< Micah 5 >
1 Now shalt thou gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops; they have laid siege against us; they smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Oh engumba oyo elinga bitumba, sangisa basoda na yo, pamba te bazingeli biso! Bakobeta mokambi ya Isalaele fimbu na matama.
2 But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto Me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from ancient days.
Bongo yo, Beteleemi Efrata, atako ozali moke kati na bingumba ya Yuda, ye oyo akokonza Isalaele akowuta kati na yo. Ebandeli na Ye ezala wuta kala penza, wuta na ebandeli ya tango.
3 Therefore will He give them up, until the time that she who travaileth hath brought forth; then the residue of his brethren shall return with the children of Israel.
Yango wana, Yawe akosundola Isalaele kino tango mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota akobota, mpe ndambo ya bandeko na ye, oyo bakotikala bakozonga epai ya bandeko na bango, bana ya Isalaele.
4 And he shall stand, and shall feed his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide, for then shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
Akotelema mpe akobatela bibwele na ye na nguya na Yawe, na lokumu ya Kombo ya Nzambe na ye; mpe bakovanda na kimia, pamba te sango ya lokumu ya kombo na ye ekopanzana mokili mobimba.
5 And this shall be peace: when the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight princes among men.
Boye, akozala kimia na bango! Tango mampinga ya Asiri bakokota na makasi kati na mokili na biso mpe na bandako na biso, oyo batonga makasi, tokotindela bango babateli sambo ya bibwele mpe bakambi mwambe ya bato mpo na kobundisa bango.
6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the keen-edged sword; and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our border.
Bakokamba mokili ya Asiri mpe ya Nimirodi na mopanga. Boye, akokangola biso na bokonzi ya mampinga ya Asiri tango bakokota na makasi na mabele na biso mpe na bandelo na yango.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples, as dew from the LORD, as showers upon the grass, that are not looked for from man, nor awaited at the hands of the sons of men.
Batikali ya Jakobi bakozala, kati na bikolo ebele lokola mamwe oyo ewuti epai na Yawe, mpe na likolo ya matiti lokola londende oyo ekweyaka na makasi ya moto te to mpe etalelaka moto te.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he go through, treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
Batikali ya Jakobi bakozala kati na mabota, na kati-kati ya bikolo ebele, lokola nkosi kati na banyama ya zamba, lokola mwana nkosi kati na etonga ya bameme: tango elekaka kati na etonga ya bameme, ekangaka mpe epasolaka yango, mpe moto oyo akoki kokangola yango azalaka te.
9 Let Thy hand be lifted up above Thine adversaries, and let all Thine enemies be cut off.
Tika ete loboko na yo elonga banguna na yo, mpe bayini na yo nyonso babebisama nye!
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots;
« Na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe, « nakobebisa bashar mpe bampunda ya mokili na yo,
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strongholds;
nakobebisa bingumba ya mokili na yo mpe nakokweyisa bandako na yo, oyo batonga makasi;
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers;
nakobebisa misala na yo nyonso ya kindoki, mpe okotikala lisusu na bato ya soloka te;
13 And I will cut off thy graven images and thy pillars out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thy hands.
nakobebisa banzambe ya bikeko oyo ezali kati na yo, mpe okofukamela lisusu te bikeko oyo maboko na yo esilaki kosala;
14 And I will pluck up thy Asherim out of the midst of thee; and I will destroy thine enemies.
nakobebisa makonzi ya bule ya nzambe Ashera oyo ezali kati na yo mpe nakobebisa bingumba na yo.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the nations, because they hearkened not.
Na kanda na Ngai ya makasi, nakozongisa mabe na mabe na bikolo oyo etosaki Ngai te. »
