< 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Thine hand shall bee lift vp vpon thine aduersaries, and all thine enemies shalbe cut off.
Izrayèl va leve kont lènmi li yo, l'a disparèt yo nèt.
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.
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 cut off the cities of thy land, and ouerthrowe all thy strong holdes.
M'ap detwi tout lavil nou bati nan peyi a, m'ap kraze tout fò ak tout ranpa nou yo.
12 And I will cut off thine enchanters out of thine hande: and thou shalt haue no more southsayers.
M'a wete tout wanga nan peyi a. Nou p'ap jwenn moun ki pou bat kat pou nou ankò.
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.
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 wil plucke vp thy groues out of the middes of thee: so will I destroy thine enemies.
M'ap derasinen tout pyebwa repozwa nan peyi a. M'ap detwi tout lavil nou yo.
15 And I will execute a vegeance in my wrath and indignation vpon the heathen, which they haue not heard.
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.
