< Micah 5 >
1 Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops: he has laid siege against us: they shall strike the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Unganidza mauto ako, iwe guta ramauto, nokuti takombwa nomuvengi. Vacharova mutongi waIsraeri netsvimbo padama.
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, though you be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall he comes forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose activities forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
“Asi iwe, Bheterehema Efurata, kunyange uri muduku pakati pamarudzi aJudha, kwauri kuchandibudira mumwe achava mutongi pamusoro peIsraeri, mavambo ake ndeakare kare, kubva pamazuva akare kare.”
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which labors has brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
Naizvozvo Israeri achasiyiwa kusvikira panguva iyo, iye anorwadziwa azvara uye hama dzake dzose dzadzoka kuzobatana navaIsraeri.
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 unto the ends of the earth.
Achamira agofudza boka rake musimba raJehovha, muukuru hwezita raJehovha Mwari wake. Uye vachagara norugare, nokuti ipapo kukura kwake kuchasvika kumagumo enyika.
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.
Uye iye achava rugare rwavo. MuAsiria paacharwisa nyika yedu agofamba achipfuura nomunhare dzedu, tichamumutsira vafudzi vanomwe kuti vamurwise kunyange vatungamiri vasere vavanhu.
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.
Vachatonga nyika yeAsiria nomunondo, nyika yaNimurodhi nomunondo wakavhomorwa. Achatirwira kubva kumuAsiria paachapinda munyika yedu nokupinda pamiganhu yedu.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarries not for man, nor waits for the sons of men.
Vakasara vaJakobho vachava pakati pamarudzi akawanda, sedova rinobva kuna Jehovha, sokunaya kwemvura pauswa, zvisingamiriri munhu kana kugaririra vanhu.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst 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.
Vakasara vaJakobho vachava pakati pendudzi, pakati poruzhinji rwamarudzi, seshumba pakati pezvikara zvesango, seshumba duku pakati pamapoka amakwai, inotsika uye inobvambura ichienda, pasina anogona kununura.
9 your hand shall be lifted up upon your adversaries, and all of your enemies shall be cut off.
Ruoko rwenyu ruchasimudzwa mukukunda uye vadzivisi venyu vose vachaparadzwa.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD, that I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, and I will destroy your chariots:
“Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ndichaparadza mabhiza enyu pakati penyu uye ndichapwanya ngoro dzenyu.
11 And I will cut off the cities of your land, and throw down all your strong holds:
Ndichaparadza maguta enyika yenyu uye ndichaputsa nhare dzenyu dzose.
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of your hand; and you shall have no more soothsayers:
Ndichaparadza uroyi hwako uye hauchazovizve navavuki.
13 Your graven images also will I cut off, and your standing images out of the midst of you; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
Ndichaparadza zvifananidzo zvenyu zvakavezwa neshongwe dzenyu pakati penyu; hamuchazokotamiri kubasa ramaoko enyu.
14 And I will pluck up your groves out of the midst of you: so will I destroy your cities.
Ndichadzura kubva pakati penyu matanda aAshera uye ndichaparadza maguta enyu.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
Ndichatsiva nokutsamwa nehasha kundudzi dzisina kunditeerera.”
