Miche 4
1 Men nan dènye jou yo, li va vin rive ke mòn a SENYÈ a va vin etabli kon chèf a mòn yo. Li va vin leve anwo kolin yo, e pèp nasyon yo va kouri kon dlo pou rive kote l.
But in the last days it will come about that the mountain of the Lord's house will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and peoples will be flowing to it.
2 Anpil nasyon va vin di: “Vini, annou monte sou mòn SENYÈ a, lakay Bondye Jacob la, pou L ka enstwi nou nan chemen Li yo e pou nou ka mache sou pa Li yo.” Paske depi nan Sion, lalwa va sòti e pawòl SENYÈ a va soti Jérusalem.
And a number of 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 give us knowledge of his ways and we will be guided by his word: for from Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
3 Konsa, Li va jije antre anpil pèp e pran desizyon pou anpil nasyon ki byen lwen. Yo va bat nepe yo pou fè yo tounen cha pou laboure latè yo, ak lans lagè yo pou fè yo tounen kwòk imondaj. Nasyon p ap leve nepe kont nasyon e p ap aprann fè lagè ankò.
And he will be judge between great peoples, and strong nations far away will be ruled by his decisions; their swords will be hammered into plough-blades and their spears into vine-knives: nations will no longer be lifting up their swords against one another, and knowledge of war will have gone for ever.
4 Men yo va fè chak moun chita anba chan rezen pa yo, ak anba pye fig pa yo. Pèsòn p ap fè yo pè: paske bouch SENYÈ dèzame yo fin pale sa.
But every man will be seated under his vine and under his fig-tree, and no one will be a cause of fear to them: for the mouth of the Lord of armies has said it.
5 Malgre tout pèp yo mache nan non dye pa yo, pou nou menm, nou va mache nan non SENYÈ Bondye nou an jis pou tout tan e pou tout tan.
For all the peoples will be walking, every one in the name of his god, and we will be walking in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
6 “Nan jou sa a”, deklare SENYÈ a, “Mwen va rasanble moun bwate yo, e Mwen va reyini moun rejte yo, ak sa ke M te aflije yo.
In that day, says the Lord, I will get together her who goes with uncertain steps, I will get together her who has been sent away, and her on whom I have sent evil;
7 Mwen va fè moun bwate yo vin yon retay, e moun rejte yo vin yon nasyon pwisan; Konsa, SENYÈ a va renye sou yo nan Mòn Sion depi koulye a rive jis pou tout tan.”
And I will make her whose steps were uncertain a small band, and her who was feeble a strong nation: and the Lord will be their King in Mount Zion from now and for ever.
8 A nou menm, wo tou bann mouton an, mòn fi Sion an, sou ou menm, li va retounen. Wi, menm ansyen pouvwa a, wayòm nan de fi Jérusalem nan.
And you, O tower of the flock, Ophel of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, even the earlier authority, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Alò, poukisa ou rele anmwey konsa? Èske pa gen wa pami nou? Èske konseye nou an fin peri? Kite gwo doulè a sezi nou kon yon fanm k ap pouse fè pitit?
Now why are you crying so loudly? is there no king in you? has destruction come on your wise helper? so that pains have taken you like the pains of a woman in childbirth:
10 Se pou ou vin an doulè, doulè pou pouse fè pitit fi a Sion an, kon yon fanm ki ansent; paske koulye a, ou va sòti nan vil la pou rete nan chan, e ou va ale menm nan Babylone. La, ou va delivre. La, SENYÈ a va rachte ou, soti nan men ènmi ou yo.
Be in pain, make sounds of grief, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth: for now you will go out of the town, living in the open country, and will come even to Babylon; there you will have salvation; there the Lord will make you free from the hands of your haters.
11 Epi koulye a, gen anpil nasyon ki rasanble kont ou k ap di: “Kite li fin souye nèt, e kite zye nou wè dezi nou sou Sion.”
And now a number of nations have come together against you, and they say, Let her be made unclean and let our eyes see the fate of Zion.
12 Men yo pa konnen refleksyon a SENYÈ a, ni yo pa konprann bi Li a; paske Li te ranmase moun sa yo, kon pakèt sereyal yo, pou pote sou glasi vannen an.
But they have no knowledge of the thoughts of the Lord, their minds are not able to see his purpose: for he has got them together like stems of grain to the crushing-floor.
13 Leve pou bat jèm nan, O fi Sion an! Paske M ap fè kòn ou an vin yon kòn fè, e zago ou kon yon zago an bwonz. Ou va bat an mòso anpil pèp, pou ou kapab konsakre a SENYÈ a tout richès enjis pa yo, ke nou ranmase ak tout byen pa yo, bay SENYÈ tout latè a.
Up! and let the grain be crushed, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your feet brass, and a number of peoples will be broken by you, and you will give up their increase to the Lord and their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
