Mika 5

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

Nowe assemble thy garisons, O daughter of garisons: he hath layed siege against vs: they shall smite the iudge of Israel with a rod vpon the cheeke.

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.”

And thou Beth-leem Ephrathah art litle to bee among the thousandes of Iudah, yet out of thee shall he come forth vnto me, that shalbe the ruler in Israel: whose goings forth haue bene from the beginning and from euerlasting.

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

Therefore will he giue them vp, vntill the time that shee which shall beare, shall trauaile: then the remnant of their brethren shall returne vnto 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.

And he shall stand, and feed in the strength of the Lord, and in the maiestie of the Name of the Lord his God, and they shall dwel still: for now shall he be magnified vnto the ends of the world.

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

And hee shall be our peace when Asshur shall come into our lande: when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seuen shepheardes, and eight principall men.

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

And they shall destroy Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with their swordes: thus shall he deliuer vs from Asshur, when hee commeth into our lande, and when he shall tread within our borders.

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

And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among many people, as a dewe from the Lord, and as the showres vpon the grasse, that waiteth not for man, nor hopeth in the sonnes of Adam.

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.

And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among the Gentiles in the middes of many people, as the lyon among the beastes of the forest, and as the lyons whelpe among the flockes of sheepe, who when he goeth thorow, treadeth downe and teareth in pieces, and none can deliuer.

9 Ruoko rwenyu ruchasimudzwa mukukunda uye vadzivisi venyu vose vachaparadzwa.

Thine hand shall bee lift vp vpon thine aduersaries, and all thine enemies shalbe cut off.

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

And it shall come to passe in that day, sayth the Lord, that I will cut off thine horses out of the middes of thee, and I will destroy thy charets.

11 Ndichaparadza maguta enyika yenyu uye ndichaputsa nhare dzenyu dzose.

And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and ouerthrowe all thy strong holdes.

12 Ndichaparadza uroyi hwako uye hauchazovizve navavuki.

And I will cut off thine enchanters out of thine hande: and thou shalt haue no more southsayers.

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

Thine idoles also will I cut off, and thine images out of the middes of thee: and thou shalt no more worship the woorke of thine hands.

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

And I wil plucke vp thy groues out of the middes of thee: so will I destroy thine enemies.

15 Ndichatsiva nokutsamwa nehasha kundudzi dzisina kunditeerera.”

And I will execute a vegeance in my wrath and indignation vpon the heathen, which they haue not heard.
