Mika 4
1 F’ie amo andro honka’eo, le horizañe ho abo amo vohitseo ty vohin-anjomba’ Iehovà, haonjoñe ambone’ o haboañeo; vaho hivovotse mb’ama’e mb’eo ondatio.
Yahweh [says that] some day his temple will be on top of a mountain, and that mountain will be the most important [MET] one on the earth; it will be [as though it is] higher than all the hills, and huge groups of people from all over the world will come there [to worship].
2 Le homb’eo ty fifeheañe maro hanao ty hoe: Antao hionjom-b’am-bohi’Iehovà mb’eo, mb’amy anjomban’Añahare’Iakobey. hañòha’e antikañ’ o sata’eo, hañaveloan-tika o lala’eo. Hionjoñe boake Tsione ao ty Hàke, vaho hirike Ierosalaime ao ty tsara’ Iehovà,
[People from] many nations will say [to each other], “Let’s go to the mountain where Yahweh is, to the temple where we can worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. There God will teach us how he wants us to conduct our lives, and we will do what he wants us to do.” Zion [Hill] is the place where he will teach [people]; and [people will go] out from Jerusalem [to tell others] his messages.
3 hizaka añivo’ o kilakila ondatio vaho ho toroa’e lily o foko maozatse tsietoitane añeo. Le ho pehe’ iareo ho fangaly o fibarao naho ho fañeteke o lefo’ iareoo. Tsy hifañonjom-pibara o rofokoo, vaho tsy hiòke hialy ka.
Yahweh will settle disputes between many people, and he will [also] settle disputes between powerful nations that are far away. Then people will hammer their swords to cause them to become plow blades, and [hammer] their spears to cause them to become pruning knives. [Armies of] nations will no [longer] fight against [armies of other] nations, and they will no longer train [men how to fight] in wars.
4 Songa hiambesatse ambane’ ty vahe’e t’indaty naho ambane’ i sakoa’ey eo, tsy ao ty hahahembañe iareo, fa nitsara ty falie’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
Everyone will sit [peacefully] under his own grapevines, and under his own fig trees; no one will cause them to be afraid. [That is what will surely happen] because the Commander of the armies of angels has said it.
5 Sindre hanjotik’ ami’ty añaran-drahare’e o kilakila’ ondatio; fe hañavelo ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika nainai’e donia tika.
Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
6 Hatontoko amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, ze mikoletra, naho havoriko ty nasiotse añe vaho i nanilofakoy.
Yahweh says, “There will soon be a time when I will gather the people whom I have punished, who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries), all those whom [I have caused to] suffer much.
7 Hanoeko sehanga’e i nikoletray naho fifeheañe maozatse i nasiotsey. ie ho fehe’ Iehovà am-bohi’ i Tsione ao, henane zay naho ho nainai’e añe.
My people who did not die while they were exiled will become a strong nation [again]. Then [I], Yahweh, will be their king, and I will rule from Jerusalem forever.
8 Le ihe, ry Fitalakesañ’Abo i Lia-Raikey, ty haboa’ i anak’ ampela’ i Tsioney; eka, homb’ama’o mb’eo re; hitotsake eo i fifeheañe taoloy, ty fifeleha’ i Anak’ ampela’ Ierosalaimey.
As for you people of Jerusalem [MET], you who [guard all of my people] like [MET] [a shepherd guards his sheep] from a tower, you [who live on] Zion [Hill], will have great power again. You people who live in Jerusalem will again rule like you did previously.
9 Ino ty ikoiakoiaha’o? Tsy amam-panjaka hao? Nihomake hao i Mpanoro azoy, ihe fihine’ ty fanivontivoñañe manahake ty fitsongoan-drakemba?
[So] why [RHQ] are you wailing now? Is it because you have no king? Have all your wise people died? You are groaning loudly like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.
10 Minioniòra, mañeña, hisamaha’o, ry anak’ ampela’ i Tsione, manahake ty ampela mitsongo; fa hiavote’o henaneo i rovay, himoneñe an-kivok’ ao, am-para’ te mandoake e Bavele ao; añe irehe ho hahañe; añe ty hijebaña’ Iehovà azo am-pità’ o rafelahi’oo.
[Well], you people of Jerusalem should writhe and groan like [SIM] a woman who is having birth pains, because now you must leave this city, and [while you are traveling], you will set up tents in open fields [at night]; you will go to [live in] Babylon. [But while you are] there, [I], Yahweh, will rescue you; I will free you from the power/control [MTY] of your enemies.
11 Ie henanekeo maro ty fifeheañe mifanontoñe hialy ama’o, manao ty hoe: Ee t’ie ho tivaeñe, naho hahafisamba i Tsione o fihainon-tikañeo.
Now [the armies of] many nations have gathered to attack you. They are saying, ‘Jerusalem must be destroyed! We want to see this city [when it becomes ruins]!’
12 Fa tsy fohi’ iareo ty ereñere’ Iehovà; naho tsy apota’ iareo ty safiri’e; Ie ro nanontoñe iereo hoe ampemba an-toem-pamofohañe eo.
But they do not know what [I], Yahweh, think, and they do not understand what I plan: I will gather them [and punish them] like [SIM] [farmers] thresh grain on the ground.
13 Miongaha, mamofoha, ry anak’ ampela’ i Tsione; fa hanoeko viñe ty tsifa’o, naho hanoeko torisìke o hotro’oo; handemodemoke t’indaty maro; vaho hengae’o am’ Iehovà o nivokare’ iareo tsy too; ho amy Talè’ ty tane bey toiy ty vara’ iareo.
So, you people of Jerusalem, rise up and punish [MET] [the nations who oppose you]. I will cause you [to be very strong], [as if] [MET] you had horns made of iron, [as if] [MET] you had hoofs made of bronze; and you will crush many nations. And [then you will take] from your enemies the valuable things that they have taken [from other countries], and you will dedicate those things to [me, the one who is] the Lord of all [the people on] the earth.”
