ويَكونُ في آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ بَيتِ الرَّبّ يُوَطَّدُ في رَأسِ الجِبال ويَرتَفِعُ فَوقَ التِّلال وتَجْري إِلَيه الشُّعوب

ويَنْطَلِقُ أُمَمٌ كثيرونَ ويَقولون: هٰلُمُّوا نَصعَدْ إِلى جَبَلِ الرَّبّ وبَيتِ إِلٰهِ يَعْقوب وهو يُعَلِّمُنا طُرُقَه فنَسيرُ في سُبُلِه لِأَنَّها مِن صِهْيونَ تَخرُجُ الشَّريعة ومِن أُورَشَليمَ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبّ

ويَحكُمُ بَينَ الشُّعوبِ الكَثيرين ويَقْضي لِلأُمَمِ الأَقوِياءِ حتَّى في البَعيد فيَضرِبونَ سُيوفَهم سِكَكًا ورِماحَهم مَناجِل فلا تَرفَعُ أُمَّةٌ على أُمَّةٍ سَيفًا ولا يَتَعَلَّمونَ الحَربَ مِن بَعدُ

ويُقيمُ كُلُّ واحِدٍ تَحتَ كَرمَتِه وتَحتَ تينَتِه ولا أَحَدَ يُقلِقُه لِأَنَّ فَمَ رَبِّ القُوَّاتِ قد تَكَلَّم

فإِنَّ جَميعَ الشُّعوبِ يَسيرون كُلُّ واحِدٍ بِٱسمِ إِلٰهِه أَمَّا نَحنُ فنَسيرُ بِٱسمِ الرَّبِّ إِلٰهِنا دائِمًا أَبَدًا

في ذٰلك اليَومِ، يقولُ الرَّبّ أَجمَعُ العَرْجاءَ وأَضُمُّ الضَّالَّة والَّتي أَسأتُ مُعامَلَتَها

وأَجعَلُ مِنَ العَرْجاءِ بَقِيَّة ومِنَ المُقْصاةِ أُمَّةً قَوِيَّة فيَملِكُ الرَّبُّ علَيهم في جَبَلِ صِهْيون مِن الآنَ ولِلأَبَد

وأَنتِ يا بُرجَ القَطيع يا عوفَلَ بِنتِ صِهْيون إِلَيكِ يأتي ويَعود السُّلطانُ الأَوَّل، مُلكُ بِنتِ أُورَشَليم

فلماذا تَصرُخينَ الآنَ صُراخًا أَلَيسَ فيكِ مَلِك؟ أَهَلَكَ مُشيرُكِ حَتَّى أَخَذَكِ المَخاضُ كالَّتي تَلِد؟

تَمَخَّضي وٱدفَعي يا بِنتَ صِهْيونَ كالَّتي تَلِد فإِنَّكِ الآنَ تَخرُجينَ مِنَ المَدينة وتَسكُنينَ في الحُقول وتَسيرينَ إِلى بابِل. هُناكَ تُنقَذينَ وهُناكَ يَفتَديكِ الرَّبّ مِن أَيدي أَعْدائِكِ

والآنَ فَقَدِ ٱجتَمَعَ علَيكِ أُمَمٌ كَثيرونَ يَقولون: لِتُدَنَّسْ ولْتَتَمَتَّعْ عُيونُنا بِصِهْيون

لٰكِنَّهم لم يَعرِفوا أَفْكارَ الرَّبّ ولا فَهِموا قَصدَه فإِنَّه قد جَمَعَهم كالحُزَمِ على البَيدَر

قومي فَدوسي يا بِنتَ صِهْيون فإِنِّي أَجعَلُ قَرنَكِ حَديدًا وأَظلافَكِ نُحاسًا فتَسحَقينَ شُعوبًا كثيرين وتُحَرِّمينَ لِلرَّبِّ مَكاسِبَهم ولِسَيِّدِ الأَرضِ كُلِّها ثَروَتَهم

خَدِّشي الآنَ نَفسَكِ يا بِنتَ العِصابة لقد أَلْقى علَينا الحِصار فهُم يَضرِبونَ بالقَضيب على خَدِّ قاضي إِسْرائيل

But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of the LORD’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.

Many nations will go and say, “Come! Let’s 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 will go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem;

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.

But every man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid, for the mouth of the LORD of Armies has spoken.

Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.

“In that day,” says the LORD, “I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;

and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever.”

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.

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?

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 the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.

Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, “Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion.”

But they don’t know the thoughts of the LORD, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.

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 the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
