< 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.
Na inaianei ka whakahuihui a ropu koe i a koe, e te tamahine a nga ropu: kua oti tatou te whakapae e ia: ka patua e ratou ki te rakau te paparinga o te kaiwhakawa o Iharaira.
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.
Na ko koe, e Peterehema Eparata, he iti nei i roto i nga mano o Hura, e puta mai i roto i a koe tetahi maku hei kawana mo Iharaira: ko ona putanga nonamata, no nga ra o tua iho.
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.
Mo reira ratou ka tukua atu ai e ia, kia tae ra ano ki te wa e whanau ai tenei e whakamamae nei: hei reira nga toenga o ona tuakana hoki ai ki nga tama a Iharaira.
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.
A ka tu ia, ka whangai i tana kahui i runga i te kaha o Ihowa, i runga hoki i te nui o te ingoa o Ihowa, o tona Atua; a ka noho ratou; no te mea akuareiia ka nui, ki nga pito ra ano o te whenua.
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.
A ko tenei tangata hei maunga rongo mo tatou: ina tae mai te Ahiriana ki to tatou whenua, a ka takahi ki o tatou whare kingi, hei reira ara ai i a tatou hei whawhai ki a ia etahi hepara tokowhitu me etahi tangata rangatira tokowaru.
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.
A ka whakamotitia e ratou te whenua o Ahiria ki te hoari, te whenua hoki o Nimiroro i ona tomokanga: na ka whakaorangia tatou e ia i te Ahiriana, ina haere mai ia ki to tatou whenua, ina takahi ia i roto i o tatou rohe.
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.
A ka rite nga toenga o Hakopa i roto i nga iwi maha ki te tomairangi a Ihowa, ki nga kouaua i runga i te tarutaru; e kore nei e whanga ki te tangata, e kore ano e tatari ki nga tama a te tangata.
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.
Na ka waiho te toenga o Hakopa i roto i nga tauiwi, i roto i nga iwi maha; ka rite ki te raiona i roto i nga kararehe o te ngahere, ki te kuao raiona i roto i nga kauhui hipi: na ki te tika atu ia i waenga, ka takatakahia e ia, ka haehaea, kahore hoki he kaiwhakaora.
9 Thine hand shall bee lift vp vpon thine aduersaries, and all thine enemies shalbe cut off.
Whakaarahia tou ringa ki runga ake i ou hoariri, hatepea atu hoki ou hoariri katoa.
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.
Na i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa, ka hatepea atu e ahau au hoiho i roto i a koe, ka kore ano i ahau au hariata;
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and ouerthrowe all thy strong holdes.
A ka whakakorea atu e ahau nga pa o tou whenua, ka wawahia ano e ahau ou pa kaha katoa;
12 And I will cut off thine enchanters out of thine hande: and thou shalt haue no more southsayers.
Ka hatepea atu hoki e ahau nga makutu i roto i tou ringa, a ka kore nga tohunga maori i roto i a koe:
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.
Ka hatepea atu hoki e ahau au whakapakoko, me au pou whakaahua i roto i a koe: a e kore koe e koropiko i muri nei ki te mahi a ou ringa.
14 And I wil plucke vp thy groues out of the middes of thee: so will I destroy thine enemies.
Ka hutia ano e ahau Aherimi i roto i a koe: a ka huna e ahau ou pa.
15 And I will execute a vegeance in my wrath and indignation vpon the heathen, which they haue not heard.
Ka rapua hoki e ahau he utu i nga tauiwi i runga i te riri, i te weriweri, kihai nei ratou i whakarongo.
