Michea 4

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Et erit in novissimis diebus: Erit mons domus Domini praeparatus in vertice montium et sublimis super colles; et fluent ad eum populi.	1 And this shall be: In the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared at the top of the mountains and high above the hills. And the people will flow to it.
2 Et properabunt gentes multae et dicent: “ Venite, ascendamus ad montem Domini et ad domum Dei Iacob, et docebit nos de viis suis, et ibimus in semitis eius ”; quia de Sion egredietur lex, et verbum Domini de Ierusalem.	2 And many nations will hurry, and will say: “Come, let us ascend to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
3 Et iudicabit inter populos multos et decernet gentibus fortibus usque in longinquum; et concident gladios suos in vomeres et hastas suas in falces; non sumet gens adversus gentem gladium, et non discent ultra belligerare.	3 And he will judge among the many peoples, and he will correct strong nations, even from afar. And they will cut up their swords into plows, and their spears into hoes. Nation will not take up the sword against nation, and they will no longer learn to wage war.
4 Et sedebit unusquisque subtus vitem suam et subtus ficum suam, et non erit qui deterreat; quia os Domini exercituum locutum est.	4 And a man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one to fear, for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
5 Quia omnes populi ambulabunt unusquisque in nomine dei sui; nos autem ambulabimus in nomine Domini Dei nostri in aeternum et ultra.	5 For all people will walk, each one in the name of his god. But we will walk in the name of the Lord our God, forever and ever.
6 “ In die illa, dicit Dominus, congregabo claudicantem, et eam, quam eieceram, colligam et quam afflixeram;	6 In that day, says the Lord, I will gather together the lame. And I will recover her whom I had rejected, and her whom I had afflicted.
7 et ponam claudicantem in reliquias et eam, quae laboraverat, in gentem robustam ”. Et regnabit Dominus super eos in monte Sion ex hoc nunc et usque in aeternum.	7 And I will place the lame within the remnant, and she who had been in distress, within a healthy people. And the Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion, from the present time and even unto eternity.
8 Et tu, turris gregis, collis filiae Sion, usque ad te veniet et perveniet potestas prima, regnum filiae Ierusalem.	8 And you, cloudy tower of the flock of the daughter of Zion, even to you it will come. And the first power will arrive, the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Nunc quare clamas clamore magno? Numquid rex non est in te, aut consiliarius tuus periit, quia comprehendit te dolor sicut parturientem?	9 Now, why have you come together in grief? Is there not a king in you, or has your counselor gone away? For sorrow has overtaken you, like the pain of giving birth.
10 Dole et satage, filia Sion, quasi parturiens; quia nunc egredieris de civitate et habitabis in campo et venies usque ad Babylonem; ibi liberaberis, ibi redimet te Dominus de manu inimicorum tuorum.	10 Be grieved and overwhelmed, daughter of Zion, like a woman giving birth. For now you must depart from the city and dwell in the countryside, and you will approach even to Babylon. There you will be delivered. There the Lord will redeem you from the hand of your adversaries.
11 Nunc autem congregatae sunt super te gentes multae, quae dicunt: “Profanetur, et aspiciat in Sion oculus noster ”.	11 And now many peoples have been gathered together against you, and they say, “Let her be stoned and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”
12 Ipsi autem non cognoverunt cogitationes Domini et non intellexerunt consilium eius, quia congregavit eos quasi manipulos in area.	12 But they have not known the thoughts of the Lord, and they have not understood his counsel. For he has gathered them together like hay on a threshing floor.
13 Surge et tritura, filia Sion, quia cornu tuum ponam ferreum et ungulas tuas ponam aereas, et comminues populos multos et vovebis Domino rapinas eorum et divitias eorum Domino universae terrae.	13 Rise and thresh, daughter of Zion. For I will set your horn like iron, and I will set your hoofs like brass. And you will shatter many peoples, and you will immolate their spoils for the Lord, and their strength for the Lord of the whole earth.
14 Nunc incide te, filia incisionis! Obsidionem posuerunt super nos; in virga percutiunt maxillam iudicis Israel.
