Mikias 4
1 Ngem iti maudi nga al aldaw, mapasamakto a ti bantay ti balay ni Yahweh ket maipasdekto iti rabaw dagiti kabambantayan. Maitan-okto daytoy iti ngatoen dagiti turod, ket agdarisonto dagiti tattao ditoy.
In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it.
2 Adu a nasion ti mapan ket kunaenda, “Umaykayo, sumang-attayo idiay bantay ni Yahweh, iti balay ti Dios ni Jacob. Isurona kadatayo dagiti dalanna, ket magnatayo kadagiti dananna. Manipud Sion ket rummuar ti linteg, ken aggapu ti Jerusalem ti sao ni Yahweh.
And many nations will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 Mangukomto isuna kadagiti adu a tattao ken mangikeddeng ti maipanggep kadagiti adu a nasion iti adayo. Pitpitendanto dagiti kampilanda tapno agbalin nga arado, ken tapno agbalin met a kumpay dagiti gayangda. Saanton nga ilayat ti nasion ti kampilanna a maibusor iti nasion, wenno adalen no kasano ti makigubat.
Then He will judge between many peoples and arbitrate for strong nations far and wide. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor will they train anymore for war.
4 Ngem ketdi, agtugawto ti tunggal maysa a tao iti sirok ti kaubasanna, ken iti sirok ti kayona nga igos. Awanto ti mangpabuteng kadakuada, ta ti ngiwat ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin iti nagsao.
And each man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, with no one to frighten him. For the mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken.
5 Ta magna amin a tattao, tunggal maysa, iti nagan iti diosda. Ngem magnatayonto iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diostayo iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana.
Though each of the peoples may walk in the name of his god, yet we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
6 “Iti dayta nga aldaw”, kuna ni Yahweh, “Ummongekto dagiti pilay ket urnongekto dagiti napagtalaw, a pinagsagabak.
“On that day,” declares the LORD, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted.
7 Ket pagbalinekto dagiti pilay a tidda, ken dagiti naitalaw iti nabileg a nasion, ket Siak ni Yahweh ti agturayto kadakuada idiay bantay Sion, ita ken iti agnanayon.
And I will make the lame into a remnant, and the outcast into a strong nation. Then the LORD will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever.
8 Ket sika a pagwanawanan iti arban, turod ti babai nga anak iti Sion, umayto kenka— umayto ti sigud a turay, ti pagarian iti anak a babai ti Jerusalem.
And you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion— the former dominion will be restored to you; sovereignty will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem.”
9 Ita, apay nga agsangitka iti nakapigpigsa? Awan kadi ti ari, napukaw kadin ti mammagbagam, dagita nga ut-ot a mangtengtengngel kenka a kasla iti babai nga agpasikal?
Why do you now cry aloud? Is there no king among you? Has your counselor perished so that anguish grips you like a woman in labor?
10 Agtuok ket agpasngayka, anak a babai ti Sion, a kas iti babai nga agpasikal. Ta manipud ita ket rummuarka iti siudad, agnaedka iti langalang, ken mapanka idiay Babilonia. Maispalkanto sadiay. Isalakanakanto sadiay ni Yahweh manipud kadagiti ima ti kabusormo.
Writhe in agony, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will leave the city and camp in the open fields. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued; there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies!
11 Adu a nasion ti naguornong ita a maibusor kenka; ket kunada, 'Matulawan koma isuna; makitatayo koma ti pannakadadael ti Sion.'”
But now many nations have assembled against you, saying, “Let her be defiled, and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”
12 Kuna dagiti profeta, Saanda nga ammo dagiti pampanunoten ni Yahweh, ken saanda a maawatan dagiti panggepna, ta inurnongna ida a kasla rineppet iti pagir-irikan.
But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD or understand His plan, for He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 Kuna ni Yahweh, “Bumangonka ket agirikka, O anak a babai ti Sion, ta aramidekto a landok ti saram, ken aramidekto a gambang ti kukom. Adunto ti maparmekmo a tattao. Siak ni Yahweh ket subliekto dagiti binallikogda a kinabaknang, dagiti sanikuada, subliekto, Siak ti Apo ti sangalubongan.”
Rise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion, for I will give you horns of iron and hooves of bronze to break to pieces many peoples. Then you will devote their gain to the LORD, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
