Micha 4
BasisBijbel
In de toekomst zal iedereen leven zoals de Heer het wil
4 Micha zegt: Maar aan het eind van de tijd zal de berg met de tempel van de Heer zo stevig staan als de hoogste bergen. Hij zal hoger zijn dan de heuvels. De volken zullen er van alle kanten naartoe komen. 2 Landen en volken zullen erheen gaan en zeggen: "Kom, laten we naar de berg van de Heer gaan, naar de tempel van de God van Jakob. Dan zal Hij ons leren hoe we moeten leven. Dan zullen we leren leven zoals Hij het wil." Want vanuit Jeruzalem zal de wet geleerd worden. Het woord van de Heer zal uit Jeruzalem komen. 3 Hij zal rechtspreken tussen machtige volken en verre landen. Ze zullen hun zwaarden omsmeden tot ploegijzers en hun speren omsmeden tot snoeimessen. Geen volk zal nog een ander volk aanvallen. Ze zullen niet meer leren oorlogvoeren. 4 Alle mensen zullen in vrede in hun eigen huis kunnen wonen. Niemand zal hun kwaad doen. Dit is wat de Heer Zelf zegt, en Hij zal het ook doen. 5 Want alle volken leven nu nog op de manier die hun goden van hen vragen, maar wíj zullen dan voor altijd leven op de manier die onze Heer God van ons vraagt.
Jeruzalem zal weer een machtige stad worden
6 De Heer zegt: In die tijd zal Ik de mensen die zwak zijn, weer verzamelen. De mensen die Ik voor straf naar andere landen heb gejaagd, zal Ik weer bij elkaar brengen. 7 Dat zwakke groepje mensen dat van mijn volk is overgebleven, zal Ik weer tot een volk maken. Mijn volk dat helemaal uit elkaar gejaagd was, zal weer een machtig volk worden. En Ik zal hun Koning zijn op de berg Sion, voor eeuwig. 8 En aan jou, Schaapstoren en Ofel[a] van de stad Jeruzalem, zal het koningschap teruggegeven worden. Het vroegere koningschap komt terug binnen je muren.
9 Waarom schreeuwen jullie nu zo hard? Hebben jullie dan geen koning? Is jullie raadgever gedood, dat jullie het uitschreeuwen? 10 Schreeuwen jullie maar! Krimp maar in elkaar van ellende, bewoners van Jeruzalem! Maar jullie zullen je stad verlaten en het open veld ingaan. Jullie zullen naar Babel trekken. Daar zullen jullie worden bevrijd. Daar zal de Heer jullie redden van je vijanden. 11 Nu vallen vele machtige volken jullie aan. Ze hebben zich verzameld en zeggen: "We zullen Jeruzalem veroveren! Jeruzalem zal van ons zijn!" 12 Maar zij kennen de plannen van de Heer niet. Ze weten niet wat Ik ga doen. Ze weten niet dat Ik hen verzamel, zoals je de bossen graan verzamelt om er de graankorrels uit te gaan kloppen. 13 Kom nu hier, bewoners van Jeruzalem! Ik zal jullie sterk maken. Jullie zullen de volken uitkloppen als graan. Alles wat ze geroofd hebben, zal voor de Heer zijn. Alles wat ze bezitten, zal zijn voor de Heer van de hele aarde.
14 Micha zegt: Zet je legers maar klaar, jij oorlogzuchtige stad! De vijand staat klaar om ons aan te vallen. Ze hebben een belegeringswal tegen ons opgeworpen. Ze zullen de leider van Israël met een stok in zijn gezicht slaan.

The Mountain of the Lord
4 It shall come to pass (A)in the latter days
that the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and it shall be lifted up above the hills;
and peoples shall flow to it,
2 and many nations shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,[a]
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
3 He shall judge between many peoples,
and shall decide disputes for strong nations far away;
and they shall (B)beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore;
4 (C)but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree,
(D)and no one shall make them afraid,
(E)for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
5 For (F)all the peoples walk
each in the name of its god,
but (G)we will walk in the name of the Lord our God
forever and ever.
The Lord Shall Rescue Zion
6 (H)In that day, declares the Lord,
(I)I will assemble the (J)lame
and gather those who have been driven away
and those whom I have afflicted;
7 and the lame I will make (K)the remnant,
and those who were cast off, a strong nation;
and (L)the Lord will reign over them (M)in Mount Zion
from this time forth and forevermore.
8 And you, O tower of the flock,
hill of the daughter of Zion,
to you shall it come,
the former dominion shall come,
kingship for the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Now why do you cry aloud?
(N)Is there no king in you?
(O)Has your counselor perished,
that (P)pain seized you like a woman in labor?
10 (Q)Writhe and groan,[b] O daughter of Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for (R)now you shall go out from the city
and dwell in the open country;
you (S)shall go to Babylon.
There you shall be rescued;
(T)there the Lord will redeem you
from the hand of your enemies.
11 Now (U)many nations
are assembled against you,
saying, “Let her be defiled,
and (V)let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”
12 But (W)they do not know
the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,
that (X)he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 Arise and thresh,
O daughter of Zion,
for I will make your horn iron,
and I will make your hoofs bronze;
you shall beat in pieces many peoples;
and (Y)shall devote[c] (Z)their gain to the Lord,
their wealth to (AA)the Lord of the whole earth.

4 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared in the top of mountains, and high above the hills: and people shall flow to it.
2 And many nations shall come in haste, and say: Come, 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 out of Sion, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into spades: nation shall not take sword against nation: neither shall they learn war any more.
4 And every man shall sit under his vine, and under his fig tree, and there shall be none to make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken.
5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god: but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
6 In that day, saith the Lord, I will gather up her that halteth: and her that I had cast out, I will gather up: and her whom I had afflicted.
7 And I will make her that halted, a remnant: and her that hath been afflicted, a mighty nation: and the Lord will reign over them in mount Sion, from this time now and for ever.
8 And thou, O cloudy tower of the flock, of the daughter of Sion, unto thee shall it come: yea the first power shall come, the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Now, why art thou drawn together with grief? Hast thou no king in thee, or is thy counsellor perished, because sorrow hath taken thee as a woman in labour?
10 Be in pain and labour, O daughter of Sion, as a woman that bringeth forth: for now shalt thou go out of the city, and shalt dwell in the country, and shalt come even to Babylon, there thou shalt be delivered: there the Lord will redeem thee out of the hand of thy enemies.
11 And now many nations are gathered together against thee, and they say: Let her be stoned: and let our eye look upon Sion.
12 But they have not known the thoughts of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: because he hath gathered them together as the hay of the floor.
13 Arise, and tread, O daughter of Sion: for I will make thy horn iron, and thy hoofs I will make brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples, and shalt immolate the spoils of them to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of the whole earth.

The Mountain of the Lord(A)
4 In the last days
the mountain(B) of the Lord’s temple will be established
as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,(C)
and peoples will stream to it.(D)
2 Many nations will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,(E)
to the temple of the God of Jacob.(F)
He will teach us(G) his ways,(H)
so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law(I) will go out from Zion,
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
3 He will judge between many peoples
and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide.(J)
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.(K)
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war(L) anymore.(M)
4 Everyone will sit under their own vine
and under their own fig tree,(N)
and no one will make them afraid,(O)
for the Lord Almighty has spoken.(P)
5 All the nations may walk
in the name of their gods,(Q)
but we will walk in the name of the Lord
our God for ever and ever.(R)
The Lord’s Plan
6 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“I will gather the lame;(S)
I will assemble the exiles(T)
and those I have brought to grief.(U)
7 I will make the lame my remnant,(V)
those driven away a strong nation.(W)
The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion(X)
from that day and forever.(Y)
8 As for you, watchtower of the flock,
stronghold[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former dominion will be restored(Z) to you;
kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.(AA)”
9 Why do you now cry aloud—
have you no king[b](AB)?
Has your ruler[c] perished,
that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?(AC)
10 Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for now you must leave the city
to camp in the open field.
You will go to Babylon;(AD)
there you will be rescued.
There the Lord will redeem(AE) you
out of the hand of your enemies.
11 But now many nations
are gathered against you.
They say, “Let her be defiled,
let our eyes gloat(AF) over Zion!”
12 But they do not know
the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,(AG)
that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Rise and thresh,(AH) Daughter Zion,
for I will give you horns of iron;
I will give you hooves of bronze,
and you will break to pieces many nations.”(AI)
You will devote their ill-gotten gains to the Lord,(AJ)
their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
