Mihej 4

1 Ali æe u pošljednja vremena biti utvrðena gora doma Gospodnjega navrh gora i uzvišena iznad humova, i narodi æe se stjecati k njoj.

But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of Jehovah’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it.

2 I iæi æe mnogi narodi govoreæi: hodite, da idemo na goru Gospodnju i u dom Boga Jakovljeva, i uèiæe nas svojim putovima, i hodiæemo njegovijem stazama; jer æe iz Siona izaæi zakon i rijeè Gospodnja iz Jerusalima.

And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah from Jerusalem;

3 I sudiæe meðu mnogim narodima, i pokaraæe jake narode nadaleko, i oni æe raskovati maèeve svoje na raonike, i koplja svoja na srpove; neæe dizati maèa narod na narod, niti æe se više uèiti ratu.

and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

4 Nego æe sjedjeti svaki pod svojom vinovom lozom i pod smokvom, i neæe biti nikoga da ih plaši; jer usta Gospoda nad vojskama rekoše.

But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it.

5 Jer æe svi narodi hoditi svaki u ime boga svojega; a mi æemo hoditi u ime Gospoda Boga svojega uvijek i dovijeka.

For all the peoples walk every one in the name of his god; and we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God for ever and ever.

6 U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, sabraæu hrome, i skupiæu odagnane i kojima zlo uèinih.

In that day, saith Jehovah, will I assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;

7 I uèiniæu od hromijeh ostatak i od odagnanih silan narod; i Gospod æe carovati nad njima na gori Sionu otsada i dovijeka.

and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Jehovah will reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth even for ever.

8 I ti, kulo stadu, stijeno kæeri Sionskoj, tebi æe doæi, doæi æe prva vlast, carstvo kæeri Jerusalimske.

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 Zašto vièeš tako jako? nema li cara u tebi? eda li izgiboše tvoji savjetnici, te te obuzeše bolovi kao porodilju?

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 Muèi se i vièi, kæeri Sionska, kao porodilja, jer æeš izaæi iz grada i stanovaæeš u polju, i otiæi æeš u Vavilon; ondje æeš se osloboditi, ondje æe te iskupiti Gospod iz ruku neprijatelja tvojih.

Be in pain, and labor 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 will Jehovah redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

11 A sada se sabraše na te mnogi narodi govoreæi: da se oskvrni, i da se oèi naše nagledaju Siona.

And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see [our desire] upon Zion.

12 Ali ne znaju misli Gospodnjih, niti razumiju namjere njegove, jer ih je skupio kao snoplje na gumno.

But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his counsel; for he hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor.

13 Ustani i vrsi, kæeri Sionska, jer æu ti naèiniti rog gvozden, i kopita æu ti naèiniti mjedena, te æeš satrti mnoge narode, i posvetiæu Gospodu blago njihovo i imanje njihovo Gospodu sve zemlje.

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain unto Jehovah, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
