< मिका 4 >
1 तर अन्त्यका दिनहरूमा परमप्रभुको घरानाको पर्वत अरू पर्वतहरूमाथि स्थापित हुनेछ । त्यो पहाडहरूभन्दा माथि उचालिनेछ र जाति-जातिहरू त्यसतर्फ जानेछन् ।
But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto 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 ye, 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 out of Zion shall go forth the 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 between many peoples, and shall reprove strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn 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 ।
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 किनभने हरेक जातिहरू तिनीहरूका ईश्वरहरूका नाममा हिँड्छन् । तर हामी हाम्रा परमेश्वर परमप्रभुको नाउँमा सदा सर्वदा हिँड्नेछौँ ।
For all the peoples 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 परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “त्यस दिनमा, म लङ्गडाहरू भेला गराउनेछु र निर्वासितहरूलाई एकसाथ ल्याउनेछु, तिनीहरू जसलाई मैले पीडा दिएको छु ।
In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven away, and her that 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 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 ए बगालको धरहरा, सियोनकी छोरीको पर्वत, तेरो पहिलेको राज्य अर्थात् यरूशलेमकी छोरीको राज्य पुनर्स्थापित हुनेछ ।
And thou, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come; yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of 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 dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no king in thee, is thy counsellor perished, that pangs have taken hold of thee as of a woman in travail?
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 labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Babylon; there shalt thou be rescued; there shall the LORD redeem thee from the hand of thine 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 are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see [its desire] upon Zion.
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 thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshingfloor.
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 will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and thou shalt devote their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
