Mika 5
1 Chokuru jokedo mau, yaye dala maduongʼ mar jokedo, nikech wasikwa osegonwa agengʼa. Gibiro goyo lemb ruodh jo-Israel gi luth.
Yet now gather yourselves in troops, O people of troops! They lay siege against us; With a rod they smite the cheek of the judge of Israel.
2 “To in Bethlehem Efratha, kata obedo ni itin e dier dhout Juda, kuomi ema ngʼat manobedna jatend Israel nowuogie, ngʼat machakruok mare noa chon, kinde machon gi lala.”
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, Who art small to be among the thousands of Judah, Out of thee shall he come forth for me to be ruler in Israel, Whose origin is from the ancient age, from the days of old!
3 Kuom mano Israel ibiro jwangʼ nyaka kinde ma dhako man-gi ich nonywolie nyathi, kendo owetene mamoko nodwogi mi riwre gi jo-Israel.
But He [[Jehovah]] shall deliver them up, Until she that bringeth forth hath brought forth; Then shall the residue of his brethren return to the children of Israel.
4 Enochungʼ mi okwa rombe gi teko mar Jehova Nyasaye, ka en gi duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache. Joge nodag maonge luoro nikech duongʼne nochop e tunge piny,
He shall stand and rule in the strength of Jehovah, In the majesty of Jehovah, his God; And they shall dwell in security, For he shall be great even to the ends of the earth.
5 kendo en owuon ema nobed kwe margi. Ka jo-Asuria omonjo pinywa, kendo ka ginyono kuondewa mochiel motegno, to wabiro yiero jokwath abiriyo mondo oked kodgi; adier jotendwa aboro norad kodgi.
And he shall be peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, To trample upon our palaces, Then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, And eight leaders of the people,
6 Gibiro loyo piny jo-Asuria gi ligangla, piny jo-Nimrod ibiro loyo gi ligangla mowuodhi. Noresgi e lwet jo-Asuria ka nomonj pinywa, kendo ka nochopi e tongʼwa.
And they shall devour the land of Assyria with the sword, The land of Nimrod within her gates. Thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, And treadeth in our borders.
7 Joka Jakobo modongʼ nobed e dier ogendini mangʼeny, mana ka thoo moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye kata ka ngʼidho ma omoko e lum, malal apoya nono ne dhano bende ok nyal rito dhano.
The residue of Jacob shall be in the midst of many nations As the dew which cometh from Jehovah, As drops of rain upon the grass, Which tarrieth not for man, Nor waiteth for the sons of men.
8 Joka Jakobo modongʼ nobed e dier ogendini, ginibed e dier ji mayoreyore, mana ka sibuor e dier le mag bungu, kata ka sibuor matin e dier rombe, makidho kendo nyulo kokadho, maonge ngʼama nyalo resogi.
The residue of Jacob shall be among the nations, In the midst of many kingdoms, As a lion among the beasts of the forest, As a young lion among flocks of sheep, Who, when he assaulteth, treadeth down and teareth, and none can deliver.
9 Notingʼ lweti malo kiseloyo wasiki, kendo joma kedo kodi duto notieki.
Thy hand shall be lifted up over thine adversaries, And all thine enemies shall be destroyed!
10 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “E odiechiengno anaketh fareseu kendo nabanj gecheu mag lweny.
It shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, That I will destroy thy horses from the midst of thee, And I will consume thy chariots;
11 Anaketh mier madongo manie pinyu mochiel motegno kendo anamuk ohingau.
I will destroy the fortified cities of thy land, And throw down all thy strongholds;
12 Abiro tieko timbeu mag jwok ma ok unuchak ugo gagi kendo.
I will destroy sorceries from thy borders, And soothsayers shall not be with thee.
13 Abiro ketho kido mopa mau kod kite mulamo manie dieru. Ok unuchak ukulru piny ne gik ma lwetu oloso.
I will destroy thy graven images and thy statues from the midst of thee, And thou shalt no more bow down to the work of thine hands;
14 Abiro muko sirni mag nyasachu ma Ashera mi agol kuomu kendo abiro ketho miechu madongo chuth.
I will root out thy Astartes from the midst of thee, And I will destroy thy fortified cities;
15 Anachul kuor gi mirima kod gero kuom ogendini ma osedagi luora.”
And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury Upon the nations which have not hearkened to me.
