Mikias 5

1 Ita, agsaganakayo a makigubat, dakayo a tattao ti Jerusalem. Adda pader a naipalawlaw iti siudadyo, ngem pang-urendanto ti sarukod ti pingping ti mangidadaulo ti Israel.

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 Ngem sika, Betlehem Efrata, uray no sika ti kababassitan kadagiti puli ti Juda, maysanto kadakayo ti umay kaniak a mangituray iti Israel, a nagtaud ti kaputonanna ket idi ugma manipud iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana.

(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 Ngarud, iyawatto isuda ti Dios, agingga iti tiempo nga agpasngay ti agpaspasikal, ket agsubli dagiti dadduma a kakabsatna kadagiti tattao ti Israel.

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 Agtakderto isuna ken ipastorna iti arbanna iti bileg ni Yahweh, iti natan-ok a nagan ni Yahweh a Diosna. Agtalinaeddanto, ta agbalinto isuna a natan-ok agingga iti pungto ti daga.

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 Isunanto ti kappiatayo. Inton umay dagiti Assiriano iti dagatayo, inton lumasatda kadagiti sarikedkedtayo, isabattayo kadakuada dagiti pito nga agpaspastor ken walo a mangidada-ulo kadagiti lallaki.

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 Agturayto dagitoy a lallaki ti daga iti Asiria babaen iti kampilan, ken ti daga ni Nimrod babaen iti kampilan kadagiti imada. Isalakannatayonto manipud kadagiti Asirriano, inton umayda iti dagatayo, inton agmartsada nga umuneg kadagiti beddengtayo.

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 Maitiponto dagiti tidda ni Jacob kadagiti adu a bunggoy ti tattao, a kasla linnaaw nga aggapu ken Yahweh, a kasla arbis iti karuutan, a saanda nga aguray ti tao, saan a kadagiti tattao.

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 Maitiponto kadagiti nasion dagiti tidda ni Jacob, maitipondanto kadagiti adu a tattao, a kas iti leon a naitipon kadagiti ayup iti kabakiran, a kasla iti ubing a leon a naitipon kadagiti arban ti karnero. Ket inton maitiponda kadakuada, badde-baddeknanto ida ken rangrangkayennanto ida, ket awanto ti siasinoman a mangispal kadakuada.

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 Maitag-ayto ti imam a mangsuppiat kadagiti kabusormo, ket daytanto ti mangdadael kadakuada.

Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.

10 “Ket mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw,” kuna ni Yahweh, “a parmekekto dagiti kabaliom ken rakrakekto dagiti karwahem.

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 Parmekekto dagiti siudad iti dagam ken rebbaekto dagiti amin a sarikedkedmo.

And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and overthrow all thy strongholds.

12 Dadaelekto ti panangkulkulam iti imam, ket awanton a pulos iti aniaman a mammadles.

And I will cut off sorceries out of thy hand; and thou shalt have no soothsayers.

13 Dadaelekto dagiti kinitikitan a ladawam ken dagiti adigim a bato. Saanmonton a dayawen dagiti aramid dagiti imam.

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 Parutekto dagiti imahe ni Asera iti tengngayo, ken dadaelekto dagiti siudadyo.

And I will pluck up thine Asherahs out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities.

15 Iti nakaro nga unget ken pungtotko, balsekto dagiti nasion a saan a dimngeg.”

And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury upon the nations, such as they have not heard of.
