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.
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 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.
“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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
9 And thin hond schal be reisid on thin enemyes, and alle thin enemyes schulen perische.
Wɔbɛma wo nsa so sɛ woadi wʼatamfoɔ so nkonim, na wɔbɛsɛe wʼatamfoɔ nyinaa.
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.
“Saa ɛda no,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, “Mɛsɛe apɔnkɔ a wowɔ na mabubu wo nteaseɛnam.
11 And Y schal leese the citees of thi lond, and Y schal distrie alle thi strengthis;
Mɛsɛe nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ wʼasase so na madwiri wo banbɔ denden nyinaa agu.
12 and Y schal do awei witchecraftis fro thin hond, and dyuynaciouns schulen not be in thee.
Mɛsɛe wʼabayisɛm na wo ntafowayie to bɛtwa.
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.
Mɛsɛe nsɛsodeɛ a wode wo nsa ayɛ ne aboɔ ahoni a wowɔ no, na worenkoto nsɔre wo nsa ano adwuma bio.
14 And Y schal drawe out of the middis of thee thi woodis, and Y schal al to-breke thi citees.
Mɛtutu Asera afɔrebukyia no afiri wo mu na masɛe wo nkuropɔn.
15 And Y schal make in woodnesse and indignacioun veniaunce in alle folkis, whiche herden not.
Aman a wɔantie mʼasɛm no nyinaa, mede abufuo ne abufuhyeɛ bɛtɔ wɔn so wedeɛ.”
