Micah 4
1 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].
Ale w ostatecznych dniach stanie się, że góra domu PANA będzie utwierdzona na szczycie gór i wywyższona ponad pagórki, a narody do niej popłyną.
2 [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.
I wiele narodów przybędzie, mówiąc: Chodźcie, wstąpmy na górę PANA, do domu Boga Jakuba, i będzie nas nauczał swoich dróg, a my będziemy chodzili jego ścieżkami. Z Syjonu bowiem wyjdzie prawo i słowo PANA z Jerozolimy.
3 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.
On będzie sądzić wśród wielu narodów i będzie karać narody potężne i odległe. I przekują swoje miecze na lemiesze, a swoje oszczepy na sierpy. Naród przeciwko narodowi nie podniesie miecza i już nie będą się uczyć sztuki wojennej.
4 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.
Ale każdy będzie siedział pod swoją winoroślą i pod swoim drzewem figowym i nikt nie będzie ich straszył, bo to usta PANA zastępów powiedziały.
5 Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
Wszystkie narody bowiem będą chodzić, każdy w imię swego boga, ale my będziemy chodzić w imię PANA, naszego Boga, na wieki wieków.
6 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.
W tym dniu, mówi PAN, zgromadzę chromą, zbiorę wygnaną oraz tę, którą trapiłem;
7 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.
A z tej chromej uczynię resztkę, a z wygnanej – potężny naród. I PAN będzie królował nad nimi na górze Syjon odtąd aż na wieki.
8 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.
A ty, wieżo trzody, twierdzo córki Syjonu, [wiedz, że] do ciebie przyjdzie, przyjdzie pierwsze panowanie, królestwo córki Jerozolimy.
9 [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.
Czemu teraz tak bardzo krzyczysz? Czy nie ma króla u ciebie? Czy twój doradca zginął, że cię ból ogarnął jak rodzącą?
10 [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.
Odczuwaj ból i jęcz, córko Syjonu, jak rodząca, bo już wyjdziesz z miasta i zamieszkasz w polu, i pójdziesz aż do Babilonu. Tam będziesz wybawiona, tam cię PAN odkupi z rąk twoich wrogów.
11 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]!’
Teraz zebrało się przeciwko tobie wiele narodów, które mówią: Niech będzie zbezczeszczona, niech nasze oko patrzy na Syjon.
12 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.
One jednak nie znają myśli PANA ani nie rozumieją jego rady. On bowiem je zgromadzi jak snopy na klepisku.
13 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.”
Wstań i młóć, córko Syjonu, bo twój róg uczynię z żelaza i twoje kopyta uczynię ze spiżu, i zmiażdżysz wiele narodów. Poświęcę PANU ich łupy i ich bogactwo Panu całej ziemi.
