< 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 has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of the house of YHWH Is established above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the hills, And flowed to it have peoples.
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 gone have many nations and said, “Come and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, And to the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths,” For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH 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 has judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations far off, They have beaten their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn war anymore.
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 they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of YHWH of Hosts has 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 the peoples walk, Each in the name of its god—and we, We walk in the Name of our God YHWH, For all time and forever.
6 Amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, No hanangonako ny mandringa Sy hamoriako izay noroahina Mbamin’ izay nampahoriko;
“In that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “I gather the halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she whom 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 have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off for a mighty nation, And YHWH has reigned over them in Mount Zion, From now on, and for all time.
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 you, O Tower of Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion, to you it comes, Indeed, the former rule has come in, 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 do you shout aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, That pain as of a travailing woman has taken hold of you?
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 pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now you go forth from the city, And you have dwelt in the field, And you have gone to Babylon, There you are delivered, There YHWH redeems you from the hand of your 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 have gathered against you, who are saying: “Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on 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.
They have not known the thoughts of YHWH, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He has gathered them as a sheaf [into] a threshing-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 make your horn iron, And I make your hooves bronze, And you have beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to YHWH their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
