< 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.
Nísinsin yìí, kó àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun rẹ jọ, ìwọ ìlú ti o ni ọmọ-ogun, nítorí ó ti fi gbógun dó tì wá. Wọn yóò fi ọ̀pá lu àwọn alákòóso Israẹli ní ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́.
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.)
“Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Bẹtilẹhẹmu Efrata, bí ìwọ ti jẹ́ kékeré láàrín àwọn ẹ̀yà Juda, nínú rẹ ni ẹni tí yóò jẹ́ olórí ní Israẹli yóò ti jáde tọ̀ mí wá, ìjáde lọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ láti ìgbà àtijọ́, láti ìgbà láéláé.”
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.
Nítorí náà Israẹli yóò di kíkọ̀sílẹ̀ pátápátá títí di àkókò tí ẹni tí ń rọbí yóò fi bí, àti àwọn ìyókù arákùnrin rẹ̀ yóò fi padà láti darapọ̀ mọ́ àwọn Israẹli.
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.
Òun yóò sì dúró, yóò sì máa ṣe olùṣọ́-àgùntàn àwọn agbo ẹran rẹ̀ ní agbára Olúwa, ní ọláńlá orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀. Wọn yóò sì wà láìléwu, nítorí nísinsin yìí ni títóbi rẹ yóò sì dé òpin ayé.
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.
Òun yóò sì jẹ́ àlàáfíà wọn. Nígbà tí àwọn Asiria bá gbógun sí ilẹ̀ wa tí wọ́n sì ń yan lórí odi alágbára wa, nígbà náà ni a ó gbé olùṣọ́-àgùntàn méje dìde sí i, àti olórí ènìyàn mẹ́jọ.
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.
Wọn yóò sì fi idà pa ilẹ̀ Asiria run, àti ilẹ̀ Nimrodu pẹ̀lú idà tí a fà. Òun yóò sì gbà wá sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Asiria nígbà tí wọn bá gbógun ti ilẹ̀ wa tí wọ́n sì tún yan wọ ẹnu-bodè wa.
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.
Ìyókù Jakọbu yóò sì wà láàrín ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn bí ìrì láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wa, bí ọ̀wààrà òjò lórí koríko, tí kò gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ènìyàn tàbí kò dúró de àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn.
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.
Ìyókù Jakọbu yóò sì wà láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà ní àárín àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, bí i kìnnìún láàrín àwọn ẹranko inú igbó, bí i ọmọ kìnnìún láàrín agbo àgùntàn, èyí tí ó máa ń fà á ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ, tí ó sì máa ń tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀, tí kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tí ó lè gbà á là.
9 Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
A ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè ní ìṣẹ́gun lórí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ sì ni a ó parun.
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.
“Ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Èmi yóò pa àwọn ẹṣin rẹ̀ run kúrò láàrín rẹ èmi yóò sì pa àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun rẹ̀ run.
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and overthrow all thy strongholds.
Èmi yóò sì pa ilẹ̀ ìlú ńlá rẹ̀ run, èmi ó sì fa gbogbo ibi gíga rẹ̀ ya.
12 And I will cut off sorceries out of thy hand; and thou shalt have no soothsayers.
Èmi yóò gé ìwà àjẹ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, ìwọ kì yóò sì ní aláfọ̀ṣẹ mọ́.
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.
Èmi yóò pa àwọn ère fínfín rẹ̀ run, àti ọwọ̀n rẹ̀ kúrò láàrín rẹ̀; ìwọ kì yóò sì le è foríbalẹ̀ fún iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ mọ́.
14 And I will pluck up thine Asherahs out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities.
Èmi yóò fa ère Aṣerah tu kúrò láàrín rẹ̀, èmi yóò sì pa ìlú ńlá rẹ̀ run.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury upon the nations, such as they have not heard of.
Èmi yóò gbẹ̀san ní ìbínú àti ìrunú lórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò ti tẹríba fún mi.”
