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.
But it shall come to pass in the last days That the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established at the head of the mountains, And exalted above the hills; And the nations shall flow 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 shall go, saying, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us his ways, And that we may walk in his paths!” For from Zion shall go forth a law, And the word of Jehovah 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.
He shall be a judge of many nations, And an umpire of many kingdoms afar off. They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, And their spears into pruning-hooks; Nation shall not lift up the sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war any more.
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.
But they shall sit every one under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And none shall make them afraid; The mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it.
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 all the nations walk every one in the name of its God, Yet will we walk in the name of Jehovah our God for ever and ever.
6 “Iti dayta nga aldaw”, kuna ni Yahweh, “Ummongekto dagiti pilay ket urnongekto dagiti napagtalaw, a pinagsagabak.
In that day, saith Jehovah, I will gather the halting, And the far scattered I will assemble, And 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.
I will make the halting a remnant, And the far scattered a strong nation; And Jehovah shall reign over them in mount Zion, Henceforth, even 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 thou, O tower of the flock, O hill of the daughter of Zion, to thee it shall come, To thee shall come the former dominion, Even the kingdom of 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?
And now why dost thou cry aloud? Is there no king within thee? Have thy counsellors perished, That pangs have taken hold of thee, as of a woman in travail?
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.
Yea, writhe, and be in anguish, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail! For now shalt thou go forth from the city, and dwell in the field; Thou shalt go even to Babylon; Yet there shalt thou be delivered. Jehovah will redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
11 Adu a nasion ti naguornong ita a maibusor kenka; ket kunada, 'Matulawan koma isuna; makitatayo koma ti pannakadadael ti Sion.'”
Now many nations gather themselves against thee, Who say, Let her be polluted, And let our eyes gaze upon 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 know not the thoughts of Jehovah, And understand not his purposes; For he gathereth them as sheaves into the thrashing-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.”
Arise and thrash, O daughter of Zion! For I will make thy horns iron, And thy hoofs brass; Thou shalt beat in pieces many nations, And thou shalt devote their spoils to Jehovah, Their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
