< मिका 4 >
1 तर अन्त्यका दिनहरूमा परमप्रभुको घरानाको पर्वत अरू पर्वतहरूमाथि स्थापित हुनेछ । त्यो पहाडहरूभन्दा माथि उचालिनेछ र जाति-जातिहरू त्यसतर्फ जानेछन् ।
And at the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be manifest, established on the tops of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and the peoples shall hasten to it.
2 धेरै जातिहरू गएर भन्नेछन्, “आओ, परमप्रभुको पर्वत, अर्थात् याकूबका परमेश्वरको वासस्थानसम्म जाऔँ । उहाँले हामीलाई उहाँका मार्ग सिकाउनुहुनेछ, र हामी उहाँको बाटोमा हिँड्नेछौँ ।” किनभने सियोनबाट व्यवस्था र यरूशलेमबाट परमप्रभुको वचन बाहिर निस्कनेछ ।
And many nations shall go, and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall show us his way, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Sion shall go forth a law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
3 उहाँले धेरै जातिहरूको न्याय गर्नुहुनेछ र टाढा-टाढा भएका धेरै जातिहरूका विषयमा निर्णय गर्नुहुनेछ । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना तरवारहरूलाई पिटेर हलोका फाली र आफ्ना भालाहरूलाई छिमल्ने हँसिया बनाउँनेछन् । एउटा जातिले अर्को जातिको विरुद्ध तरवार उठाउने छैन, नत तिनीहरूले अबदेखि युद्धको निम्ति तालिम लिनेछन् ।
And he shall judge amongst many peoples, and shall rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles; and nation shall no more lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.
4 बरु, तिनीहरूले हरेक मानिसलाई उहाँको दाखको बोटमुनि र उहाँको नेभाराको रूखमुनि राख्नेछन् । कसैले पनि तिनीहरूलाई भयभीत बनाउनेछैन, किनभने सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु बोल्नुभएको छ ।
And every one shall rest under his vine, and every one under his fig tree; and there shall be none to alarm [them]: for the mouth of the Lord Almighty has spoken these [words].
5 किनभने हरेक जातिहरू तिनीहरूका ईश्वरहरूका नाममा हिँड्छन् । तर हामी हाम्रा परमेश्वर परमप्रभुको नाउँमा सदा सर्वदा हिँड्नेछौँ ।
For all [other] nations shall walk everyone in his own way, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
6 परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “त्यस दिनमा, म लङ्गडाहरू भेला गराउनेछु र निर्वासितहरूलाई एकसाथ ल्याउनेछु, तिनीहरू जसलाई मैले पीडा दिएको छु ।
In that day, says the Lord, I will gather her that is bruised, and will receive her that is cast out, and those whom I rejected.
7 म लङ्गडोलाई बाँकी जाति र निर्वासितहरूलाई एउटा बलियो जाति बनाउनेछु, र म, परमप्रभुले सदा सर्वदा तिनीहरूमाथि सियोन पर्वतमा शासन गर्नेछु ।
And I will make her that was bruised a remnant, and her that was rejected a mighty nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Sion from henceforth, even for ever.
8 ए बगालको धरहरा, सियोनकी छोरीको पर्वत, तेरो पहिलेको राज्य अर्थात् यरूशलेमकी छोरीको राज्य पुनर्स्थापित हुनेछ ।
And you, dark tower of the flock, daughter of Sion, on you the dominion shall come and enter in, [even] the first kingdom from Babylon to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 अब, तिमीहरू किन ठुलो सोरमा कराउँछौ? के तिमीहरूका बिचमा कोही राजा छैन? के तिमीहरूको सल्लाहकार मरिसक्यो? के यही कारणले प्रसववेदनाकी स्त्रीलाई झैँ पीडाले तिमीहरूलाई पक्रेको छ?
And now, why have you known calamities? was there not a king to you? or has your counsel perished that pangs as of a woman in travail have seized upon you?
10 सियोनकी छोरी, प्रसववेदनाकी स्त्रीझैँ बच्चा जन्माउनको निम्ति पीडा र वेदनामा पर् । किनभने अब तँ सहरबाट बाहिर जानेछस्, मैदानमा बस्नेछस्, र बेबिलोनमा जानेछस् । त्यहाँ तँलाई बचाइनेछ । त्यहाँ परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूका शत्रुका हातबाट तिमीहरूलाई बचाउनुहुनेछ ।
Be in pain, and strengthen yourself, and draw near, O daughter of Sion, as a woman in travail: for now you shall go forth out of the city, and shall lodge in the plain, and shall reach even to Babylon: thence shall the Lord your God deliver you, and thence shall he redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.
11 अब धेरै जातिहरू तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा एक भएका छन् । तिनीहरू भन्छन्, ‘त्यसलाई अपवित्र रहन देओ, हाम्रा आँखाले सियोनमाथि नजर लगाइरहून् ।’
And now have many nations gathered against you, saying, We will rejoice, and our eyes shall look upon Sion.
12 तिनीहरू परमप्रभुका विचार जान्दैनन्, नत तिनीहरू उहाँका योजनाहरू बुझ्छन्, किनभने उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खलाको निम्ति तयार गरिएको अन्नका बिटाझैँ बटुल्नुभएको छ ।
But they know not the thought of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: for he has gathered them as sheaves of the floor.
13 ए सियोनकी छोरी उठ् र दाइँ गर्, किनभने म तेरो सिङ्लाई फलाम र तेरा खुरलाई काँसा बनाउनेछु । तिमीहरूले धेरै जातिहरूलाई कुल्चनेछौ र तिनीहरूका अन्यायपूर्ण धन समस्त पृथ्वीका परमप्रभुकहाँ सुम्पनेछौ ।”
Arise, and thresh them, O daughter of Sion: for I will make your horns iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall utterly destroy many nations, and shall consecrate their abundance to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of all the earth.
