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].
Di hari-hari mendatang bukit, tempat Rumah TUHAN, akan berdiri tegak dan menjulang tinggi melebihi gunung-gunung dan bukit-bukit. Segala bangsa berduyun-duyun ke sana
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.
mereka semua akan berkata, "Mari kita naik ke bukit TUHAN ke Rumah Allah Israel! Ia akan mengajarkan kepada kita apa yang harus kita lakukan. Kita akan mengikuti jalan-Nya sebab ajaran TUHAN datang dari Yerusalem; dari Sion Ia berbicara kepada umat-Nya."
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.
TUHAN akan memutuskan perkara antara bangsa-bangsa, antara negara-negara kuat, yang jauh maupun yang dekat. Mereka akan menempa pedang-pedang mereka menjadi bajak dan tombak-tombak mereka menjadi pisau pemangkas. Bangsa-bangsa tidak lagi saling menyerang, tidak juga bersiap-siap hendak berperang.
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.
Setiap orang akan hidup aman dan sejahtera di tengah kebun anggur dan kebun aranya; tiada yang akan menakut-nakuti dia, itulah janji TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa.
5 Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
Setiap bangsa di muka bumi menyembah dan taat kepada dewanya sendiri. Tetapi kita akan taat kepada TUHAN Allah kita dan menyembah Dia untuk selama-lamanya.
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.
TUHAN berkata, "Akan tiba saatnya Aku mengumpulkan orang-orang yang Kuhukum, yaitu mereka yang menderita di pembuangan.
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.
Mereka telah dilumpuhkan dan jauh dari kampung halaman. Tapi, dari orang-orang yang tersisa itu Aku akan memulai suatu keturunan yang baru. Mereka akan menjadi bangsa yang besar dan kuat. Aku akan memerintah mereka di Bukit Sion sampai selama-lamanya."
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.
Dan kau Yerusalem, tempat Allah menjaga umat-Nya seperti gembala menjaga kawanan dombanya, kau akan kembali menjadi ibukota kerajaanmu seperti semula.
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.
Mengapa kau menangis keras-keras? Mengapa kau menderita seperti wanita yang hendak melahirkan? Apakah karena engkau tak mempunyai raja, dan penasihat-penasihatmu sudah mati?
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.
Hai penduduk Yerusalem, menggeliatlah dan mengeranglah seperti wanita yang sedang melahirkan! Sebab, sekarang kamu harus meninggalkan kota dan tinggal di padang. Kamu harus pergi ke Babel, tapi di sana TUHAN akan melepaskan kamu dari musuh-musuhmu.
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]!’
Banyak bangsa telah berkumpul untuk menyerang engkau, hai Yerusalem! Mereka berkata, "Yerusalem harus dihancurkan! Kami akan melihat kota itu menjadi puing!"
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.
Tetapi bangsa-bangsa itu tidak tahu apa yang sedang direncanakan TUHAN. Mereka tidak menyadari bahwa mereka telah dikumpulkan-Nya untuk dihukum, sama seperti gandum dikumpulkan untuk ditebah.
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.”
TUHAN berkata, "Hai penduduk Yerusalem, pergilah dan injaklah musuh-musuhmu! Aku akan menjadikan kamu kuat seperti sapi yang bertanduk besi dan berkuku tembaga. Kamu akan menghancurkan banyak bangsa, dan kekayaan yang mereka peroleh dari hasil rampasan akan kamu persembahkan kepada-Ku, TUHAN semesta alam."
