Книга пророка Михея 4
1 И будет в последния дни явлена гора Господня, уготована над верхи гор, и вознесется выше холмов, и потщатся к ней людие,
In the last days, the mountain where the Lord's Temple stands will be recognized as the highest of all mountains, rising above other hills. Crowds of people from many places will travel to it.
2 и приидут языцы мнози и рекут: приидите, взыдем на гору Господню и в дом Бога Иаковля: и покажут нам путь Его, и пойдем по стезям Его: яко от Сиона изыдет закон, и слово Господне из Иерусалима,
Many nations will come and say, “Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. There God will teach us his ways and we will follow his directions.” God's teachings will spread out from Zion, his word from Jerusalem.
3 и разсудит среде людий многих и изобличит языки крепки даже до земли дальния: и раскуют мечы своя на рала и сулицы своя на серпы, и не ктому возмет язык на язык меча, и не научатся ксему воевати.
The Lord will decide the cases of the nations, he will settle arguments between distant powerful nations. They will hammer their swords and turn them into plough blades, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not fight against each other anymore; they will no longer learn methods of warfare.
4 И почиет кийждо под лозою своею и кийждо под смоковницею своею, и не будет устрашающаго, зане уста Господа Вседержителя глаголаша сия.
Everyone will be able to sit under their own vine and their own fig tree, for there will be no one to make them afraid. I the Lord Almighty has spoken!
5 Яко вси людие пойдут кийждо в путь свой, а мы пойдем во имя Господа Бога нашего в век и далечае.
Even though all the other nations follow their gods, we will follow the Lord our God forever and ever.
6 В той день, глаголет Господь, соберу сокрушенную, и отриновенную прииму, и ихже отринух:
On that day, declares the Lord, I will gather those who are lame, I will bring together those who have been scattered in exile, those whom I punished.
7 и положу сокрушенную во останок и отриновенную в язык крепок, и воцарится Господь над ними в горе Сионе отныне и до века.
I will make those who remain, crippled and driven far away, into a strong nation, and the Lord will rule them from Mount Zion forever and ever.
8 И ты, столпе паствы мгляный, дщи Сионя, к тебе приидет и внидет власть первая, царство из Вавилона дщери Иерусалимли.
And as for you, Jerusalem, watchtower of the flock, your former royal rule and power will be returned to you: the kingdom will be given back to Jerusalem.
9 И ныне вскую познала еси зло? Не бе ли тебе царя? Или совет твой погибе, яко обыдоша тя болезни, аки раждающия?
So why are you screaming aloud? Don't you have a king? Has the king who advises you died so that pain has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?
10 Болезнуй и мужайся и приближайся, дщи Сионя, яко раждающая: зане ныне изыдеши из града и вселишися на поли и дойдеши Вавилона: оттуду изимет тя и оттуду избавит тя Господь Бог твой от руки враг твоих.
Thrash around in agony like a woman giving birth, people of Zion—for you will be expelled from the city, forced to camp out in the open, and exiled to Babylon. But the Lord will bring you back, and rescue you from the power of your enemies.
11 И ныне собрашася на тя языцы мнози глаголющии: порадуемся: и воззрят на Сион очи наши.
Right now many enemies are gathered against you, saying, “Let us attack and violate her, so we can look with gloating over Zion!”
12 Сии же не разумеша помышления Господня и не домыслишася совета Его, яко собра их аки снопы гуменныя.
But they don't know what the Lord is thinking, and don't understand what he is planning. He has brought them together like bundles of grain to the threshing floor.
13 Востани и измлати их, дщи Сионя, яко роги твоя положу железны и пазнокти твоя положу медяны, и истончиши люди многи, и возложиши Господеви множество их и крепость их Господеви всея земли.
People of Zion, get up and start threshing, for I will make for you iron horns and bronze hooves so you can break many nations into pieces. You will present their stolen plunder to the Lord, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
