< 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,
Lakini katika siku za mwisho itakuja kuhusu kwamba mlima wa nyumba ya Yahwe utawekwa imare juu ya milima mingine. Utainuliwa juu ya milima, na watu watautakabisha.
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;
Mataifa mengi yataenda na kusema, “Njoni, twendeni juu kwenye mlima wa Yahwe, kwenye nyumba ya Mungu wa Yakobo. Atatufundisha njia zake, na tutembea katika njia zake.” Kwa kuwa kutoka Sayuni sheria itatoka, na neno la Yahwe kutoka Yerusalemu.
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.
Atahukumu miongoni mwa watu na kuamua kuhusiana na mataifa mengi ya mbali. Watapoga mapanga yao kuwa plau na mikuki yao kuwa miuundu ya kupogolea. Taifa halitainua upanga dhidi ya taifa, wala kutawala kwa vita tena.
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.
Badala yake, wataketi kila mtu chini ya mzabibu wake na chini ya mtini wake. Hakuna mtu atakayewafanya waogope, kwa kuwa mdomo wa Yahwe wa majeshi umesema.
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.
Kwa kuwa watu wote wataenenda, kila mmoja, katika jina la mungu wake. Lakini sisi tutaenenda katika jina la Yahwe Mungu wetu milele na milele.
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.
“Katika siku hiyo,” aseme Yahwe, “Nitamkusanya achechemeaye na kumkusanya aliyefukuzwa, wale ambao nimewatesa.
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.
Nitamrudisha aliyechechemea kwenye mabaki, na yeye aliyetupwa kwenye taifa imara, na mimi, Yahwe, nitatawala juu yao katika Milima Sayuni, sasa na milele.
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.
Kama kwako, mnara wa saa kwa ajili ya kundi, mlima wa binti wa Sayuni-utakuja kwenu, utawala wenu wa zamani utarudishwa, ufalme ambao unaomilikiwa na binti wa Yerusalemu.
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.
Sasa, kwa nini unapiga kelele kwa sauti kuu? Je hakuna mfalme miongoni mwenu? Je mshauri wako amekufa? Kwa nini uchungu umekushika kama yule mwanamke akiwa anazaa?
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.
Kuwa katika uchungu wa kuzaa ili uzae, binti Sayuni, kama mwanamke mwenye uchungu. Kwa sasa utatoka nje ya mji, kuishi kwenye shamba, na kwenda Babeli. Huko utaokolewa. Huko Yahwe atakuokoa kutoka kwenye mikono ya maadui.
11 And now many folkis ben gaderid on thee, whiche seien, Be it stonyd, and oure iye biholde in to Sion.
Sasa mataifa mengi yamekusanyika juu yako; wakisema; 'Atiwe unajisi; macho yenu yaangalie Sayuni.”'
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.
Nabii asema, “Hawayajui mawazo ya Yahwe, wala hawaelewi mpango wake, kwa kuwa wamewakusanaya kama miganda kupura sakafuni.”
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.
Yahwe asema, “siamama na upure, binti Sayuni, kwa kuwa nitaifanya pembe yako kuwa chuma, na nitazifanya kwato zako kuwa shaba. Utaponda watu wengi. Nitaweka wakfu udhalimu wao kwangu mwenyewe, Yahwe, miliki zao kwangu, Bwana wa dunia nzima.”
