< Micah 4 >

1 And in the laste of daies the hil of the hous of the Lord schal be maad redi in the cop of hillis, and hiy ouer smale hillis. And puplis schulen flete to him, and many puplis schulen haaste,
Kodwa kuzakuthi ekupheleni kwezinsuku, intaba yendlu yeNkosi iqiniswe phezu kwengqonga yezintaba, njalo iphakanyiswe ngaphezu kwamaqaqa; lezizwe zizagelezela kuyo.
2 and shulen seie, Come ye, stie we til to the hil of the Lord, and to the hous of God of Jacob; and he schal teche vs of hise weies, and we schulen go in hise pathis. For lawe schal go out fro Syon, and the word of the Lord fro Jerusalem;
Lezizwe ezinengi zizahamba, zithi: Wozani, senyukele entabeni yeNkosi, lendlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe, njalo uzasifundisa ngezindlela zakhe, sihambe emikhondweni yakhe. Ngoba umlayo uzaphuma eZiyoni, lelizwi leNkosi eJerusalema.
3 and he schal deme bitwixe many puplis, and schal chastise stronge folkis til in to fer. And thei schulen bete togidere her swerdis in to scharis, and her speris in to picoisis; a folc schal not take swerd ayens folc, and thei schulen no more lerne for to fiyte.
Njalo izakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe ezinengi, ikhuze izizwe ezilamandla ezikhatshana; njalo zizakhanda inkemba zazo zibe yizikali zamakhuba, lemikhonto yazo ibe zingqamu zokuthena izihlahla; isizwe kasiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba, kazisayikufunda impi futhi.
4 And a man schal sitte vndur his vyneyerd, and vndur his fige tree; and ther schal not be that schal make aferd, for the mouth of the Lord of oostis spak.
Kodwa bazahlala ngulowo lalowo ngaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe sevini, langaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe somkhiwa; njalo kakho ozabesabisa; ngoba umlomo weNkosi yamabandla ukhulumile.
5 For alle puplis schulen go, ech man in the name of his Lord God; but we schulen walke in the name of oure Lord God in to the world, and ouer.
Ngoba zonke izizwe zizahamba yileso laleso ebizweni likankulunkulu waso, kodwa thina sizahamba ebizweni leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu kuze kube phakade laphakade.
6 In that dai, seith the Lord, Y schal gadere the haltynge, and Y schal gadere hir that Y castide awei, and whom Y turmentide Y schal coumforte.
Ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, ngizabuthanisa lowo oqhulayo, ngiqoqe lowo oxotshiweyo, lalowo engimhluphileyo.
7 And Y schal putte the haltynge in to relifs, ether remenauntis, and hir that trauelide, in a strong folc. And the Lord schal regne on hem in the hil of Sion, fro this now and til in to with outen ende.
Ngizakwenza oqhulayo abe yinsali, loxotshelwe khatshana abe yisizwe esilamandla; njalo iNkosi izabusa phezu kwabo entabeni yeZiyoni kusukela khathesi kuze kube nininini.
8 And thou, `derk tour of the floc of the douyter of Sion, `til to thee he schal come, and the first power schal come, the rewme of the douytir of Jerusalem.
Ngakho wena, mphotshongo weEderi, inqaba yendodakazi yeZiyoni, kuzafika kuwe, yebo, kuzafika ukubusa kwakuqala, umbuso kundodakazi yeJerusalema.
9 Now whi art thou drawun togidere with mournyng? whether a kyng is not to thee, ether thi counselour perischide? for sorowe hath take thee, as a womman trauelinge of child.
Khathesi ukhalelani kakhulu? Inkosi kayikho kuwe yini? Umeluleki wakho usebhubhile yini? Ngoba umhelo ukubambile njengowesifazana obelethayo.
10 Thou douyter of Sion, make sorewe, and haaste, as a womman trauelynge of child; for now thou schalt go out of the citee, and schalt dwelle in cuntree, and schalt come `til to Babiloyne; there thou schalt be delyuered, there the Lord schal ayen bie thee, fro the hond of thin enemyes.
Bana lobuhlungu, uhelelwe ukuze ubelethe, wena ndodakazi yeZiyoni, njengowesifazana obelethayo; ngoba khathesi uzaphuma emzini, uhlale egangeni, ubusufika eBhabhiloni; khona uzakhululwa; khona iNkosi izakuhlenga esandleni sezitha zakho.
11 And now many folkis ben gaderid on thee, whiche seien, Be it stonyd, and oure iye biholde in to Sion.
Khathesi-ke izizwe ezinengi zibuthene zimelene lawe, ezithi: Kangcoliswe, lelihlo lethu kalikhangele eZiyoni.
12 Forsothe thei knewen not the thouytis of the Lord, and vndurstoden not the councel of hym, for he gaderide hem as the hei of feeld.
Kodwa bona kabayazi imicabango yeNkosi, kabaliqedisisi icebo layo; ngoba uzababuthelela njengezithungo ebaleni lokubhulela.
13 Rise thou, douyter of Sion, and threische, for Y schal putte thin horn of irun, and Y schal putte thi nailis brasun; and thou schalt make lesse, ether waste, many puplis, and schalt sle to the Lord the raueyns of hem, and the strengthe of hem to the Lord of al erthe.
Sukuma ubhule, wena ndodakazi yeZiyoni; ngoba ngizakwenza uphondo lwakho lube yinsimbi, ngenze amasondo akho abe lithusi. Njalo uzachoboza izizwe ezinengi; njalo ngizakwehlukanisela iNkosi inzuzo yazo, lenotho yazo kuyo iNkosi yomhlaba wonke.
