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.
Le ŋkeke mamlɛawo me la, woaɖo to si dzi Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ le la te abe to si ƒo towo katã ta la ene. Woakɔe wòagbɔ togbɛwo katã ta eye amewo aƒo zi ɖe eŋu.
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.
Dukɔ geɖewo ava agblɔ be, “Miva. Mina míayi Yehowa ƒe to la dzi le Yakob ƒe Mawu la ƒe gbedoxɔ me. Afia eƒe mɔwo mí ale be míazɔ le eƒe mɔwo dzi.” Nufiame atso Zion ava eye Yehowa ƒe nya atso Yerusalem ava.
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.
Adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le amewo dome, eye wòadzra dukɔ sesẽ siwo le kpuiƒe kple didiƒe siaa la dome ɖo. Woatsɔ woƒe aʋawɔyiwo atu kodzoewoe, eye woatsɔ woƒe akplɔwo atu hɛ gobɛwoe. Dukɔ matsɔ yi ɖe dukɔ ŋu alo axɔ hehe na aʋawɔwɔ o.
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.
Ame sia ame anɔ anyi bɔkɔɔ ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe wainka kple gboti te; eye ame aɖeke magado ŋɔdzi na wo azɔ o elabena Yehowa, dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
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.
Dukɔwo katã ate ŋu azɔ le woƒe mawuwo ƒe ŋkɔ me gake míawo ya míazɔ le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ me tegbetegbe.
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.
Yehowa be, “Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, maƒo tekunɔwo, aboyomewo kple ame siwo ƒe dzi megbã la nu ƒu.
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.
Mawɔ tekunɔwo woazu ame mamlɛawo, eye ame siwo wonya la nazu dukɔ sẽŋu aɖe. Yehowa aɖu fia ɖe wo dzi le Zion to dzi tso gbe ma gbe heyi tegbee.
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.
Ke wò la, O nye alẽha ƒe gbetakpɔla, O Zion nyɔnuvi ƒe togbɛ, dziɖuɖu agava na wò abe tsã ene. Dziɖuɖu ƒe ŋusẽ agava na wò abe tsã ene eye fiaɖuɖu agava na Yerusalem vinyɔnu.”
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?
Azɔ nu ka ta nèle avi fam eye ɖe fia aɖeke mele asiwò oa? Afi ka wò fia si wòle be wòakplɔ wò la to? Ɖe wò aɖaŋuɖolawo ku hafi nèle ŋeŋem abe nyɔnu si le ku lém la enea?
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.
O Zion nyɔnuvi, ƒo dablibɛ, nàlé ku abe nyɔnu si le vi dzim la ene, elabena tso azɔ dzi yina la, àdzo le du sia me aɖanɔ gbegbe, woakplɔ wò ayi ɖe aboyo me le Babilonianyigba dzi, gake le afi sia la, maɖe wò. Le afi ma la, Yehowa aɖe wò tso futɔwo ƒe asi me.
11 And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: 'Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.'
Ke azɔ la, dukɔ geɖewo wɔ ɖeka wɔ babla ɖe mia ŋuti; Wogblɔ be: “Mina míado gui eye míaƒe ŋkuwo natsa le Zion.”
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.
Ke womenya Yehowa ƒe susuwo o, eye womese eƒe ɖoɖowo gɔme o. Eya ame si ƒo wo nu ƒu abe ale si woƒoa lu bablawo nu ƒu ɖe lugbɔƒee ene.
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!
“Tsi tsitre, O Zion nyɔnuvi, eye nàtugu lu elabena mana wò dzo nanye gayibɔ, wò afɔkli nanye akɔbli eye nàgbã dukɔwo gudugudu.” Kɔ woƒe afunyinu ŋu na Yehowa kple woƒe kesinɔnuwo ŋu na anyigba katã ƒe Aƒetɔ la.
