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。
Yahweh [says that] some day his temple will be on top of a mountain, and that mountain will be the most important [MET] one on the earth; it will be [as though it is] higher than all the hills, and huge groups of people from all over the world will come there [to worship].
2 必有許多國的民前往，說： 來吧，我們登耶和華的山， 奔雅各上帝的殿。 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。
[People from] many nations will say [to each other], “Let’s go to the mountain where Yahweh is, to the temple where we can worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. There God will teach us how he wants us to conduct our lives, and we will do what he wants us to do.” Zion [Hill] is the place where he will teach [people]; and [people will go] out from Jerusalem [to tell others] his messages.
3 他必在多國的民中施行審判， 為遠方強盛的國斷定是非。 他們要將刀打成誆頭， 把槍打成鐮刀。 這國不舉刀攻擊那國； 他們也不再學習戰事。
Yahweh will settle disputes between many people, and he will [also] settle disputes between powerful nations that are far away. Then people will hammer their swords to cause them to become plow blades, and [hammer] their spears to cause them to become pruning knives. [Armies of] nations will no [longer] fight against [armies of other] nations, and they will no longer train [men how to fight] in wars.
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。
Everyone will sit [peacefully] under his own grapevines, and under his own fig trees; no one will cause them to be afraid. [That is what will surely happen] because the Commander of the armies of angels has said it.
5 萬民各奉己神的名而行； 我們卻永永遠遠奉耶和華－我們上帝的名而行。
Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
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。
Yahweh says, “There will soon be a time when I will gather the people whom I have punished, who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries), all those whom [I have caused to] suffer much.
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。
My people who did not die while they were exiled will become a strong nation [again]. Then [I], Yahweh, will be their king, and I will rule from Jerusalem forever.
8 你這羊群的高臺、錫安城的山哪， 從前的權柄－ 就是耶路撒冷民的國權－ 必歸與你。
As for you people of Jerusalem [MET], you who [guard all of my people] like [MET] [a shepherd guards his sheep] from a tower, you [who live on] Zion [Hill], will have great power again. You people who live in Jerusalem will again rule like you did previously.
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嗎？ 你的謀士滅亡了嗎？
[So] why [RHQ] are you wailing now? Is it because you have no king? Have all your wise people died? You are groaning loudly like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.
10 錫安的民哪， 你要疼痛劬勞，彷彿產難的婦人； 因為你必從城裏出來， 住在田野，到巴比倫去。 在那裏要蒙解救； 在那裏耶和華必救贖你脫離仇敵的手。
[Well], you people of Jerusalem should writhe and groan like [SIM] a woman who is having birth pains, because now you must leave this city, and [while you are traveling], you will set up tents in open fields [at night]; you will go to [live in] Babylon. [But while you are] there, [I], Yahweh, will rescue you; I will free you from the power/control [MTY] of your enemies.
11 現在有許多國的民聚集攻擊你，說： 願錫安被玷污！ 願我們親眼見她遭報！
Now [the armies of] many nations have gathered to attack you. They are saying, ‘Jerusalem must be destroyed! We want to see this city [when it becomes ruins]!’
12 他們卻不知道耶和華的意念， 也不明白他的籌劃。 他聚集他們，好像把禾捆聚到禾場一樣。
But they do not know what [I], Yahweh, think, and they do not understand what I plan: I will gather them [and punish them] like [SIM] [farmers] thresh grain on the ground.
13 錫安的民哪，起來踹穀吧！ 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。
So, you people of Jerusalem, rise up and punish [MET] [the nations who oppose you]. I will cause you [to be very strong], [as if] [MET] you had horns made of iron, [as if] [MET] you had hoofs made of bronze; and you will crush many nations. And [then you will take] from your enemies the valuable things that they have taken [from other countries], and you will dedicate those things to [me, the one who is] the Lord of all [the people on] the earth.”
