< 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.
But it shall come to pass in the end of days [that] the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and the peoples shall flow unto 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 shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, 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 out of Zion shall go forth the law, and Jehovah's word 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 shall judge among many peoples, and reprove strong nations, even afar off; and they shall forge their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-knives: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
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 they shall sit every one under his vine, and under his fig-tree; and there shall be none to make [them] afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken [it].
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 the peoples will walk every one in the name of his god; but we will walk in the name of Jehovah, our God for ever and ever.
6 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngacookanĩrĩria ithua; na nĩngacookanĩrĩria arĩa matahĩtwo, o na arĩa nyariirithĩtie.
In that day, saith Jehovah, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have 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 make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation; and Jehovah shall reign over them in mount Zion, from henceforth even for ever.
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 thou, O tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, yea, the first dominion shall come, — 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 dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished, that pangs have seized thee as a woman in travail?
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 in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon: there shalt thou be delivered; there Jehovah will redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
11 No rĩrĩ, ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ nĩicookanĩrĩire, igũũkĩrĩre. Iroiga atĩrĩ, “Rekei anyiitwo nĩ thaahu, rekei maitho maitũ mathekerere Zayuni!”
And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be profaned, and let our eye look 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 know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his counsel; for he hath gathered them together as the sheaves into the 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.
Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion, for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples; and I will devote their gain to Jehovah, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
