Micah, 4

1. And this shall be: In the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared at the top of the mountains and high above the hills. And the people will flow to it.

1. Dogodit æe se na kraju danÄa: Gora Doma Jahvina bit æe postavljena vrh svih gora, uzvišena iznad svih bregova.

2. And many nations will hurry, and will say: “Come, let us ascend to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

2. K njoj æe se stjecat svi narodi, nagrnut æe mnoga plemena i reæi: "Hajde, uziðimo na goru Jahvinu, u Dom Boga Jakovljeva! On æe nas nauèit' svojim putovima, i hodit æemo stazama njegovim. Jer æe sa Siona Zakon izaæi, rijeè Jahvina iz Jeruzalema."

3. And he will judge among the many peoples, and he will correct strong nations, even from afar. And they will cut up their swords into plows, and their spears into hoes. Nation will not take up the sword against nation, and they will no longer learn to wage war.

3. On æe upravljati mnogim puèanstvima i bit æe sudac moænim narodima. Svoje æe maèeve prekovati u ralice, a svoja koplja u radne srpove. Narod na narod neæe maèa dizati niti æe se više za rat vježbati.

4. And a man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one to fear, for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.

4. Svaki æe mirno živjeti pod lozom vinovom, pod smokvom svojom, i nitko ga neæe plašiti. To rekoše usta Jahve nad Vojskama.

5. For all people will walk, each one in the name of his god. But we will walk in the name of the Lord our God, forever and ever.

5. Jer svi narodi idu, svaki u ime boga svojega, a mi, mi idemo u imenu Jahve, Boga našega, uvijek i dovijeka.

6. In that day, says the Lord, I will gather together the lame. And I will recover her whom I had rejected, and her whom I had afflicted.

6. "U onaj dan - rijeè je Jahvina - sabrat æu hrome, okupiti raspršene i sve kojima sam zlo uèinio.

7. And I will place the lame within the remnant, and she who had been in distress, within a healthy people. And the Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion, from the present time and even unto eternity.

7. Od hromih æu Ostatak uèiniti, moæan narod od onih što su izgnani." Tada æe Jahve nad njima kraljevati na gori Sionu od sada i dovijeka.

8. And you, cloudy tower of the flock of the daughter of Zion, even to you it will come. And the first power will arrive, the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.

8. I ti Kulo stadÄa, Ofele Kæeri sionske, opet æe se tebi vratiti prijašnja vlast, kraljevstvo Kæeri jeruzalemske.

9. Now, why have you come together in grief? Is there not a king in you, or has your counselor gone away? For sorrow has overtaken you, like the pain of giving birth.

9. Zašto sada kukaš kuknjavom? Nema li kralja u tebi? Zar su savjetnici tvoji propali da te obuzimlju bolovi kao porodilju?

10. Be grieved and overwhelmed, daughter of Zion, like a woman giving birth. For now you must depart from the city and dwell in the countryside, and you will approach even to Babylon. There you will be delivered. There the Lord will redeem you from the hand of your adversaries.

10. Savijaj se od boli i krièi, Kæeri sionska, kao žena koja poraða, jer æeš sada iz grada iziæi i stanovati na polju. Do Babilona ti æeš otiæi, ondje æeš se osloboditi, ondje æe te Jahve otkupiti iz šaka tvojih dušmana.

11. And now many peoples have been gathered together against you, and they say, “Let her be stoned and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”

11. A sada se mnogi narodi protivu tebe sabraše. Oni govore: "Neka se obešèasti, neka se naše oèi nasite Siona!"

12. But they have not known the thoughts of the Lord, and they have not understood his counsel. For he has gathered them together like hay on a threshing floor.

12. Ali zamisli Jahvine oni ne znaju i ne razumiju namjere njegove: kao snoplje na gumnu on ih je sabrao.

13. Rise and thresh, daughter of Zion. For I will set your horn like iron, and I will set your hoofs like brass. And you will shatter many peoples, and you will immolate their spoils for the Lord, and their strength for the Lord of the whole earth.

13. Ustani! Ovrši žito, Kæeri sionska, jer ti pravim gvozden rog i mjedena kopita. I satrt æeš mnoge narode; zavjetovat æeš Jahvi blago njihovo i bogatstvo njihovo Gospodaru sve zemlje.

14.

14. Utvrdi se sada, Tvrðavo! Opkoljeni smo i opsjednuti, palicom po licu udaraju Suca Izraelova.
