< Micah 4 >
1 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,
Ní ọjọ́ ìkẹyìn a ó fi òkè ilé Olúwa lélẹ̀ lórí àwọn òkè ńlá, a ó sì gbé e ga ju àwọn òkè kéékèèké lọ, àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì máa wọ̀ sínú rẹ̀.
2 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.
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè yóò wá, wọn yóò sì wí pé, “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí á gòkè ńlá Olúwa, àti sí ilé Ọlọ́run Jakọbu. Òun yóò sì kọ́ wa ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, kí àwa kí ó lè rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀.” Òfin yóò jáde láti Sioni wá, àti ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa láti Jerusalẹmu.
3 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.
Òun yóò sì ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn, yóò sì parí aáwọ̀ fún orílẹ̀-èdè alágbára jíjìn réré. Wọn yóò sì fi idà wọn rọ ohun èlò ìtulẹ̀ àti ọ̀kọ̀ wọn di dòjé orílẹ̀-èdè kì yóò gbé idà sókè sí orílẹ̀-èdè mọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì yóò kọ́ ogun jíjà mọ́.
4 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.
Ṣùgbọ́n olúkúlùkù yóò jókòó lábẹ́ àjàrà rẹ̀ àti lábẹ́ igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ rẹ̀, ẹnìkan kì yóò sì dẹ́rùbà wọ́n, nítorí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti sọ̀rọ̀.
5 Each nation trusts in the names of their gods, but we will worship the Lord our God forever.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ń rìn, olúkúlùkù ni orúkọ ọlọ́run tirẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n àwa yóò máa rìn ní orúkọ Olúwa. Ọlọ́run wa láé àti láéláé.
6 ‘On that day,’ says the Lord, ‘I will assemble the lame. I will gather exiles I punished.
“Ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Èmi yóò kó àwọn arọ jọ; èmi yóò sì ṣà àwọn tí a lé kúrò ní ìlú jọ, àti àwọn ẹni tí èmi ti pọ́n lójú.
7 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.’
Èmi yóò dá àwọn arọ sí fún èyí tókù, èmi yóò sì sọ àwọn tí a lé kúrò ní ìlú di orílẹ̀-èdè alágbára. Olúwa yóò sì jẹ ọba lórí wọn ní òkè ńlá Sioni láti ìsinsin yìí lọ àti títí láéláé.
8 But you, watchtower for the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you will return your former rule.
Ní ti ìwọ, ilé ìṣọ́ agbo àgùntàn, odi alágbára ọmọbìnrin Sioni, a ó mú ìjọba ìṣáájú padà bọ̀ sípò fún un yín; ìjọba yóò sì wà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọmọbìnrin Jerusalẹmu.”
9 So why do you now cry aloud? Haven’t you any king? Or has your counsellor perished, so you writhe in pain like a woman in labour?
Kí ni ìwọ ha ń kígbe sókè sí nísinsin yìí? Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò ní ọba bí? Àwọn ìgbìmọ̀ rẹ ṣègbé bí? Nítorí ìrora ti dì ọ́ mú bí obìnrin tí ń rọbí.
10 Writhe and scream, daughter of Zion, like a woman in labour! 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.
Máa yí síyìn-ín sọ́hùn-ún nínú ìrora, ìwọ obìnrin Sioni, bí ẹni tí ń rọbí, nítorí nísinsin yìí ìwọ yóò jáde lọ kúrò ní ìlú, ìwọ yóò sì máa gbé inú igbó. Ìwọ yóò lọ sí Babeli; níbẹ̀ ni ìwọ yóò sì ti rí ìgbàlà. Níbẹ̀ ni Olúwa yóò ti rà ọ́ padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ.
11 But now many nations gather against you. They say, ‘Let her be defiled, we will gloat over Zion.’
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ Orílẹ̀-èdè kó ara wọn jọ sí ọ. Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a sọ ọ́ di àìmọ́, ẹ jẹ́ kí ojú wa kí ó wo Sioni!”
12 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.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mọ èrò inú Olúwa; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òye ìmọ̀ rẹ̀ kò yé wọn, nítorí ó ti kó wọn jọ bí i ìtí sínú ìpakà.
13 ‘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.
“Dìde, kí ó sì máa pa ọkà ìwọ ọmọbìnrin Sioni, nítorí èmi yóò sọ ìwo rẹ̀ di irin, èmi yóò sì sọ pátákò rẹ̀ di idẹ ìwọ yóò run ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè pátápátá.” Èmi yóò sì ya èrè wọn sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa àti ọrọ̀ wọn sí Olúwa gbogbo ayé.
