Miche 4
1 Yon tan gen pou rive! Lè sa a, mòn kote tanp lan ye a va pi wo pase tout lòt mòn yo. L'ap kanpe byen wo nan mitan mòn yo. Moun va soti an kantite toupatou vin sou li.
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 Anpil moun lòt nasyon va vini, y'a di: Ann ale sou mòn Seyè a! Ann ale nan tanp Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! L'a moutre nou jan li vle nou viv la. Konsa, n'a mache nan chemen l'a mete devan nou an. Paske, Seyè a rete sou mòn Siyon an, l'ap bay lòd li. Seyè a rete lavil Jerizalèm, l'ap pale ak pèp li a.
Many nations will go and say, "Come, 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 will go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem;
3 L'ap regle kont nasyon yo gen yonn ak lòt, l'ap sèvi jij pou gwo peyi ki byen lwen. Y'ap pran mato, y'ap fè zam yo tounen zouti pou travay tè. Y'ap fè nepe yo tounen sèpèt. Nasyon yo p'ap fè lagè yonn ak lòt ankò. Yo p'ap janm aprann fè lagè ankò.
and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more.
4 Tout moun va viv ak kè poze anba tonèl rezen yo, anba pye fig frans yo. Pesonn p'ap chache yo kont. Sa se pawòl ki soti nan bouch Seyè a!
But they will sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and no one will make them afraid: For the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.
5 Chak nasyon ap viv dapre lòd bondye pa yo ba yo. Men nou menm, n'ap viv dapre lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou tout tan tout tan.
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 Seyè a di: Yon tan ap vini. Lè sa a, m'a aji avèk pèp mwen an tankou yon gadò. M' aval chache moun ki t'ap bwete yo. M'a ranmase moun yo te chase byen lwen yo, moun mwen te pini yo.
"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 Avèk sa ki t'ap bwete yo, m'a mete peyi a kanpe ankò. M'a fè moun yo te depòte yo tounen yon gwo nasyon. Mwen menm, Seyè a, m'a gouvènen yo sou tèt mòn Siyon an, depi jou sa a jouk sa kaba.
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 Ou menm, lavil Jerizalèm kote Bondye rete pou l' veye bann mouton l' yo, ou menm, ti mòn Ofèl kote moun Siyon yo rete a, ou gen pou tounen kapital peyi a ankò kote wa moun Jerizalèm yo ye a, jan sa te ye nan tan lontan an.
And you, tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Koulye a, poukisa w'ap rele fò konsa? Se paske ou pèdi wa ou la? Poukisa w'ap plenn konsa tankou yon fanm ki gen tranche? Se paske moun ki te konn ba ou konsèy la mouri?
Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pain has gripped you like a woman in labor?
10 Tòde kò nou, nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm! Plenn tankou fanm ki sou choukèt! Paske, koulye a nou pral soti kite lavil la, nou pral rete nan bwa. N'a rive jouk lavil Babilòn. Men, antan nou la, y'a vin delivre nou. Seyè a ap vin wete nou nan men lènmi nou yo.
Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go forth 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 Anpil nasyon ap reyini pou atake nou. Y'ap di konsa: Se pou yo avili lavil Jerizalèm. Se pou nou wè lavil Siyon an kraze nèt.
Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion."
12 Men, moun sa yo pa konnen lide Bondye gen nan tèt li. Yo pa konprann plan travay li. Li te sanble yo pou l' ka pini yo tankou lè yo sanble pwa sou glasi anvan yo bat yo.
But they do not 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 Seyè a di: Nou menm moun lavil Siyon, leve non! Foule lènmi nou yo anba pye nou! M'ap ban nou fòs, n'ap tankou towo bèf ki gen kòn ak zago fè. N'ap kraze anpil nasyon an miyèt moso. N'a pran tou sa yo genyen ansanm ak tout richès yo, n'a ofri yo ban mwen, mwen menm Seyè a, ki mèt tout latè.
Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze; and you will beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
