Micah 5
1 ‘Now cut yourself in bitter grief, daughter besieged by soldiers. They have set a wall around you. They strike the ruler of Israel, in the face with a rod.
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 ‘Bethlehem in Ephrathah, small among the tribes of Judah, from you will come a king who will rule for me over Israel, whose family line goes back to the distant past.’
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 So the Lord will only abandon Israel to its enemies until the woman in labour gives birth. Then the survivors will be reunited with their own people.
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 And he will stand and shepherd by the strength of the Lord, In the exalted name of the Lord his God; And they will live in security, for now he will be great, even to the ends 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 This will be our peace: when Assyria comes into our land and treads on our soil, we will raise up against him seven shepherds, 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 shepherd Assyria with a sword, and the land of Nimrod with bared blades. They will deliver us from Assyria, when they come into our land, and tread within our borders.
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 And the survivors of Jacob will be disbursed among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which don’t wait for people to come or linger for mortals.
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 And the survivors of Jacob will be disbursed among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the sheep-folds, who, when he passes through, pounces. He savages his prey. There is no rescuer.
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 triumph over your adversaries, let all your enemies be cut off.
Ke men ou vin leve kont advèsè Ou yo e lènmi Ou yo va vin koupe retire nèt.
10 On that day, says the Lord: ‘I will slaughter your horses from your midst, and 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 devastate the cities in your land, and tear down your fortresses.
“Anplis, Mwen va koupe retire vil nan peyi nou yo, e mwen va jete tout miray fòterès nou yo.
12 I will destroy your magic charms, and you will 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 down your idols and sacred pillars, and you will not worship any more 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 sacred poles, and destroy your idols.
Mwen va dechouke Asherim ki pami nou yo, e mwen va detwi vil nou yo.
15 In my wrath and my anger I will seek vengeance on the nations that ignore me.’
Epi Mwen va egzekite vanjans kòlè ak gwo mekontantman sou nasyon ki pa t koute yo.”
