< मिका 4 >
1 तर अन्त्यका दिनहरूमा परमप्रभुको घरानाको पर्वत अरू पर्वतहरूमाथि स्थापित हुनेछ । त्यो पहाडहरूभन्दा माथि उचालिनेछ र जाति-जातिहरू त्यसतर्फ जानेछन् ।
But it shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days, that the mountain of the house of Yahweh shall be, set up, as the head of the mountains, and, exalted, shall it be, above the hills, —and peoples, shall stream thereunto;
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 ।
Yea many nations, shall go, and say—come ye, and let us ascend unto the mountain of Yahweh, and unto the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us of his ways, and we may walk in his paths, —for, out of Zion, shall go forth a law, and, the word of Yahweh, out of 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 will judge between many peoples, and be umpire to strong nations far and wide, —and they will beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks, Nation—against nation—shall not lift up sword, neither shall they learn—any more—to make war.
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 shall dwell—every man—under his own vine and under his own fig-tree, with none to make them afraid, —for, the mouth of Yahweh of hosts, hath spoken.
5 किनभने हरेक जातिहरू तिनीहरूका ईश्वरहरूका नाममा हिँड्छन् । तर हामी हाम्रा परमेश्वर परमप्रभुको नाउँमा सदा सर्वदा हिँड्नेछौँ ।
For, all the peoples, walk, every man in the name of his god, —we, therefore, will walk in the name of Yahweh our God, to times age-abiding and beyond.
6 परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “त्यस दिनमा, म लङ्गडाहरू भेला गराउनेछु र निर्वासितहरूलाई एकसाथ ल्याउनेछु, तिनीहरू जसलाई मैले पीडा दिएको छु ।
In that day, Declareth Yahweh, will I take up her teat is lame, and, her that hath been an outcast, will I carry, —even whomsoever 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 will make of her that was lame a residue, and of her that was removed far away a strong nation, —and Yahweh, shall be king, over them, in Mount Zion, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
8 ए बगालको धरहरा, सियोनकी छोरीको पर्वत, तेरो पहिलेको राज्य अर्थात् यरूशलेमकी छोरीको राज्य पुनर्स्थापित हुनेछ ।
Thou, therefore, O Migdal-eder, mound of the daughter of Zion, as far as thee, shall it come, —so shall arrive the chief dominion, 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?
Meanwhile, wherefore shouldst thou cry out aloud? King, is there none within thee? or hath, thy counselor, perished? for labour, hath seized thee, as a woman in child-birth: —
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 labour, and bear, O daughter of Zion, as a woman in child-birth, —for, meanwhile, shalt thou go forth out of the city, and dwell in the field, and shalt come as far as Babylon, there, shalt thou be delivered, there, will Yahweh, redeem thee, out of the grasp of thine enemies.
11 अब धेरै जातिहरू तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा एक भएका छन् । तिनीहरू भन्छन्, ‘त्यसलाई अपवित्र रहन देओ, हाम्रा आँखाले सियोनमाथि नजर लगाइरहून् ।’
Meanwhile, therefore, shall be gathered against thee many nations, —who are saying—Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze 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 purposes of Yahweh, neither have they discerned his counsel, —for he hath gathered them, as sheaves, to 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, thy horn, will I make to be iron, and, thy hoofs, will I make to he bronze, so shalt thou beat in pieces many peoples, —and shalt devote to Yahweh their unrighteous gain, and their substance, to the Lord of all the earth.
