< Micah 5 >

1 Meanwhile, shalt thou gather together in troops, thou daughter of a troop, siege, hath he laid against us, —with a sceptre, will they smite on the cheek, the judge of Israel!
Mwet Jerusalem, orani mwet mweun lowos! Rauniyukyak kut! Elos ac sringil inwalin leum se lasr inge!
2 Thou, therefore, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though, little, to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee, shall Mine come forth, to be ruler in Israel, —whose comings forth, have been from of old, from the days of age-past time.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Bethlehem Ephrathah, kom sie sin acn ma srik oemeet in acn Judah, tusruktu nga fah use sie mwet kol lun Israel keim me, su takin sou lal nuna ma oemeet me.”
3 Therefore, will he give them up, until the time when, one who is to bring forth, hath brought forth, —and, the remainder of his brethren, return unto the sons of Israel.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El ac fah fuhleang mwet lal nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lalos nwe ke pacl se mutan se ma ac oswela tulik mukul se inge el isusla. Na mwet Israel wial su muta in sruoh fah folokeni nu yurin mwet lalos sifacna.
4 Then shall he stand, and tend his flock in the strength of Yahweh, In the excellency of the name of Yahweh his God, have they endured, —For, now, shall he be great unto the ends of the earth;
Ke pacl se el tuku, el fah leumi mwet lal ke ku su tuku sin LEUM GOD me, ac ke wal fulatlana lun LEUM GOD sifacna. Mwet lal fah muta in misla mweyen mwet fin faclu nufon fah akilen fulatlana lal,
5 So shall this one be Prosperity. As for Assyria—when he shall enter our land, and when he shall tread down in our palaces, then will we raise up against him, seven shepherds, and eight princes of mankind.
ac el fah use misla. Ke mwet Assyria elos ac utyak nu fin acn sesr ac fokolla pot ku lasr, kut fah supwala mwet kol ma ku oemeet lasr in lainulos.
6 Then shall they shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof, —So shall he deliver from Assyria, when he shall enter our land, and when he shall tread down within our bounds.
Ke ku lun mwe mweun lalos elos fah kutangla Assyria, acn lal Nimrod, ac elos fah molikutla liki mwet Assyria ke mwet Assyria elos utyak nu fin acn sesr.
7 And, the remnant of Jacob, shall be, in the midst of many peoples, as dew from Yahweh, as myriad drops on plants, —which tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of Adam.
Mwet Israel su painmoulla ac fah oana aunfong su tuku sin LEUM GOD me in akoyohuye mutunfacl puspis, ac oana af nu fin ma kapak inima uh. Elos ac fah lulalfongi God, ac tia mwet uh.
8 And, the remnant of Jacob, shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the jungle, as a young lion among flocks of sheep, —who, if he passeth by, both treadeth down—and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
Elos su ac lula inmasrlon mutunfacl uh ac fah oana soko lion su suk mwe mongo nal in ima uh, ku oana soko lion fusr inmasrlon un sheep in acn musrasra. El ac mahsrikyak inmasrlon sheep uh, atuyang nu faclos ac srelosi in ip srisrik, ac wangin sie in molelosla.
9 Let thy hand be uplifted against thine adversaries, —and, all thine enemies, shall be cut off.
Israel ac fah kutangla mwet lokoalok lal ac kunauselosla nukewa.
10 And it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth Yahweh, That I will cut off thy horses out of thy midst, —and will destroy thy chariots;
LEUM GOD El fahk, “In pacl sac nga fah eisla horse nutuwos ac kunausla chariot nutuwos.
11 And will cut off the cities of thy land, —and will pull down all thy fortresses;
Nga fah kunausla siti nukewa ac ikruiya pot ku nukewa lowos.
12 And will cut off incantations, out of thy hand, —and, users of hidden arts, shalt thou not have;
Nga fah kunausla inutnut lowos ac eisla mwet nukewa su muta palye ma ac sikyak uh.
13 And I will cut off thine images and thy pillars out of thy midst, —and thou shalt not bow thyself down, any more, to the work of thine own hands;
Nga fah kunausla ma sruloala ac sru oal lowos, ac kowos fah tia sifil alyalu nu ke ma kowos sifacna orala.
14 And I will uproot thy Sacred Stems out of thy midst, —and will destroy thy cities:
Nga fah koteya ma sruloala ma orekla in lumahl god mutan Asherah in acn suwos, ac kunausla siti lowos nukewa.
15 Then will I execute, with anger and with indignation, vengeance upon the nations, —of which they have not heard.
Ac in kasrkusrak lulap luk, nga fah oru folok sak luk nu fin mutunfacl nukewa ma tiana akosyu.”
