Micah 4
1 But in the last days it will come about that the mountain of Yahweh's house will be established over the other mountains. It will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.
Og det skal ske i de sidste Dage, at HERRENS Huses Bjerg, grundfæstet på Bjergenes Top, skal løfte sig op over Højene. Did skal Folkeslag strømme.
2 Many nations will go and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For from Zion the law will go out, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
og talrige Folk komme vandrende: "Kom, lad os drage til HERRENs Bjerg, til Jakobs Guds Hus; os skal han lære sine Veje, så vi kan gå på hans Stier; thi fra Zion udgår Åbenbaring, fra Jerusalem HERRENs Ord."
3 He will judge among many peoples and will decide concerning numerous nations far away. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any longer.
Da dømmer han mange Folkeslag imellem, skifter Ret mellem talrige, fjerne Folk; deres Sværd skal de smede til Plovjern, deres Spyd til Vingårdsknive; Folk skal ej løfte Sværd mod Folk, ej øve sig i Våbenfærd mer.
4 Instead, they will sit every person under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid, for the mouth of Yahweh of hosts has spoken.
Da sidder hver under sin Vinstok og sit Figenfræ, og ingen. skræmmer dem, så sandt Hærskarers HERREs Mund har talet.
5 For all the peoples walk, each one, in the name of their god. But we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God forever and ever.
Thi alle Folkeslag vandrer hvert i sin Guds Navn, men vi vil vandre i HERREN vor Guds Navn for evigt og altid.
6 “On that day”—this is Yahweh's declaration— “I will assemble the lame and gather the outcast, those whom I have afflicted.
På hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, samler jeg det, der halter, sanker det spredte sammen og det, jeg har hjemsøgt med ondt.
7 I will turn the lame into a remnant, and the ones driven away into a strong nation, and I, Yahweh, will reign over them on Mount Zion, now and forever.
Det haltende gør jeg til en Rest, det svage til et kraftigt Folk; og HERREN er Konge over dem på Zions Bjerg fra nu og til evig Tid.
8 As for you, watchtower for the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion— to you it will come, your former dominion will be restored, the kingdom that belongs to the daughter of Jerusalem.
Men du, o Hyrdetårn, Zions Datters Høj, til dig skal det komme, det forrige Herredømme tilfalde dig, Jerusalems Datters Rige.
9 Now, why do you shout so loudly? Is there no king among you? Has your counselor died? Is this why pain grips you like that of a woman in labor?
Hvi skriger du dog så højt? Er Kongen ikke i dig? Er da din Rådgiver borte, nu du grebes af Fødselsveer?
10 Be in pain and labor to give birth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will you go out of the city, live in the field, and go to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There Yahweh will rescue you from the hand of your enemies.
Vrid dig og vånd dig som i Barnsnød, Zions Datter! Thi nu skal du ud af Byen og bo på Marken, og du skal komme til Babel; der skal du frelses, der vil HERREN genløse dig af dine Fjenders Hånd.
11 Now many nations are assembled against you; they say, 'Let her be defiled; let our eyes gloat over Zion.'
Nu er de samlet imod dig, de mange Folk, som siger: "Vanæres skal det; vort Øje skal se med Skadefryd på Zion."
12 They do not know Yahweh's thoughts, neither do they understand his plans, for he has gathered them like bundles of grain prepared for the threshing floor.
Men de, de kender ikke det mindste til HERRENs Tanker, de fatter ikke hans Råd, at han samled dem som Neg på Lo.
13 Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn to be iron, and I will make your hooves to be bronze. You will crush many peoples and you will devote their unjust wealth to Yahweh, their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.”
Op og tærsk, du Zions Datter! Thi jeg giver dig Horn af Jern, jeg giver dig Klove af Kobber. Du skal knuse de mange Folk, lægge Band på Byttet for HERREN, på Godset for al Jordens Herre.
