Mika 4

¹Asi namazuva okupedzisira gomo reimba yaJehovha richagadzwa pamisoro yamakomo, richakwiridzwa kumusoro kwezvikomo; marudzi avanhu achamhanyira kwariri.But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

²Marudzi mazhinji achaenda, achiti, `Uyai, hendei kugomo raJehovha nokuimba yaMwari waJakobho; iye achatidzidzisa nzira dzake, uye isu tichafamba namakwara ake. Nokuti paZiyoni ndipo pachabuda murayiro, napaJerusaremu shoko raJehovha.'And many nations shall come, and say, Come, 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 the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

³Iye achatonga pakati pamarudzi mazhinji, acharuramisira marudzi ane simba ari kure; vachapfura minondo yavo vachiiita mapadza, namapfumo avo vachiaita mapanga okuchekerera miti, rudzi rumwe harungazosimudziri rumwe rudzi munondo, havangazodzidzi kurwa.And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

⁴Asi mumwe nomumwe achagara pasi pomuzambiringa wake napasi pomuonde wake, hakuna angazovatyisa, nokuti muromo waJehovha wehondo wakataura izvozvo.But 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 it.

⁵Nokuti marudzi ose avanhu anofamba, rumwe norumwe nezita ramwari warwo; asi isu tichafamba nezita raJehovha Mwari wedu nokusingaperi-peri.For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

⁶Nezuva iro ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha ndichaunganidza vanokamhina, ndichaunganidza vakadzingwa, navakatambudzwa neni;In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;

⁷vaikamhina ndichavaita vakasara, uye vakanga vakarashirwa kure ndichavaita rudzi rwakasimba; Jehovha achavabata ushe pagomo reZiyoni kubva zvino nokusingaperi.And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.

⁸Zvino iwe, rutura rwamakwai, iwe chikomo chomukunda weZiyoni, zvichasvika kwauri, zvirokwazvo ushe hwokutanga huchasvika, ihwo ushe hwomukunda weJerusaremu.And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.

⁹Zvino munodanidzireiko? Hakuna mambo pakati penyu here, gota renyu raparara here, zvamabatwa nokurwadziwa sokwomukadzi anosurumuka?Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.

¹⁰Chirwadziwa, utambure nokusurumuka, uchandogara kusango, uchandosvika Bhabhironi; ipapo uchandorwirwa, Jehovha uchakudzikinurapo pamaoko avavengi vako.Be 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 thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

¹¹Zvino marudzi mazhinji avanhu akakuunganira, anoti, `Ngaasvibiswe, meso edu ngaaone Ziyoni.'Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

¹²Asi havazivi zvinofungwa naJehovha, havanzwisisi zvaakatema; nokuti wakavaunganidza semwanda paburiro.But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

¹³Simuka upure, iwe mukunda weZiyoni, nokuti runyanga rwako ndicharuita dare, uye mahwanda ako ndichaaita ndarira; uchaputsanya marudzi mazhinji; zvavakazviwanira ndichazvitsaurira Jehovha, fuma yavo ndichapa Ishe wenyika yose.Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
