< 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 in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto 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 and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, 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 shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD 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 shall judge between many peoples, and shall reprove strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up 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 man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD 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
For all the peoples will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD 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 the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven away, and her that 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 her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth even for ever.
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, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come; yea, the former dominion shall come, 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
Now why dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no king in thee, is thy counsellor 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
Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Babylon; there shalt thou be rescued; there shall the LORD 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
And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see [its desire] 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 the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshingfloor.
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 thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and thou shalt devote their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
