< Michas 4 >
1 Un notiks pastara laikā, tad Tā Kunga nama kalns stāvēs pāri pār visiem kalniem un būs paaugstināts pār pakalniem.
In the last days, the mountain where the Lord's Temple stands will be recognized as the highest of all mountains, rising above other hills. Crowds of people from many places will travel to it.
2 Un tautas tur plūdīs un daudz pagāni tur noies un sacīs: “Nāciet, ejam augšā uz Tā Kunga kalnu un uz Jēkaba Dieva namu, ka Viņš mums māca Savus ceļus, un mēs staigājam Viņa tekās”, jo no Ciānas izies mācība un Tā Kunga vārds no Jeruzālemes.
Many nations will come and say, “Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. There God will teach us his ways and we will follow his directions.” God's teachings will spread out from Zion, his word from Jerusalem.
3 Un Viņš tiesās lielas tautas un sodīs varenus pagānus it tālu, un tie pārkals savus zobenus par lemešiem un savus šķēpus par cirpēm (ecešām), tauta pret tautu nepacels zobenu un vairs nemācīsies karot,
The Lord will decide the cases of the nations, he will settle arguments between distant powerful nations. They will hammer their swords and turn them into plough blades, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not fight against each other anymore; they will no longer learn methods of warfare.
4 Bet tie sēdēs ikviens apakš sava vīna koka un apakš sava vīģes koka, un nebūs neviena, kas tos iztrūcinās, jo Tā Kunga Cebaot mute to runājusi.
Everyone will be able to sit under their own vine and their own fig tree, for there will be no one to make them afraid. I the Lord Almighty has spoken!
5 Jo visas tautas staigā ikviena sava dieva vārdā, bet mēs staigāsim Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdā mūžīgi mūžam.
Even though all the other nations follow their gods, we will follow the Lord our God forever and ever.
6 “Tai dienā,” saka Tas Kungs, “Es sapulcināšu, kas klibo, un salasīšu, kas aizdzīts, un ko Es biju mocījis,
On that day, declares the Lord, I will gather those who are lame, I will bring together those who have been scattered in exile, those whom I punished.
7 Un Es darīšu, ka klibajam būs atlikums un ka aizdzītais paliks par varenu tautu, un Tas Kungs būs ķēniņš pār tiem Ciānas kalnā no šā laika un mūžīgi mūžam.
I will make those who remain, crippled and driven far away, into a strong nation, and the Lord will rule them from Mount Zion forever and ever.
8 Un tu ganības torni, Ciānas meitas stiprums, pie tevis nāks un tev tiks tā pirmā valdība, Jeruzālemes meitas valstība.”
And as for you, Jerusalem, watchtower of the flock, your former royal rule and power will be returned to you: the kingdom will be given back to Jerusalem.
9 Nu tad, kāpēc tu brēc ar tādu brēkšanu? Vai tev nav ķēniņa? Vai tavs padoma devējs gājis bojā, ka tevi sāpes sagrābušas, kā dzemdētāju?
So why are you screaming aloud? Don't you have a king? Has the king who advises you died so that pain has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?
10 Ciet jel un vaidi, Ciānas meita, kā dzemdētāja. Jo nu tu gan iziesi no pilsētas ārā un dzīvosi laukā un iesi uz Bābeli, bet tur tu tapsi izglābta, tur tevi Tas Kungs izpestīs no tavu ienaidnieku rokas.
Thrash around in agony like a woman giving birth, people of Zion—for you will be expelled from the city, forced to camp out in the open, and exiled to Babylon. But the Lord will bring you back, and rescue you from the power of your enemies.
11 Nu gan daudz pagānu pret tevi sapulcināti un saka: lai viņa top sagānīta, lai mūsu acis (prieku) redz pie Ciānas.
Right now many enemies are gathered against you, saying, “Let us attack and violate her, so we can look with gloating over Zion!”
12 Bet tie nezin Tā Kunga domas un nesaprot Viņa padomu, ka Viņš tos sakrājis kā kūlīšus piedarbā.
But they don't know what the Lord is thinking, and don't understand what he is planning. He has brought them together like bundles of grain to the threshing floor.
13 Celies un kul, Ciānas meita, jo Es tavu ragu darīšu par dzelzi un tavus nagus par varu, un tu sakulsi daudz tautas; tad es Tam Kungam nosvētīšu, ko viņi laupījuši, un viņu padomu visas pasaules Valdītājam.
People of Zion, get up and start threshing, for I will make for you iron horns and bronze hooves so you can break many nations into pieces. You will present their stolen plunder to the Lord, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
