< Mika 5 >
1 Ki tattara sojojinki, ya ke birnin mayaƙa, gama an kewaye mu da yaƙi. Za su bugi kumatun mai mulkin Isra’ila da sandar ƙarfe.
Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
2 “Amma ke, Betlehem ta Efrata, ko da yake ke ƙarama ce daga cikin zuriyarki a Yahuda, daga cikinki wani zai zo domina wanda zai yi mulkin Isra’ila, wanda asalinsa tun fil azal ne.”
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.
3 Saboda haka za a yashe Isra’ila har sai wadda take naƙuda ta haihu sauran’yan’uwansa kuma sun dawo su haɗu da Isra’ilawa.
Therefore he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.
4 Zai tsaya yă yi kiwon garkensa da ƙarfin Ubangiji, cikin girman sunan Ubangiji Allahnsa. Za su kuma zauna lafiya, gama girmansa za tă kai har ƙarshen duniya.
He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. They will live, for then he will be great to the ends of the earth.
5 Zai kuma zama salamarsu. Sa’ad da Assuriyawa suka kawo wa ƙasarmu hari suka tattake kagarunmu, za mu tā da makiyaya bakwai, har ma shugabannin mutane takwas su yi gāba da su.
He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders of men.
6 Za su yi mulkin ƙasar Assuriya da takobi, ƙasar Nimrod kuma da zaran takobi. Zai cece mu daga hannun Assuriyawa sa’ad da suka kawo wa ƙasarmu hari suka kuma tattake zuwa cikin iyakokinmu.
They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its gates. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.
7 Raguwar Yaƙub za tă kasance a tsakiyar mutane masu yawa kamar raɓa daga Ubangiji, kamar yayyafi a kan ciyawa, wanda ba ya jiran mutum ko kuma yă dakata wa ɗan adam.
The remnant of Jacob will be among many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, that do not wait for man nor wait for the sons of men.
8 Raguwar Yaƙub za tă kasance tare da al’ummai, a cikin mutane masu yawa, kamar zaki a cikin sauran namun jeji, kamar ɗan zaki cikin garken tumaki, wanda yake tattaka yă kuma yi kaca-kaca da su sa’ad da yake ratsa a cikinsu, ba kuwa wanda zai cece su.
The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, among many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.
9 Za a ɗaga hannunka cikin nasara a kan abokan gābanka, za a hallaka maƙiyanka duka.
Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.
10 “A wannan rana,” in ji Ubangiji “Zan hallaka dawakanku daga cikinku, in kuma rurrushe kekunan yaƙinku.
“It will happen in that day”, says the LORD, “that I will cut off your horses from among you and will destroy your chariots.
11 Zan hallaka biranen ƙasarku in yi rugu-rugu da dukan katangunku.
I will cut off the cities of your land and will tear down all your strongholds.
12 Zan kawar da maitarku, ba za a ƙara yin sihiri ba.
I will destroy witchcraft from your hand. You shall have no soothsayers.
13 Zan sassare dukan gumakan da kuka sassaƙa da keɓaɓɓun duwatsunku a cikinku, nan gaba ba za ku ƙara rusuna wa aikin hannuwanku ba.
I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars from among you; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
14 Zan tumɓuke daga gare ku ginshiƙan Asheranku in kuma rurrushe biranenku.
I will uproot your Asherah poles from among you; and I will destroy your cities.
15 Zan yi ramuwa cikin fushi da hasala a kan al’umman da ba su yi mini biyayya ba.”
I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations that did not listen.”
