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.
And it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of the house of YHWH Is established above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the hills, And flowed to it have peoples.
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 gone have many nations and said, “Come and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, And to the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths,” For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH 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 has judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations far off, They have beaten their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn war anymore.
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.
And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of YHWH of Hosts has spoken.
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, Each in the name of its god—and we, We walk in the Name of our God YHWH, For all time and forever.
6 U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, sabraæu hrome, i skupiæu odagnane i kojima zlo uèinih.
“In that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “I gather the halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she whom 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 have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off for a mighty nation, And YHWH has reigned over them in Mount Zion, From now on, and for all time.
8 I ti, kulo stadu, stijeno kæeri Sionskoj, tebi æe doæi, doæi æe prva vlast, carstvo kæeri Jerusalimske.
And you, O Tower of Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion, to you it comes, Indeed, the former rule has come in, The kingdom to 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 do you shout aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, That pain as of a travailing woman has taken hold of you?
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 pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now you go forth from the city, And you have dwelt in the field, And you have gone to Babylon, There you are delivered, There YHWH redeems you from the hand of your 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 have gathered against you, who are saying: “Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.”
12 Ali ne znaju misli Gospodnjih, niti razumiju namjere njegove, jer ih je skupio kao snoplje na gumno.
They have not known the thoughts of YHWH, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He has gathered them as a sheaf [into] a 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 make your horn iron, And I make your hooves bronze, And you have beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to YHWH their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
