] fight against [armies of other] nations, and they will no longer train [men how to fight] in wars.
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 Everyone will sit [peacefully] under his own grapevines, and under his own fig trees; no one will cause them to be afraid. [That is what will surely happen] because the Commander of the armies of angels has said it.
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 Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
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 Yahweh says, “There will soon be a time when I will gather the people whom I have punished, who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries), all those whom [I have caused to] suffer much.
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 My people who did not die while they were exiled will become a strong nation [again]. Then [I], Yahweh, will be their king, and I will rule from Jerusalem forever.
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 As for you people of Jerusalem [MET], you who [guard all of my people] like [MET] [a shepherd guards his sheep] from a tower, you [who live on] Zion [Hill], will have great power again. You people who live in Jerusalem will again rule like you did previously.
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 [So] why [RHQ] are you wailing now? Is it because you have no king? Have all your wise people died? You are groaning loudly like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.
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 [Well], you people of Jerusalem should writhe and groan like [SIM] a woman who is having birth pains, because now you must leave this city, and [while you are traveling], you will set up tents in open fields [at night]; you will go to [live in] Babylon. [But while you are] there, [I], Yahweh, will rescue you; I will free you from the power/control [MTY] of your 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 Now [the armies of] many nations have gathered to attack you. They are saying, ‘Jerusalem must be destroyed! We want to see this city [when it becomes ruins]!’
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 do not know what [I], Yahweh, think, and they do not understand what I plan: I will gather them [and punish them] like [SIM] [farmers] thresh grain on the ground.
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 So, you people of Jerusalem, rise up and punish [MET] [the nations who oppose you]. I will cause you [to be very strong], [as if] [MET] you had horns made of iron, [as if] [MET] you had hoofs made of bronze; and you will crush many nations. And [then you will take] from your enemies the valuable things that they have taken [from other countries], and you will dedicate those things to [me, the one who is] the Lord of all [the people on] 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。
