Micah 4 (WEBP)

[1] But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of Yahweh’s temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it.
[2] Many nations will go and say, “Come! Let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh, 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 will go out of Zion, and Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem;
[3] and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more.
[4] But every man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid, for the mouth of Yahweh of Armies has spoken.
[5] Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God forever and ever.
[6] “In that day,” says Yahweh, “I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;
[7] and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever.”
[8] You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come. Yes, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
[9] Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pains have taken hold of you as of a woman in travail?
[10] Be in pain, and labor to give birth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There Yahweh will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
[11] Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, “Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion.”
[12] But they don’t know the thoughts of Yahweh, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.
[13] Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze. You will beat in pieces many peoples. I will devote their gain to Yahweh, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.

Micah 4 (BYZ)

[1] και εσται επ εσχατων των ημερων εμφανες το ορος του κυριου ετοιμον επι τας κορυφας των ορεων και μετεωρισθησεται υπερανω των βουνων και σπευσουσιν προς αυτο λαοι
[2] και πορευσονται εθνη πολλα και ερουσιν δευτε αναβωμεν εις το ορος κυριου και εις τον οικον του θεου ιακωβ και δειξουσιν ημιν την οδον αυτου και πορευσομεθα εν ταις τριβοις αυτου οτι εκ σιων εξελευσεται νομος και λογος κυριου εξ ιερουσαλημ
[3] και κρινει ανα μεσον λαων πολλων και εξελεγξει εθνη ισχυρα εως εις γην μακραν και κατακοψουσιν τας ρομφαιας αυτων εις αροτρα και τα δορατα αυτων εις δρεπανα και ουκετι μη ανταρη εθνος επ εθνος ρομφαιαν και ουκετι μη μαθωσιν πολεμειν
[4] και αναπαυσεται εκαστος υποκατω αμπελου αυτου και εκαστος υποκατω συκης αυτου και ουκ εσται ο εκφοβων διοτι το στομα κυριου παντοκρατορος ελαλησεν ταυτα
[5] οτι παντες οι λαοι πορευσονται εκαστος την οδον αυτου ημεις δε πορευσομεθα εν ονοματι κυριου θεου ημων εις τον αιωνα και επεκεινα
[6] εν τη ημερα εκεινη λεγει κυριος συναξω την συντετριμμενην και την εξωσμενην εισδεξομαι και ους απωσαμην
[7] και θησομαι την συντετριμμενην εις υπολειμμα και την απωσμενην εις εθνος ισχυρον και βασιλευσει κυριος επ αυτους εν ορει σιων απο του νυν και εως εις τον αιωνα
[8] και συ πυργος ποιμνιου αυχμωδης θυγατερ σιων επι σε ηξει και εισελευσεται η αρχη η πρωτη βασιλεια εκ βαβυλωνος τη θυγατρι ιερουσαλημ
[9] και νυν ινα τι εγνως κακα μη βασιλευς ουκ ην σοι η η βουλη σου απωλετο οτι κατεκρατησαν σου ωδινες ως τικτουσης
[10] ωδινε και ανδριζου και εγγιζε θυγατερ σιων ως τικτουσα διοτι νυν εξελευση εκ πολεως και κατασκηνωσεις εν πεδιω και ηξεις εως βαβυλωνος εκειθεν ρυσεται σε και εκειθεν λυτρωσεται σε κυριος ο θεος σου εκ χειρος εχθρων σου
[11] και νυν επισυνηχθη επι σε εθνη πολλα οι λεγοντες επιχαρουμεθα και εποψονται επι σιων οι οφθαλμοι ημων
[12] αυτοι δε ουκ εγνωσαν τον λογισμον κυριου και ου συνηκαν την βουλην αυτου οτι συνηγαγεν αυτους ως δραγματα αλωνος
[13] αναστηθι και αλοα αυτους θυγατερ σιων οτι τα κερατα σου θησομαι σιδηρα και τας οπλας σου θησομαι χαλκας και κατατηξεις εν αυτοις εθνη και λεπτυνεις λαους πολλους και αναθησεις τω κυριω το πληθος αυτων και την ισχυν αυτων τω κυριω πασης της γης
