Micah 5
1 Gather your troops together, Jerusalem! An enemy is besieging us. They will strike Israel's leader on the cheek with a rod.
Mifanontona am-pirimboñañe, ry anak’ ampelam-pirimboñañeo fa vinandro’ iareo tika; nilafàe’ iareo an-kobaiñe ty fiambina’ i Mpizaka’ Israeley.
2 But from you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, (though you are only a small place in Judah), will come a ruler of Israel to do my will. His existence is from the ages of eternity past.
Fa ihe ry Betlekheme Efràtae, ty loho kede añivo’ o arivo lahi’ Iehodao; boak’ ama’o ty hionjoñe ho ahy, ty ho mpifehe’ Israele, ie haehae añe o fionjona’eo, faha-tsietoimoneñe añe.
3 So the Lord will give up on them until the woman in labor has given birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the people of Israel.
Aa le hatolo’e añe iereo ampara’ te nahatoly anake i mitsongoy, himpoly amy zao ty sehanga’ o longo’eo mb’amo ana’ Israeleo mb’eo.
4 He will stand up and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. They will live in safety because his greatness is recognized all over the world.
Hiongake re, le hampiandraze’e ami’ty haozara’ Iehovà, ami’ty volonahe’ i Tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ey; hiaiñ’ añoleñañe iereo, amy t’ie ho ra’elahy pak’añ’olo’ ty tane toy henane zay.
5 He will be our source of peace when the Assyrians invade our land and destroy our fortresses. Then we will appoint many strong leaders,
Ie ty ho fañanintsin-tika, naho maname ty tanen-tika o nte-Asoreo, handialia o anjomban-tikañeo, le hampitroaren-tika ama’e ty mpiarake fito, naho ty mpiaolo valo boak’ am’ondatio.
6 and they will rule Assyria with their swords, the land of Nimrod with drawn swords. He shall rescue us from the Assyrians when they invade our land, marching across our borders.
Harahe’ iereo am-pibara ty tane Asore, naho ty tane’ i Nimrode amo lalambei’eo naho havotso’e amo nte-Asoreo tika, ie mivotrak’ an-tanen-tika ao, mandialia añate’ o efe-tanen-tikañeo.
7 Then those who are left of the people of Jacob shall be in the center of many nations, like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which wait for no one, and which no one can delay.
Ho añivo’ o kilakila’ondatio añe ty sehanga’ Iakobe, hoe zono boak’ am’ Iehovà, hoe oran-joba amo ahetseo, tsy nitamà’ ondaty, tsy niliñisa’ o ana’ondatio.
8 Those who are left of the people of Jacob shall be among many nations, in the center of many peoples. They will be like a lion among the wild animals of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, clawing and tearing as it passes through, with no one to come to the rescue.
Ho am-po’ o fifeheañeo ty sehanga’ Iakobe añivo’ o kilakila’ ondatio ao, hanahake ty liona añ’ate’ o bibin-alao, naho ty ana-diona añivo’ o añondry lia-raikeo ao, ie miranga ro mandialia naho mandrimidrimitse vaho tsy eo ty handrombake.
9 Lift your hand in triumph against your enemies; all of them will be destroyed.
Honjoneñe ambone’ o rafelahi’oo ty fità’o, vaho haitoañe iaby o malaiñ’ Azoo.
10 On that day, says the Lord, I will kill your horses and break your chariots.
Ie amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, te hapitsoko añivo’o ao o soavala’oo, vaho ho rotsaheko o sarete’oo.
11 I will tear down your city walls and demolish your fortresses.
Haitoako ka o rova’ i taneio, vaho fonga hahotrako ambane o kijoly fatratseo;
12 I will stop the witchcraft you practice; there will be no more fortune-tellers for you.
Haitoako am-pità’o ze atao famorehañe; ihe tsy ho amam-pisikily ka;
13 I will smash down the idols and stone pillars that stand among you: you shall not bow down and worship idols that you make with your own hands any more.
Ho firaeko o hatae sinoki’oo, naho o vato mitroatse añivo’o aoo, soa tsy hitalahoa’o ka o satam-pità’oo.
14 I will pull up the Asherah poles that you have and destroy your pagan places.
Hombotako boak’ añivo’o ao ka o samposampo’oo; vaho ho rotsaheko o rova’oo.
15 In anger and fury I will execute vengeance on those nations that do not obey me.
Le hondrohako amo kilakila’ ondatio ty vale-fate an-kabosehañe, naho am-piforoforoañe amo tsy nañaoñeo.
