Mika 4
1 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.
But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it.
2 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.
Many nations will go and say, “Come! Let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem;
3 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.
and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more.
4 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.
But every man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid, for the mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken.
5 Dukɔwo katã ate ŋu azɔ le woƒe mawuwo ƒe ŋkɔ me gake míawo ya míazɔ le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ me tegbetegbe.
Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
6 Yehowa be, “Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, maƒo tekunɔwo, aboyomewo kple ame siwo ƒe dzi megbã la nu ƒu.
“In that day,” says the LORD, “I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;
7 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.
and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever.”
8 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.”
You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come. Yes, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 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?
Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counsellor perished, that pains have taken hold of you as of a woman in travail?
10 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.
Be in pain, and labour to give birth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Ke azɔ la, dukɔ geɖewo wɔ ɖeka wɔ babla ɖe mia ŋuti; Wogblɔ be: “Mina míado gui eye míaƒe ŋkuwo natsa le Zion.”
Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, “Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion.”
12 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.
But they don’t know the thoughts of the LORD, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “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.
Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze. You will beat in pieces many peoples. I will devote their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
