< 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 will give yourselves deep wounds for grief; they will put up a wall round us: they will give the judge of Israel a blow on the face with a rod.
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.”
And you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, the least among the families of Judah, out of you one will come to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose going out has been purposed from time past, from the eternal days.
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.
For this cause he will give them up till the time when she who is with child has given birth: then the rest of his brothers will come back 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.
And he will take his place and give food to his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the glory of the name of the Lord his God; and their resting-place will be safe: for now 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.
And this will be our peace: when the Assyrian comes into our country and his feet are in our land, then we will put up against him seven keepers of the flocks and eight chiefs among 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.
And they will make waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the edge of the sword: he will give us salvation from the Assyrian when he comes into our country, when his feet come inside the limit of our land.
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.
And the rest of Jacob will be among the mass of peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which may not be kept back by man, or be waiting 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.
And the rest of Jacob will be among the nations, in the middle of the mass of peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the woods, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep: if he goes through, they will be crushed under foot and pulled to bits, and there will be no saviour.
9 Za a ɗaga hannunka cikin nasara a kan abokan gābanka, za a hallaka maƙiyanka duka.
Your hand is lifted up against those who are against you, and all your haters will be cut off.
10 “A wannan rana,” in ji Ubangiji “Zan hallaka dawakanku daga cikinku, in kuma rurrushe kekunan yaƙinku.
And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that I will take away your horses from you, and will give your war-carriages to destruction:
11 Zan hallaka biranen ƙasarku in yi rugu-rugu da dukan katangunku.
I will have the towns of your land cut off and all your strong places pulled down:
12 Zan kawar da maitarku, ba za a ƙara yin sihiri ba.
I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:
13 Zan sassare dukan gumakan da kuka sassaƙa da keɓaɓɓun duwatsunku a cikinku, nan gaba ba za ku ƙara rusuna wa aikin hannuwanku ba.
And I will have your images and your pillars cut off from you; and you will no longer give worship to the work of your hands.
14 Zan tumɓuke daga gare ku ginshiƙan Asheranku in kuma rurrushe biranenku.
I will have your Asherahs pulled up from among you: and I will send destruction on your images.
15 Zan yi ramuwa cikin fushi da hasala a kan al’umman da ba su yi mini biyayya ba.”
And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.
