Mika 5
1 O aʋawɔlawo ƒe du. Ƒo wò aʋawɔlawo nu ƒu elabena futɔwo ɖe to ɖe mí. Woatsɔ ati aƒo tome na Israel ƒe dziɖula.
Hlomisa amabutho akho, wena dolobho lamabutho, ngoba sesivinjezelwe. Bazatshaya umbusi wako-Israyeli esihlathini ngomqwayi.
2 “Ke wò, Betlehem, Efrata, togbɔ be èle sue le Yuda ƒe ƒomeawo dome hã la, mewòe ame si le nye dukɔ Israel kplɔ ge la ado tso nam. Ame si ƒe dzɔtsoƒe metsɔ o elabena eli tso keke blema ke.”
“Kodwa wena Bhethilehema Efrathi, lanxa umncinyane phakathi kwezizwana zakoJuda, kuwe kuzavela ozakuba ngumbusi wako-Israyeli, omdabuko wakhe ngowasekadeni, kusukela ezikhathini zendulo.”
3 Mawu aɖe asi le Israel ŋuti na eƒe futɔwo va se ɖe esime nyɔnu si fu le ɖuɖum la nadzi vi; eye Israelvi siwo susɔ ɖe aboyo me la natrɔ gbɔ akpe ɖe wo nɔviwo ŋuti anɔ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi.
Ngakho u-Israyeli uzadelwa kuze kube yisikhathi sokuthi lowo ohelelwayo abelethe, laba abafowabo bonke baphenduke ukuzahlangana labako-Israyeli.
4 Atsi tsitre akplɔ eƒe alẽhawo le Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ me kple Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ƒe fianyenye me. Eƒe dukɔ la anɔ anyi le ŋutifafa me elabena woade bubu eƒe gãnyenye ŋuti le xexea me godoo.
Uzakuma eluse umhlambi wakhe ngamandla kaThixo, ngobukhosi bebizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe. Bazahlala ngokuvikeleka, ngoba lapho udumo lwakhe luzafika emikhawulweni yomhlaba.
5 Eyae anye woƒe ŋutifafa. Ne Asiria ho aʋa va míaƒe anyigba dzi heto míaƒe mɔ sesẽwo me la, ekema míadɔ alẽkplɔla adre ɖe eŋuti kple kplɔla enyi be woakplɔ mí.
Uzakuba yikuthula kwabo. Lapho umʼAsiriya ehlasela ilizwe lethu edabula phakathi kwezinqaba zethu, sizamvusela abelusi abayisikhombisa, kanye labakhokheli babantu abayisificaminwembili.
6 Woaɖu Asiria dzi kple yi, eye woato eƒe agbowo me age ɖe Nimrɔd ƒe anyigba dzi. Aɖe mí tso Asiria ƒe asime nenye be wòho aʋa va dze míaƒe anyigba dzi be yeaɖo afɔ míaƒe liƒowo dzi.
Bazabusa ilizwe lase-Asiriya ngenkemba, ilizwe likaNimrodi behlome ngenkemba, uzasikhulula kumʼAsiriya lapho ehlasela ilizwe lethu engena phakathi kwemingcele yethu.
7 Yakob ƒe ame mamlɛawo anɔ ame geɖewo dome abe ahũ si dza tso Yehowa gbɔ kple agbafie si dzana ɖe gbe dzi, eye melalaa amegbetɔ alo kpɔa amegbetɔ ƒe asinu o la ene.
Insalela zabakoJakhobe zizakuba phakathi kwezizwe ezinengi njengamazolo avela kuThixo, lanjengemkhizo phezu kotshani, okungalindeli muntu kumbe kuhlalele abantu.
8 Yakob ƒe ame mamlɛawo anɔ dukɔwo kple ame geɖewo dome abe dzata le lã wɔadã siwo le ave me kple dzatavi le alẽhawo dome ene. Dzatavi si le yiyim la, enyea avuzi hevuvua nu eye ame aɖeke mate ŋu axɔ nu le esi o.
Insalela zabakoJakhobe zizakuba phakathi kwezizwe, phakathi kwabantu abanengi, njengesilwane phakathi kwezinyamazana zegusu, lanjengeguqa lesilwane phakathi komhlambi wezimvu, esidlithizayo sidabule ekuhambeni kwaso, kungekho ongahlenga.
9 Àkɔ wò alɔ dzi le dziɖuɖu me ɖe wò futɔwo ŋuti eye àɖu wò ketɔwo katã dzi.
Isandla sakho sizaphakanyiselwa phezulu ngokunqoba izitha zakho, njalo zonke izitha zakho zizachithwa.
10 Yehowa be: “Le gbe ma gbe la, matsrɔ̃ miaƒe sɔwo eye magblẽ miaƒe tasiaɖamwo
“Ngalolosuku,” kutsho uThixo, “ngizabhubhisa amabhiza enu phakathi kwenu ngibhidlize lezinqola zenu zempi.
11 Magbã wò duwo eye mamu wò mɔ sesẽwo aƒu anyi.
Ngizachitha amadolobho elizwe lenu ngibhidlize lezinqaba zenu zonke.
12 Matsi adzewɔwɔ nu le wò anyigba dzi eye màgasa gbesa azɔ o.
Ngizachitha ubuthakathi benu njalo kalisayikukhunkula futhi.
13 Matɔ dzo wò aklamakpakpɛwo eye magbã wò legba siwo nèwɔ kple wò asiwo be màgade ta agu na wo o.
Ngizachitha izithombe zenu ezabazwayo lamatshe enu okukhonza phakathi kwenu; kalisayi kuwukhothamela futhi umsebenzi wezandla zenu.
14 Maho miaƒe aƒeli kɔkɔwo aƒu anyi eye magbã miaƒe duwo.
Ngizasiphula phakathi kwenu izinsika zenu zika-Ashera, ngidilize lamadolobho enu.
15 Mlɔeba la, matrɔ nye dziku akɔ ɖe dukɔ siwo gbe toɖoɖom la dzi eye mabia hlɔ̃ wo.”
Ngizaphindisela ngentukuthelo langolaka ezizweni ezingangilalelanga.”
