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 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 Ephratah, [though] thou art little among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth to me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] 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 who travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his 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 he will stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now will he be great 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 this [man] will be the 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 its entrances: thus will he deliver [us] from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
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 people as a dew from the LORD, as the 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 gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he goeth through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
9 Aoka haingaina amin’ ny rafilahinao ny tananao, Ary aoka ho ringana ny fahavalonao rehetra.
Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thy adversaries, and all thy enemies shall 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 I 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 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 thy hand; and thou shalt have no [more] sooth-sayers:
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.
Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thy hands.
14 Hongotako tsy ho eo aminao ny Aserahanao; Ary horavako koa ny tanànanao.
And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I 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 heathen, such as they have not heard.
