Maika 4
1 Nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ, ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ga-abụ nke eguzobere dịka ugwu dị elu karịa ugwu niile, a ga-ebuli ya elu karịa ugwu nta niile, ndị dị iche iche ga-eruba nʼime ya dịka iyi.
But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of Yahweh’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 Ọtụtụ mba ga-abịa ma sịkwa, “Bịanụ, ka anyị rigoruo ugwu Onyenwe anyị, ka anyị gaa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke nke Jekọb. Ọ ga-akụziri anyị ụzọ ya niile, ka anyị nwe ike jee ije nʼokporoụzọ ya niile.” Iwu ga-esi na Zayọn pụta, okwu Onyenwe anyị ga-esitekwa na Jerusalem pụta.
Many nations will go and say, “Come! Let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh, 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 the law will go out of Zion, and Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem;
3 Ọ ga-ekpe ikpe dị nʼetiti ndị dị iche iche, doziekwa esemokwu dị nʼetiti mba na mba ibe ya ruo ebe dị anya. Ha ga-akpụgharịkwa mma agha ha niile, mee ka ha bụrụ mma oge, kpụgharịkwa ùbe ha ka ha ghọọ mma ịkwacha osisi. Mba ọbụla agakwaghị ebuli mma agha megide mba ọzọ, maọbụ zụọ onwe ha nʼịlụ agha ọzọ.
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 Onye ọbụla ga-anọdụrụ onwe ya nʼokpuru vaịnị na nʼokpuru osisi fiig ya, nʼihi na o nweghị onye ga-eme ka ha tụọ egwu ọzọ. Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ekwuola ya.
But every man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid, for the mouth of Yahweh of Armies has spoken.
5 Mba dị iche iche ga-agagharị nke ọbụla nʼaha chi ya, ma anyị onwe anyị ga na-aga nʼaha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke anyị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi.
Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God forever and ever.
6 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “aga m achịkọta ndị ngwụrọ, chịkọtaa ndị ahụ niile e mere ka ha biri na mba ọzọ, na ndị ahụ niile m mere ka ha ruo ụjụ.
“In that day,” says Yahweh, “I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;
7 Aga m eme ka ndị ngwụrọ ahụ ghọọ ndị fọdụrụ ndụ, meekwaa ka ndị ahụ a chụpụrụ achụpụ ghọọ mba dị ike. Onyenwe anyị ga-esi nʼugwu Zayọn chịa ha site nʼoge ahụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever.”
8 Ma gị, ebe nche e wuliri elu maka igwe atụrụ, ugwu nke nwaada Zayọn, ọchịchị a na-achị na mbụ ga-adịghachikwara gị; bụ ọchịchị nke dịrị nwaada Jerusalem.”
You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come. Yes, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Gịnị mere i ji na-akwasị akwa ike? Ọ bụ na i nweghị eze? Onye ndụmọdụ gị ọ nwụọla nke mere na ihe ụfụ jidere gị dịka nwanyị ime na-eme?
Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pains have taken hold of you as of a woman in travail?
10 Susie ude ike, gị nwaada Zayọn, dịka ịsụ ude nke nwanyị ime na-eme, nʼihi na unu aghaghị ịhapụ obodo a jee biri nʼọhịa. Unu aghaghị ịga Babilọn, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka a ga-esi napụta unu. Ebe ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị ga-agbapụta unu site nʼaka ndị iro unu.
Be in pain, and labor to give birth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There Yahweh will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Ugbu a, ọtụtụ mba ezukọọla imegide gị; na-asị, “Ka e merụọ ya ka anya anyị ṅụọ Zayọn.”
Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, “Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion.”
12 Ma ha amaghị ihe bụ uche Onyenwe anyị, ha aghọtakwaghị nzube ya, na ọ chịkọtala ha dịka ukwu ọka, na-ebuga ha nʼebe ịzọcha ọka.
But they don’t know the thoughts of Yahweh, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Bilie, zọchaa, gị nwaada Zayọn, nʼihi na aga m enye gị mpi igwe. Aga m enyekwa gị ụkwụ ọla bronz, ị ga-etijisikwa ọtụtụ mba. Uru ha niile, nke ha nwetara nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi, ka ị ga-enye Onyenwe anyị. Akụnụba ha ka ị ga-enyekwa Chineke nwe ụwa niile.”
Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze. You will beat in pieces many peoples. I will devote their gain to Yahweh, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
