Micah 5
1 Now thou shall gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Oh engumba oyo elinga bitumba, sangisa basoda na yo, pamba te bazingeli biso! Bakobeta mokambi ya Isalaele fimbu na matama.
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, which are little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee he shall come forth to me who is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
Bongo yo, Beteleemi Efrata, atako ozali moke kati na bingumba ya Yuda, ye oyo akokonza Isalaele akowuta kati na yo. Ebandeli na Ye ezala wuta kala penza, wuta na ebandeli ya tango.
3 Therefore he will give them up until the time that she who travails has brought forth. Then the residue of his brothers shall return to the sons of Israel.
Yango wana, Yawe akosundola Isalaele kino tango mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota akobota, mpe ndambo ya bandeko na ye, oyo bakotikala bakozonga epai ya bandeko na bango, bana ya Isalaele.
4 And he shall stand, and shall feed his flock in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God, and they shall abide. For now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.
Akotelema mpe akobatela bibwele na ye na nguya na Yawe, na lokumu ya Kombo ya Nzambe na ye; mpe bakovanda na kimia, pamba te sango ya lokumu ya kombo na ye ekopanzana mokili mobimba.
5 And this man shall be our peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then we shall raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
Boye, akozala kimia na bango! Tango mampinga ya Asiri bakokota na makasi kati na mokili na biso mpe na bandako na biso, oyo batonga makasi, tokotindela bango babateli sambo ya bibwele mpe bakambi mwambe ya bato mpo na kobundisa bango.
6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances of it. And he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he comes into our land, and when he treads within our border.
Bakokamba mokili ya Asiri mpe ya Nimirodi na mopanga. Boye, akokangola biso na bokonzi ya mampinga ya Asiri tango bakokota na makasi na mabele na biso mpe na bandelo na yango.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarry not for man, nor wait for the sons of men.
Batikali ya Jakobi bakozala, kati na bikolo ebele lokola mamwe oyo ewuti epai na Yawe, mpe na likolo ya matiti lokola londende oyo ekweyaka na makasi ya moto te to mpe etalelaka moto te.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
Batikali ya Jakobi bakozala kati na mabota, na kati-kati ya bikolo ebele, lokola nkosi kati na banyama ya zamba, lokola mwana nkosi kati na etonga ya bameme: tango elekaka kati na etonga ya bameme, ekangaka mpe epasolaka yango, mpe moto oyo akoki kokangola yango azalaka te.
9 Let thy hand be lifted up above thine adversaries, and let all thine enemies be cut off.
Tika ete loboko na yo elonga banguna na yo, mpe bayini na yo nyonso babebisama nye!
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, says Jehovah, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots,
« Na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe, « nakobebisa bashar mpe bampunda ya mokili na yo,
11 and I will cut off the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strongholds.
nakobebisa bingumba ya mokili na yo mpe nakokweyisa bandako na yo, oyo batonga makasi;
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy hand, and thou shall have no more soothsayers.
nakobebisa misala na yo nyonso ya kindoki, mpe okotikala lisusu na bato ya soloka te;
13 And I will cut off thy graven images and thy pillars out of the midst of thee, and thou shall no more worship the work of thy hands.
nakobebisa banzambe ya bikeko oyo ezali kati na yo, mpe okofukamela lisusu te bikeko oyo maboko na yo esilaki kosala;
14 And I will pluck up thine Asherim out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities.
nakobebisa makonzi ya bule ya nzambe Ashera oyo ezali kati na yo mpe nakobebisa bingumba na yo.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that did not hearken.
Na kanda na Ngai ya makasi, nakozongisa mabe na mabe na bikolo oyo etosaki Ngai te. »
