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 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 Hierusalem

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 vineam 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 adflixeram

“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 filiae Sion usque ad te veniet et veniet potestas prima regnum filiae Hierusalem

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 maerore contraheris numquid rex non est tibi aut consiliarius tuus periit quia conprehendit 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 faenum 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 interficiam 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.”
