Micah 4

1 And it will be - at [the] end of the days it will be [the] mountain of [the] house of Yahweh established at [the] head of the mountains and it will be lifted up it more than [the] hills and they will stream to it peoples.

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 And they will come nations many and they will say come - so we may go up to [the] mountain of Yahweh and to [the] house of [the] God of Jacob so he may teach us from ways his so we may walk in paths his for from Zion it will go out instruction and [the] word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

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 And he will judge between peoples many and he will decide for nations mighty to far away and they will beat swords their into plowshares and spears their into pruning knives not they will lift up nation against nation a sword and not they will learn! again warfare.

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 And they will dwell everyone under own vine his and under own fig tree his and there not [will be one who] terrifies for [the] mouth of Yahweh of hosts it has spoken.

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 For all the peoples they walk everyone in [the] name of own god his and we we will walk in [the] name of Yahweh God our for ever and ever.

Each nation trusts in the names of their gods, but we will worship the Lord our God forever.

6 In the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh I will gather the [one who is] lame and the [one who is] outcast I will assemble and [those] whom I have done harm to.

“On that day,” says the Lord, “I will assemble the lame. I will gather exiles I punished.

7 And I will make the [one who was] lame into a remnant and the [one who was] straying into a nation mighty and he will reign Yahweh over them in [the] mountain of Zion from now and until perpetuity.

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 And you O Migdal Eder O hill of [the] daughter of Zion to you it will come and it will come the dominion former a kingdom to [the] daughter of Jerusalem.

But you, watchtower for the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you will return your former rule.

9 Now why? do you shout shouting ¿ a king [is] there not in you or? counselor your has he perished that it has taken hold of you anguish like [woman] giving birth.

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 Writhe in pain and burst forth O daughter of Zion like [woman] giving birth for now you will go out from [the] town and you will dwell in the open country and you will go to Babylon there you will be delivered there he will redeem you Yahweh from [the] hand of enemies your.

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 And now they have gathered on you nations many that are saying let her be polluted and let it look on Zion eyes our.

But now many nations gather against you. They say, “Let her be defiled, we will gloat over Zion.”

12 And they not they know [the] thoughts of Yahweh and not they understand counsel his that he has gathered them like cut grain [the] threshing floor towards.

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 Arise and thresh O daughter of Zion for horn your I will make iron and hooves your I will make bronze and you will crush peoples many and I will dedicate to destruction to Yahweh unjust gain their and wealth their to [the] lord of all the earth.

“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.
