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 thyself in troops, O daughter of troops; they lay siege against us: with the rod they smite upon the cheek the judge of Israel.
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 thou, Beth-lechem Ephratah, the least [though] thou be among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from olden times, from most ancient days.
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 who travaileth hath brought forth: then shall the remnant of his brethren return with 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 forward and feed [Israel] through the strength of the Lord, through the excellency of the name of the Lord his God: and they shall abide [safely]; for now shall he be great even unto 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 in this [manner] shall there be peace: If Asshur should come into our land; and if he should tread in our palaces, then will we raise up against him seven shepherds, and eight anointed 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 lay waste the land of Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the gates of its [cities]: thus will he deliver us from Asshur, if he should come into our land, and if he should tread 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 midst of many people like dew from the Lord, like showers upon the herbs, that wait not for man, nor hope for the sons of man.
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 nations, in the midst of many people, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep: who, if he break in, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, while none can deliver.
9 Honjoneñe ambone’ o rafelahi’oo ty fità’o, vaho haitoañe iaby o malaiñ’ Azoo.
High shall thy hand be lifted up above thy adversaries, and all thy 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 on 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 Haitoako ka o rova’ i taneio, vaho fonga hahotrako ambane o kijoly fatratseo;
And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and I will throw down all thy strongholds;
12 Haitoako am-pità’o ze atao famorehañe; ihe tsy ho amam-pisikily ka;
And I will cut off the arts of witchcraft out of thy hand; and soothsayers shalt thou have no more;
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 cut off thy graven images, and thy statues out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more prostrate thyself to the work of thy hands;
14 Hombotako boak’ añivo’o ao ka o samposampo’oo; vaho ho rotsaheko o rova’oo.
And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee; and I will destroy thy enemies.
15 Le hondrohako amo kilakila’ ondatio ty vale-fate an-kabosehañe, naho am-piforoforoañe amo tsy nañaoñeo.
And I will in anger and in fury execute vengeance upon the nations, upon those that have not hearkened.
