Miqueas 4
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Promesas a Sión (4—5)
Afluencia de las naciones a Jerusalén
4 Cuando pase mucho tiempo
el monte de la casa del Señor
quedará afianzado entre los montes,
descollará entre las colinas.
Hacia él confluirán las naciones,
2 acudirán pueblos numerosos que dirán:
“Vengan, subamos al monte del Señor,
a la casa del Dios de Jacob.
Él nos indicará sus caminos
y nosotros iremos por sus sendas.
Y es que de Sión saldrá la ley,
de Jerusalén la palabra del Señor”.
3 Él será juez de pueblos numerosos,
arbitrará a naciones poderosas y lejanas.
Convertirán sus espadas en arados,
harán hoces con sus lanzas.
No se amenazarán las naciones con espadas,
ni se adiestrarán más para la guerra.
4 Reposarán bajo su parra y su higuera
sin que nadie los moleste.
Lo ha dicho el Señor del universo.
5 Otros pueblos caminan en nombre de su dios,
nosotros lo hacemos en nombre del Señor
que es nuestro Dios por siempre jamás.
6 Ese día —oráculo del Señor—
recogeré a las ovejas cojas,
reuniré a las descarriadas
y a las que yo había maltratado.
7 Con las cojas formaré un resto,
con las alejadas una nación poderosa.
Y será el Señor en el monte Sión
su rey ahora y para siempre.
8 En cuanto a ti, torre del rebaño,
colina donde se asienta Jerusalén,
recobrarás el poder de antaño
y la realeza volverá a Jerusalén.
Liberación de Sión
9 Y ahora, ¿a qué vienen esos gritos?
¿Te has quedado sin rey?
¿Ha desaparecido tu consejero
y estás atenazada por el dolor
como mujer en trance de parto?
10 Retuércete de dolor, Jerusalén,
y gime como parturienta, Sión,
porque ahora saldrás de la ciudad
y tendrás que vivir en el campo.
Irás a Babilonia, pero serás liberada;
allí te rescatará el Señor de tus enemigos.
11 Ahora se reúnen contra ti
un sinfín de naciones que dicen:
“Que [Jerusalén] sea profanada
y que nuestros ojos se recreen
contemplando la ruina de Sión”.
12 Pero desconocen los designios del Señor
y no comprenden que los ha reunido
para [trillarlos] como gavillas en la era.
13 ¡Arriba, pues, Jerusalén y tríllalos!
Te armaré con cuernos de hierro,
te daré pezuñas de bronce.
Triturarás a esos pueblos,
consagrarás al Señor su botín
y sus riquezas al dueño de toda la tierra.
14 Pero ahora, hazte incisiones, Jerusalén,
y prepárate para la guerra,
pues nos han puesto asedio
y golpean duramente en la mejilla
a los que gobiernan Israel
Miqueas 4
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Paz a las naciones
4 En el futuro,
el monte donde se encuentra
el templo de nuestro Dios
será el monte más importante.
Allí vendrán muchos pueblos
2 y gente de muchas naciones,
y unos a otros se dirán:
«Subamos al monte de Sión,
al templo del Dios de Israel,
para que él mismo nos enseñe
y obedezcamos sus mandamientos.
»Dios mismo será nuestro maestro
desde el monte de Sión,
¡desde la ciudad de Jerusalén!
3 Dios mismo dictará sentencia
contra naciones y pueblos lejanos,
y ellos convertirán sus espadas
en herramientas de trabajo.
Nunca más nación alguna
volverá a pelear contra otra,
ni se entrenará para la guerra.
4 »Todo el mundo vivirá tranquilo
bajo la sombra de su viña,
o a la sombra de su higuera,
porque así Dios lo ha prometido.
5 ¡Qué importa que otras naciones
adoren a sus propios dioses!
¡Nosotros siempre obedeceremos
a nuestro poderoso Dios!»
Dios salvará a Israel
6-7 Así ha dicho nuestro Dios:
«Mi pueblo parece un rebaño
de ovejas cojas y perdidas,
porque está sufriendo mi castigo.
Pero ya está cerca el día
en que volveré a reunirlo.
Cuando llegue ese día,
con los pocos que hayan quedado
volveré a hacer una gran nación,
y desde mi templo en Jerusalén
reinaré sobre ella para siempre.
8 »Hermoso monte de Sión,
tú has sido una torre protectora
para mi amada Jerusalén;
así que volverás a ser como antes,
¡serás la gran capital de mi pueblo!
9-10 »Tú, Jerusalén,
lloras y te retuerces de dolor,
como si fueras una mujer
a punto de tener un hijo.
Pero no hay razón para que llores;
¡tienes rey y no te faltan consejeros!
Más bien, llora
porque tus habitantes te abandonarán
y vivirán en el campo,
y después serán llevados a Babilonia.
Sin embargo, yo los pondré en libertad;
¡yo mismo los libraré
del poder de sus enemigos!
11 »Muchas naciones se han reunido,
y dicen en contra tuya:
“¡Ojalá podamos ver
la derrota de Jerusalén!”
12 »Pero esas naciones no saben
lo que tengo pensado hacer;
es algo que no pueden entender:
¡voy a juntarlas para hacerlas polvo!
13 »¡Vamos, Jerusalén!
¡Levántate y hazlos pedazos!
Yo te daré la fuerza de un toro,
para que destruyas a muchos pueblos;
¡tus cuernos parecerán de hierro!,
¡tus cascos parecerán de bronce!
Les quitarás todas sus riquezas
y me las entregarás,
pues toda la tierra me pertenece.»
Micah 4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Peace and Security through Obedience
4 In days to come
the mountain of the Lord’s temple
shall be established as the highest of the mountains
and shall be raised up above the hills.
Peoples shall stream to it,(A)
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 instruction,
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.(B)
3 He shall judge between many peoples
and shall arbitrate between strong nations far away;
they shall beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation;
neither shall they learn war any more;(C)
4 but they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees,
and no one shall make them afraid,
for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.(D)
5 For all the peoples walk,
each in the name of its god,
but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God
forever and ever.(E)
Restoration Promised after Exile
6 On that day, says the Lord,
I will assemble the lame
and gather those who have been driven away
and those whom I have afflicted.(F)
7 The lame I will make the remnant,
and those who were cast off, a strong nation,
and the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion
now and forevermore.(G)
8 And you, O tower of the flock,
hill of daughter Zion,
to you it shall come,
the former dominion shall come,
the sovereignty of daughter Jerusalem.(H)
9 Now why do you cry aloud?
Is there no king in you?
Has your counselor perished,
that pangs have seized you like a woman in labor?(I)
10 Writhe and groan,[a] O daughter Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for now you shall go forth from the city
and camp in the open country;
you shall go to Babylon.
There you shall be rescued;
there the Lord will redeem you
from the hands of your enemies.(J)
11 Now many nations
are assembled against you,
saying, “Let her be profaned,
and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”(K)
12 But they do not know
the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,
that he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.(L)
13 Arise and thresh,
O daughter Zion,
for I will make your horn iron
and your hoofs bronze;
you shall beat in pieces many peoples
and shall[b] devote their gain to the Lord,
their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.(M)
Micah 4
New International Version
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.
Micah 4
King James Version
4 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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;
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
10 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.
11 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
12 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.
13 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.
