Mika 5
1 Koa mivory ho andiany ianao, ry zanakavavin’ ny andiany! Manao fahirano antsika izy, Mamely tsorakazo ny takolaky ny mpitsaran’ ny Isiraely izy.
Now shall the daughter [of Sion] be completely hedged in: he has laid siege against us: they shall strike the tribes of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
2 Fa ianao, ry Betlehema Efrata, Izay kely tsy tokony ho isan’ ny arivon’ i Joda akory, Dia avy ao aminao no hivoahan’ Izay anankiray ho Mpanapaka ho Ahy ao amin’ ny Isiraely; Hatry ny fahagola no efa nivoahany, dia hatrizay hatrizay.
And you, Bethleem, house of Ephratha, are few in number to be [reckoned] amongst the thousands of Juda; [yet] out of you shall one come forth to me, to be a ruler of Israel; and his goings forth were from the beginning, [even] from eternity.
3 Koa dia hatolony ireny, Ambara-pihavin’ ny fotoana hiterahan’ izay anankiray hiteraka; Ary izay sisa amin’ ny rahalahiny dia hiverina mbamin’ i ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
Therefore shall he appoint them [to wait] till the time of her that travails: she shall bring forth, and [then] the remnant of their brethren shall return to the children of Israel.
4 Ary hitsangana Izy hiandry ny ondriny amin’ ny herin’ i Jehovah. Sy amin’ ny voninahitry ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny, Ka handry fahizay ireny, Fa izao dia ho lehibe hatrany amin’ ny faran’ ny tany Izy.
And the Lord shall stand, and see, and feed his flock with power, and they shall dwell in the glory of the name of the Lord their God: for now shall they be magnified to the ends of the earth.
5 Ary Izy no ho fiadanana; Raha tonga eto amin’ ny tanin-tsika ny Asyriana Ka miditra ao amin’ ny tranobentsika, Dia hanangana mpiandry ondry fito sy mpanapaka valo hisakana azy isika.
And she shall have peace when Assur shall come into your land, and when he shall come up upon your country; and there shall be raised up against him seven shepherds, and eight attacks of men.
6 Ary handany ny tany Asyria amin’ ny sabatra Sy ny tanin’ i Nimroda ao an-tanànany ireo; Ary Izy hamonjy amin’ ny Asyriana, Raha tonga amin’ ny tanintsika sady manitsaka ato amin’ ny fari-tanintsika ireny.
And they shall tend the Assyrian with a sword, and the land of Nebrod with her trench: and he shall deliver [you] from the Assyrian, when he shall come upon your land, and when he shall invade your coasts.
7 Ary izay sisa amin’ i Jakoba ao amin’ ny firenena maro Dia ho tahaka ny ando avy amin’ i Jehovah, Sy tahaka ny ranonorana eny amin’ ny ahitra, Izay tsy manantena mpaniraka, Na miandry zanak’ olombelona.
And the remnant of Jacob shall be amongst the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples, as dew falling from the Lord, and as lambs on the grass; that none may assemble nor resist amongst the sons of men.
8 Ary izay sisa amin’ i Jakoba ao amin’ ny jentilisa, Ao amin’ ny firenena maro, Dia ho tahaka ny liona amin’ ny biby any an’ ala, Sy ho tahaka ny liona tanora ao amin’ ny andian’ ny ondry aman’ osy: Raha mamaky eo izy, dia manitsakitsaka sy mamiravira, ka tsy misy mahavonjy.
And the remnant of Jacob shall be amongst the Gentiles in the midst of many nations, as a lion in the forest amongst cattle, and as a [lion's] whelp amongst the flocks of sheep, even as when he goes through, and selects, and carries off [his prey], and there is none to deliver.
9 Aoka haingaina amin’ ny rafilahinao ny tananao, Ary aoka ho ringana ny fahavalonao rehetra.
Your hand shall be lifted up against them that afflict you, and all your enemies shall be utterly destroyed.
10 Ary amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Dia haringako tsy ho eo aminao intsony ny soavalinao, Ary hofonganiko ny kalesinao,
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] I will utterly destroy the horses out of the midst of you, and destroy your chariots;
11 Hofoanako ny tanàna amin’ ny taninao, Ary harodako ny tanànanao mimanda rehetra;
and I will utterly destroy the cities of your land, and demolish all your strongholds:
12 Hofoanako tsy hisy amin’ ny tananao ny fankatovanao, Ary tsy hanana mpanandro intsony ianao.
and I will utterly destroy your sorceries out of your hands; and there shall be no soothsayers in you.
13 Hofoanako tsy hisy aminao koa ny sampinao voasokitra Sy ny tsangam-baton-tsampinao; Ary tsy hiankohoka eo anatrehan’ ny asan’ ny tananao intsony ianao.
And I will utterly destroy your graven images, and your statues out of the midst of you; and you shall never any more worship the works of your hands.
14 Hongotako tsy ho eo aminao ny Aserahanao; Ary horavako koa ny tanànanao.
And I will cut off the groves out of the midst of you, and I will abolish your cities.
15 Ary ny fahatezerana sy ny fahavinirana no hamaliako ny firenena izay tsy mihaino.
and I will execute vengeance on the heathen in anger and wrath, because they listened not.
