मिका 5
1 अब, ए सेनाहरूका छोरी, युद्धको निम्ति पङ्क्तिमा आओ, किनभने सेनाहरूले सहरको वरिपरि घेरा लगाएका छन्, र तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका न्यायकर्ताको गालामा छडीले हिर्काउनेछन् ।
“But now, [you people of Jerusalem, gather your troops together, ] [because even though] you have a wall [around your city to protect it], [enemy soldiers] are surrounding the city. And [soon] they will strike your leader on his face, with a rod.”
2 तर, बेथलेहेम एप्राता, तँ यहूदाका वंशहरूमा सानो भए तापनि, तेरै बिचबाट एक जना इस्राएलमा शासन गर्न मकहाँ आउनेछ, जसको सुरुवात प्राचीन समयदेखि, अर्थात् सदादेखि नै भएको थियो ।
But you [people of] [APO] Bethlehem in Ephrathah [district need to know that] even though your [town] is a very small one among all the towns in Judah, someone who will rule Israel will be born in your town. [He will be] someone whose family has existed a very long time ago [DOU].
3 यसैकारण प्रसववेदनामा भएकीले बच्चा नजन्माएसम्म, र त्यसका बाँकी रहेकाहरू इस्राएलका मानिसकहाँ नफर्केसम्म परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई त्याग्नुहुनेछ ।
[But now] you people of Israel will be conquered by your enemies; [but it will be for only a short time], like [MET] [the short time that] women have great pain while their babies are being born. After that, your fellow-countrymen who were (exiled/forced to go to other countries) will return to their own country.
4 परमप्रभुको शक्ति, र परमप्रभु उहाँका परमेश्वरको नाउँको महिमामा उहाँ खडा भएर आफ्नो बगालको हेरचाह गर्नुहुन्छ । तिनीहरू बाँकी रहनेछन्, किनकि पृथ्वीको कुना-कुनासम्म उहाँको महानता रहिरहनेछ ।
And that man who will be ruling [there in Jerusalem] will stand and lead his people well, because Yahweh, his God, will cause him to be strong and greatly honored. Then the people whom he rules will live [in Jerusalem] safely; he will be greatly honored by people all over the earth, [so no one will dare to attack Jerusalem].
5 किनभने हाम्रो शान्तिचाहिँ यो हुनेछ - जब अश्शूरीहरू हाम्रो देशभित्र प्रवेश गर्नेछन्, र जब तिनीहरू हाम्रा किल्लाहरूतर्फ अगि बढ्छन्, त्यसबेला हामी तिनीहरूका विरुद्ध सात गोठाला र मानिसहरूमाथि आठ अगुवा खडा गर्नेछौँ ।
And he will cause things to go well [for his people]. When [the army of] Assyria attacks our country and breaks though our fortresses, we will appoint (seven or eight/several) leaders [to lead our army] to fight against them.
6 तिनीहरूले अश्शूर देश र निम्रोदको देशलाई तिनीहरूको प्रवेशद्धारमा तरवारद्धारा नियन्त्रण गर्नेछन् । अश्शूरीहरू हाम्रो देशमा आउँदा, र तिनीहरू हाम्रो सिमानाभित्र अगि बढ्दा उहाँले हामीलाई तिनीहरूबाट बचाउनुहुनेछ ।
With their swords [our army] will defeat the [army of] Assyria, [whose capital was founded by] Nimrod [long ago]. So our army will rescue us from the Assyrian [army] when they invade our country [DOU].
7 याकूबका बाँकी रहेकाहरू धेरै जातिहरूका माझमा हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू परमप्रभुबाटको शीत, र घाँसमा पर्ने झरीझैँ हुन् जसले कुनै मानिस, वा मानिस जातिका सन्तानलाई पर्खंदैनन् ।
The (descendants of Jacob/Israelis) who survive will be [a blessing] to the people of other nations, like [SIM] dew and rain sent by Yahweh do good to the grass. The Israelis will not trust in humans [to help them]; instead, they will rely on Yahweh.
8 याकूबका बाँकी रहेकाहरू राष्ट्रहरू र जातिहरूका माझमा हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू जङ्गलका पशुहरूका बिचमा भएको एउटा सिंहझैँ, र भेडाहरूको बगालमा एउटा जवान सिंहझैँ हुन् । जब त्यो तिनीहरूका बिचबाट जान्छ, त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई कुल्चनेछ र तिनीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछ, अनि तिनीहरूलाई बचाउने त्यहाँ कोही हुनेछैन ।
In the midst of [their enemies in] many people-groups [DOU], the descendants of Jacob who remain alive will be like [SIM] a lion among the [other] wild beasts of the forest, like [SIM] a young lion who goes among a flock of sheep and pounces [on one] and (mauls it/tears it to pieces), and no one will be able to rescue [that sheep].
9 तेरो हात तेरा शत्रुहरूका विरुद्ध उठ्नेछन् र त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछ ।
You Israelis will defeat [MTY] all your enemies and completely destroy them.
10 परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “त्यस दिन यस्तो हुनेछ । म तिमीहरूका बिचमा तिमीहरूका घोडाहरूलाई नाश गर्नेछु र तिमीहरूका रथहरू भत्काइदिनेछु ।
Yahweh says, “At that time, I will destroy [you Israeli people’s] horses [that your soldiers use in war] and your chariots.
11 तेरो भुमिका सहरहरूलाई म नाश गर्नेछु र तिमीहरूका गढीहरूलाई भत्काइदिनेछु ।
I will tear down your city [walls] and destroy all your fortified cities.
12 म तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएको तन्त्रमन्त्र नष्ट पार्नेछु, र तिमीहरूका बिचमा कोही पनि भविष्यवक्ताहरू हुनेछैनन् ।
I will get rid of all those among you who practice magic and the (fortune-tellers/those who say that they can predict what will happen in the future).
13 म तिमीहरूले हातले बनाएका मुर्तिहरू र तिमीहरूका ढुङ्गाका स्तम्भहरूलाई नाश गर्नेछु । अबदेखि तिमीहरूले आफ्ना हातले बनाएका वस्तुहरूलाई पुज्नेछैनौ ।
I will destroy [all] your idols and [sacred stone] pillars, and then you will no longer bow down [and worship] things that you yourselves [SYN] have made.
14 म तिमीहरूका बिचबाट अशेराका खम्बाहरू उखेलिदिनेछु, र म तिमीहरूका सहरहरू नाश गर्नेछु ।
I will get rid of your poles [that represent the goddess] Asherah, and [I will also] destroy all your idols.
15 मेरा कुराहरू नसुन्ने जातिहरूमा म रिस र क्रोधमा प्रतिशोद ल्याउनेछु ।”
And because I will be very angry, I will [also] punish [the people of] all the nations who have not obeyed [me].”
