Micah 4
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1But in the end of days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established as the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it.
1Ka ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui, ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae moʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻe hakeakiʻi ia ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi tafungofunga; pea ʻe tafe atu ki ai ʻae kakai.
2And many nations shall go and say: 'Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, 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 out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
2Pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi mo nau pehē, “Haʻu ke tau ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ʻo Sihova, pea ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope; pea te ne akonakiʻi ʻakitautolu ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea te tau ʻeveʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala.” He ko e fono ʻe ʻalu atu mei Saione, mo e folofola ʻa Sihova mei Selūsalema.
3And He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide concerning mighty nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
3Pea te ne fakamaau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi kakai, mo valokiʻi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mālohi ʻoku mamaʻo atu; pea te nau tuki ʻenau ngaahi heletā, ko e ngaahi huo toho, pea mo ʻenau ngaahi tao, ko e ngaahi hele ʻauhani: ʻe ʻikai hiki ʻe ha puleʻanga ʻae heletā ki ha puleʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe ako ki he tau.
4But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken.
4Ka te nau nofo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi he malumalu ʻo hono vaine, mo e malumalu ʻo hono fiki; pea ʻe ʻikai ha niʻihi ke fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu: he ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau kuo ne folofola ai.
5For let all the peoples walk each one in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
5He ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻe ʻeveʻeva taki taha ʻi he hingoa ʻo hono ʻOtua, pea te mau ʻeveʻeva ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ko homau ʻOtua ʻo lauikuonga mo taʻengata.
6In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven away, and her that I have afflicted;
6ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he ʻaho ko ia, te u tānaki ʻaia naʻe lotolotoua, pea te u fakataha ʻaia naʻe kapusi kituʻa, pea mo ia kuo u fakamamahi;
7And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a mighty nation; and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from thenceforth even for ever.
7Pea te u ngaohi ia ko e toenga ʻaia naʻe lotolotoua, pea ko e puleʻanga mālohi ʻaia naʻe siʻaki ki he mamaʻo: pea ʻe pule ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione, ʻo ngata mei heni, ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata.”
8And thou, Migdal-eder, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come; yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
8Pea ko koe, ʻe fale leʻo ʻo Iteli, ko e potu mālohi ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione, ʻe hoko kiate koe, ʻio, ʻae ʻuluaki pule: ʻe hoko ʻae puleʻanga ki he ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema.
9Now why dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no King in thee, is thy Counsellor perished, that pangs have taken hold of thee as of a woman in travail?
9Ko eni, ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi kalanga ai? ʻOku ʻikai ha tuʻi kiate koe? Kuo ʻauha hoʻo tangata ako fono? He ko e mamahi kuo ne maʻu koe, ʻo hangē ha fefine langā.
10Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Babylon; there shalt thou be rescued; there shall the LORD redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
10ʻIo, te ke mamahi, pea ke feinga ke fāʻeleʻi, ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Saione, ʻo hangē ha fefine ʻoku langā: he ko eni, te ke toki ʻalu atu ʻi he kolo, pea te ke nofo ʻi he ngoue, pea te ke ʻalu, ʻio, ki Papilone; ʻe fakahaofi koe ʻi ai; ʻe huhuʻi koe ʻi ai ʻe Sihova, mei he nima ʻo ho ngaahi fili.
11And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say: 'Let her be defiled, and let our eye gaze upon Zion.'
11Kuo fakataha ni foki ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kiate koe, ʻaia ʻoku nau pehē, “Ke fakaʻuliʻi ia, pea ke sio hotau mata ki Saione.”
12But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they His counsel; for He hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor.
12Ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi fakakaukau ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau poto ʻi heʻene ngaahi filioʻi: he te ne tānaki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ū koane ki he feleoko.
13Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples; and thou shalt devote their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
13Tuʻu, pea ke haha, ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Saione: he te u ngaohi ho nifo, ko e ukamea, mo ho ngeesivaʻe, ko e palasa; pea te ke laiki ʻae ngaahi kakai tokolahi: pea te u fakatapui ki he ʻOtua, ʻenau koloa tupu, mo ʻenau koloa, kia Sihova ʻo māmani kotoa pē.
