< 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.
Nou menm, moun lavil Jerizalèm, sanble moun nou yo! Mete yon lame sou pye! Men yo sènen lavil la toupatou. Y'ap leve men yo sou chèf pèp Izrayèl la. Y'ap ba li baton, y'ap souflete l'.
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.
Seyè a di ankò: Men ou menm, lavil Betleyèm, Efrata, ou se yonn nan pi piti nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo, se vre! Men, se nan mitan ou m'ap fè soti pou mwen yon chèf pou pèp Izrayèl la, yon chèf k'ap soti nan yon fanmi ki la depi lontan lontan.
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.
Se konsa, Seyè a ap lage pèp li a nan men lènmi li yo jouk lè fi ki pou fè pitit la va gen yon pitit gason. Lè sa a, rès pèp Izrayèl yo te depòte a va tounen pou mete tèt ansanm ak pèp la.
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.
Lè chèf sa a va vini, l'a gouvènen pèp li a avèk fòs Seyè a ap ba li a, avèk pouvwa k'ap mande respè paske l'ap gouvènen nan non Seyè a, Bondye li a. Pèp la va viv ak kè poze, paske moun toupatou sou latè va rekonèt jan li gen pouvwa.
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.
L'a fè tout moun viv byen yonn ak lòt. Lè moun peyi Lasiri yo va anvayi peyi nou an, lè y'a pwonmennen mache nan tout peyi a, n'a voye sèt chèf, n'a voye wit menm al konbat yo.
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.
Y'a goumen, y'a pran peyi moun Lasiri yo nan men yo. Avèk nepe yo, y'a pran peyi Nenmwòd la nan men li. Y'a delivre nou anba men moun Lasiri yo, lè y'a anvayi peyi a, lè y'a antre sou fwontyè nou yo.
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.
Lè sa a, rès moun ki vivan toujou nan pèp la va tankou lawouze Bondye voye. Y'a viv nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Y'a tankou lapli k'ap tonbe sou jaden k'ap pouse, paske yo pa mete espwa yo nan moun men nan Bondye.
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.
Rès moun pèp Izrayèl yo va viv nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, nan mitan anpil lòt nasyon. Y'a tankou yon lyon nan mitan bèt nan bwa, osinon yon jenn ti lyon nan mitan bann mouton. Y'ap pase nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Y'ap kraze yo anba pye yo, y'ap dechikete yo. Pesonn p'ap ka delivre moun anba men yo.
9 Your hand is lifted up against those who are against you, and all your haters will be cut off.
Izrayèl va leve kont lènmi li yo, l'a disparèt yo nèt.
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:
Seyè a di ankò: Jou sa a, m'ap touye tout chwal batay nou yo. M'a detwi tout cha nou yo.
11 I will have the towns of your land cut off and all your strong places pulled down:
M'ap detwi tout lavil nou bati nan peyi a, m'ap kraze tout fò ak tout ranpa nou yo.
12 I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:
M'a wete tout wanga nan peyi a. Nou p'ap jwenn moun ki pou bat kat pou nou ankò.
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.
M'ap detwi tout estati ak tout moniman nou te moute pou zidòl yo. Nou p'ap gen lide adore bagay nou fè ak men nou ankò.
14 I will have your Asherahs pulled up from among you: and I will send destruction on your images.
M'ap derasinen tout pyebwa repozwa nan peyi a. M'ap detwi tout lavil nou yo.
15 And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.
Lè sa a, m'ap fache, m'ap fè gwo kòlè, m'ap pran revanj mwen sou tout nasyon ki pa t' obeyi m' yo.
