Mika 5

1 Mifanontona am-pirimboñañe, ry anak’ ampelam-pirimboñañeo fa vinandro’ iareo tika; nilafàe’ iareo an-kobaiñe ty fiambina’ i Mpizaka’ Israeley.

Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops: he has laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

2 Fa ihe ry Betlekheme Efràtae, ty loho kede añivo’ o arivo lahi’ Iehodao; boak’ ama’o ty hionjoñe ho ahy, ty ho mpifehe’ Israele, ie haehae añe o fionjona’eo, faha-tsietoimoneñe añe.

But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, though you be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall he come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

3 Aa le hatolo’e añe iereo ampara’ te nahatoly anake i mitsongoy, himpoly amy zao ty sehanga’ o longo’eo mb’amo ana’ Israeleo mb’eo.

Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travails has brought forth: then the remnant of his brothers shall return to the children of Israel.

4 Hiongake re, le hampiandraze’e ami’ty haozara’ Iehovà, ami’ty volonahe’ i Tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ey; hiaiñ’ añoleñañe iereo, amy t’ie ho ra’elahy pak’añ’olo’ ty tane toy henane zay.

And he shall 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 shall he be great to the ends of the earth.

5 Ie ty ho fañanintsin-tika, naho maname ty tanen-tika o nte-Asoreo, handialia o anjomban-tikañeo, le hampitroaren-tika ama’e ty mpiarake fito, naho ty mpiaolo valo boak’ am’ondatio.

And this man shall 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 Harahe’ iereo am-pibara ty tane Asore, naho ty tane’ i Nimrode amo lalambei’eo naho havotso’e amo nte-Asoreo tika, ie mivotrak’ an-tanen-tika ao, mandialia añate’ o efe-tanen-tikañeo.

And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he comes into our land, and when he treads within our borders.

7 Ho añivo’ o kilakila’ondatio añe ty sehanga’ Iakobe, hoe zono boak’ am’ Iehovà, hoe oran-joba amo ahetseo, tsy nitamà’ ondaty, tsy niliñisa’ o ana’ondatio.

And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the middle of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers on the grass, that tarries not for man, nor waits for the sons of men.

8 Ho am-po’ o fifeheañeo ty sehanga’ Iakobe añivo’ o kilakila’ ondatio ao, hanahake ty liona añ’ate’ o bibin-alao, naho ty ana-diona añivo’ o añondry lia-raikeo ao, ie miranga ro mandialia naho mandrimidrimitse vaho tsy eo ty handrombake.

And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the middle of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treads down, and tears in pieces, and none can deliver.

9 Honjoneñe ambone’ o rafelahi’oo ty fità’o, vaho haitoañe iaby o malaiñ’ Azoo.

Your hand shall be lifted up on your adversaries, and all your enemies shall be cut off.

10 Ie amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, te hapitsoko añivo’o ao o soavala’oo, vaho ho rotsaheko o sarete’oo.

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD, that I will cut off your horses out of the middle of you, and I will destroy your chariots:

11 Haitoako ka o rova’ i taneio, vaho fonga hahotrako ambane o kijoly fatratseo;

And I will cut off the cities of your land, and throw down all your strong holds:

12 Haitoako am-pità’o ze atao famorehañe; ihe tsy ho amam-pisikily ka;

And I will cut off witchcrafts out of your hand; and you shall have no more soothsayers:

13 Ho firaeko o hatae sinoki’oo, naho o vato mitroatse añivo’o aoo, soa tsy hitalahoa’o ka o satam-pità’oo.

Your graven images also will I cut off, and your standing images out of the middle of you; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.

14 Hombotako boak’ añivo’o ao ka o samposampo’oo; vaho ho rotsaheko o rova’oo.

And I will pluck up your groves out of the middle of you: so will I destroy your cities.

15 Le hondrohako amo kilakila’ ondatio ty vale-fate an-kabosehañe, naho am-piforoforoañe amo tsy nañaoñeo.

And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury on the heathen, such as they have not heard.
