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.

But in the last days it shall come to pass, [that] the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto 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, and say, Come, 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 the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from 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 plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a 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.

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 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, and 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, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have 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 was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even 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 tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come 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 dost thou cry out aloud? [is there] no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.

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 to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go [even] to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine 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.

Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

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 know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into 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 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 people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
