Mika 5

1 Unganidza mauto ako, iwe guta ramauto, nokuti takombwa nomuvengi. Vacharova mutongi waIsraeri netsvimbo padama.

Now, O daughter of troops, mobilize your troops; for a siege is laid against us! With a rod they will strike the cheek of the judge of Israel.

2 “Asi iwe, Bheterehema Efurata, kunyange uri muduku pakati pamarudzi aJudha, kwauri kuchandibudira mumwe achava mutongi pamusoro peIsraeri, mavambo ake ndeakare kare, kubva pamazuva akare kare.”

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come forth for Me One to be ruler over Israel — One whose origins are of old, from the days of eternity.

3 Naizvozvo Israeri achasiyiwa kusvikira panguva iyo, iye anorwadziwa azvara uye hama dzake dzose dzadzoka kuzobatana navaIsraeri.

Therefore Israel will be abandoned until she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of His brothers will return to the children of Israel.

4 Achamira agofudza boka rake musimba raJehovha, muukuru hwezita raJehovha Mwari wake. Uye vachagara norugare, nokuti ipapo kukura kwake kuchasvika kumagumo enyika.

He will stand and shepherd His flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majestic name of the LORD His God. And they will dwell securely, for then His greatness will extend to the ends of the earth.

5 Uye iye achava rugare rwavo. MuAsiria paacharwisa nyika yedu agofamba achipfuura nomunhare dzedu, tichamumutsira vafudzi vanomwe kuti vamurwise kunyange vatungamiri vasere vavanhu.

And He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land and tramples our citadels. We will raise against it seven shepherds, even eight leaders of men.

6 Vachatonga nyika yeAsiria nomunondo, nyika yaNimurodhi nomunondo wakavhomorwa. Achatirwira kubva kumuAsiria paachapinda munyika yedu nokupinda pamiganhu yedu.

And they will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the blade drawn. So He will deliver us when Assyria invades our land and marches into our borders.

7 Vakasara vaJakobho vachava pakati pamarudzi akawanda, sedova rinobva kuna Jehovha, sokunaya kwemvura pauswa, zvisingamiriri munhu kana kugaririra vanhu.

Then the remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, which do not wait for man or linger for mankind.

8 Vakasara vaJakobho vachava pakati pendudzi, pakati poruzhinji rwamarudzi, seshumba pakati pezvikara zvesango, seshumba duku pakati pamapoka amakwai, inotsika uye inobvambura ichienda, pasina anogona kununura.

Then the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which tramples and tears as it passes through, with no one to rescue them.

9 Ruoko rwenyu ruchasimudzwa mukukunda uye vadzivisi venyu vose vachaparadzwa.

Your hand will be lifted over your foes, and all your enemies will be cut off.

10 “Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ndichaparadza mabhiza enyu pakati penyu uye ndichapwanya ngoro dzenyu.

“In that day,” declares the LORD, “I will remove your horses from among you and wreck your chariots.

11 Ndichaparadza maguta enyika yenyu uye ndichaputsa nhare dzenyu dzose.

I will remove the cities of your land and tear down all your strongholds.

12 Ndichaparadza uroyi hwako uye hauchazovizve navavuki.

I will cut the sorceries from your hand, and you will have no fortune-tellers.

13 Ndichaparadza zvifananidzo zvenyu zvakavezwa neshongwe dzenyu pakati penyu; hamuchazokotamiri kubasa ramaoko enyu.

I will also cut off the carved images and sacred pillars from among you, so that you will no longer bow down to the work of your own hands.

14 Ndichadzura kubva pakati penyu matanda aAshera uye ndichaparadza maguta enyu.

I will root out the Asherah poles from your midst and demolish your cities.

15 Ndichatsiva nokutsamwa nehasha kundudzi dzisina kunditeerera.”

I will take vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that have not obeyed Me.”
