< 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 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 “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 thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall he come forth unto me [who is] to be Ruler in Israel: whose goings forth are from of old, from the days of eternity.)
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 will he give them up, until the time when she which travaileth shall have brought forth: and the residue of his brethren shall return unto 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 shall stand and feed [his flock] in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God. And they shall abide; for now shall he be great even unto 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 [man] shall be 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 princes 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.
And they shall waste the land of Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof; and he shall deliver [us] from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
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 remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, neither waiteth 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 remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
9 Za a ɗaga hannunka cikin nasara a kan abokan gābanka, za a hallaka maƙiyanka duka.
Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
10 “A wannan rana,” in ji Ubangiji “Zan hallaka dawakanku daga cikinku, in kuma rurrushe kekunan yaƙinku.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots.
11 Zan hallaka biranen ƙasarku in yi rugu-rugu da dukan katangunku.
And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and overthrow all thy strongholds.
12 Zan kawar da maitarku, ba za a ƙara yin sihiri ba.
And I will cut off sorceries out of thy hand; and thou shalt 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.
Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy statues out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more bow down to the work of thy hands.
14 Zan tumɓuke daga gare ku ginshiƙan Asheranku in kuma rurrushe biranenku.
And I will pluck up thine Asherahs out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities.
15 Zan yi ramuwa cikin fushi da hasala a kan al’umman da ba su yi mini biyayya ba.”
And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury upon the nations, such as they have not heard of.
