Micah 4

vehayah be'akharit hayyamim yihyeh har bet-Adonai nakhon berosh heharim venissa hu miggeva'ot venaharu alayw ammim

In the days to come, The Mount of GOD’s House shall stand Firm above the mountains; And it shall tower above the hills. The peoples shall gaze on it with joy,

vehalekhu goyim rabbim ve'ameru lekhu vena'aleh el-har-Adonai ve'el-bet elohe ya'aqov veyorenu midderakhayw venelekhah be'orekhotayw ki mitsiyyon tetse torah udevar-Adonai mirushalai͏m

And the many nations shall go and shall say: “Come, Let us go up to the Mount of GOD, To the House of the God of Jacob; That we may be instructed in God’s ways, And that we may walk in godly paths.” For instruction shall come forth from Zion, The word of GOD from Jerusalem.

veshafat ben ammim rabbim vehokhiakh legoyim atsumim ad-rakhoq vekhittetu kharvotehem le'ittim vakhanitotehem lemazmerot lo-yisu goy el-goy kherev velo-yilmedun od milkhamah

Thus [God] will judge among the many peoples, And arbitrate for the multitude of nations, However distant; And they shall beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not take up Sword against nation; They shall never again know war;

veyashevu ish takhat gafno vetakhat te'enato ve'en makharid ki-fi Adonai tseva'ot dibber

But every family shall sit Under its own vine and fig tree With no one to disturb them. For it was GOD of Hosts who spoke.

ki kol-ha'ammim yelekhu ish beshem elohayw va'anakhnu nelekh beshem-Adonai elohenu le'olam va'ed

Though all the peoples walk Each in the names of its gods, We will walk In the name of the ETERNAL our God Forever and ever.

bayyom hahu ne'um-Adonai osefah hatsole'ah vehanniddakhah aqabbetsah va'asher hare'oti

In that day —declares GOD— I will assemble the lame [sheep] And will gather the outcast And those I have treated harshly;

vesamti et-hatsole'ah lisherit vehannahala'ah legoy atsum umalakh Adonai alehem behar tsiyyon me'attah ve'ad-olam

And I will turn the lame into a remnant And the expelled into a populous nation. And GOD will reign over them on Mount Zion Now and for evermore.

ve'attah migdal-eder ofel bat-tsiyyon adekha teteh uva'ah hammemshalah harishonah mamlekhet levat yerushalai͏m

And you, O Migdal-eder, Outpost of Fair Zion, It shall come to you: The former monarchy shall return— The kingship of Fair Jerusalem.

attah lammah tari'i rea hamelekh en-bakh im-yo'atsekh avad ki-hekheziqekh khil kayyoledah

Now why do you utter such cries? Is there no king in you, Have your advisors perished, That you have been seized by writhing Like a woman in travail?

khuli vagokhi bat-tsiyyon kayyoledah ki-attah tetse'i miqqiryah veshakhant bassadeh uvat ad-bavel sham tinnatseli sham yigalekh Adonai mikkaf oyevayikh

Writhe and scream, Fair Zion, Like a woman in travail! For now you must leave the city And dwell in the country— And you will reach Babylon. There you shall be saved, There GOD will redeem you From the hands of your foes.

ve'attah ne'esfu alayikh goyim rabbim ha'omerim tekhenaf vetakhaz betsiyyon enenu

Indeed, many nations Have assembled against you Who think, “Let our eye Obscenely gaze on Zion.”

vehemmah lo yade'u makhshevot Adonai velo hevinu atsato ki qibbetsam ke'amir gorenah

But they do not know GOD’s design, They do not divine the intent: They have been gathered Like cut grain to the threshing floor.

qumi vadoshi vat-tsiyyon ki-qarnekh asim barzel ufarsotayikh asim nekhushah vahadiqqot ammim rabbim vehakharamti la-Adonai bitsam vekhelam la'adon kol-ha'arets

Up and thresh, Fair Zion! For I will give you horns of iron And provide you with hoofs of bronze, And you will crush the many peoples. You will devote their riches to GOD, Their wealth to the Sovereign of all the earth.

attah titgodedi vat-gedud matsor sam alenu bashevet yakku al-hallekhi et shofet yisra'el

Now you gash yourself in grief. They have laid siege to us; They strike the ruler of Israel On the cheek with a staff.
