Maika 5

1 Ko eni, ke ke tānaki fakataha koe ʻi he ngaahi matatau, ʻe ʻofefine ʻoe ngaahi matatau: kuo ne fakanofo mai ʻae tau kiate kitautolu: te nau taaʻi ʻae fakamaau ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaki ʻae meʻa tā ʻi hono kouʻahe.

Now you will cut yourself O daughter of troop[s] a siege someone has set on us with rod they will strike on the cheek [the] judge of Israel.

2 Ka ko koe Petelihema Efalata, neongo ʻoku ke siʻi hifo ʻi he ngaahi toko afe ʻo Siuta, ka ʻe haʻu ia meiate koe kiate au, ʻaia ʻe pule ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo talu mei muʻa ʻene hāʻele atu, mei he kamataʻanga.”

And you O Beth-lehem Ephrathah [are] insignificant to be among [the] families of Judah from you for me someone will go out to be ruler over Israel and origins his [are] from antiquity from days of antiquity.

3 Ko ia te ne tukuange ʻakinautolu, kaeʻoua ke hoko ʻae kuonga ʻe fāʻele ʻaia naʻe langā: pea ʻe toki foki atu ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae toe ʻo hono kāinga.

Therefore he will deliver up them until a time [when one who is] about to give birth she has given birth and [the] rest of brothers his they will return! with [the] people of Israel.

4 Pea te ne tuʻu ʻo kai ʻi he mālohi ʻo Sihova, ʻi he nāunau ʻoe huafa ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua; pea te nau nofomaʻu: koeʻuhi ʻe toki hoko ia ʻo lahi, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.

And he will stand and he will shepherd by [the] strength of Yahweh by [the] majesty of [the] name of Yahweh God his and they will remain for now he will be great to [the] ends of [the] earth.

5 Pea ko e tangata ni ʻe hoko ko e melino; ʻoka hoko mai ʻae ʻAsilia ki hotau fonua, pea ʻoka ne ka laka ia ʻi hotau ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki, te tau fokotuʻu kiate ia ʻae kau tauhi sipi ʻe toko fitu, mo e kau tangata tuʻu ki muʻa ʻe toko valu.

And he will be this [one] peace Assyria - for it will come in land our and for it will tread on fortresses our and we will raise up on him seven shepherds and eight princes of man.

6 Pea te nau maumau ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻae fonua ʻo ʻAsilia, pea mo e fonua ʻo Nimilote, ʻi hono ngaahi hūʻanga: ʻe pehē ʻene fakahaofi kitautolu mei he ʻAsilia, ʻoka ne ka haʻu ia ki hotau fonua, pea ʻoka ne ka tuʻu ia ʻi hotau ngaahi mata fonua.

And they will shepherd [the] land of Assyria with the sword and [the] land of Nimrod at entrances its and he will deliver [us] from Assyria if it will come in land our and for it will tread in territory our.

7 Pea ko e toenga ʻo Sēkope ʻe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi kakai, hangē ko e hahau meia Sihova, hangē ko e ʻuha ʻi he mohuku, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ke tatali ki he tangata, pe tupu koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.

And it will be - [the] remnant of Jacob in [the] midst of peoples many like dew from with Yahweh like copious showers on vegetation which not it waits for anyone and not it waits for [the] children of humankind.

8 Pea ko e toenga ʻo Sēkope ʻe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kau Senitaile, ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe ngaahi kakai, ʻo hangē ha laione ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fanga manu ʻoe vao ʻakau, hangē ha laione mui ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fanga sipi; ʻaia, ka ne ka laka atu ia ʻoku ne malaki hifo mo haehae foki, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe fakahaofi.

And it will be [the] remnant of Jacob among the nations in [the] midst of peoples many like a lion among [the] animals of [the] forest like a young lion (among flocks of *L(abh)*) sheep which if it has passed through and it tramples and it tears and there not [is] a deliverer.

9 ‌ʻE hiki hake ho nima ki ho ngaahi fili, pea ʻe motuhi ho kau fili kotoa pē.

May it be lifted up hand your above opponents your and all enemies your may they be cut off.

10 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u motuhi hoʻo fanga hoosi mei ho lotolotonga, pea te u maumauʻi hoʻo ngaahi saliote.

And it will be in the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will cut off horses your from midst your and I will destroy chariots your.

11 Pea te u motuhi ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ho fonua, mo holoki hifo ho ngaahi potu mālohi kotoa pē:

And I will cut off [the] cities of land your and I will tear down all fortresses your.

12 Pea te u motuhi mei ho nima ʻae kau fie mana loi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke kei maʻu ʻae kau kikite loi:

And I will cut off sorceries from hand your and soothsayers not they will belong to you.

13 Pea mo hoʻo ngaahi tamapua kuo tongi foki te u motuhi, mo hoʻo ngaahi tamapua tuʻumaʻu meiate koe; pea ʻe ʻikai te ke toe lotu ki he ngāue ʻa ho nima.

And I will cut off images your and sacred pillars your from midst your and not you will bow down again to [the] work of hands your.

14 Pea te u taʻaki mei ho lotolotonga ʻae ngaahi vao tapu: ʻe pehē ʻeku fakaʻauha ho ngaahi kolo.

And I will pluck up Asherah poles your from midst your and I will destroy cities your.

15 Pea te u fai ʻae tautea ʻi he ʻita mo e lili ki he hiteni, ʻi he anga ko ia ʻoku teʻeki ai te nau fanongo ai.”

And I will do in anger and in rage vengeance with the nations which not they have obeyed.
