< Mika 4 >
1 Mumazuva okupedzisira gomo retemberi yaJehovha richasimbiswa segomo guru pakati pamakomo; richasimudzwa pamusoro pezvikomo, uye marudzi achaenda kwariri.
In the days to come the mountain of the Lord will be established, the house of our God on the top of the mountain, lifted above the hills. All the nations will flow to it,
2 Ndudzi zhinji dzichauya dzichiti, “Uyai, handei kugomo raJehovha, kuimba yaMwari waJakobho. Achatidzidzisa nzira dzake, kuti tigofamba munzira dzake.” Murayiro uchabuda kubva paZioni, shoko raJehovha kubva paJerusarema.
and many peoples will go and say, “Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mount, to the house of the God of Jacob, so that he may instruct us in his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion proceeds instruction and the Lord’s word from Jerusalem.
3 Achatonga pakati pamarudzi mazhinji uye achapedza gakava pakati pendudzi dzine simba dziri kure kure. Vachapfura minondo yavo vagoiita mapadza, namapfumo vachiaita mapanga okuchekerera miti. Rudzi harungasimudziri rumwe rudzi munondo, havangazodzidzirizve kurwa.
He will arbitrate between many peoples, and render decisions for numerous nations, They will beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, they will learn war no more.
4 Mumwe nomumwe achagara pasi pomuzambiringa wake, napasi pomuonde wake, uye hapana anozovaita kuti vatye, nokuti Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ataura.
They will live each under his vine, and under his fig tree, with none to terrify them. For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
5 Ndudzi dzose dzingafamba muzita ravamwari vadzo; isu tichafamba muzita raJehovha Mwari wedu nokusingaperi-peri.
Each nation trusts in the names of their gods, but we will worship the Lord our God forever.
6 “Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “Ndichaunganidza vakaremara; ndichaunganidza vakadzingwa neavo vandakatambudza.
“On that day,” says the Lord, “I will assemble the lame. I will gather exiles I punished.
7 Ndicharemadza vakasara, vaya vakadzingwa, ivo rudzi rwakasimba. Jehovha achavatonga paGomo reZioni kubva pazuva iroro nokusingaperi.
I will restore the lame as a remnant, the exiles into a great nation. The Lord will rule over them on Mount Zion from that time forever.”
8 Kana uri iwe, chirindo cheboka iwe nhare yoMwanasikana weZioni, ushe hwakare huchadzoswa kwauri; umambo huchauya kuMwanasikana weJerusarema.”
But you, watchtower for the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you will return your former rule.
9 Sei muchiridza mhere iye zvino, hamuna mambo here? Gota renyu raparara here zvokuti kurwadza kwakubatai sekwomukadzi anosununguka?
So why do you now cry aloud? Haven’t you any king? Or has your counselor perished, so you writhe in pain like a woman in labor?
10 Tambura ugomere, iwe Mwanasikana weZioni, somukadzi ari pakusununguka, nokuti zvino unofanira kubuda muguta unogara kusango. Uchaenda kuBhabhironi; ikoko uchandonunurwa. Ikoko Jehovha achakudzikinura kubva paruoko rwavavengi vako.
Writhe and scream, daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor! For now you must leave the city and camp in the open field. You will be taken to Babylon, but there will be rescued. There the Lord will save you from the hands of your foes.
11 Asi zvino ndudzi zhinji dzakaunganira kuzokurwisa. Vanoti, “Ngaasvibiswe, maziso edu ngaatarise Zioni!”
But now many nations gather against you. They say, “Let her be defiled, we will gloat over Zion.”
12 Asi havazivi pfungwa dzaJehovha; havanzwisisi kuronga kwake, iye anovaunganidza sezvisote paburiro.
But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord. They do not understand his plan, for he has gathered them like sheaves for the threshing floor.
13 “Simuka upure, iwe Mwanasikana weZioni, nokuti ndichakupa nyanga dzesimbi; ndichakupa mahwanda endarira uye uchapwanya kuita zvidimbu ndudzi zhinji.” Uchatsaurira kuna Jehovha zvavakazviwanira nenzira dzavo, upfumi hwavo kuna Ishe wenyika yose.
“Arise, thresh, daughter of Zion. I will make your horns iron, and your hoofs brass, so you might beat in pieces many peoples, and devote to the Lord their spoil, and their wealth to the ruler of all the earth.
