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 will happen that the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to 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.
Many nations will go and say, “Come! Let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, 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 the law will go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word 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. They will beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will 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 every man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid, for the mouth of the LORD of Armies 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.
Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
6 U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, sabraæu hrome, i skupiæu odagnane i kojima zlo uèinih.
“In that day,” says the LORD, “I will 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 the LORD will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever.”
8 I ti, kulo stadu, stijeno kæeri Sionskoj, tebi æe doæi, doæi æe prva vlast, carstvo kæeri Jerusalimske.
You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come. Yes, the former dominion will 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 do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counsellor perished, that pains have taken hold of you 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 labour to give birth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There the LORD will redeem 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.
Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, “Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion.”
12 Ali ne znaju misli Gospodnjih, niti razumiju namjere njegove, jer ih je skupio kao snoplje na gumno.
But they don’t know the thoughts of the LORD, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like 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, daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze. You will beat in pieces many peoples. I will devote their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
