미가 4

1말일에 이르러는 여호와의 전의 산이 산들의 꼭대기에 굳게 서며 작은 산들 위에 뛰어나고 민족들이 그리로 몰려갈 것이라 2곧 많은 이방이 가며 이르기를 오라 우리가 여호와의 산에 올라가서 야곱의 하나님의 전에 이르자 그가 그 도로 우리에게 가르치실 것이라 우리가 그 길로 행하리라 하리니 이는 율법이 시온에서부터 나올 것이요 여호와의 말씀이 예루살렘에서부터 나올 것임이라 3그가 많은 민족 중에 심판하시며 먼 곳 강한 이방을 판결하시리니 무리가 그 칼을 쳐서 보습을 만들고 창을 쳐서 낫을 만들 것이며 이 나라와 저 나라가 다시는 칼을 들고 서로 치지 아니하며 다시는 전쟁을 연습하지 아니하고 4각 사람이 자기 포도나무 아래와 자기 무화과나무 아래 앉을 것이라 그들을 두렵게 할 자가 없으리니 이는 만군의 여호와의 입이 이같이 말씀하셨음이니라 5만민이 각각 자기의 신의 이름을 빙자하여 행하되 오직 우리는 우리 하나님 여호와의 이름을 빙자하여 영원히 행하리로다 6여호와께서 말씀하시되 그 날에는 내가 저는 자를 모으며 쫓겨난 자와 내가 환난 받게한 자를 모아 7그 저는 자로 남은 백성이 되게 하며 멀리 쫓겨났던 자로 강한 나라가 되게 하고 나 여호와가 시온 산에서 이제부터 영원까지 그들을 치리하리라 하셨나니 8너 양떼의 망대요 딸 시온의 산이여 이전 권능 곧 딸 예루살렘의 나라가 네게로 돌아오리라 9이제 네가 어찌하여 부르짖느냐 너희 중에 왕이 없어졌고 네 모사가 죽었으므로 네가 해산하는 여인처럼 고통함이냐 10딸 시온이여 해산하는 여인처럼 애써 구로하여 낳을지어다 이제 네가 성읍에서 나가서 들에 거하며 또 바벨론까지 이르러 거기 구원을 얻으리니 여호와께서 거기서 너를 너의 원수들의 손에서 속량하여 내시리라 11이제 많은 이방이 모여서 너를 쳐 이르기를 시온이 더럽게 되며 그것을 우리 눈으로 바라보기를 원하노라 하거니와 12그들이 여호와의 뜻을 알지 못하며 그 모략을 깨닫지 못한 것이라 여호와께서 곡식단을 타작마당에 모음 같이 그들을 모으셨나니 13딸 시온이여 일어나서 칠지어다 내가 네 뿔을 철 같게 하며 네 굽을 놋 같게 하리니 네가 여러 백성을 쳐서 깨뜨릴 것이라 내가 그들의 탈취물을 구별하여 여호와께 드리며 그들의 재물을 온 땅의 대주재께 돌리리라

1But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of Yahweh’s temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it. 2Many nations will go and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go out of Zion, and Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem; 3and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more. 4But they will sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and no one will make them afraid: For the mouth of Yahweh of Armies has spoken. 5Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God forever and ever. 6“In that day,” says Yahweh, “I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted; 7and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever.” 8You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, yes, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem. 9Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pains have taken hold of you as of a woman in travail? 10Be in pain, and labor to give birth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There Yahweh will redeem you from the hand of your enemies. 11Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, “Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion.” 12But they don’t know the thoughts of Yahweh, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor. 13Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass; and you will beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain to Yahweh, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.

1Maar in het laatste der dagen zal het geschieden, dat de berg van het huis des HEEREN zal vastgesteld zijn op den top der bergen; en hij zal verheven zijn boven de heuvelen, en de volken zullen tot hem toevloeien. 2En vele heidenen zullen henengaan, en zeggen: Komt en laat ons opgaan tot den berg des HEEREN, en ten huize van den God Jakobs, opdat Hij ons lere van Zijn wegen, en wij in Zijn paden wandelen; want uit Sion zal de wet uitgaan, en des HEEREN woord uit Jeruzalem. 3En Hij zal onder grote volken richten, en machtige heidenen straffen, tot verre toe; en zij zullen hun zwaarden slaan tot spaden, en hun spiesen tot sikkelen; het ene volk zal tegen het andere volk geen zwaard opheffen, en zij zullen den krijg niet meer leren. 4Maar zij zullen zitten, een ieder onder zijn wijnstok, en onder zijn vijgeboom, en er zal niemand zijn, die ze verschrikke; want de mond des HEEREN der heirscharen heeft het gesproken. 5Want alle volken zullen wandelen, elk in den naam zijns gods; maar wij zullen wandelen in den Naam des HEEREN, onzes Gods, eeuwiglijk en altoos. 6Te dien dage, spreekt de HEERE, zal Ik haar, die hinkende was, verzamelen, en haar, die verdreven was, vergaderen, en die Ik geplaagd had. 7En Ik zal haar, die hinkende was, maken tot een overblijfsel, en haar die verre henen verstoten was, tot een machtig volk; en de HEERE zal Koning over hen zijn op den berg Sions, van nu aan tot in eeuwigheid. 8En gij Schaapstoren, gij Ofel der dochter Sions! tot u zal komen, ja, daar zal komen de vorige heerschappij, het koninkrijk der dochteren van Jeruzalem. 9Nu, waarom zoudt gij zo groot geschrei maken? Is er geen Koning onder u? Is uw Raadgever vergaan, dat u smart, als van een barende vrouw, heeft aangegrepen? 10Lijd smart en arbeid om voort te brengen, o dochter Sions! als een barende vrouw; want nu zult gij wel uit de stad henen uitgaan, en op het veld wonen, en tot in Babel komen, maar aldaar zult gij gered worden; aldaar zal u de HEERE verlossen uit de hand uwer vijanden. 11Nu zijn wel vele heidenen tegen u verzameld, die daar zeggen: Laat ze ontheiligd worden, en laat ons oog schouwen aan Sion. 12Maar zij weten de gedachten des HEEREN niet, en verstaan Zijn raadslag niet; dat Hij hen vergaderd heeft als garven tot den dorsvloer. 13Maak u op en dors, o dochter Sions! Want Ik zal uw hoorn ijzer maken, en uw klauwen koper maken, en gij zult vele volken verpletteren; en Ik zal hunlieder gewin den HEERE verbannen, en hun vermogen den Heere der ganse aarde.
