Micha Propheta 4

1 Et erit: In novissimo dierum erit mons domus Domini praeparatus in vertice montium, et sublimis super colles: et fluent ad eum populi.

But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of Jehovah'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 Et properabunt gentes multae, et dicent: Venite, ascendamus ad montem Domini, et ad domum Dei Iacob: et docebit nos de viis suis, et ibimus in semitis eius: quia de Sion egredietur lex, et verbum Domini de Ierusalem.

Many nations will go and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, 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 out of Zion will go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem;

3 Et iudicabit inter populos multos, et corripiet gentes fortes usque in longinquum: et concident gladios suos in vomeres, et hastas suas in ligones: non sumet gens adversus gentem gladium: et non discent ultra belligerare.

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 Et sedebit vir subtus vitem suam, et subtus ficum suam, et non erit qui deterreat: quia os Domini exercituum locutum est.

But they will sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and no one will make them afraid: For the mouth of Jehovah of hosts has spoken.

5 Quia omnes populi ambulabunt unusquisque in nomine Dei sui: nos autem ambulabimus in nomine Domini Dei nostri in aeternum et ultra.

Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever and ever.

6 In die illa, dicit Dominus, congregabo claudicantem: et eam, quam eieceram, colligam: et quam afflixeram consolabor:

"In that day," says Jehovah, "I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;

7 Et ponam claudicantem in reliquias: et eam, quae laboraverat, in gentem robustam: et regnabit Dominus super eos in monte Sion, ex hoc nunc et usque in aeternum.

and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Jehovah will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever."

8 Et tu turris gregis nebulosa filia Sion usque ad te veniet: et veniet potestas prima, regnum filiae Ierusalem.

And you, tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

9 Nunc quare moerore contraheris? numquid rex non est tibi, aut consiliarius tuus periit, quia comprehendit te dolor sicut parturientem?

Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pain has gripped you like a woman in labor?

10 Dole, et satage filia Sion quasi parturiens: quia nunc egredieris de civitate, et habitabis in regione, et venies usque ad Babylonem, ibi liberaberis: ibi redimet te Dominus de manu inimicorum tuorum.

Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go forth out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There Jehovah will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.

11 Et nunc congregatae sunt super te gentes multae, quae dicunt: Lapidetur: et aspiciat in Sion oculus noster.

Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion."

12 Ipsi autem non cognoverunt cogitationes Domini, et non intellexerunt consilium eius: quia congregavit eos quasi foenum areae.

But they do not know the thoughts of Jehovah, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.

13 Surge, et tritura filia Sion: quia cornu tuum ponam ferreum, et ungulas tuas ponam aereas: et comminues populos multos, et interficies Domino rapinas eorum, et fortitudinem eorum Domino universae terrae.

Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze; and you will beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain to Jehovah, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
