Micha Propheta 4

1 et in novissimo dierum erit mons domus Domini praeparatus in vertice montium et sublimis super colles et fluent ad eum populi

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 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 Hierusalem

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 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 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 et sedebit vir subtus vineam suam et subtus ficum suam et non erit qui deterreat quia os Domini exercituum locutum est

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 quia omnes populi ambulabunt unusquisque in nomine dei sui nos autem ambulabimus in nomine Domini Dei nostri in aeternum et ultra

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 in die illa dicit Dominus congregabo claudicantem et eam quam eieceram colligam et quam adflixeram

In that day, saith Jehovah, I will gather the halting, And the far scattered I will assemble, And 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 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 et tu turris Gregis nebulosa filiae Sion usque ad te veniet et veniet potestas prima regnum filiae Hierusalem

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 nunc quare maerore contraheris numquid rex non est tibi aut consiliarius tuus periit quia conprehendit te dolor sicut parturientem

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 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

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 et nunc congregatae sunt super te gentes multae quae dicunt lapidetur et aspiciat in Sion oculus noster

Now many nations gather themselves against thee, Who say, Let her be polluted, And let our eyes gaze upon Zion!

12 ipsi autem non cognoverunt cogitationes Domini et non intellexerunt consilium eius quia congregavit eos quasi faenum areae

But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, And understand not his purposes; For he gathereth them as sheaves into the thrashing-floor.

13 surge et tritura filia Sion quia cornu tuum ponam ferreum et ungulas tuas ponam aereas et comminues populos multos et interficiam Domino rapinas eorum et fortitudinem eorum Domino universae terrae

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.
