< Micah 5 >

1 Now shalt thou be laid waste, O daughter of the robber: they have laid siege against us, with a rod shall they strike the cheek of the judge of Israel.
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 THOU, BETHLEHEM Ephrata, art a little one among the thousands of Juda: out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be the ruler in Israel: and his going forth is from the beginning, from the days of eternity.
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 Therefore will he give them up even till the time wherein she that travaileth shall bring forth: and the remnant of his brethren shall be converted 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 shall stand, and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the height of the name of the Lord his God: and they shall be converted, for now shall he be magnified even 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 man shall be our peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall set his foot in our houses: and we shall raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal 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 shall feed the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nemrod with the spears thereof: and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our borders.
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 remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as a dew from the Lord, and as drops upon the grass, which waiteth not for man, nor tarrieth for the children 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 remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples as a lion among the beasts of the forests, and as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who when he shall go through and tread down, and take, there is none to deliver.
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 Thy hand shall be lifted up over thy enemies, and all thy enemies shall be cut off.
Izrayèl va leve kont lènmi li yo, l'a disparèt yo nèt.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I will take away thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots.
Seyè a di ankò: Jou sa a, m'ap touye tout chwal batay nou yo. M'a detwi tout cha nou yo.
11 And I will destroy the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strong holds,
M'ap detwi tout lavil nou bati nan peyi a, m'ap kraze tout fò ak tout ranpa nou yo.
12 and I will take away sorceries out of thy hand, and there shall be no divinations in thee.
M'a wete tout wanga nan peyi a. Nou p'ap jwenn moun ki pou bat kat pou nou ankò.
13 And I will destroy thy graven things, and thy statues out of the midst of thee: and thou shalt no more adore the works of thy 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 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: and will crush thy cities.
M'ap derasinen tout pyebwa repozwa nan peyi a. M'ap detwi tout lavil nou yo.
15 And I will execute vengeance in wrath and in indignation among all the nations that have not given ear.
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.
