Micah 5
1 Now gather yourself together, O daughter of troops, He has laid a siege against us, They strike [the] judge of Israel on the cheek with a rod.
| الآنَ احْشُدِي جُيُوشَكِ يَا مَدِينَةَ الْجُيُوشِ، لأَنَّ الْعَدُوَّ يُقِيمُ عَلَيْكِ حِصَاراً، وَسَيَضْرِبُ خَدَّ قَاضِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالْقَضِيبِ. | ١ |
2 “And you, Beth-Lehem Ephratah, Little to be among the chiefs of Judah! From you He comes forth to Me—to be ruler in Israel, And His comings forth [are] of old, From the days of antiquity.”
| أَمَّا أَنْتِ يَا بَيْتَ لَحْمِ أَفْرَاتَةَ، مَعَ أَنَّكِ قَرْيَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ بَيْنَ أُلُوفِ قُرَى يَهُوذَا، إِلّا أَنَّ مِنْكِ يَخْرُجُ لِي مَنْ يُصْبِحُ مَلِكاً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَصْلُهُ مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ، مُنْذُ الأَزَلِ. | ٢ |
3 Therefore He gives them up until the time she who brings forth has brought forth, And the remnant of His brothers return to the sons of Israel.
| لِذَلِكَ يُسَلِّمُ الرَّبُّ شَعْبَهُ إِلَى أَعْدَائِهِمْ إِلَى أَنْ تَلِدَ مَنْ تُقَاسِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ، عِنْدَئِذٍ تَرْجِعُ بَقِيَّةُ إِخْوَتِهِ مِنَ السَّبْيِ إِلَى شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣ |
4 And He has stood and delighted in the strength of YHWH, In the excellence of the Name of His God YHWH, And they have remained, For now He is great to the ends of the earth.
| فَيَقُومُ وَيَرْعَى شَعْبَهُ بِقُوَّةِ الرَّبِّ وَبِجَلالِ اسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ، فَيَعِيشُونَ بِأَمْنٍ، لأَنَّ عَظَمَتَهُ تَمْتَدُّ إِلَى أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. | ٤ |
5 And this [One] has been peace. Asshur, when he comes into our land, And when he treads in our palaces, We have raised against him seven shepherds, And eight anointed of man.
| وَيُصْبِحُ الرَّبُّ سَلامَهُمْ، إِذْ حِينَ يَزْحَفُ الأَشُّورِيُّونَ إِلَى أَرْضِنَا وَيَطَأُونَ تُرَابَنَا، فَإِنَّنَا نُثِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَةَ رُعَاةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ أُمَرَاءَ مِنَ النَّاسِ، | ٥ |
6 And they have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword, And the land of Nimrod at its openings, And He has delivered from Asshur when he comes into our land, And when he treads in our borders.
| فَيَحْكُمُونَ بِلادَ أَشُّورَ بِقُوَّةِ السَّيْفِ، وَيَقْتَحِمُونَ بَوَّابَاتِ أَرْضِ نِمْرُودَ، وَيُنْقِذُنَا (اللهُ) مِنَ الأَشُّورِيِّينَ عِنْدَمَا يَزْحَفُونَ إِلَى أَرْضِنَا وَيَطَأُونَ تُخُومَنَا. | ٦ |
7 And the remnant of Jacob has been in the midst of many peoples, As dew from YHWH—as showers on the herb, That does not wait for man, nor stays for the sons of men.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تَغْدُو بَقِيَّةُ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الْكَثِيرَةِ كَنَدىً مِنْ لَدُنِ الرَّبِّ، كَالْمَطَرِ الْوَابِلِ عَلَى الْعُشْبِ الَّذِي لَا يَتَوَانَى مِنْ أَجْلِ النَّاسِ أَوْ يَرْجُو أَبْنَاءَ الْبَشَرِ. | ٧ |
8 Indeed, the remnant of Jacob has been among nations, In the midst of many peoples, As a lion among beasts of a forest, As a young lion among ranks of a flock, Which if it has passed through, Has both trodden down and has torn, And there is no deliverer.
| وَتَكُونُ بَقِيَّةُ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ الْكَثِيرَةِ كَأَسَدٍ بَيْنَ وُحُوشِ الْغَابَةِ، أَوْ كَشِبْلٍ بَيْنَ قُطْعَانِ الْغَنَمِ، الَّذِي إِنِ اقْتَحَمَ يَدُوسُ وَيَفْتَرِسُ وَلَيْسَ مِنْ مُنْقِذٍ. | ٨ |
9 High is your hand above your adversaries, And all your enemies are cut off.
| فَتَتَعَاظَمُ يَا شَعْبِي عَلَى مُبْغِضِيكَ، وَيَبِيدُ جَمِيعُ أَعْدَائِكَ. | ٩ |
10 “And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “I have cut off your horses from your midst, And I have destroyed your chariots,
| وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَسْتَأْصِلُ خُيُولَكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ وَأُدَمِّرُ مَرْكَبَاتِ حَرْبِكُمْ، | ١٠ |
11 And I have cut off the cities of your land, And I have thrown down all your fortresses,
| وَأُخَرِّبُ مُدُنَكُمْ وَأَهْدِمُ جَمِيعَ حُصُونِكُمْ، | ١١ |
12 And have cut off sorcerers out of your hand, And observers of clouds—you have none.
| وَأَقْضِي عَلَى السِّحْرِ فِي دِيَارِكُمْ وَلا يَبْقَى لَكُمْ عَرَّافُونَ، | ١٢ |
13 And I have cut off your carved images, And your standing-pillars out of your midst, And you do not bow yourself anymore To the work of your hands.
| وَأَنْتَزِعُ تَمَاثِيلَكُمْ وَأَنْصَابَكُمْ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ، فَلا تَعُودُونَ تَسْجُدُونَ لأَصْنَامٍ مِنْ صُنْعِ أَيْدِيكُمْ. | ١٣ |
14 And I have plucked up your Asherim out of your midst, And I have destroyed your enemies.
| وَأُفْنِي عَشْتَارُوثَ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ، وَأَهْدِمُ مُدُنَكُمْ، | ١٤ |
15 And I have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the nations who have not listened!”
| وَبِغَضَبٍ وَسَخَطٍ أَنْتَقِمُ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُطِعْنِي. | ١٥ |
