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 in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and 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 ye, and let us 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 out of Zion shall go forth the law, 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 shall judge between many peoples, and shall reprove strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: 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.

But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD 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, and we will walk in the name of the LORD 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 the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven away, 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 the LORD 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, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come; yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of 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 taken hold of thee as of 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 shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Babylon; there shalt thou be rescued; there shall the LORD 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 defiled, and let our eye see [its desire] 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 the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshingfloor.

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, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and thou shalt devote their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
