< 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.
Alò, rasanble nou an twoup lame, O fi a lame yo. Li fin fè syèj kont nou. Ak gwo baton, yo va frape jij Israël la sou machwè.
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.
Men ou menm, Bethléhem Éphrata, pi piti pami fanmi a Juda yo, nan ou va soti de Mwen Youn pou vin chèf an Israël. Lè pou L vin parèt la te etabli depi nan tan ansyen yo, jis rive nan jou etènite yo.
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.
Akoz sa, Li va abandone yo jiskaske sila ki te gen doulè a, fin pouse fè pitit la. Nan lè sa a, retay nan frè li yo va retounen vin jwenn fis Israël yo.
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.
Konsa Li va leve pou mennen bann mouton Li an nan fòs SENYÈ a, nan majeste a non SENYÈ, Bondye Li a. Epi yo va viv, paske nan tan sa a, Li va pwisan jis rive nan dènye pwent latè.
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.
Li va lapè nou lè Asiryen yo vini nan peyi nou an, e lè li va mache nan palè nou yo. Konsa, nou va leve kont li sèt bèje ak uit chèf prensipal.
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.
Yo va regle peyi Assyrie ak nepe, ak peyi Nimrod la menm nan pòtay li yo. Konsa, li va delivre nou soti nan men Asiryen an lè l fè envazyon peyi nou an, ak lè li mache anndan fwontyè nou an.
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.
Epi konsa, retay Jacob la va nan mitan anpil nasyon pèp yo, tankou lawouze ki sòti nan SENYÈ a, tankou lapli k ap farinen sou zèb, ki p ap tann lòm, ni fè reta pou fis a lòm yo.
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.
Retay Jacob la va pami nasyon yo, pami anpil pèp; Tankou yon lyon pami bèt forè, tankou yon jèn lyon nan mitan bann mouton; li menm, si l pase, mache, dechire an mòso e p ap gen pèsòn ki pou delivre.
9 Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.
Ke men ou vin leve kont advèsè Ou yo e lènmi Ou yo va vin koupe retire nèt.
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.
“Li va rive, nan jou sa a,”, deklare SENYÈ a, “ke Mwen va retire cheval nou yo nan mitan nou e Mwen va detwi cha lagè nou yo.
11 I will cut off the cities of your land, and will tear down all your strongholds.
“Anplis, Mwen va koupe retire vil nan peyi nou yo, e mwen va jete tout miray fòterès nou yo.
12 I will destroy witchcraft from your hand; and you shall have no soothsayers.
Mwen va koupe retire zafè tout wanga soti nan men nou, e nou p ap gen divinò ankò.
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.
Mwen va retire imaj taye nou yo ak pilye sakre ki pami nou yo, pou nou pa adore zèv men nou yo ankò.
14 I will uproot your Asherim out of your midst; and I will destroy your cities.
Mwen va dechouke Asherim ki pami nou yo, e mwen va detwi vil nou yo.
15 I will execute vengeance in anger, and wrath on the nations that did not listen."
Epi Mwen va egzekite vanjans kòlè ak gwo mekontantman sou nasyon ki pa t koute yo.”
