Mika 5
1 Thagathaga mbũtũ ciaku cia mbaara, wee itũũra inene rĩa mbũtũ cia mbaara, nĩgũkorwo matũrigiicĩirie matũũkĩrĩre. Nĩmakaringa mwathi wa Isiraeli rũthĩa-inĩ na rũthanju.
Nowe assemble thy garisons, O daughter of garisons: he hath layed siege against vs: they shall smite the iudge of Israel with a rod vpon the cheeke.
2 “No rĩrĩ, wee Bethilehemu Efiratha, o na harĩa arĩ we mũnini mũno mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ ya Juda, thĩinĩ waku nĩkuo gũkoima ũrĩa ũgaatuĩka mwathi wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa kĩhumo gĩake nĩ gĩa kuuma tene, kuuma mĩndĩ na mĩndĩ.”
And thou Beth-leem Ephrathah art litle to bee among the thousandes of Iudah, yet out of thee shall he come forth vnto me, that shalbe the ruler in Israel: whose goings forth haue bene from the beginning and from euerlasting.
3 Tondũ ũcio, Isiraeli nĩagatiganĩrio nginya ihinda rĩkinye, rĩrĩa ũrĩa ũraarũmwo agaaciara, nao ariũ-a-ithe arĩa angĩ magaacookerera andũ a Isiraeli.
Therefore will he giue them vp, vntill the time that shee which shall beare, shall trauaile: then the remnant of their brethren shall returne vnto the children of Israel.
4 Nĩagookĩra arĩithie rũũru rwa mbũri ciake arĩ na hinya wa Jehova, na ũnene wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wake. Nao nĩmagatũũra marĩ agitĩre, nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ĩyo ũnene wake ũgaakinya o nginya ituri ciothe cia thĩ.
And he shall stand, and feed in the strength of the Lord, and in the maiestie of the Name of the Lord his God, and they shall dwel still: for now shall he be magnified vnto the ends of the world.
5 Nake nĩagatuĩka thayũ wao. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ashuri makaahithũkĩra bũrũri witũ, na matuĩkanĩrie ciĩhitho ciitũ nũmu, nĩtũkamaarahũrĩra arĩithi mũgwanja, o na anene anana mamokĩrĩre.
And hee shall be our peace when Asshur shall come into our lande: when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seuen shepheardes, and eight principall men.
6 Nĩmagaatha bũrũri wa Ashuri na rũhiũ rwa njora; maathe bũrũri wa Nimurodi na hiũ cia njora icomoretwo. Nĩagatũhonokia kuuma kũrĩ Aashuri hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magaatharĩkĩra bũrũri witũ na matuĩkanĩirie mĩhaka-inĩ iitũ.
And they shall destroy Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with their swordes: thus shall he deliuer vs from Asshur, when hee commeth into our lande, and when he shall tread within our borders.
7 Matigari ma Jakubu magaatuĩka ta ime riumĩte harĩ Jehova gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, o na ta mbura ya rũthuthuũ yurĩte nyeki-inĩ, ĩrĩa ĩtarehagwo nĩ mũndũ kana ĩkoirio nĩ andũ.
And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among many people, as a dewe from the Lord, and as the showres vpon the grasse, that waiteth not for man, nor hopeth in the sonnes of Adam.
8 Matigari ma Jakubu magaakoragwo gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, o gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, ta mũrũũthi ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyamũ cia mũtitũ, na ta kĩana kĩa mũrũũthi kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa ndũũru cia ngʼondu, kĩrĩa gĩthiiaga gĩgĩcitihangagia na gĩgĩcitambuuraga na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩcihonokia.
And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among the Gentiles in the middes of many people, as the lyon among the beastes of the forest, and as the lyons whelpe among the flockes of sheepe, who when he goeth thorow, treadeth downe and teareth in pieces, and none can deliuer.
9 Guoko gwaku nĩgũkambarario na igũrũ kuonanie ũhootani harĩ thũ ciaku, na amuku aku othe nĩmakaniinwo.
Thine hand shall bee lift vp vpon thine aduersaries, and all thine enemies shalbe cut off.
10 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, “nĩngananga mbarathi ciaku ikweherere biũ, nacio ngaari ciaku cia ita ndĩcitharie.
And it shall come to passe in that day, sayth the Lord, that I will cut off thine horses out of the middes of thee, and I will destroy thy charets.
11 Nĩngananga matũũra marĩa manene ma bũrũri wanyu, na tharũrie ciĩhitho iria nũmu cianyu ciothe.
And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and ouerthrowe all thy strong holdes.
12 Nĩngananga ũgo wanyu, na mũtigacooka kũragũra rĩngĩ.
And I will cut off thine enchanters out of thine hande: and thou shalt haue no more southsayers.
13 Nĩngananga mĩhianano yanyu ya gwacũhio, na nyanange mahiga manyu marĩa maamũre mũrĩ namo; mũtigacooka kũinamĩrĩra wĩra wa moko manyu rĩngĩ.
Thine idoles also will I cut off, and thine images out of the middes of thee: and thou shalt no more worship the woorke of thine hands.
14 Itugĩ cia Ashera iria mũrĩ nacio nĩngacimunya na momore matũũra manyu manene.
And I wil plucke vp thy groues out of the middes of thee: so will I destroy thine enemies.
15 Nĩngerĩhĩria ndĩ na marakara na mangʼũrĩ kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ iria itanjathĩkagĩra.”
And I will execute a vegeance in my wrath and indignation vpon the heathen, which they haue not heard.
