Miikiyaas 5

1 Yaa magaalaa raayyaa waraanaa, raayyaa kee hiriirsi; nu marfamneerraatii. Isaan uleedhaan maddii bulchaa Israaʼel dhaʼu.

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 “Garuu yaa Beetlihem Efraataa, ati yoo balbala Yihuudaa keessaa xinnoo taate iyyuu, kan bulchaa Israaʼel taʼu, kan jiraachuun isaa durumaa, kan bara duriitii jalqabee ture tokko si keessaa baʼee naaf dhufa.”

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 Kanaafuu Israaʼel hamma isheen ciniinsifachaa jirtu deessee obboloonni isaa warri hafan Israaʼelootatti makamuuf deebiʼanitti kophaa hafti.

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 Inni jabina Waaqayyootiin surraa maqaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa isaatiin dhaabatee bushaayee isaa tikfata. Yeroo sanatti surraan isaa waan daarii lafaa gaʼuuf isaan nagaadhaan jiraatu.

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 Inni nagaa keenya taʼa; yeroo warri Asoor biyya keenya weeraranii daʼannoo keenya keessa baʼanitti nu tiksoota torbaa fi ajajjuuwwan saddeet itti kakaasna.

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 Isaan biyya Asoor goraadeedhaan biyya Naamruudis goraadee luqqifameen bulchu. Yeroo warri Asoor biyya keenya weeraranii daarii keenya keessa baʼanitti, inni warra Asoor sana jalaa nu baasa.

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 Hambaan Yaaqoob namoota hedduu gidduutti akkuma fixeensa Waaqayyo biraa dhufuu, akkuma tiifuu marga irraa kan nama hin eegnee yookaan ilmaan namaa hin eeggannee taʼa.

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 Hambaan Yaaqoob saboota gidduutti, uummata hedduu gidduuttis, akkuma leenca bineensota bosonaa gidduu jiruu, akkuma leenca saafela bushaayee gidduu jiru kan irra ejjetee isaan cicciruutii fi kan namni tokko iyyuu harkaa buusuu hin dandeenyee taʼa.

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 Harki kee moʼannaadhaan diinota keetti kaʼa; amajaajonni kee hundinuu ni barbadeeffamu.

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

10 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Gaafas ani fardeen keessan gidduu keessanii nan balleessa; gaariiwwan keessan kan waraanaas nan barbadeessa.

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 Ani magaalaawwan biyya keessanii nan barbadeessa; daʼannoowwan keessan hundas nan diiga.

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

12 Ani falfaltoota keessan nan balleessa; isinis deebitanii hin mortan.

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

13 Ani fakkiiwwan kee soofamoo fi utubaawwan waaqeffannaa keetii gidduu keetii nan balleessa; ati siʼachi gad jettee hojii harka keetiitiif hin sagaddu.

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 Ani siidaa Aasheeraa gidduu keetii buqqisee magaalaawwan kees nan barbadeessa.

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

15 Ani saboota naaf hin ajajamin irratti aarii fi dheekkamsaan haaloo nan baʼa.”

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