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.
Et erit: In novissimo dierum erit mons domus Domini præparatus in vertice montium, et sublimis super colles: et fluent ad eum populi.
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.
Et properabunt gentes multæ, et dicent: Venite, ascendamus ad montem Domini, et ad domum Dei Iacob: et docebit nos de viis suis, et ibimus in semitis eius: quia de Sion egredietur lex, et verbum Domini de Ierusalem.
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.
Et iudicabit inter populos multos, et corripiet gentes fortes usque in longinquum: et concident gladios suos in vomeres, et hastas suas in ligones: non sumet gens adversus gentem gladium: et non discent ultra belligerare.
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.
Et sedebit vir subtus vitem suam, et subtus ficum suam, et non erit qui deterreat: quia os Domini exercituum locutum est.
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.
Quia omnes populi ambulabunt unusquisque in nomine Dei sui: nos autem ambulabimus in nomine Domini Dei nostri in æternum et ultra.
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.
In die illa, dicit Dominus, congregabo claudicantem: et eam, quam eieceram, colligam: et quam afflixeram:
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.
Et ponam claudicantem in reliquias: et eam, quæ laboraverat, in gentem robustam: et regnabit Dominus super eos in monte Sion, ex hoc nunc et usque in æternum.
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.
Et tu turris gregis nebulosa filiæ Sion usque ad te veniet: et veniet potestas prima, regnum filiæ Ierusalem.
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?
Nunc quare mœrore contraheris? numquid rex non est tibi, aut consiliarius tuus periit, quia comprehendit te dolor sicut parturientem?
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.
Dole, et satage filia Sion quasi parturiens: quia nunc egredieris de civitate, et habitabis in regione, et venies usque ad Babylonem, ibi liberaberis: ibi redimet te Dominus de manu inimicorum tuorum.
11 And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: 'Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.'
Et nunc congregatæ sunt super te gentes multæ, quæ dicunt: Lapidetur: et aspiciat in Sion oculus noster.
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.
Ipsi autem non cognoverunt cogitationes Domini, et non intellexerunt consilium eius: quia congregavit eos quasi fœnum areæ.
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!
Surge, et tritura filia Sion: quia cornu tuum ponam ferreum, et ungulas tuas ponam æreas: et comminues populos multos, et interficies Domino rapinas eorum, et fortitudinem eorum Domino universæ terræ.
