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.
Kuŋŋaanya amaggye go, ggwe ekibuga ekirina amaggye, kubanga tulumbiddwa. Omukulembeze wa Isirayiri balimukuba omuggo ku luba.
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.
“Naye ggwe Besirekemu Efulasa, newaakubadde ng’oli mutono mu bika bya Yuda, mu ggwe mwe muliva alibeera omufuzi wange mu Isirayiri. Oyo yaliwo okuva edda n’edda, ng’ensi tennabaawo.”
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.
Mukama kyaliva awaayo Isirayiri eri abalabe baayo okutuusa omukyala alumwa okuzaala lwalizaala omwana, era baganda be abaasigalawo ne balyoka bakomawo eri bannaabwe mu Isirayiri.
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.
Aliyimirira n’anyweera n’aliisa ekisibo kye mu maanyi ga Mukama, mu kitiibwa ky’erinnya lya Mukama Katonda we. Era abantu be tebalibaako abateganya, kubanga aliba mukulu okutuusa ku nkomerero y’ensi.
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.
Omukulu oyo aliba mirembe gyabwe. Omwasuli bw’alirumba ensi yaffe n’abuna ebigo byaffe, tulimuyimbulira abasumba musanvu, n’abakulembeze munaana.
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.
Abo be balifuga ensi ya Asuli n’ekitala era ensi ya Nimuloodi nayo bagyonoone. Naye alitulokola eri Omwasuli bw’alitulumba mu nsi yaffe era bw’aliyingira mu nsalo zaffe.
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.
Abantu ba Isirayiri abalisigalawo balibeera wakati mu mawanga agabeetoolodde, babe ng’omusulo oguva eri Mukama, ng’obukubakuba obutonnyeredde ku muddo obutalindirira muntu oba abaana b’abantu.
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.
Ng’empologoma bw’ebeera n’ensolo endala ez’omu nsiko, abantu abaasigalawo aba Yakobo balibeera mu mawanga mangi agabeetoolodde; ate era ng’empologoma ento mu bisibo by’endiga, bw’egenda n’eyitamu n’etaagulataagula ne wataba n’omu aziwonya.
9 Let thy hand be lifted up above thine adversaries, and let all thine enemies be cut off.
Omukono gwo guliwangula abalabe bo, ne bonna abakuyigganya balizikirizibwa.
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,
“Ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “Ndizikiriza embalaasi zo ne nsanyaawo n’amagaali go.
11 and I will cut off the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strongholds.
Ndizikiriza ebibuga eby’omu nsi yo era mmenyemenye n’ebigo byo byonna.
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy hand, and thou shall have no more soothsayers.
Obulogo bwo ndibumalawo era toliddayo kukolima nate.
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.
N’ebibumbe bye musinza ndibizikiriza. Ne nziggyawo n’amayinja ge mwawonga; temuliddayo nate kuvuunamira bakatonda be mwekoledde n’emikono gyammwe.
14 And I will pluck up thine Asherim out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities.
Era ndisigula Baasera okuva mu mmwe, ebibuga byammwe n’embizikiriza.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that did not hearken.
Era ndyesasuza ku mawanga agataŋŋondedde n’obusungu n’ekiruyi.”
