< Micah 5 >
1 Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops: he has laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
Oh engumba oyo elinga bitumba, sangisa basoda na yo, pamba te bazingeli biso! Bakobeta mokambi ya Isalaele fimbu na matama.
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, though you be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall he come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
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 which travails has brought forth: then the remnant of his brothers shall return to 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 feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great to 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 man shall be the 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 principal 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 in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he comes into our land, and when he treads within our borders.
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 middle of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers on the grass, that tarries not for man, nor waits for 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 Gentiles in the middle of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treads down, and tears in pieces, and none can 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 Your hand shall be lifted up on your adversaries, and all your enemies shall 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, says the LORD, that I will cut off your horses out of the middle of you, and I will destroy your chariots:
« Na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe, « nakobebisa bashar mpe bampunda ya mokili na yo,
11 And I will cut off the cities of your land, and throw down all your strong holds:
nakobebisa bingumba ya mokili na yo mpe nakokweyisa bandako na yo, oyo batonga makasi;
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of your hand; and you shall have no more soothsayers:
nakobebisa misala na yo nyonso ya kindoki, mpe okotikala lisusu na bato ya soloka te;
13 Your graven images also will I cut off, and your standing images out of the middle of you; and you shall no more worship the work of your 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 your groves out of the middle of you: so will I destroy your cities.
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 on the heathen, such as they have not heard.
Na kanda na Ngai ya makasi, nakozongisa mabe na mabe na bikolo oyo etosaki Ngai te. »
