Mika 5

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

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 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.

And you, Bethleem, house of Ephratha, are few in number to be [reckoned] among 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 among 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 among 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 midst of many nations, as a lion in the forest among cattle, and as a [lion's] whelp among the flocks of sheep, even as when he goes through, and selects, and carries off [his prey], and there is none to deliver.

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

Your hand shall be lifted up against them that afflict you, and all your enemies shall be utterly destroyed.

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 utterly destroy the horses out of the midst of you, and destroy your chariots;

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

and I will utterly destroy the cities of your land, and demolish all your strongholds:

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

and I will utterly destroy your sorceries out of your hands; and there shall be no soothsayers in you.

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

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

And I will cut off the groves out of the midst of you, and I will abolish your cities.

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

and I will execute vengeance on the heathen in anger and wrath, because they listened not.
