Mika 4
1 Matukũ-inĩ ma kũrigĩrĩria, kĩrĩma kĩrĩa kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova nĩgĩkahaandwo kĩrĩ kĩo kĩnene gatagatĩ ka irĩma iria ingĩ; nĩgĩkambarario igũrũ rĩa tũrĩma tũrĩa tũngĩ, nao andũ a ndũrĩrĩ nĩkuo magaathiiaga.
And this shall be: In the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared at the top of the mountains and high above the hills. And the people will flow to it.
2 Ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ igaathiĩ kuo, ikiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai twambate tũthiĩ kĩrĩma‑inĩ kĩa Jehova, tũthiĩ nyũmba ya Ngai wa Jakubu. Nĩagatũruta ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yake, nĩgeetha tũgeragĩre njĩra ciake.” Nĩgũkorwo Zayuni nĩgũkoima ũtaarani, nakuo Jerusalemu kuume ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova.
And many nations will hurry, and will say: “Come, let us ascend to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
3 Nĩagatuithania ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ ciira, nacio ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ hinya cia kuuma kũraya aciiguithanie. Magaatura hiũ ciao cia njora ituĩke hiũ cia mĩraũ, namo matimũ mao maturwo hiũ cia gũceeha mĩtĩ. Gũtirĩ rũrĩrĩ rũgaacooka kũrũa na rũrĩa rũngĩ na hiũ cia njora, kana rũcooke kwĩruta ũhoro wa mbaara rĩngĩ.
And he will judge among the many peoples, and he will correct strong nations, even from afar. And they will cut up their swords into plows, and their spears into hoes. Nation will not take up the sword against nation, and they will no longer learn to wage war.
4 O mũndũ agaikaraga gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũthabibũ wake na aikarage gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũkũyũ wake, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaamamakia, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe oigĩte.
And a man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one to fear, for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
5 Andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe no marũmĩrĩre kĩrĩra kĩa ngai ciao; no ithuĩ tũrĩrũmagĩrĩra kĩrĩra kĩa Jehova Ngai witũ nginya tene na tene.
For all people will walk, each one in the name of his god. But we will walk in the name of the Lord our God, forever and ever.
6 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngacookanĩrĩria ithua; na nĩngacookanĩrĩria arĩa matahĩtwo, o na arĩa nyariirithĩtie.
In that day, says the Lord, I will gather together the lame. And I will recover her whom I had rejected, and her whom I had afflicted.
7 Ithua nĩngacitua matigari, na arĩa maingatĩtwo ndĩmatue rũrĩrĩ rũrĩ hinya. Jehova nĩwe ũkamaathaga arĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni, kuuma mũthenya ũcio nginya tene.
And I will place the lame within the remnant, and she who had been in distress, within a healthy people. And the Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion, from the present time and even unto eternity.
8 Ha ũhoro waku, wee mũthiringo ũyũ mũraihu na igũrũ wa kũrangĩra rũũru rwa mbũri, o wee kĩĩhitho kĩrũmu kĩa Mwarĩ wa Zayuni-rĩ, wathani ũrĩa warĩ naguo mbere nĩũgagũcookerera; naguo ũthamaki wa Mwarĩ wa Jerusalemu ũmũcookerere.”
And you, cloudy tower of the flock of the daughter of Zion, even to you it will come. And the first power will arrive, the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩkĩ kĩratũma ũrĩre wanĩrĩire, kaĩ ũtarĩ na mũthamaki? Kaĩ ũkuĩrĩirwo nĩ mũkũhei kĩrĩra, tondũ wanyiitwo nĩ ruo rũhaana ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo?
Now, why have you come together in grief? Is there not a king in you, or has your counselor gone away? For sorrow has overtaken you, like the pain of giving birth.
10 Wĩnyogonde nĩ ruo, wee Mwarĩ wa Zayuni, o ta mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo, nĩgũkorwo rĩu no nginya uume itũũra inene ũgaikare nja werũ-inĩ. Nĩũgathiĩ Babuloni; kũu nĩkuo ũkaahonokerio. Kũu nĩkuo Jehova agaagũkũũra kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ ciaku.
Be grieved and overwhelmed, daughter of Zion, like a woman giving birth. For now you must depart from the city and dwell in the countryside, and you will approach even to Babylon. There you will be delivered. There the Lord will redeem you from the hand of your adversaries.
11 No rĩrĩ, ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ nĩicookanĩrĩire, igũũkĩrĩre. Iroiga atĩrĩ, “Rekei anyiitwo nĩ thaahu, rekei maitho maitũ mathekerere Zayuni!”
And now many peoples have been gathered together against you, and they say, “Let her be stoned and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”
12 No cio itingĩmenya meciiria ma Jehova; o na itiũĩ mũbango wake, o we ũrĩa ũcicookanagĩrĩria ta itĩĩa cia ngano kĩhũrĩro-inĩ.
But they have not known the thoughts of the Lord, and they have not understood his counsel. For he has gathered them together like hay on a threshing floor.
13 “Arahũka, wee Mwarĩ wa Zayuni, ũhũũre ngano ĩyo, nĩgũkorwo nĩngakũhe hĩa cia kĩgera; nĩngakũhe mahũngũ ma gĩcango nawe nĩũkahehenja ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ.” Uumithio ũcio meyoeire na njĩra ĩtarĩ ya kĩhooto nĩũkawamũrĩra Jehova, ũtonga wao ũwamũrĩre Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.
Rise and thresh, daughter of Zion. For I will set your horn like iron, and I will set your hoofs like brass. And you will shatter many peoples, and you will immolate their spoils for the Lord, and their strength for the Lord of the whole earth.
