< Micah 4 >

1 And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mount of the house of Jehovah Is established above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the hills, And flowed unto it have peoples.
末後的日子, 耶和華殿的山必堅立, 超乎諸山,高舉過於萬嶺; 萬民都要流歸這山。
2 And gone have many nations and said, Come and we go up to the mount of Jehovah, And unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we do walk in His paths, For from Zion doth go forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
必有許多國的民前往,說: 來吧,我們登耶和華的山, 奔雅各上帝的殿。 主必將他的道教訓我們; 我們也要行他的路。 因為訓誨必出於錫安; 耶和華的言語必出於耶路撒冷。
3 And He hath judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations afar off, They have beaten their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation lifteth not up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn war any more.
他必在多國的民中施行審判, 為遠方強盛的國斷定是非。 他們要將刀打成犂頭, 把槍打成鐮刀。 這國不舉刀攻擊那國; 他們也不再學習戰事。
4 And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of Jehovah of Hosts hath spoken.
人人都要坐在自己葡萄樹下 和無花果樹下,無人驚嚇。 這是萬軍之耶和華親口說的。
5 For all the peoples do walk, Each in the name of its god — and we, We do walk in the name of Jehovah our God, To the age and for ever.
萬民各奉己神的名而行; 我們卻永永遠遠奉耶和華-我們上帝的名而行。
6 In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah, I do gather the halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she whom I have afflicted.
耶和華說:到那日, 我必聚集瘸腿的, 招聚被趕出的和我所懲治的。
7 And I have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off for a mighty nation, And reigned hath Jehovah over them in mount Zion, From henceforth, and unto the age.
我必使瘸腿的為餘剩之民, 使趕到遠方的為強盛之民。 耶和華要在錫安山作王治理他們, 從今直到永遠。
8 And thou, O tower of Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion, unto thee it cometh, Yea, come in hath the former rule, The kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.
你這羊群的高臺、錫安城的山哪, 從前的權柄- 就是耶路撒冷民的國權- 必歸與你。
9 Now, why dost thou shout aloud? A king — is there none in thee? Hath thy counsellor perished, That taken hold of thee hath pain as a travailing woman?
現在你為何大聲哭號呢? 疼痛抓住你彷彿產難的婦人, 是因你中間沒有君王嗎? 你的謀士滅亡了嗎?
10 Be pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now, thou goest forth from the city, And thou hast dwelt in the field, And thou hast gone unto Babylon, There thou art delivered, There redeem thee doth Jehovah from the hand of thine enemies.
錫安的民哪, 你要疼痛劬勞,彷彿產難的婦人; 因為你必從城裏出來, 住在田野,到巴比倫去。 在那裏要蒙解救; 在那裏耶和華必救贖你脫離仇敵的手。
11 And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: 'Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.'
現在有許多國的民聚集攻擊你,說: 願錫安被玷污! 願我們親眼見她遭報!
12 They have not known the thoughts of Jehovah, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He hath gathered them as a sheaf [into] a threshing-floor.
他們卻不知道耶和華的意念, 也不明白他的籌劃。 他聚集他們,好像把禾捆聚到禾場一樣。
13 Arise, and thresh, O daughter of Zion, For thy horn I make iron, And thy hoofs I make brass, And thou hast beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to Jehovah their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
錫安的民哪,起來踹穀吧! 我必使你的角成為鐵, 使你的蹄成為銅。 你必打碎多國的民, 將他們的財獻與耶和華, 將他們的貨獻與普天下的主。
