Miquéias 4
1 Mas acontecerá nos últimos dias que o monte da casa do SENHOR será firmado no cume de montes, e será mais elevado que os morros; e os povos correrão a ele.
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 E muitas nações virão e dirão: Vinde, e subamos ao monte do SENHOR, à casa do Deus de Jacó; e ele nos ensinará seus caminhos, e nós andaremos em suas veredas; porque a lei virá de Sião, e a palavra do SENHOR de Jerusalém.
[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 E ele julgará entre muitos povos, e corrigirá poderosas nações até muito longe; e adaptarão suas espadas para enxadas, e suas lanças para foices; nação não erguerá espada contra nação, nem mais aprenderão a [fazer] guerra.
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 E cada um se sentará debaixo de sua videira e debaixo de sua figueira, e não haverá quem lhes cause medo; porque a boca do SENHOR dos exércitos assim falou.
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 Pois todos os povos andam cada um no nome de seus deuses; nós, porém, andaremos no nome do SENHOR nosso Deus para todo o sempre.
Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
6 Naquele dia, diz o SENHOR, reunirei a que mancava, e ajuntarei a que havia sido expulsa, e a que eu tinha maltratado.
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 E farei da que mancava um [povo] restante, da que havia sido expulsa uma nação poderosa; e o SENHOR reinará sobre eles no monte de Sião desde agora para sempre.
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 E tu, ó torre de vigilância do rebanho, tu fortaleza da filha de Sião, virá a ti o primeiro domínio; o reino chegará à filha de Jerusalém.
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 Agora por que gritas tanto? Não há rei em ti? Pereceu teu conselheiro, para que tenhas sido tomada por dores como as de parto?
[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 Sofre dores e contorce-te, ó filha de Sião, como mulher em trabalho de parto; porque agora sairás da cidade, e morarás no campo, e virás até a Babilônia; [porém] ali tu serás livrada, ali o SENHOR te redimirá da mão de teus inimigos.
[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 Mas agora muitas nações se reuniram contra ti, e dizem: Seja profanada, e nossos olhos vejam a desgraça de Sião.
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 Mas elas não sabem os pensamentos do SENHOR, nem entendem seu conselho; de que ele as ajuntou como a feixes para a eira.
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 Levanta-te e trilha, ó filha de Sião, porque tornarei teu chifre de ferro, e tuas unhas de bronze, e esmiuçarás muitos povos; e consagrarás ao SENHOR seus ganhos, e seus bens ao Senhor de toda a terra.
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.”
