彌迦書 4
1
末後的日子、耶和華殿的山必堅立、超乎諸山、高舉過於萬嶺.萬民都要流歸這山。

In the last days the mountain of the LORD'S temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.

2
必有許多國的民前往、說、來罷、我們登耶和華的山、奔雅各 神的殿.主必將他的道教訓我們、我們也要行他的路.因為訓誨必出於錫安、耶和華的言語、必出於耶路撒冷。

Many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

3
他必在多國的民中施行審判、為遠方強盛的國斷定是非.他們要將刀打成犁頭、把槍打成鐮刀.這國不舉刀攻擊那國、他們也不再學習戰事。

He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

4
人人都要坐在自己葡萄樹下和無花果樹下、無人驚嚇.這是萬軍之耶和華親口說的。

Every man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the LORD Almighty has spoken.

5
萬民各奉己神的名而行.我們卻永永遠遠奉耶和華我們 神的名而行。

All the nations may walk in the name of their gods; we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

6
耶和華說、到那日我必聚集瘸腿的、招聚被趕出的和我所懲治的.

"In that day," declares the LORD, "I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief.

7
我必使瘸腿的為餘剩之民、使趕到遠方的為強盛之民.耶和華要在錫安山作王治理他們、從今直到永遠。

I will make the lame a remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The LORD will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever.

8
你這羊群的高臺、錫安城的山哪、〔城原文作女子〕從前的權柄、就是耶路撒冷民的國權、〔民原文作女子〕必歸與你。

As for you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem."

9
現在你為何大聲哭號呢.疼痛抓住你彷彿產難的婦人.是因你中間沒有君王麼、你的謀士滅亡了麼。

Why do you now cry aloud--have you no king? Has your counselor perished, that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?

10
錫安的民哪、〔原文作女子〕你要疼痛劬勞彷彿產難的婦人.因為你必從城裡出來、住在田野、到巴比倫去.在那裡要蒙解救、在那裡耶和華必救贖你脫離仇敵的手。

Writhe in agony, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor, for now you must leave the city to camp in the open field. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued. There the LORD will redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.

11
現在有許多國的民聚集攻擊你、說、願錫安被玷污、願我們親眼見他遭報。

But now many nations are gathered against you. They say, "Let her be defiled, let our eyes gloat over Zion!"

12
他們卻不知道耶和華的意念、也不明白他的籌畫.他聚集他們、好像把禾捆聚到禾場一樣。

But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD; they do not understand his plan, he who gathers them like sheaves to the threshing floor.

13
錫安的民哪、〔民原文作女子〕起來踹榖罷.我必使你的角成為鐵、使你的蹄成為銅。你必打碎多國的民.將他們的財獻與耶和華、將他們的貨獻與普天下的主。

"Rise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion, for I will give you horns of iron; I will give you hoofs of bronze and you will break to pieces many nations." You will devote their ill-gotten gains to the LORD, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
