Micah 5
1 Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on 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 you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small amongst the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.
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 he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labour gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will 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 He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. They will live, for then he will 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 He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders of 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 They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its gates. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.
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 The remnant of Jacob will be amongst many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, that don’t wait for man nor wait 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 The remnant of Jacob will be amongst the nations, amongst many peoples, like a lion amongst the animals of the forest, like a young lion amongst the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to 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 Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.
Na misanawk nuiah ban na payangh ueloe, misanawk to na paduek boih tih.
10 “It will happen in that day”, says the LORD, “that I will cut off your horses from amongst you and will destroy your chariots.
To na niah loe nangcae salak ih hrangnawk to ka dueksak moe, hrang lakoknawk to kam rosak han:
11 I will cut off the cities of your land and will tear down all your strongholds.
na prae thung ih vangpuinawk to kam rosak moe, nangcae misa abuephaih ahmuennawk doeh ka phraek han:
12 I will destroy witchcraft from your hand. You shall have no soothsayers.
na ban ih kami doihaihnawk to ka phraek moe, angzo han koi hmuen kawng thuihaih doeh na sah o mak ai boeh:
13 I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars from amongst you; and you shall no more worship the work of your 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 I will uproot your Asherah poles from amongst you; and I will destroy your cities.
Nangcae salak ih krang sakhaih thingnawk to ka phongh moe, na vangpuinawk doeh kam rosak han.
15 I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations that didn’t listen.”
Ka lok tahngai ai kaminawk nuiah palungphuihaih hoi lu ka lak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
