< 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.
Mwet Jerusalem, orani mwet mweun lowos! Rauniyukyak kut! Elos ac sringil inwalin leum se lasr inge!
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.”
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Bethlehem Ephrathah, kom sie sin acn ma srik oemeet in acn Judah, tusruktu nga fah use sie mwet kol lun Israel keim me, su takin sou lal nuna ma oemeet me.”
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.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El ac fah fuhleang mwet lal nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lalos nwe ke pacl se mutan se ma ac oswela tulik mukul se inge el isusla. Na mwet Israel wial su muta in sruoh fah folokeni nu yurin mwet lalos sifacna.
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.
Ke pacl se el tuku, el fah leumi mwet lal ke ku su tuku sin LEUM GOD me, ac ke wal fulatlana lun LEUM GOD sifacna. Mwet lal fah muta in misla mweyen mwet fin faclu nufon fah akilen fulatlana lal,
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.
ac el fah use misla. Ke mwet Assyria elos ac utyak nu fin acn sesr ac fokolla pot ku lasr, kut fah supwala mwet kol ma ku oemeet lasr in lainulos.
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.
Ke ku lun mwe mweun lalos elos fah kutangla Assyria, acn lal Nimrod, ac elos fah molikutla liki mwet Assyria ke mwet Assyria elos utyak nu fin acn sesr.
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.
Mwet Israel su painmoulla ac fah oana aunfong su tuku sin LEUM GOD me in akoyohuye mutunfacl puspis, ac oana af nu fin ma kapak inima uh. Elos ac fah lulalfongi God, ac tia mwet uh.
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.
Elos su ac lula inmasrlon mutunfacl uh ac fah oana soko lion su suk mwe mongo nal in ima uh, ku oana soko lion fusr inmasrlon un sheep in acn musrasra. El ac mahsrikyak inmasrlon sheep uh, atuyang nu faclos ac srelosi in ip srisrik, ac wangin sie in molelosla.
9 High is your hand above your adversaries, And all your enemies are cut off.
Israel ac fah kutangla mwet lokoalok lal ac kunauselosla nukewa.
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,
LEUM GOD El fahk, “In pacl sac nga fah eisla horse nutuwos ac kunausla chariot nutuwos.
11 And I have cut off the cities of your land, And I have thrown down all your fortresses,
Nga fah kunausla siti nukewa ac ikruiya pot ku nukewa lowos.
12 And have cut off sorcerers out of your hand, And observers of clouds—you have none.
Nga fah kunausla inutnut lowos ac eisla mwet nukewa su muta palye ma ac sikyak uh.
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.
Nga fah kunausla ma sruloala ac sru oal lowos, ac kowos fah tia sifil alyalu nu ke ma kowos sifacna orala.
14 And I have plucked up your Asherim out of your midst, And I have destroyed your enemies.
Nga fah koteya ma sruloala ma orekla in lumahl god mutan Asherah in acn suwos, ac kunausla siti lowos nukewa.
15 And I have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the nations who have not listened!”
Ac in kasrkusrak lulap luk, nga fah oru folok sak luk nu fin mutunfacl nukewa ma tiana akosyu.”
