Micah 5
1 Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
Nísinsin yìí, kó àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun rẹ jọ, ìwọ ìlú ti o ni ọmọ-ogun, nítorí ó ti fi gbógun dó tì wá. Wọn yóò fi ọ̀pá lu àwọn alákòóso Israẹli ní ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́.
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
“Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Bẹtilẹhẹmu Efrata, bí ìwọ ti jẹ́ kékeré láàrín àwọn ẹ̀yà Juda, nínú rẹ ni ẹni tí yóò jẹ́ olórí ní Israẹli yóò ti jáde tọ̀ mí wá, ìjáde lọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ láti ìgbà àtijọ́, láti ìgbà láéláé.”
3 Therefore he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.
Nítorí náà Israẹli yóò di kíkọ̀sílẹ̀ pátápátá títí di àkókò tí ẹni tí ń rọbí yóò fi bí, àti àwọn ìyókù arákùnrin rẹ̀ yóò fi padà láti darapọ̀ mọ́ àwọn Israẹli.
4 He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God: and they will live, for then he will be great to the farthest parts of the earth.
Òun yóò sì dúró, yóò sì máa ṣe olùṣọ́-àgùntàn àwọn agbo ẹran rẹ̀ ní agbára Olúwa, ní ọláńlá orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀. Wọn yóò sì wà láìléwu, nítorí nísinsin yìí ni títóbi rẹ yóò sì dé òpin ayé.
5 He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land, and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders of men.
Òun yóò sì jẹ́ àlàáfíà wọn. Nígbà tí àwọn Asiria bá gbógun sí ilẹ̀ wa tí wọ́n sì ń yan lórí odi alágbára wa, nígbà náà ni a ó gbé olùṣọ́-àgùntàn méje dìde sí i, àti olórí ènìyàn mẹ́jọ.
6 They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.
Wọn yóò sì fi idà pa ilẹ̀ Asiria run, àti ilẹ̀ Nimrodu pẹ̀lú idà tí a fà. Òun yóò sì gbà wá sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Asiria nígbà tí wọn bá gbógun ti ilẹ̀ wa tí wọ́n sì tún yan wọ ẹnu-bodè wa.
7 The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, that do not wait for man, nor wait for the sons of men.
Ìyókù Jakọbu yóò sì wà láàrín ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn bí ìrì láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wa, bí ọ̀wààrà òjò lórí koríko, tí kò gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ènìyàn tàbí kò dúró de àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn.
8 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.
Ìyókù Jakọbu yóò sì wà láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà ní àárín àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, bí i kìnnìún láàrín àwọn ẹranko inú igbó, bí i ọmọ kìnnìún láàrín agbo àgùntàn, èyí tí ó máa ń fà á ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ, tí ó sì máa ń tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀, tí kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tí ó lè gbà á là.
9 Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.
A ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè ní ìṣẹ́gun lórí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ sì ni a ó parun.
10 "It will happen in that day," says the LORD, "That I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, and will destroy your chariots.
“Ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Èmi yóò pa àwọn ẹṣin rẹ̀ run kúrò láàrín rẹ èmi yóò sì pa àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun rẹ̀ run.
11 I will cut off the cities of your land, and will tear down all your strongholds.
Èmi yóò sì pa ilẹ̀ ìlú ńlá rẹ̀ run, èmi ó sì fa gbogbo ibi gíga rẹ̀ ya.
12 I will destroy witchcraft from your hand; and you shall have no soothsayers.
Èmi yóò gé ìwà àjẹ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, ìwọ kì yóò sì ní aláfọ̀ṣẹ mọ́.
13 I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars out of your midst; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
Èmi yóò pa àwọn ère fínfín rẹ̀ run, àti ọwọ̀n rẹ̀ kúrò láàrín rẹ̀; ìwọ kì yóò sì le è foríbalẹ̀ fún iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ mọ́.
14 I will uproot your Asherim out of your midst; and I will destroy your cities.
Èmi yóò fa ère Aṣerah tu kúrò láàrín rẹ̀, èmi yóò sì pa ìlú ńlá rẹ̀ run.
15 I will execute vengeance in anger, and wrath on the nations that did not listen."
Èmi yóò gbẹ̀san ní ìbínú àti ìrunú lórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò ti tẹríba fún mi.”
