Miikiyaas 5
1 Yaa magaalaa raayyaa waraanaa, raayyaa kee hiriirsi; nu marfamneerraatii. Isaan uleedhaan maddii bulchaa Israaʼel dhaʼu.
Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on 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.”
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small amongst the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.
3 Kanaafuu Israaʼel hamma isheen ciniinsifachaa jirtu deessee obboloonni isaa warri hafan Israaʼelootatti makamuuf deebiʼanitti kophaa hafti.
Therefore he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labour gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will 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.
He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. They will live, for then he will be great 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.
He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders 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.
They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its gates. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.
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.
The remnant of Jacob will be amongst many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, that don’t wait for man nor wait for 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.
The remnant of Jacob will be amongst the nations, amongst many peoples, like a lion amongst the animals of the forest, like a young lion amongst the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.
9 Harki kee moʼannaadhaan diinota keetti kaʼa; amajaajonni kee hundinuu ni barbadeeffamu.
Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.
10 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Gaafas ani fardeen keessan gidduu keessanii nan balleessa; gaariiwwan keessan kan waraanaas nan barbadeessa.
“It will happen in that day”, says the LORD, “that I will cut off your horses from amongst you and will destroy your chariots.
11 Ani magaalaawwan biyya keessanii nan barbadeessa; daʼannoowwan keessan hundas nan diiga.
I will cut off the cities of your land and will tear down all your strongholds.
12 Ani falfaltoota keessan nan balleessa; isinis deebitanii hin mortan.
I will destroy witchcraft from your hand. You shall have no soothsayers.
13 Ani fakkiiwwan kee soofamoo fi utubaawwan waaqeffannaa keetii gidduu keetii nan balleessa; ati siʼachi gad jettee hojii harka keetiitiif hin sagaddu.
I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars from amongst you; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
14 Ani siidaa Aasheeraa gidduu keetii buqqisee magaalaawwan kees nan barbadeessa.
I will uproot your Asherah poles from amongst you; and I will destroy your cities.
15 Ani saboota naaf hin ajajamin irratti aarii fi dheekkamsaan haaloo nan baʼa.”
I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations that didn’t listen.”
