< Micah 5 >

1 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Aw misatuh kaminawk ih canu, misatuh kaminawk to nawnto pakhueng ah; anih mah aicae takui khoep boeh; nihcae mah Israel ukkung to cung hoi tangbaeng ah bop tih.
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou art little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Toe nang, Bethlehem Ephrathah loe, Judah acaengnawk thungah vangpui tetta ah na oh, toe kai hanah Israel ukkung loe nang thung hoiah ni angzo tih, Anih loe boeng thai ai dungzan ah kaom, canghnii ih atue hoiah ni angzoh boeh.
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she who travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return to the children of Israel.
To pongah caa tapenhaih kana pauep nongpata mah nawkta tapen karoek to Anih mah Israel to pahnawt sut tih, anghmat anih ih nawkamyanawk loe Israel caanawk khaeah amlaem o let tih.
4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great to the ends of the earth.
Anih loe Angraeng thacakhaih hoi angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin lensawkhaih hoiah angdoe ueloe, angmah ih tuunawk to pacah tih; nihcae loe monghaih hoiah khosah o tih: long boeng khoek to anih mah lensawkhaih hoiah uk tih.
5 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
Assyria kaminawk aicae prae thungah angzoh o naah, Anih loe monghaih ah om tih boeh: aicae angraeng ohhaih ahmuen ah nihcae phak o naah loe, aicae tuu toepkung sarihto hoi kami zaehoikung tazettonawk mah aicae han misa tuh o tih.
6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its entrances: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
Nihcae mah Assyria prae to sumsen hoiah paro o boih ueloe, Nimrod ih prae to khongkha karoek to pazawk o tih; Assyria loe aicae prae thungah angzoh moe, aicae prae angzithaih karoek to phak naah, anih mah aicae to pahlong tih.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
Kanghmat Jakob ih kaminawk loe Angraeng mah paek ih dantui baktih, kami kazing ai, kami capanawk doeh kazing ai, phroh nui ih khotui baktiah pop parai kaminawk salakah om o tih.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he goeth through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
Kanghmat Jakob ih kaminawk loe pop parai Gentelnawk salakah om o ueloe, moinawk salak ih kaipui baktih, tuunawk salak ih kaipui kanawk baktiah om o tih, anih loe kaipui baktiah caeh ueloe, taprawt pet pet tih, to naah nihcae abomh kami mi doeh om mak ai.
9 Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thy adversaries, and all thy enemies shall be cut off.
Na misanawk nuiah ban na payangh ueloe, misanawk to na paduek boih tih.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:
To na niah loe nangcae salak ih hrangnawk to ka dueksak moe, hrang lakoknawk to kam rosak han:
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
na prae thung ih vangpuinawk to kam rosak moe, nangcae misa abuephaih ahmuennawk doeh ka phraek han:
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
na ban ih kami doihaihnawk to ka phraek moe, angzo han koi hmuen kawng thuihaih doeh na sah o mak ai boeh:
13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thy hands.
na sak o cop ih krangnawk hoi nangmacae salakah angdoe krangnawk doeh ka phraek han; to naah loe na ban hoi sak ih hmuennawk to na bok mak ai boeh.
14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
Nangcae salak ih krang sakhaih thingnawk to ka phongh moe, na vangpuinawk doeh kam rosak han.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
Ka lok tahngai ai kaminawk nuiah palungphuihaih hoi lu ka lak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
