Micah 4

1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, [that] the mount of the house of the LORD shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow to it.

到末日，上主火聖殿山必要矗立在群山之上，超乎一切山岳，萬民都要向它湧來；

2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

將有許多民族前來說：「來，我們攀登上主的聖山，往雅各伯天主的殿裏去! 衪必指示我們衪的道路，教給我們循行衪的途徑，因為法律將出自熙雍，上主將出自熙雍，上主的話將出自耶路撒冷。」

3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and their spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

衪將統治萬民，遠處的強國宣佈定案；他們必要把自己的刀劍鑄成鋤頭，將自己的槍矛製成鐮刀；民族與民族不再持刀相向，人也不再學習武鬥；

4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make [them] afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken [it].

各人只坐在自家葡萄樹和無花果樹下，無人來驚擾，因為萬軍的上主親口說了。

5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

雖然萬民各奉自己神祗之名而生活，但是我們卻永遠奉上主我們天主之名而生活。

6 In that day, saith the LORD, I will assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;

到那一日，──上主的斷語──我要聚集跛行的人，集合被驅散和我所磨難的人；

7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD will reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.

我必使跛行的人成為遺民，使離散的人成為強大的民族。從今以後，我，上主要在熙雍山上作他們的君王，以至永遠。

8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, to thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come, to the daughter of Jerusalem.

你這羊群的守望台，熙雍女子的高崗，昔日的王權必再歸於你，耶路撒冷女子的王國必再臨。

9 Now why dost thou cry aloud? [is there] no king in thee? hath thy counselor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.

現在你為什麼高呼﹖難道你們中間沒有了君王，或者妳的參議已喪亡，令妳痛苦，像臨產的婦女﹖

10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth from the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go [even] to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thy enemies.

熙雍女子，妳應輾轉呻吟，像個臨產的婦女，因為現在妳應出城，住在田野，並且要到巴比倫去，在那裏你將獲救；在那裏，上主你的的天主，要從仇敵中把妳贖回。

11 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

現在許多異族集合起來攻擊妳說：「願她赤身裸體，願我們親眼見到熙雍滅亡! 」

12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he will gather them as sheaves into the floor.

但是他們不知道上主的心意，不明白衪的策略，原來是上主集合了他們，如把禾梱收在禾場上一樣。

13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain to JEHOVAH, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.

熙雍女子，起來打場吧! 因為我要使妳們的角變成鐵角，使妳的蹄變成銅蹄，使妳踏碎許多民族；妳將他們的戰利品奉獻給上主，將他們的財寶o石全地的主宰。
