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].
Acontecerá en los últimos días que la Montaña de la Casa de Yavé será establecida como cabeza de las montañas y exaltada sobre las colinas. Los pueblos correrán a ella.
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.
Muchas naciones irán allí y dirán: Vengan, subamos a la Montaña de Yavé, a la Casa del ʼElohim de Jacob. Él nos enseñará sus caminos, y nosotros andaremos en sus sendas. Porque la Ley saldrá de Sion, y de Jerusalén, la Palabra de Yavé.
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.
Él juzgará entre muchos pueblos y decidirá para naciones poderosas y distantes. Convertirán sus espadas en arados y sus lanzas en podaderas. No levantará espada nación contra nación, ni se adiestrarán más para 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.
Cada uno se sentará debajo de su vid y de su higuera. No habrá quién los atemorice, porque habló la boca de Yavé de las huestes.
5 Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
Aunque todos los pueblos caminan, cada uno en el nombre de su ʼelohim, nosotros caminaremos en el nombre de Yavé, nuestro [ʼElohim] para siempre jamás.
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 reuniré a la que cojea, traeré a la descarriada y a aquellas que afligí, dice Yavé.
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.
Haré un remanente con las que cojean, y una nación poderosa con las descarriadas. Yavé reinará sobre ellas en la Montaña Sion desde entonces 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, oh torre del rebaño, fortaleza de la hija de Sion, a ti llegará, sí, a ti viene el dominio anterior, el reino de la ciudad 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.
Y ahora, ¿por qué gritas tanto? ¿No hay rey en ti? ¿Pereció tu consejero? ¿Te sorprendió el dolor como a mujer que da a luz?
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.
Sufre dolor y gime, oh hija de Sion, como mujer que da a luz, porque ahora saldrás de la ciudad y vivirás en el campo. Irás a Babilonia y allí serás librada. Allí Yavé te librará de la mano 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]!’
Pero ahora muchas naciones se reúnen contra ti y dicen: Sea profanada, y vean nuestros ojos a Sion.
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 no conocen los pensamientos de Yavé, ni comprenden sus designios, por los cuales los reúne como gavillas en 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, oh hija de Sion! Porque haré tu cuerno como el hierro y tus cascos como el bronce, para que destroces a muchos pueblos, y consagres sus despojos a Yavé y sus riquezas al ʼAdonay de toda la tierra.
