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 last days it will come about that the mountain of Yahweh's house will be established over the other mountains. 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, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For from Zion the law will go out, and the word of Yahweh 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.
He will judge among many peoples and will decide concerning numerous nations far away. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any longer.
4 Et sedebit vir subtus vitem suam, et subtus ficum suam, et non erit qui deterreat: quia os Domini exercituum locutum est.
Instead, they will sit every person under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid, for the mouth of Yahweh 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.
For all the peoples walk, each one, in the name of their god. But we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God forever and ever.
6 In die illa, dicit Dominus, congregabo claudicantem: et eam, quam eieceram, colligam: et quam afflixeram consolabor:
“On that day”—this is Yahweh's declaration— “I will assemble the lame and gather the outcast, those whom 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.
I will turn the lame into a remnant, and the ones driven away into a strong nation, and I, Yahweh, will reign over them on Mount Zion, now and forever.
8 Et tu turris gregis nebulosa filia Sion usque ad te veniet: et veniet potestas prima, regnum filiae Ierusalem.
As for you, watchtower for the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion— to you it will come, your former dominion will be restored, the kingdom that belongs to 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 shout so loudly? Is there no king among you? Has your counselor died? Is this why pain grips you like that of 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 give birth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will you go out of the city, live in the field, and go to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There Yahweh will rescue 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 are assembled against you; they say, 'Let her be defiled; let our eyes gloat over Zion.'
12 Ipsi autem non cognoverunt cogitationes Domini, et non intellexerunt consilium eius: quia congregavit eos quasi foenum areae.
They do not know Yahweh's thoughts, neither do they understand his plans, for he has gathered them like bundles of grain prepared for 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 to be iron, and I will make your hooves to be bronze. You will crush many peoples and you will devote their unjust wealth to Yahweh, their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.”
