Mika 4

1 Ary izao no ho tonga any am-parany: Ny tendrombohitra misy ny tranon’ i Jehovah dia haorina eo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Ary hasandratra ho avo noho ny havoana; Ary ny firenena hitanjozotra hankany.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared in the top of mountains, and high above the hills: and people shall flow to it.

2 Eny, maro ny jentilisa no hiainga ka hanao hoe: Andeha Isika hiakatra any an-tendrombohitr’ i Jehovah, Ho any an-tranon’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba, Mba hampianarany antsika ny amin’ ny lalany, Ka handehanantsika amin’ ny atorony; Fa avy any Ziona no hivoahan’ ny lalàna, Ary avy any Jerosalema ny tenin’ i Jehovah.

And many nations shall come in haste, and say: Come, 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 the law shall go forth out of Sion, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.

3 Ary hitsara ny adin’ ny firenena maro Izy Ka hampiaiky ny firenena mahery hatrany amin’ ny lavitra; Dia hanefy ny sabany ho fangady ireny Ary ny lefony ho fanetezam-boaloboka; Ny firenena tsy hanainga sabatra hifamely; Na hianatra ady intsony.

And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into spades: nation shall not take sword against nation: neither shall they learn war any more.

4 Fa samy hipetraka eny ambanin’ ny voalobony sy ny aviaviny izy, Ary tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy; Fa ny vavan’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no efa niteny.

And every man shall sit under his vine, and under his fig tree, and there shall be none to make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken.

5 Fa ny firenena rehetra samy mandeha amin’ ny anaran’ ny andriamaniny avy; Fa isika kosa handeha amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika mandrakizay doria.

For all people will walk every one in the name of his god: but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

6 Amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, No hanangonako ny mandringa Sy hamoriako izay noroahina Mbamin’ izay nampahoriko;

In that day, saith the Lord, I will gather up her that halteth: and her that I had cast out, I will gather up: and her whom I had afflicted.

7 Ary ny mandringa no hapetrako ho sisa, Ary izay noroahina lavitra ho firenena mahery; Ary Jehovah hanjaka aminy ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona Hatramin’ izany ka ho mandrakizay.

And I will make her that halted, a remnant: and her that hath been afflicted, a mighty nation: and the Lord will reign over them in mount Sion, from this time now and for ever.

8 Ary ianao, ry tilikambon’ ny andiany’. Tendrombohitr’ i Ziona zanakavavy, Aminao no ho tonga izany, eny, ho tonga ny fanapahana voalohany, Dia ny fanjakan i Jerosalema zanakavavy.

And thou, O cloudy tower of the flock, of the daughter of Sion, unto thee shall it come: yea the first power shall come, the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.

9 Koa nahoana no mitaraina mafy ianao? Moa tsy misy mpanjaka va ao aminao, Sa lany ringana avokoa ny mpanolotsainao, No dia azon’ ny fanaintainana ianao, toy ny vehivavy raha miteraka?

Now, why art thou drawn together with grief? Hast thou no king in thee, or is thy counsellor perished, because sorrow hath taken thee as a woman in labour?

10 Ry Ziona zanakavavy, mararia, ka manezaha, Toy ny vehivavy raha miteraka! Fa ankehitriny dia hivoaka avy any an-tanàna ianao Ka hipetraka any an-tsaha, Ary dia ho tonga hatrany Babylona aza; Any no hamonjena anao, Eny, any no hanavotan’ i Jehovah anao ho afaka amin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalonao.

Be in pain and labour, O daughter of Sion, as a woman that bringeth forth: for now shalt thou go out of the city, and shalt dwell in the country, and shalt come even to Babylon, there thou shalt be delivered: there the Lord will redeem thee out of the hand of thy enemies.

11 Ary ankehitriny dia tafangona hamely anao ny firenena maro, Izay manao hoe: Aoka halam-baraka Ziona, Ary aoka ny masontsika ho faly mijery azy.

And now many nations are gathered together against thee, and they say: Let her be stoned: and let our eye look upon Sion.

12 Kanjo tsy fantatr’ ireny ny hevitr’ i Jehovah, Na azony ny fisainany; Fa efa nanangona azy toy ny amboara ho ao am-pamoloana Izy.

But they have not known the thoughts of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: because he hath gathered them together as the hay of the floor.

13 Mitsangàna, ka miveleza, ry Ziona zanakavavy, Fa ny tandrokao hataoko vy, Ary ny kitronao hataoko varahina, Ka hanorotoro firenena maro ianao; Dia hatolotrao ho an’ i Jehovah ny hareny, Ary ho an’ ny Tompon’ ny tany rehetra ny fananany.

Arise, and tread, O daughter of Sion: for I will make thy horn iron, and thy hoofs I will make brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples, and shalt immolate the spoils of them to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of the whole earth.
