< 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 it shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days, that the mountain of the house of Yahweh shall be, set up, as the head of the mountains, and, exalted, shall it be, above the hills, —and peoples, shall stream thereunto;
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.
Yea many nations, shall go, and say—come ye, and let us ascend unto the mountain of Yahweh, and unto the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us of his ways, and we may walk in his paths, —for, out of Zion, shall go forth a law, and, the word of Yahweh, out of 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 judge between many peoples, and be umpire to strong nations far and wide, —and they will beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks, Nation—against nation—shall not lift up sword, neither shall they learn—any more—to make war.
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.
And they shall dwell—every man—under his own vine and under his own fig-tree, with none to make them afraid, —for, the mouth of Yahweh of hosts, hath spoken.
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, walk, every man in the name of his god, —we, therefore, will walk in the name of Yahweh our God, to times age-abiding and beyond.
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, Declareth Yahweh, will I take up her teat is lame, and, her that hath been an outcast, will I carry, —even whomsoever I have afflicted;
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 will make of her that was lame a residue, and of her that was removed far away a strong nation, —and Yahweh, shall be king, over them, in Mount Zion, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
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.
Thou, therefore, O Migdal-eder, mound of the daughter of Zion, as far as thee, shall it come, —so shall arrive the chief dominion, 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?
Meanwhile, wherefore shouldst thou cry out aloud? King, is there none within thee? or hath, thy counselor, perished? for labour, hath seized thee, as a woman in child-birth: —
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 labour, and bear, O daughter of Zion, as a woman in child-birth, —for, meanwhile, shalt thou go forth out of the city, and dwell in the field, and shalt come as far as Babylon, there, shalt thou be delivered, there, will Yahweh, redeem thee, out of the grasp of thine enemies.
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.”
Meanwhile, therefore, shall be gathered against thee many nations, —who are saying—Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze upon 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, know not the purposes of Yahweh, neither have they discerned his counsel, —for he hath gathered them, as sheaves, to a threshing-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.
Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for, thy horn, will I make to be iron, and, thy hoofs, will I make to he bronze, so shalt thou beat in pieces many peoples, —and shalt devote to Yahweh their unrighteous gain, and their substance, to the Lord of all the earth.
