Micah 5
1 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops; he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Ugbu a doo ndị agha gị nʼusoro, gị obodo nke usuu ndị agha, nʼihi na e jirila mgbidi gbaa gị gburugburu ibuso gị agha. Ha ga-eji mkpara tie onyendu Izrel na nti.
2 (And thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall he come forth unto me [who is] to be Ruler in Israel: whose goings forth are from of old, from the days of eternity.)
“Ma gị onwe gị, Betlehem Efrata, ọ bụ ezie na ị bụ obodo dị nta nʼetiti ndị ikwu Juda niile, ma onye ahụ ga-achị Izrel ga-esi na gị pụta, bụ onye ahụ mmalite ya sitere na mgbe ochie, sitekwa na mgbe ebighị ebi gara aga.”
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time when she which travaileth shall have brought forth: and the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
Ya mere, a ga-arara ha nye tutu ruo mgbe onye ahụ ime na-eme mụpụtara nwa ya. Mgbe ahụ, ụmụnna ya niile ahụ fọdụrụ ga-alọghachikwuru ndị Izrel.
4 And he shall stand and feed [his flock] in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God. And they shall abide; for now shall he be great even unto the ends of the earth.
Ọ ga-eguzo zụọ igwe ewu na atụrụ ya, site nʼike nke Onyenwe anyị, na site nʼịdị ukwuu nke aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya. Ndị ya ga-anọkwa na-enweghị nsogbu, nʼihi na ịdị ukwuu ya ga-eru na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa.
5 And this [man] shall be Peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight princes of men.
Ọ ga-abụkwa udo anyị. Mgbe ndị Asịrịa ga-abata nʼala anyị nʼike, sikwa nʼebe niile e wusiri ike nke anyị na-agafe, anyị ga-ahọpụta ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ asaa, ọ bụladị ndịisi asatọ.
6 And they shall waste the land of Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof; and he shall deliver [us] from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
Onye ga-eji mma agha chịa ala Asịrịa, jirikwa mma agha a mịpụtara amịpụta chịa ala Nimrọd. Ọ ga-anapụta anyị site nʼaka ndị Asịrịa ahụ, mgbe ha ga-eji ike bata nʼala anyị, ma zọrọkwa ije gafee oke ala anyị.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, neither waiteth for the sons of men.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị fọdụrụ afọdụ nke Jekọb ga-adị nʼetiti ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ, dịka igirigi si nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ abịa, maọbụ dịka mmiri ozuzo ntakịrị na-ezokwasị ahịhịa, nke na-adịghị ele anya mmadụ maọbụ chere ụmụ mmadụ.
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 go through, treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
Ndị fọdụrụ afọdụ nke Jekọb ga-adịkwa nʼetiti ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ dị ka ọdụm nʼetiti anụ ọhịa niile dị iche iche, e, dịka nwa ọdụm nʼetiti igwe atụrụ, nke na-azọda na-adọkasị mgbe ọ na-agabiga, ma o nweghị onye ga-anapụta ya.
9 Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
Aka gị ga-adị elu na mmeri nke ndị iro ya, a ghakwaghị ịla ndị iro gị niile nʼiyi.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots.
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ kwa,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “Aga m ala ịnyịnya unu nʼiyi site nʼetiti unu, kụjisiekwa ụgbọala unu niile.
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and overthrow all thy strongholds.
Aga m ala obodo niile dị nʼala unu nʼiyi, dọdasịakwa ebe unu niile e wusiri ike.
12 And I will cut off sorceries out of thy hand; and thou shalt have no soothsayers.
Aga m ala mgbaasị unu nʼiyi, unu agaghị enwekwa ndị na-ajụ mmụọ ọjọọ ase.
13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy statues out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more bow down to the work of thy hands.
Aga m ala arụsị a pịrị apị unu niile nʼiyi, ya na nkume nsọ ahụ niile dị nʼetiti unu. Unu agakwaghị akpọ isiala nye ihe unu ji aka unu kpụọ.
14 And I will pluck up thine Asherahs out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities.
Aga m ehopu ogidi arụsị niile nke dị nʼetiti unu, mgbe m ga-akụdasị obodo unu niile
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury upon the nations, such as they have not heard of.
Aga m esite nʼoke iwe m na ọnụma m bọọrọ onwe m ọbọ nʼahụ mba niile ndị ahụ jụrụ irubere m isi.”
