< 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].
Али ће у последња времена бити утврђена гора дома Господњег наврх гора и узвишена изнад хумова, и народи ће се стицати к њој.
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.
И ићи ће многи народи говорећи: Ходите, да идемо на гору Господњу и у дом Бога Јаковљевог, и учиће нас својим путевима и ходићемо Његовим стазама; јер ће из Сиона изаћи закон и реч Господња из Јерусалима.
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.
И судиће међу многим народима, и покараће јаке народе надалеко, и они ће расковати мачеве своје на раонике, и копља своја на српове; неће дизати мача народ на народ, нити ће се више учити рату.
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.
Него ће седети сваки под својом виновом лозом и под смоквом, и неће бити никога да их плаши; јер уста Господа над војскама рекоше.
5 Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
Јер ће сви народи ходити сваки у име бога свог; а ми ћемо ходити у име Господа Бога свог увек и довека.
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.
У то време, говори Господ, сабраћу хроме, и скупићу одагнане и којима зло учиних.
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.
И учинићу од хромих остатак и од одагнаних силан народ; и Господ ће царовати над њима на гори Сиону одсада и довека.
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.
И ти, куло стаду, стено кћери сионској, теби ће доћи, доћи ће прва власт, царство кћери јерусалимске.
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.
Зашто вичеш тако јако? Нема ли цара у теби? Еда ли изгибоше твоји саветници, те те обузеше болови као породиљу?
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.
Мучи се и вичи, кћери сионска, као породиља, јер ћеш изаћи из града и становаћеш у пољу, и отићи ћеш у Вавилон; онде ћеш се ослободити, онде ће те искупити Господ из руку непријатеља твојих.
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]!’
А сада се сабраше на те многи народи говорећи: Да се оскврни, и да се очи наше нагледају Сиона.
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.
Али не знају мисли Господње, нити разумеју намере Његове, јер их је скупио као снопље на гумно.
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.”
Устани и врши, кћери сионска, јер ћу ти начинити рог гвозден, и копита ћу ти начинити бронзана, те ћеш сатрти многе народе, и посветићу Господу благо њихово и имање њихово Господу све земље.
