Micheasza 4
1 Ale w ostatecznych dniach stanie się, że góra domu PANA będzie utwierdzona na szczycie gór i wywyższona ponad pagórki, a narody do niej popłyną.
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 I wiele narodów przybędzie, mówiąc: Chodźcie, wstąpmy na górę PANA, do domu Boga Jakuba, i będzie nas nauczał swoich dróg, a my będziemy chodzili jego ścieżkami. Z Syjonu bowiem wyjdzie prawo i słowo PANA z Jerozolimy.
[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 On będzie sądzić wśród wielu narodów i będzie karać narody potężne i odległe. I przekują swoje miecze na lemiesze, a swoje oszczepy na sierpy. Naród przeciwko narodowi nie podniesie miecza i już nie będą się uczyć sztuki wojennej.
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 Ale każdy będzie siedział pod swoją winoroślą i pod swoim drzewem figowym i nikt nie będzie ich straszył, bo to usta PANA zastępów powiedziały.
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 Wszystkie narody bowiem będą chodzić, każdy w imię swego boga, ale my będziemy chodzić w imię PANA, naszego Boga, na wieki wieków.
Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
6 W tym dniu, mówi PAN, zgromadzę chromą, zbiorę wygnaną oraz tę, którą trapiłem;
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 A z tej chromej uczynię resztkę, a z wygnanej – potężny naród. I PAN będzie królował nad nimi na górze Syjon odtąd aż na wieki.
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 A ty, wieżo trzody, twierdzo córki Syjonu, [wiedz, że] do ciebie przyjdzie, przyjdzie pierwsze panowanie, królestwo córki Jerozolimy.
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 Czemu teraz tak bardzo krzyczysz? Czy nie ma króla u ciebie? Czy twój doradca zginął, że cię ból ogarnął jak rodzącą?
[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 Odczuwaj ból i jęcz, córko Syjonu, jak rodząca, bo już wyjdziesz z miasta i zamieszkasz w polu, i pójdziesz aż do Babilonu. Tam będziesz wybawiona, tam cię PAN odkupi z rąk twoich wrogów.
[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 Teraz zebrało się przeciwko tobie wiele narodów, które mówią: Niech będzie zbezczeszczona, niech nasze oko patrzy na Syjon.
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 One jednak nie znają myśli PANA ani nie rozumieją jego rady. On bowiem je zgromadzi jak snopy na klepisku.
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 Wstań i młóć, córko Syjonu, bo twój róg uczynię z żelaza i twoje kopyta uczynię ze spiżu, i zmiażdżysz wiele narodów. Poświęcę PANU ich łupy i ich bogactwo Panu całej ziemi.
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.”
