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.
Kuŋŋaanya amaggye go, ggwe ekibuga ekirina amaggye, kubanga tulumbiddwa. Omukulembeze wa Isirayiri balimukuba omuggo ku luba.
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.
“Naye ggwe Besirekemu Efulasa, newaakubadde ng’oli mutono mu bika bya Yuda, mu ggwe mwe muliva alibeera omufuzi wange mu Isirayiri. Oyo yaliwo okuva edda n’edda, ng’ensi tennabaawo.”
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.
Mukama kyaliva awaayo Isirayiri eri abalabe baayo okutuusa omukyala alumwa okuzaala lwalizaala omwana, era baganda be abaasigalawo ne balyoka bakomawo eri bannaabwe mu Isirayiri.
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.
Aliyimirira n’anyweera n’aliisa ekisibo kye mu maanyi ga Mukama, mu kitiibwa ky’erinnya lya Mukama Katonda we. Era abantu be tebalibaako abateganya, kubanga aliba mukulu okutuusa ku nkomerero y’ensi.
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.
Omukulu oyo aliba mirembe gyabwe. Omwasuli bw’alirumba ensi yaffe n’abuna ebigo byaffe, tulimuyimbulira abasumba musanvu, n’abakulembeze munaana.
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.
Abo be balifuga ensi ya Asuli n’ekitala era ensi ya Nimuloodi nayo bagyonoone. Naye alitulokola eri Omwasuli bw’alitulumba mu nsi yaffe era bw’aliyingira mu nsalo zaffe.
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.
Abantu ba Isirayiri abalisigalawo balibeera wakati mu mawanga agabeetoolodde, babe ng’omusulo oguva eri Mukama, ng’obukubakuba obutonnyeredde ku muddo obutalindirira muntu oba abaana b’abantu.
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.
Ng’empologoma bw’ebeera n’ensolo endala ez’omu nsiko, abantu abaasigalawo aba Yakobo balibeera mu mawanga mangi agabeetoolodde; ate era ng’empologoma ento mu bisibo by’endiga, bw’egenda n’eyitamu n’etaagulataagula ne wataba n’omu aziwonya.
9 Thy hand shall be lifted up over thy enemies, and all thy enemies shall be cut off.
Omukono gwo guliwangula abalabe bo, ne bonna abakuyigganya balizikirizibwa.
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.
“Ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “Ndizikiriza embalaasi zo ne nsanyaawo n’amagaali go.
11 And I will destroy the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strong holds,
Ndizikiriza ebibuga eby’omu nsi yo era mmenyemenye n’ebigo byo byonna.
12 and I will take away sorceries out of thy hand, and there shall be no divinations in thee.
Obulogo bwo ndibumalawo era toliddayo kukolima nate.
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.
N’ebibumbe bye musinza ndibizikiriza. Ne nziggyawo n’amayinja ge mwawonga; temuliddayo nate kuvuunamira bakatonda be mwekoledde n’emikono gyammwe.
14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: and will crush thy cities.
Era ndisigula Baasera okuva mu mmwe, ebibuga byammwe n’embizikiriza.
15 And I will execute vengeance in wrath and in indignation among all the nations that have not given ear.
Era ndyesasuza ku mawanga agataŋŋondedde n’obusungu n’ekiruyi.”
