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.
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 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.
[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 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.
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 Nego æe sjedjeti svaki pod svojom vinovom lozom i pod smokvom, i neæe biti nikoga da ih plaši; jer usta Gospoda nad vojskama rekoše.
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 Jer æe svi narodi hoditi svaki u ime boga svojega; a mi æemo hoditi u ime Gospoda Boga svojega uvijek i dovijeka.
Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
6 U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, sabraæu hrome, i skupiæu odagnane i kojima zlo uèinih.
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 I uèiniæu od hromijeh ostatak i od odagnanih silan narod; i Gospod æe carovati nad njima na gori Sionu otsada i dovijeka.
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 I ti, kulo stadu, stijeno kæeri Sionskoj, tebi æe doæi, doæi æe prva vlast, carstvo kæeri Jerusalimske.
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 Zašto vièeš tako jako? nema li cara u tebi? eda li izgiboše tvoji savjetnici, te te obuzeše bolovi kao porodilju?
[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 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.
[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 A sada se sabraše na te mnogi narodi govoreæi: da se oskvrni, i da se oèi naše nagledaju Siona.
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 Ali ne znaju misli Gospodnjih, niti razumiju namjere njegove, jer ih je skupio kao snoplje na gumno.
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 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.
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.”
