< मिका 4 >
1 तर अन्त्यका दिनहरूमा परमप्रभुको घरानाको पर्वत अरू पर्वतहरूमाथि स्थापित हुनेछ । त्यो पहाडहरूभन्दा माथि उचालिनेछ र जाति-जातिहरू त्यसतर्फ जानेछन् ।
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 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 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 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 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 बरु, तिनीहरूले हरेक मानिसलाई उहाँको दाखको बोटमुनि र उहाँको नेभाराको रूखमुनि राख्नेछन् । कसैले पनि तिनीहरूलाई भयभीत बनाउनेछैन, किनभने सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु बोल्नुभएको छ ।
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 किनभने हरेक जातिहरू तिनीहरूका ईश्वरहरूका नाममा हिँड्छन् । तर हामी हाम्रा परमेश्वर परमप्रभुको नाउँमा सदा सर्वदा हिँड्नेछौँ ।
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 परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “त्यस दिनमा, म लङ्गडाहरू भेला गराउनेछु र निर्वासितहरूलाई एकसाथ ल्याउनेछु, तिनीहरू जसलाई मैले पीडा दिएको छु ।
“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 म लङ्गडोलाई बाँकी जाति र निर्वासितहरूलाई एउटा बलियो जाति बनाउनेछु, र म, परमप्रभुले सदा सर्वदा तिनीहरूमाथि सियोन पर्वतमा शासन गर्नेछु ।
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 ए बगालको धरहरा, सियोनकी छोरीको पर्वत, तेरो पहिलेको राज्य अर्थात् यरूशलेमकी छोरीको राज्य पुनर्स्थापित हुनेछ ।
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 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?
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 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 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 अब धेरै जातिहरू तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा एक भएका छन् । तिनीहरू भन्छन्, ‘त्यसलाई अपवित्र रहन देओ, हाम्रा आँखाले सियोनमाथि नजर लगाइरहून् ।’
And now, many nations have gathered against you, who are saying: “Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.”
12 तिनीहरू परमप्रभुका विचार जान्दैनन्, नत तिनीहरू उहाँका योजनाहरू बुझ्छन्, किनभने उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खलाको निम्ति तयार गरिएको अन्नका बिटाझैँ बटुल्नुभएको छ ।
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 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, 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!
