Micah 5
1 Now thou, douyter of a theef, schalt be distried; thei puttiden on vs bisegyng, in a yerde thei schulen smyte the cheke of the iuge of Israel.
Panga majeshi yako, ee mji wa majeshi, kwa kuwa kuzingirwa kumepangwa dhidi yetu. Watampiga mtawala wa Israeli shavuni kwa fimbo.
2 And thou, Bethleem Effrata, art litil in the thousyndis of Juda; he that is the lordli gouernour in Israel, schal go out of thee to me; and the goyng out of hym is fro bigynnyng, fro daies of euerlastyngnesse.
“Lakini wewe, Bethlehemu Efrathi, ingawa u mdogo miongoni mwa koo za Yuda, kutoka kwako atatokea kwa ajili yangu yeye atakayekuwa mtawala katika Israeli, ambaye asili yake ni kutoka zamani, kutoka milele.”
3 For this thing he shal yyue hem til to the tyme in which the trauelinge of child schal bere child, and the relifs of hise britheren schulen be conuertid to the sones of Israel.
Kwa hiyo Israeli utaachwa mpaka wakati mwanamke aliye na utungu atakapozaa na ndugu zake wengine warudi kujiunga na Waisraeli.
4 And he schal stonde, and schal fede in the strengthe of the Lord, in the heiythe of the name of his Lord God; and thei schulen be conuertid, for now he schal be magnefied til to the endis of al erthe.
Atasimama na kulichunga kundi lake katika nguvu ya Bwana, katika utukufu wa jina la Bwana Mungu wake. Nao wataishi kwa usalama, kwa kuwa wakati huo ukuu wake utaenea hadi miisho ya dunia.
5 And this schal be pees, whanne Assirius schal come in to oure lond, and whanne he schal trede in oure housis; and we schulen reise on hym seuene scheepherdis, and eiyte primatis men, ether the firste in dignytee.
Naye atakuwa amani yao. Wakati Mwashuru atakapovamia nchi yetu na kupita katika ngome zetu, tutawainua wachungaji saba dhidi yake, hata viongozi wanane wa watu.
6 And thei schulen frete the lond of Assur bi swerd, and the lond of Nembroth bi speris of hym; and he schal delyuere vs fro Assur, whanne he schal come in to oure lond, and whanne he schal trede in oure coostis.
Wataitawala nchi ya Ashuru kwa upanga, nchi ya Nimrodi kwa upanga. Atatuokoa kutoka kwa Mwashuru atakapoivamia nchi yetu na kuingia katika mipaka yetu.
7 And relifs of Jacob schulen be in the myddil of many puplis, as dew of the Lord, and as dropis on erbe, whiche abidith not man, and schal not abide sones of men.
Mabaki ya Yakobo yatakuwa katikati ya mataifa mengi kama umande kutoka kwa Bwana, kama manyunyu juu ya majani, ambayo hayamngoji mtu wala kukawia kwa mwanadamu.
8 And relifs of Jacob schulen be in hethene men, in the myddil of many puplis, as a lioun in beestis of the woodis, and as a whelpe of a lioun rorynge in flockis of scheep; and whanne he passith, and defoulith, and takith, there is not that schal delyuere.
Mabaki ya Yakobo yatakuwa miongoni mwa mataifa, katikati ya mataifa mengi, kama simba miongoni mwa wanyama wa msituni, kama mwana simba miongoni mwa makundi ya kondoo, ambaye anaumiza vibaya na kuwararua kila anapopita katikati yao, wala hakuna awezaye kuokoa.
9 And thin hond schal be reisid on thin enemyes, and alle thin enemyes schulen perische.
Mkono wako utainuliwa juu kwa ushindi juu ya watesi wako, nao adui zako wote wataangamizwa.
10 And it schal be, in that dai, seith the Lord, Y schal take awei thin horsis fro the myddil of thee, and Y schal distrie thi foure horsid cartis.
“Katika siku ile,” asema Bwana, “nitaangamiza farasi zenu katikati yenu na kubomoa magari yenu ya vita.
11 And Y schal leese the citees of thi lond, and Y schal distrie alle thi strengthis;
Nitaiangamiza miji ya nchi yenu na kuziangusha chini ngome zenu zote.
12 and Y schal do awei witchecraftis fro thin hond, and dyuynaciouns schulen not be in thee.
Nitaangamiza uchawi wenu na hamtapiga tena ramli.
13 And Y schal make for to perische thi `grauun ymagis, and Y schal breke togidere fro the myddil of thee thin ymagis, and thou schalt no more worschipe the werkis of thin hondis.
Nitaangamiza vinyago vyenu vya kuchonga na mawe yenu ya ibada yatoke katikati yenu; hamtasujudia tena kazi ya mikono yenu.
14 And Y schal drawe out of the middis of thee thi woodis, and Y schal al to-breke thi citees.
Nitangʼoa nguzo za Ashera katikati yenu na kubomoa miji yenu.
15 And Y schal make in woodnesse and indignacioun veniaunce in alle folkis, whiche herden not.
Nitalipiza kisasi kwa hasira na ghadhabu juu ya mataifa ambayo hayajanitii.”
