Micah 5
1 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops; they lay siege against us: with the rod they smite upon the cheek the judge of Israel.
Chokuru jokedo mau, yaye dala maduongʼ mar jokedo, nikech wasikwa osegonwa agengʼa. Gibiro goyo lemb ruodh jo-Israel gi luth.
2 But thou, Beth-lechem Ephratah, the least [though] thou be among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from olden times, from most ancient days.
“To in Bethlehem Efratha, kata obedo ni itin e dier dhout Juda, kuomi ema ngʼat manobedna jatend Israel nowuogie, ngʼat machakruok mare noa chon, kinde machon gi lala.”
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she who travaileth hath brought forth: then shall the remnant of his brethren return with the children of Israel.
Kuom mano Israel ibiro jwangʼ nyaka kinde ma dhako man-gi ich nonywolie nyathi, kendo owetene mamoko nodwogi mi riwre gi jo-Israel.
4 And he shall stand forward and feed [Israel] through the strength of the Lord, through the excellency of the name of the Lord his God: and they shall abide [safely]; for now shall he be great even unto the ends of the earth.
Enochungʼ mi okwa rombe gi teko mar Jehova Nyasaye, ka en gi duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache. Joge nodag maonge luoro nikech duongʼne nochop e tunge piny,
5 And in this [manner] shall there be peace: If Asshur should come into our land; and if he should tread in our palaces, then will we raise up against him seven shepherds, and eight anointed men.
kendo en owuon ema nobed kwe margi. Ka jo-Asuria omonjo pinywa, kendo ka ginyono kuondewa mochiel motegno, to wabiro yiero jokwath abiriyo mondo oked kodgi; adier jotendwa aboro norad kodgi.
6 And they shall lay waste the land of Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the gates of its [cities]: thus will he deliver us from Asshur, if he should come into our land, and if he should tread within our borders.
Gibiro loyo piny jo-Asuria gi ligangla, piny jo-Nimrod ibiro loyo gi ligangla mowuodhi. Noresgi e lwet jo-Asuria ka nomonj pinywa, kendo ka nochopi e tongʼwa.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people like dew from the Lord, like showers upon the herbs, that wait not for man, nor hope for the sons of man.
Joka Jakobo modongʼ nobed e dier ogendini mangʼeny, mana ka thoo moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye kata ka ngʼidho ma omoko e lum, malal apoya nono ne dhano bende ok nyal rito dhano.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many people, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep: who, if he break in, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, while none can deliver.
Joka Jakobo modongʼ nobed e dier ogendini, ginibed e dier ji mayoreyore, mana ka sibuor e dier le mag bungu, kata ka sibuor matin e dier rombe, makidho kendo nyulo kokadho, maonge ngʼama nyalo resogi.
9 High shall thy hand be lifted up above thy adversaries, and all thy enemies shall be cut off.
Notingʼ lweti malo kiseloyo wasiki, kendo joma kedo kodi duto notieki.
10 And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots;
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “E odiechiengno anaketh fareseu kendo nabanj gecheu mag lweny.
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and I will throw down all thy strongholds;
Anaketh mier madongo manie pinyu mochiel motegno kendo anamuk ohingau.
12 And I will cut off the arts of witchcraft out of thy hand; and soothsayers shalt thou have no more;
Abiro tieko timbeu mag jwok ma ok unuchak ugo gagi kendo.
13 And I will cut off thy graven images, and thy statues out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more prostrate thyself to the work of thy hands;
Abiro ketho kido mopa mau kod kite mulamo manie dieru. Ok unuchak ukulru piny ne gik ma lwetu oloso.
14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee; and I will destroy thy enemies.
Abiro muko sirni mag nyasachu ma Ashera mi agol kuomu kendo abiro ketho miechu madongo chuth.
15 And I will in anger and in fury execute vengeance upon the nations, upon those that have not hearkened.
Anachul kuor gi mirima kod gero kuom ogendini ma osedagi luora.”
