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].
Sucederá al fin de los días que el monte de la Casa de Yahvé tendrá su fundamento en la cima de los montes, y se elevará sobre las alturas. Afluirán a él los pueblos,
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.
y vendrán numerosas naciones, que dirán: “¡Venid, y subamos al monte de Yahvé, y a la casa del Dios de Jacob! Él nos enseñará sus caminos, y andaremos por sus senderos.” Pues de Sión saldrá la ley, y de Jerusalén la palabra de Yahvé.
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.
Reinará Él sobre muchos pueblos, y juzgará a fuertes naciones, hasta las más remotas; y harán de sus espadas rejas de arado, y podadoras de sus lanzas; no levantará la espada gente contra gente ni aprenderán más la guerra.
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.
Estará sentado cada cual debajo de su parra, y debajo de su higuera; y no habrá quien (los) espante; pues la boca de Yahvé de los ejércitos lo ha dicho.
5 Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
Porque todos los pueblos andan cada uno en el nombre de su dios; mas nosotros andaremos por siempre en el nombre de Yahvé, Dios nuestro.
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.
En aquel día, dice Yahvé, recogeré a la que cojea, y congregaré a la desechada y a la que he afligido,
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.
y haré de la que cojea un resto, y de la arrojada una nación fuerte; y reinará sobre ellos Yahvé en el monte Sión, desde ahora y para siempre.
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.
Y tú, torre del rebaño, collado de la hija de Sión, a ti llegará y volverá el antiguo poderío, la realeza de la hija de Jerusalén.
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.
¿Por qué, pues, gritas ahora tan fuerte? ¿No hay acaso rey en ti? ¿Ha perecido tu consejero? ¿Por qué te han atacado dolores como de mujer que está de parto?
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.
¡Retuércete y gime, hija de Sión, cual parturienta! Pues ahora saldrás de la ciudad y habitarás en el campo, y llegarás hasta Babilonia; pero allí serás libertada; allí te rescatará Yahvé del poder de tus enemigos.
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]!’
Ahora se juntan contra ti muchas naciones, que dicen: ¡Sea profanada, y vean nuestros ojos (la ruina de) Sión!
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.
Pero ellos ignoran los pensamientos de Yahvé, no entienden sus designios; pues Él los junta como gavillas de la era.
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.”
Levántate y trilla, hija de Sión! porque haré que tu cuerno sea de hierro y tus pezuñas de bronce; aplastarás a muchos pueblos, y consagrarás a Yahvé sus bienes, y sus riquezas al Señor de toda la tierra.
