< Micah 5 >

1 Now, O daughter of troops, mobilize your troops; for a siege is laid against us! With a rod they will strike the cheek of the judge of Israel.
Ita, agsaganakayo a makigubat, dakayo a tattao ti Jerusalem. Adda pader a naipalawlaw iti siudadyo, ngem pang-urendanto ti sarukod ti pingping ti mangidadaulo ti Israel.
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come forth for Me One to be ruler over Israel — One whose origins are of old, from the days of eternity.
Ngem sika, Betlehem Efrata, uray no sika ti kababassitan kadagiti puli ti Juda, maysanto kadakayo ti umay kaniak a mangituray iti Israel, a nagtaud ti kaputonanna ket idi ugma manipud iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana.
3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned until she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of His brothers will return to the children of Israel.
Ngarud, iyawatto isuda ti Dios, agingga iti tiempo nga agpasngay ti agpaspasikal, ket agsubli dagiti dadduma a kakabsatna kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
4 He will stand and shepherd His flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majestic name of the LORD His God. And they will dwell securely, for then His greatness will extend to the ends of the earth.
Agtakderto isuna ken ipastorna iti arbanna iti bileg ni Yahweh, iti natan-ok a nagan ni Yahweh a Diosna. Agtalinaeddanto, ta agbalinto isuna a natan-ok agingga iti pungto ti daga.
5 And He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land and tramples our citadels. We will raise against it seven shepherds, even eight leaders of men.
Isunanto ti kappiatayo. Inton umay dagiti Assiriano iti dagatayo, inton lumasatda kadagiti sarikedkedtayo, isabattayo kadakuada dagiti pito nga agpaspastor ken walo a mangidada-ulo kadagiti lallaki.
6 And they will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the blade drawn. So He will deliver us when Assyria invades our land and marches into our borders.
Agturayto dagitoy a lallaki ti daga iti Asiria babaen iti kampilan, ken ti daga ni Nimrod babaen iti kampilan kadagiti imada. Isalakannatayonto manipud kadagiti Asirriano, inton umayda iti dagatayo, inton agmartsada nga umuneg kadagiti beddengtayo.
7 Then the remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, which do not wait for man or linger for mankind.
Maitiponto dagiti tidda ni Jacob kadagiti adu a bunggoy ti tattao, a kasla linnaaw nga aggapu ken Yahweh, a kasla arbis iti karuutan, a saanda nga aguray ti tao, saan a kadagiti tattao.
8 Then the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which tramples and tears as it passes through, with no one to rescue them.
Maitiponto kadagiti nasion dagiti tidda ni Jacob, maitipondanto kadagiti adu a tattao, a kas iti leon a naitipon kadagiti ayup iti kabakiran, a kasla iti ubing a leon a naitipon kadagiti arban ti karnero. Ket inton maitiponda kadakuada, badde-baddeknanto ida ken rangrangkayennanto ida, ket awanto ti siasinoman a mangispal kadakuada.
9 Your hand will be lifted over your foes, and all your enemies will be cut off.
Maitag-ayto ti imam a mangsuppiat kadagiti kabusormo, ket daytanto ti mangdadael kadakuada.
10 “In that day,” declares the LORD, “I will remove your horses from among you and wreck your chariots.
“Ket mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw,” kuna ni Yahweh, “a parmekekto dagiti kabaliom ken rakrakekto dagiti karwahem.
11 I will remove the cities of your land and tear down all your strongholds.
Parmekekto dagiti siudad iti dagam ken rebbaekto dagiti amin a sarikedkedmo.
12 I will cut the sorceries from your hand, and you will have no fortune-tellers.
Dadaelekto ti panangkulkulam iti imam, ket awanton a pulos iti aniaman a mammadles.
13 I will also cut off the carved images and sacred pillars from among you, so that you will no longer bow down to the work of your own hands.
Dadaelekto dagiti kinitikitan a ladawam ken dagiti adigim a bato. Saanmonton a dayawen dagiti aramid dagiti imam.
14 I will root out the Asherah poles from your midst and demolish your cities.
Parutekto dagiti imahe ni Asera iti tengngayo, ken dadaelekto dagiti siudadyo.
15 I will take vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that have not obeyed Me.”
Iti nakaro nga unget ken pungtotko, balsekto dagiti nasion a saan a dimngeg.”
