1 Now you will cut yourself O daughter of troop[s] a siege someone has set on us with rod they will strike on the cheek [the] judge of Israel.
Mommoaboa mo akodɔm ano, Ao akofoɔ kuropɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, atamfoɔ atwa yɛn ho ahyia. Wɔde abaa bɛbɔ Israel sodifoɔ no wɔ nʼafono so.
2 And you O Beth-lehem Ephrathah [are] insignificant to be among [the] families of Judah from you for me someone will go out to be ruler over Israel and origins his [are] from antiquity from days of antiquity.
“Nanso wo, Betlehem Efrata, ɛwom sɛ woyɛ ketewa wɔ Yuda mmusua mu deɛ, nanso, wo mu na obi bɛfiri ama me a ɔbɛyɛ Israel sodifoɔ, na nʼase firi teteete.”
3 Therefore he will deliver up them until a time [when one who is] about to give birth she has given birth and [the] rest of brothers his they will return! with [the] people of Israel.
Enti wɔbɛgya Israelfoɔ mu, kɔsi sɛ ɔbaa a awoɔ aka no no bɛwo na ne nuanom mmarima nkaeɛ bɛsane akɔka Israelfoɔ ho.
4 And he will stand and he will shepherd by [the] strength of Yahweh by [the] majesty of [the] name of Yahweh God his and they will remain for now he will be great to [the] ends of [the] earth.
Ɔbɛsɔre ahwɛ ne nnwankuo wɔ Awurade ahoɔden mu, wɔ Awurade ne Onyankopɔn din kɛseyɛ mu. Na wɔbɛtena asomdwoeɛ mu, na afei ne kɛseyɛ bɛduru asase awieeɛ.
5 And he will be this [one] peace Assyria - for it will come in land our and for it will tread on fortresses our and we will raise up on him seven shepherds and eight princes of man.
Na ɔbɛyɛ wɔn asomdwoeɛ. Sɛ Asiriafoɔ bɛto hyɛ yɛn so, na wɔbɔ nsra fa yɛn aban mu a, yɛde nnwanhwɛfoɔ nson, mpo ntuanofoɔ nwɔtwe bɛhyia wɔn.
6 And they will shepherd [the] land of Assyria with the sword and [the] land of Nimrod at entrances its and he will deliver [us] from Assyria if it will come in land our and for it will tread in territory our.
Wɔde akofena bɛdi Asiria asase so, wɔbɛtwe akofena de adi Nimrod asase so. Sɛ Asiriafoɔ to hyɛ yɛn so, bɔ nsra fa yɛn ahyeɛ so a, ɔbɛgye yɛn afiri ne nsam.
7 And it will be - [the] remnant of Jacob in [the] midst of peoples many like dew from with Yahweh like copious showers on vegetation which not it waits for anyone and not it waits for [the] children of humankind.
Yakob asefoɔ nkaeɛ no bɛfrafra nnipa bebree mu te sɛ obosuo a ɛfiri Awurade, te sɛ osuo a ɛpete gu ɛserɛ so a ɛnntwɛn ɔdasani, na ɔdasani biara rentumi nsi ho ɛkwan.
8 And it will be [the] remnant of Jacob among the nations in [the] midst of peoples many like a lion among [the] animals of [the] forest like a young lion (among flocks of *L(abh)*) sheep which if it has passed through and it tramples and it tears and there not [is] a deliverer.
Wɔbɛkane Yakob asefoɔ nkaeɛ no afra aman no mu, wɔbɛfrafra nnipa bebree mu te sɛ gyata a ɔfra mmoa mu wɔ kwaeɛ mu, te sɛ gyata ba a ɔfra nnwankuo mu a ɔbobɔ wɔn tete wɔn mu na obiara ntumi nnye wɔn.
