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 shalt thou 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 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.
But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
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 will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the residue of his brethren shall return unto 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 he shall stand, and shall feed [his flock] in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God: and they shall abide; for now shall he be great unto 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 this [man] shall be [our] 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 principal 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 waste the land of Assyria 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 border.
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 in the midst of many peoples as dew from the LORD, as showers upon the grass; that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for 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 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 Aoka haingaina amin’ ny rafilahinao ny tananao, Ary aoka ho ringana ny fahavalonao rehetra.
Let thine hand be lifted up above thine adversaries, and let all thine enemies be cut off.
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, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots:
11 Hofoanako ny tanàna amin’ ny taninao, Ary harodako ny tanànanao mimanda rehetra;
and I will cut off the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strong holds:
12 Hofoanako tsy hisy amin’ ny tananao ny fankatovanao, Ary tsy hanana mpanandro intsony ianao.
And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no [more] soothsayers:
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 cut off thy graven images and thy pillars out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
14 Hongotako tsy ho eo aminao ny Aserahanao; Ary horavako koa ny tanànanao.
and I will pluck up thine Asherim out of the midst of thee: and I will destroy thy cities.
15 Ary ny fahatezerana sy ny fahavinirana no hamaliako ny firenena izay tsy mihaino.
And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the nations which hearkened not.
