< 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].
E ndalo giko got mogerie hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye nobed gi teko e kind gode duto molwore, kendo ibiro tingʼe malo moyombo gode duto kendo ogendini duto nobi ma pongʼe.
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.
Ogendini mangʼeny nobi kawacho niya, “Biuru wadhi e got mar Jehova Nyasaye, e od Nyasach Jakobo. Enopuonjwa wechene mondo wawuothie e yorene.” Chik nowuog Sayun, kendo wach Jehova Nyasaye nowuog koa Jerusalem.
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.
Obiro ngʼado bura e kind ogendini kendo nokel kwe e kind pinje marateke man machiegni kod mago man mabor. Ginithedh ligengligi olokre kwe mag pur kendo tongegi ginithedhi olokre pende keyo. Onge piny mano kedi gi nyawadgi gi ligangla bende ok ginichak gipuonjre ne lweny kendo.
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.
Ngʼato ka ngʼato nobed e bwo yiende owuon mar mzabibu kendo e bwo yiende owuon mar ngʼowu, kendo onge ngʼama nochak omigi luoro nikech Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osewacho.
5 Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
Kata obedo ni ogendini mamoko duto nyalo wuotho e nying nyisechegi, wan to wabiro wuotho e nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa manyaka chiengʼ.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama, “E odiechiengno anachok rongʼonde, gi joma oter e twech kod joma asekelo negi lit.
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.
Abiro miyo rongʼode dongʼ kangima, to joma odhi e twech nobed oganda motegno, Jehova Nyasaye noritgi e got mar Sayun chakre odiechiengno nyaka chiengʼ.
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.
Yaye, in kama oger motingʼore mar rito rombe, in ohinga mar Sayun, ibiro duogni duongʼ mari machon; nyar Jerusalem nobed jatelo.”
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.
Angʼo momiyo koro iywak matek kamano, ionge gi ruoth koso? Dipo ka jangʼadni rieko osetho, marem chami mana ka dhako mamuoch kayo?
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.
Ywari gi rem, yaye Nyar Sayun, mana ka dhako mamuoch kayo, nikech koro ochuni ni nyaka iwe dala maduongʼ mondo idhi idagie pap nono. Ibiro dhi Babulon kendo kuno ema nokonyie. Jehova Nyasaye noresi kuno kogoli e lwet wasiki.
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]!’
To koro ogendini mangʼeny osechokore mondo giked kodi. Giwacho niya, “Wamiye obed mogak, wagouru siboi ni Sayun.”
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.
To gikia pach Jehova Nyasaye. Ok giwinj chenrone, En ema ochokogi ka cham midino e dier ot.
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.”
“Chungi idin cham, yaye nyar Sayun, nikech abiro sidhoni tunge mag chuma. Abiro rwakoni ombongʼ tielo mag nyinyo kendo ibiro toyo matindo tindo pinje mangʼeny.” Mwandu magiseyudo e yore mobam ubiro walone Jehova Nyasaye, mwandugi nochiwne Ruoth Nyasaye mar piny duto.
