Micah 5
1 Nowe assemble thy garisons, O daughter of garisons: he hath layed siege against vs: they shall smite the iudge of Israel with a rod vpon the cheeke.
O aʋawɔlawo ƒe du. Ƒo wò aʋawɔlawo nu ƒu elabena futɔwo ɖe to ɖe mí. Woatsɔ ati aƒo tome na Israel ƒe dziɖula.
2 And thou Beth-leem Ephrathah art litle to bee among the thousandes of Iudah, yet out of thee shall he come forth vnto me, that shalbe the ruler in Israel: whose goings forth haue bene from the beginning and from euerlasting.
“Ke wò, Betlehem, Efrata, togbɔ be èle sue le Yuda ƒe ƒomeawo dome hã la, mewòe ame si le nye dukɔ Israel kplɔ ge la ado tso nam. Ame si ƒe dzɔtsoƒe metsɔ o elabena eli tso keke blema ke.”
3 Therefore will he giue them vp, vntill the time that shee which shall beare, shall trauaile: then the remnant of their brethren shall returne vnto the children of Israel.
Mawu aɖe asi le Israel ŋuti na eƒe futɔwo va se ɖe esime nyɔnu si fu le ɖuɖum la nadzi vi; eye Israelvi siwo susɔ ɖe aboyo me la natrɔ gbɔ akpe ɖe wo nɔviwo ŋuti anɔ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi.
4 And he shall stand, and feed in the strength of the Lord, and in the maiestie of the Name of the Lord his God, and they shall dwel still: for now shall he be magnified vnto the ends of the world.
Atsi tsitre akplɔ eƒe alẽhawo le Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ me kple Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ƒe fianyenye me. Eƒe dukɔ la anɔ anyi le ŋutifafa me elabena woade bubu eƒe gãnyenye ŋuti le xexea me godoo.
5 And hee shall be our peace when Asshur shall come into our lande: when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seuen shepheardes, and eight principall men.
Eyae anye woƒe ŋutifafa. Ne Asiria ho aʋa va míaƒe anyigba dzi heto míaƒe mɔ sesẽwo me la, ekema míadɔ alẽkplɔla adre ɖe eŋuti kple kplɔla enyi be woakplɔ mí.
6 And they shall destroy Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with their swordes: thus shall he deliuer vs from Asshur, when hee commeth into our lande, and when he shall tread within our borders.
Woaɖu Asiria dzi kple yi, eye woato eƒe agbowo me age ɖe Nimrɔd ƒe anyigba dzi. Aɖe mí tso Asiria ƒe asime nenye be wòho aʋa va dze míaƒe anyigba dzi be yeaɖo afɔ míaƒe liƒowo dzi.
7 And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among many people, as a dewe from the Lord, and as the showres vpon the grasse, that waiteth not for man, nor hopeth in the sonnes of Adam.
Yakob ƒe ame mamlɛawo anɔ ame geɖewo dome abe ahũ si dza tso Yehowa gbɔ kple agbafie si dzana ɖe gbe dzi, eye melalaa amegbetɔ alo kpɔa amegbetɔ ƒe asinu o la ene.
8 And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among the Gentiles in the middes of many people, as the lyon among the beastes of the forest, and as the lyons whelpe among the flockes of sheepe, who when he goeth thorow, treadeth downe and teareth in pieces, and none can deliuer.
Yakob ƒe ame mamlɛawo anɔ dukɔwo kple ame geɖewo dome abe dzata le lã wɔadã siwo le ave me kple dzatavi le alẽhawo dome ene. Dzatavi si le yiyim la, enyea avuzi hevuvua nu eye ame aɖeke mate ŋu axɔ nu le esi o.
9 Thine hand shall bee lift vp vpon thine aduersaries, and all thine enemies shalbe cut off.
Àkɔ wò alɔ dzi le dziɖuɖu me ɖe wò futɔwo ŋuti eye àɖu wò ketɔwo katã dzi.
10 And it shall come to passe in that day, sayth the Lord, that I will cut off thine horses out of the middes of thee, and I will destroy thy charets.
Yehowa be: “Le gbe ma gbe la, matsrɔ̃ miaƒe sɔwo eye magblẽ miaƒe tasiaɖamwo
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and ouerthrowe all thy strong holdes.
Magbã wò duwo eye mamu wò mɔ sesẽwo aƒu anyi.
12 And I will cut off thine enchanters out of thine hande: and thou shalt haue no more southsayers.
Matsi adzewɔwɔ nu le wò anyigba dzi eye màgasa gbesa azɔ o.
13 Thine idoles also will I cut off, and thine images out of the middes of thee: and thou shalt no more worship the woorke of thine hands.
Matɔ dzo wò aklamakpakpɛwo eye magbã wò legba siwo nèwɔ kple wò asiwo be màgade ta agu na wo o.
14 And I wil plucke vp thy groues out of the middes of thee: so will I destroy thine enemies.
Maho miaƒe aƒeli kɔkɔwo aƒu anyi eye magbã miaƒe duwo.
15 And I will execute a vegeance in my wrath and indignation vpon the heathen, which they haue not heard.
Mlɔeba la, matrɔ nye dziku akɔ ɖe dukɔ siwo gbe toɖoɖom la dzi eye mabia hlɔ̃ wo.”
