Micah 4:1-13
4 Lo last part blo olketa day,*Datfala maunten wea haos blo Jehovah stap lo hemBae hem barava stap strong, and hae ovam top blo olketa maunten,And bae hem kamap hae ovam olketa hill,And olketa pipol bae hipap go lo hem.
2 And staka nation bae go and sei:
“Kam, iumi go ap lo maunten blo JehovahAnd lo datfala haos blo God blo Jacob.
Hem bae teachim iumi olketa wei blo hem,And iumi bae wakabaot followim road blo hem.”
Bikos law* bae go aot from Zion,And toktok blo Jehovah bae go aot from Jerusalem.
3 Hem bae givim judgment midolwan staka pipolAnd stretem evri samting for helpem olketa maeti nation wea stap farawe.
Olketa bae hamarem sword blo olketa for kamap olketa houAnd spia blo olketa for kamap olketa naef for pruning.
Nation bae no iusim sword for againstim nara nation,Olketa bae no enitaem lanem moa hao for faet.
4 Olketa bae sidaon,* each wan andanit lo vine blo grape blo hem and andanit lo fig tree blo hem,And no eniwan bae mekem olketa fraet,Bikos Jehovah, komanda blo olketa army,* hem talem diswan finis.
5 Evri pipol bae wakabaot, each wan lo nem blo god blo olketa,Bat iumi bae wakabaot lo nem blo Jehovah, God blo iumi for olowe nao.
6 “Lo datfala day,” diswan nao wanem Jehovah talem,“Mi bae hipimap pipol wea no wakabaot gud,And hipimap tugeta pipol wea go stap lo nara ples,Witim tu olketa wea mi treatim nogud.
7 Bae mi mekem pipol wea no wakabaot gud for kamap wanfala smol sekson,And pipol wea bin go stap farawe for kamap wanfala maeti nation.And Jehovah bae king ovarem olketa lo Maunt Zion,Start distaem and for olowe.
8 And iu, taoa blo olketa sheepsheep,Datfala hill blo dota blo Zion,Hem bae kam lo iu, yes, firstfala rul bae kam,Datfala kingdom wea hem blo dota blo Jerusalem.
9 So why nao iu singaot big tumas?
Hao, iu no garem king,Or man wea advaesem iu hem dae finis,Dastawe pain wea kasem iu hem olsem woman wea bornem pikinini?
10 O dota blo Zion, rola olobaot and krae,Olsem woman wea bornem pikinini,Bikos distaem bae iu go aot from datfala taon and stap lo open ples.
Iu bae go kasem Babylon,And lo there nao bae olketa sevem iu.Lo there nao bae Jehovah baem iu bak from hand blo olketa enemy blo iu.
11 Staka nation bae hipap for againstim iu.Bae olketa sei, ‘Letem olketa spoelem hem,And eye blo iumi bae lukim samting hia wea kasem Zion.’
12 Bat olketa no savve lo tingting blo Jehovah,Olketa no minim gud plan* blo hem,Bikos hem bae hipimap olketa olsem bandol blo wheat wea olketa just katem, for tekem go lo ples for aotem grain from skin blo hem.
13 O dota blo Zion, getap and hamarem wheat,Bikos bae mi changem olketa horn blo iu for hem iron,And bae mi changem olketa hoof blo iu for hem copper,And iu bae smasem staka pipol.
Iu bae givim go lo Jehovah profit wea olketa kasem from olketa ravem pipol,And olketa gud samting wea olketa garem go lo tru Lord blo full earth.”
