< Micah 5 >
1 “But now, [you people of Jerusalem, gather your troops together, ] [because even though] you have a wall [around your city to protect it], [enemy soldiers] are surrounding the city. And [soon] they will strike your leader on his face, with a rod.”
Yelusaleme fi dunu dilia! Dadi gagui dunu gagadoma! Ninima ha lai dunu da nini sisiga: le doagala: musa: eale disi! Ilia da Isala: ili bisilua dunu ema doagala: sa.
2 But you [people of] [APO] Bethlehem in Ephrathah [district need to know that] even though your [town] is a very small one among all the towns in Judah, someone who will rule Israel will be born in your town. [He will be] someone whose family has existed a very long time ago [DOU].
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Bedeleheme Efala: da moilai! Di da Yuda soge ganodini moilai fonobahadidafa gala. Be dilia fi amo ganodini, Na da Isala: ili fi ouligima: ne Hina Bagade dunu oule misunu. Egaga fifi misi da hemonegadafa mui.”
3 [But now] you people of Israel will be conquered by your enemies; [but it will be for only a short time], like [MET] [the short time that] women have great pain while their babies are being born. After that, your fellow-countrymen who were (exiled/forced to go to other countries) will return to their own country.
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu amo ilia ha lai dunu ilima osa: le heda: ma: ne yolesi dialeawane, uda da ea Dunu Mano lalelegemu. Amasea, Isala: ili dunu mugululi asi da ilia fidafa amoga bu gilisi dagoi ba: mu.
4 And that man who will be ruling [there in Jerusalem] will stand and lead his people well, because Yahweh, his God, will cause him to be strong and greatly honored. Then the people whom he rules will live [in Jerusalem] safely; he will be greatly honored by people all over the earth, [so no one will dare to attack Jerusalem].
E da masea, E da Hina Gode Ea gasa amola Ea Hadigidafa amoga Ea fi dunu ouligimu. Ea fi dunu ilia da gaga: iwane esalumu. Bai osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane da Ea gasa bagade amola Ea Hadigi dawa: digimu.
5 And he will cause things to go well [for his people]. When [the army of] Assyria attacks our country and breaks though our fortresses, we will appoint (seven or eight/several) leaders [to lead our army] to fight against them.
Amola E da olofosu gaguli misunu. Asilia dunu da ninia soge doagala: musa: golili dasea, amola ninia gaga: le aligi amo fili masea, ninia da ninia gasa bagade dadi gagui ouligisu dunu ilima gegema: ne asunasimu.
6 With their swords [our army] will defeat the [army of] Assyria, [whose capital was founded by] Nimrod [long ago]. So our army will rescue us from the Assyrian [army] when they invade our country [DOU].
Isala: ili gasa bagade dadi gagui dunu ilia da Asilia (Nimolode ea soge) amoga doagala: le, ili hasalasimu. Amalu, Asilia fi dunu ilia ninima doagala: musa: ninia alalo amo giadofale masea, amo Isala: ili gasa bagade gegesu dunu ilia da nini gaga: mu.
7 The (descendants of Jacob/Israelis) who survive will be [a blessing] to the people of other nations, like [SIM] dew and rain sent by Yahweh do good to the grass. The Israelis will not trust in humans [to help them]; instead, they will rely on Yahweh.
Isala: ili fi dunu gegesu ganodini hame bogoi esalebe, ilia da oubi baea amo da Hina Gode Ea fifi asi gala amo iligili nasegagima: ne iaha, amola gibu amo da ifalobo heda: ma: ne dabe agoai ba: mu. Ilia da dunu eno ilia fidisu mae dawa: le, Gode Ea fidisu amo fawane dawa: mu.
8 In the midst of [their enemies in] many people-groups [DOU], the descendants of Jacob who remain alive will be like [SIM] a lion among the [other] wild beasts of the forest, like [SIM] a young lion who goes among a flock of sheep and pounces [on one] and (mauls it/tears it to pieces), and no one will be able to rescue [that sheep].
Fifi asi gala amo ganodini hame bogoi esalebe dunu, ilia da laione wa: me sogeba: le ha: i manu hohogola lalebe agoai ba: mu. Amo laione wa: me da sibi wa: i amo ganodini sa: ili, ilima doagala: le, ilia da: i dadega: le, fofonobone sala. Sibi hobeale masunu logo da hame ba: sa.
9 You Israelis will defeat [MTY] all your enemies and completely destroy them.
Isala: ili fi da ilima ha lai huluanedafa hasalasimu amola ili huluane gugunufinisimu.
10 Yahweh says, “At that time, I will destroy [you Israeli people’s] horses [that your soldiers use in war] and your chariots.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Amo esoga, Na da dilia hosi sasamogene, dilia sa: liode amo wadela: lesisimu.
11 I will tear down your city [walls] and destroy all your fortified cities.
Na dilia soge ganodini moilai bai bagade huluane mugululi fasimu. Amola, gaga: le gagoi liligi amo huluane dusa: le fasimu.
12 I will get rid of all those among you who practice magic and the (fortune-tellers/those who say that they can predict what will happen in the future).
Na da dilia gabi amoga dilia wadela: le hamonanebe, amo wadela: lesili, dilima fa: no misunu hou adolalusu dunu da bu hame ba: mu.
13 I will destroy [all] your idols and [sacred stone] pillars, and then you will no longer bow down [and worship] things that you yourselves [SYN] have made.
Na da dilia loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ amola sema gele mogomogoi amo wadela: lesimu. Dilia da bu dilia loboga hamoi liligi amoma hame nodone sia: ne gadomu.
14 I will get rid of your poles [that represent the goddess] Asherah, and [I will also] destroy all your idols.
Na ogogosu uda ‘gode’ Asila e agoaila dilia soge ganodini dialebe, amola dilia moilai bai bagade huluane amo mugululi sasalimu.
15 And because I will be very angry, I will [also] punish [the people of] all the nations who have not obeyed [me].”
Na da ougi bagadeba: le, Na da fifi asi gala huluane amo da Na sia: hame nabi, ilima dabe imunu galebe.”
