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.
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 “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.”
“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 So the Lord will only abandon Israel to its enemies until the woman in labor gives birth. Then the survivors will be reunited with their own people.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 triumph over your adversaries, let all 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 On that day, says the Lord: “I will slaughter your horses from your midst, and 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 devastate the cities in your land, and tear down your fortresses.
Èmi yóò sì pa ilẹ̀ ìlú ńlá rẹ̀ run, èmi ó sì fa gbogbo ibi gíga rẹ̀ ya.
12 I will destroy your magic charms, and you will have no soothsayers.
Èmi yóò gé ìwà àjẹ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, ìwọ kì yóò sì ní aláfọ̀ṣẹ mọ́.
13 I will cut down your idols and sacred pillars, and you will not worship any more 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 sacred poles, and destroy your idols.
Èmi yóò fa ère Aṣerah tu kúrò láàrín rẹ̀, èmi yóò sì pa ìlú ńlá rẹ̀ run.
15 In my wrath and my anger I will seek vengeance on the nations that ignore me.”
Èmi yóò gbẹ̀san ní ìbínú àti ìrunú lórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò ti tẹríba fún mi.”
