Micah 5
1 Now you will give yourselves deep wounds for grief; they will put up a wall round us: they will give the judge of Israel a blow on the face with a rod.
Thagathaga mbũtũ ciaku cia mbaara, wee itũũra inene rĩa mbũtũ cia mbaara, nĩgũkorwo matũrigiicĩirie matũũkĩrĩre. Nĩmakaringa mwathi wa Isiraeli rũthĩa-inĩ na rũthanju.
2 And you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, the least among the families of Judah, out of you one will come to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose going out has been purposed from time past, from the eternal days.
“No rĩrĩ, wee Bethilehemu Efiratha, o na harĩa arĩ we mũnini mũno mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ ya Juda, thĩinĩ waku nĩkuo gũkoima ũrĩa ũgaatuĩka mwathi wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa kĩhumo gĩake nĩ gĩa kuuma tene, kuuma mĩndĩ na mĩndĩ.”
3 For this cause he will give them up till the time when she who is with child has given birth: then the rest of his brothers will come back to the children of Israel.
Tondũ ũcio, Isiraeli nĩagatiganĩrio nginya ihinda rĩkinye, rĩrĩa ũrĩa ũraarũmwo agaaciara, nao ariũ-a-ithe arĩa angĩ magaacookerera andũ a Isiraeli.
4 And he will take his place and give food to his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the glory of the name of the Lord his God; and their resting-place will be safe: for now he will be great to the ends of the earth.
Nĩagookĩra arĩithie rũũru rwa mbũri ciake arĩ na hinya wa Jehova, na ũnene wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wake. Nao nĩmagatũũra marĩ agitĩre, nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ĩyo ũnene wake ũgaakinya o nginya ituri ciothe cia thĩ.
5 And this will be our peace: when the Assyrian comes into our country and his feet are in our land, then we will put up against him seven keepers of the flocks and eight chiefs among men.
Nake nĩagatuĩka thayũ wao. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ashuri makaahithũkĩra bũrũri witũ, na matuĩkanĩrie ciĩhitho ciitũ nũmu, nĩtũkamaarahũrĩra arĩithi mũgwanja, o na anene anana mamokĩrĩre.
6 And they will make waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the edge of the sword: he will give us salvation from the Assyrian when he comes into our country, when his feet come inside the limit of our land.
Nĩmagaatha bũrũri wa Ashuri na rũhiũ rwa njora; maathe bũrũri wa Nimurodi na hiũ cia njora icomoretwo. Nĩagatũhonokia kuuma kũrĩ Aashuri hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magaatharĩkĩra bũrũri witũ na matuĩkanĩirie mĩhaka-inĩ iitũ.
7 And the rest of Jacob will be among the mass of peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which may not be kept back by man, or be waiting for the sons of men.
Matigari ma Jakubu magaatuĩka ta ime riumĩte harĩ Jehova gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, o na ta mbura ya rũthuthuũ yurĩte nyeki-inĩ, ĩrĩa ĩtarehagwo nĩ mũndũ kana ĩkoirio nĩ andũ.
8 And the rest of Jacob will be among the nations, in the middle of the mass of peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the woods, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep: if he goes through, they will be crushed under foot and pulled to bits, and there will be no saviour.
Matigari ma Jakubu magaakoragwo gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, o gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, ta mũrũũthi ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyamũ cia mũtitũ, na ta kĩana kĩa mũrũũthi kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa ndũũru cia ngʼondu, kĩrĩa gĩthiiaga gĩgĩcitihangagia na gĩgĩcitambuuraga na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩcihonokia.
9 Your hand is lifted up against those who are against you, and all your haters will be cut off.
Guoko gwaku nĩgũkambarario na igũrũ kuonanie ũhootani harĩ thũ ciaku, na amuku aku othe nĩmakaniinwo.
10 And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that I will take away your horses from you, and will give your war-carriages to destruction:
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, “nĩngananga mbarathi ciaku ikweherere biũ, nacio ngaari ciaku cia ita ndĩcitharie.
11 I will have the towns of your land cut off and all your strong places pulled down:
Nĩngananga matũũra marĩa manene ma bũrũri wanyu, na tharũrie ciĩhitho iria nũmu cianyu ciothe.
12 I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:
Nĩngananga ũgo wanyu, na mũtigacooka kũragũra rĩngĩ.
13 And I will have your images and your pillars cut off from you; and you will no longer give worship to the work of your hands.
Nĩngananga mĩhianano yanyu ya gwacũhio, na nyanange mahiga manyu marĩa maamũre mũrĩ namo; mũtigacooka kũinamĩrĩra wĩra wa moko manyu rĩngĩ.
14 I will have your Asherahs pulled up from among you: and I will send destruction on your images.
Itugĩ cia Ashera iria mũrĩ nacio nĩngacimunya na momore matũũra manyu manene.
15 And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.
Nĩngerĩhĩria ndĩ na marakara na mangʼũrĩ kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ iria itanjathĩkagĩra.”
