Mika 4

1 Nna a edi akyi no mu no, Awurade asɔredan bepɔw no betim sɛ mmepɔw no nyinaa ti; ebegye din aboro nkoko nyinaa, na nnipa ahorow bɛbɔ yuu akɔ hɔ.

But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow to it.

2 Aman bebree bɛba abɛka se, “Mommra mma yɛnkɔ Awurade bepɔw no so, nkɔ Yakob Nyankopɔn fi. Ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn nʼakwan sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛbɛnantew nʼatempɔn so.” Mmara no befi Sion aba, na Awurade asɛm afi Yerusalem.

And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us 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 shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

3 Obebu amanaman ntam atɛn na obesiesie nnipa bebree ntam asɛm. Wɔde wɔn afoa bɛbobɔ nsɔw na wɔde wɔn mpeaw ayɛ asosɔw. Ɔman bi rentwe ɔman foforo so afoa, na wɔrenyɛ ahoboa biara mma ɔko bio.

And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

4 Obiara bɛtena ne bobe anaa ne borɔdɔma nnua ase, na obiara remmehunahuna wɔn, efisɛ, Asafo Awurade akasa.

But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken it.

5 Amanaman no nyinaa betumi anantew wɔn anyame din mu, na yɛn de, yɛbɛnantew Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn Din mu daa daa.

For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

6 “Saa da no,” sɛnea Awurade se ni, “Mɛboaboa mmubuafo, atukɔfo ɛne wɔn a mede awerɛhow aba wɔn so ano.

In that day, says the LORD, will I assemble her that halts, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;

7 Mɛma mmubuafo ayɛ me nkurɔfo wɔ asase no so, atukɔfo no bɛyɛ ɔman kɛse. Awurade bedi wɔn so hene wɔ Sion bepɔw so afi da no akosi daa.

And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from now on, even for ever.

8 Na wo, nguankuw no abantenten, Ɔbabea Sion, abandennen, wɔde wo tete tumidi no bɛsan abrɛ wo; Ɔbabea Yerusalem nsa bɛsan aka nʼahenni.”

And you, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, to you shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.

9 Adɛn nti na afei woresu dennen, wunni ɔhene ana? Wo futufo ayera, na enti ɔyaw aka wo sɛ ɔbea a ɔwɔ awoko mu?

Now why do you cry out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counselor perished? for pangs have taken you as a woman in travail.

10 Bukabukaw wo mu wɔ yawdi mu, Ɔbabea Sion, te sɛ ɔbea a awo aka no, mprempren ɛsɛ sɛ wufi kuropɔn no mu kɔtena sare so. Wobɛkɔ Babilonia; na hɔ na wobegye wo. Ɛhɔ na Awurade begye wo afi wʼatamfo nsam.

Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city, and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon; there shall you be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.

11 Mprempren de, aman bebree aka abɔ mu atia wo. Wɔka se, “Wongu Sion ho fi, na yɛmfa yɛn ani nhwɛ no!”

Now also many nations are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look on Zion.

12 Nanso wonnim Awurade adwene. Wɔnte nʼagyinatu ase. Wonnim sɛ ɔno na ɔboaboa wɔn ano te sɛ afiafi de kɔ awiporowbea.

But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

13 “Sɔre, na porow, Ɔbabea Sion, mɛma wo dade mmɛn; mɛma wo kɔbere tɔte na wubebubu aman bebree mu nketenkete.” Wode wɔn mfaso a wɔampɛ no ɔkwan pa so bɛbrɛ Awurade, wode wɔn ahonyade bɛbrɛ asase nyinaa so wura.

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
