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.
Kuŋŋaanya amaggye go, ggwe ekibuga ekirina amaggye, kubanga tulumbiddwa. Omukulembeze wa Isirayiri balimukuba omuggo ku luba.
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.”
“Naye ggwe Besirekemu Efulasa, newaakubadde ng’oli mutono mu bika bya Yuda, mu ggwe mwe muliva alibeera omufuzi wange mu Isirayiri. Oyo yaliwo okuva edda n’edda, ng’ensi tennabaawo.”
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.
Mukama kyaliva awaayo Isirayiri eri abalabe baayo okutuusa omukyala alumwa okuzaala lwalizaala omwana, era baganda be abaasigalawo ne balyoka bakomawo eri bannaabwe mu Isirayiri.
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.
Aliyimirira n’anyweera n’aliisa ekisibo kye mu maanyi ga Mukama, mu kitiibwa ky’erinnya lya Mukama Katonda we. Era abantu be tebalibaako abateganya, kubanga aliba mukulu okutuusa ku nkomerero y’ensi.
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.
Omukulu oyo aliba mirembe gyabwe. Omwasuli bw’alirumba ensi yaffe n’abuna ebigo byaffe, tulimuyimbulira abasumba musanvu, n’abakulembeze munaana.
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.
Abo be balifuga ensi ya Asuli n’ekitala era ensi ya Nimuloodi nayo bagyonoone. Naye alitulokola eri Omwasuli bw’alitulumba mu nsi yaffe era bw’aliyingira mu nsalo zaffe.
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.
Abantu ba Isirayiri abalisigalawo balibeera wakati mu mawanga agabeetoolodde, babe ng’omusulo oguva eri Mukama, ng’obukubakuba obutonnyeredde ku muddo obutalindirira muntu oba abaana b’abantu.
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.
Ng’empologoma bw’ebeera n’ensolo endala ez’omu nsiko, abantu abaasigalawo aba Yakobo balibeera mu mawanga mangi agabeetoolodde; ate era ng’empologoma ento mu bisibo by’endiga, bw’egenda n’eyitamu n’etaagulataagula ne wataba n’omu aziwonya.
9 High is your hand above your adversaries, And all your enemies are cut off.
Omukono gwo guliwangula abalabe bo, ne bonna abakuyigganya balizikirizibwa.
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,
“Ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “Ndizikiriza embalaasi zo ne nsanyaawo n’amagaali go.
11 And I have cut off the cities of your land, And I have thrown down all your fortresses,
Ndizikiriza ebibuga eby’omu nsi yo era mmenyemenye n’ebigo byo byonna.
12 And have cut off sorcerers out of your hand, And observers of clouds—you have none.
Obulogo bwo ndibumalawo era toliddayo kukolima nate.
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.
N’ebibumbe bye musinza ndibizikiriza. Ne nziggyawo n’amayinja ge mwawonga; temuliddayo nate kuvuunamira bakatonda be mwekoledde n’emikono gyammwe.
14 And I have plucked up your Asherim out of your midst, And I have destroyed your enemies.
Era ndisigula Baasera okuva mu mmwe, ebibuga byammwe n’embizikiriza.
15 And I have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the nations who have not listened!”
Era ndyesasuza ku mawanga agataŋŋondedde n’obusungu n’ekiruyi.”
