Miche 5
1 Alò, rasanble nou an twoup lame, O fi a lame yo. Li fin fè syèj kont nou. Ak gwo baton, yo va frape jij Israël la sou machwè.
Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
2 Men ou menm, Bethléhem Éphrata, pi piti pami fanmi a Juda yo, nan ou va soti de Mwen Youn pou vin chèf an Israël. Lè pou L vin parèt la te etabli depi nan tan ansyen yo, jis rive nan jou etènite yo.
But thou, Beth–lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
3 Akoz sa, Li va abandone yo jiskaske sila ki te gen doulè a, fin pouse fè pitit la. Nan lè sa a, retay nan frè li yo va retounen vin jwenn fis Israël yo.
Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
4 Konsa Li va leve pou mennen bann mouton Li an nan fòs SENYÈ a, nan majeste a non SENYÈ, Bondye Li a. Epi yo va viv, paske nan tan sa a, Li va pwisan jis rive nan dènye pwent latè.
And he shall stand and feed in the strength of Yhwh, in the majesty of the name of Yhwh his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
5 Li va lapè nou lè Asiryen yo vini nan peyi nou an, e lè li va mache nan palè nou yo. Konsa, nou va leve kont li sèt bèje ak uit chèf prensipal.
And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
6 Yo va regle peyi Assyrie ak nepe, ak peyi Nimrod la menm nan pòtay li yo. Konsa, li va delivre nou soti nan men Asiryen an lè l fè envazyon peyi nou an, ak lè li mache anndan fwontyè nou an.
And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
7 Epi konsa, retay Jacob la va nan mitan anpil nasyon pèp yo, tankou lawouze ki sòti nan SENYÈ a, tankou lapli k ap farinen sou zèb, ki p ap tann lòm, ni fè reta pou fis a lòm yo.
And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from Yhwh, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
8 Retay Jacob la va pami nasyon yo, pami anpil pèp; Tankou yon lyon pami bèt forè, tankou yon jèn lyon nan mitan bann mouton; li menm, si l pase, mache, dechire an mòso e p ap gen pèsòn ki pou delivre.
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
9 Ke men ou vin leve kont advèsè Ou yo e lènmi Ou yo va vin koupe retire nèt.
Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
10 “Li va rive, nan jou sa a,”, deklare SENYÈ a, “ke Mwen va retire cheval nou yo nan mitan nou e Mwen va detwi cha lagè nou yo.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Yhwh, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:
11 “Anplis, Mwen va koupe retire vil nan peyi nou yo, e mwen va jete tout miray fòterès nou yo.
And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
12 Mwen va koupe retire zafè tout wanga soti nan men nou, e nou p ap gen divinò ankò.
And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
13 Mwen va retire imaj taye nou yo ak pilye sakre ki pami nou yo, pou nou pa adore zèv men nou yo ankò.
Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
14 Mwen va dechouke Asherim ki pami nou yo, e mwen va detwi vil nou yo.
And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
15 Epi Mwen va egzekite vanjans kòlè ak gwo mekontantman sou nasyon ki pa t koute yo.”
And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
