Micah 5
1 Nísinsin yìí, kó àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun rẹ jọ, ìwọ ìlú ti o ni ọmọ-ogun, nítorí ó ti fi gbógun dó tì wá. Wọn yóò fi ọ̀pá lu àwọn alákòóso Israẹli ní ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́.
Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
2 “Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Bẹtilẹhẹmu Efrata, bí ìwọ ti jẹ́ kékeré láàrín àwọn ẹ̀yà Juda, nínú rẹ ni ẹni tí yóò jẹ́ olórí ní Israẹli yóò ti jáde tọ̀ mí wá, ìjáde lọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ láti ìgbà àtijọ́, láti ìgbà láéláé.”
But thou, Beth–lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
3 Nítorí náà Israẹli yóò di kíkọ̀sílẹ̀ pátápátá títí di àkókò tí ẹni tí ń rọbí yóò fi bí, àti àwọn ìyókù arákùnrin rẹ̀ yóò fi padà láti darapọ̀ mọ́ àwọn Israẹli.
Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
4 Òun yóò sì dúró, yóò sì máa ṣe olùṣọ́-àgùntàn àwọn agbo ẹran rẹ̀ ní agbára Olúwa, ní ọláńlá orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀. Wọn yóò sì wà láìléwu, nítorí nísinsin yìí ni títóbi rẹ yóò sì dé òpin ayé.
And he shall stand and feed in the strength of Yhwh, in the majesty of the name of Yhwh his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
5 Òun yóò sì jẹ́ àlàáfíà wọn. Nígbà tí àwọn Asiria bá gbógun sí ilẹ̀ wa tí wọ́n sì ń yan lórí odi alágbára wa, nígbà náà ni a ó gbé olùṣọ́-àgùntàn méje dìde sí i, àti olórí ènìyàn mẹ́jọ.
And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
6 Wọn yóò sì fi idà pa ilẹ̀ Asiria run, àti ilẹ̀ Nimrodu pẹ̀lú idà tí a fà. Òun yóò sì gbà wá sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Asiria nígbà tí wọn bá gbógun ti ilẹ̀ wa tí wọ́n sì tún yan wọ ẹnu-bodè wa.
And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
7 Ìyókù Jakọbu yóò sì wà láàrín ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn bí ìrì láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wa, bí ọ̀wààrà òjò lórí koríko, tí kò gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ènìyàn tàbí kò dúró de àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn.
And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from Yhwh, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
8 Ìyókù Jakọbu yóò sì wà láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà ní àárín àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, bí i kìnnìún láàrín àwọn ẹranko inú igbó, bí i ọmọ kìnnìún láàrín agbo àgùntàn, èyí tí ó máa ń fà á ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ, tí ó sì máa ń tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀, tí kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tí ó lè gbà á là.
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
9 A ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè ní ìṣẹ́gun lórí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ sì ni a ó parun.
Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
10 “Ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Èmi yóò pa àwọn ẹṣin rẹ̀ run kúrò láàrín rẹ èmi yóò sì pa àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun rẹ̀ run.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Yhwh, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:
11 Èmi yóò sì pa ilẹ̀ ìlú ńlá rẹ̀ run, èmi ó sì fa gbogbo ibi gíga rẹ̀ ya.
And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
12 Èmi yóò gé ìwà àjẹ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, ìwọ kì yóò sì ní aláfọ̀ṣẹ mọ́.
And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
13 Èmi yóò pa àwọn ère fínfín rẹ̀ run, àti ọwọ̀n rẹ̀ kúrò láàrín rẹ̀; ìwọ kì yóò sì le è foríbalẹ̀ fún iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ mọ́.
Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
14 Èmi yóò fa ère Aṣerah tu kúrò láàrín rẹ̀, èmi yóò sì pa ìlú ńlá rẹ̀ run.
And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
15 Èmi yóò gbẹ̀san ní ìbínú àti ìrunú lórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò ti tẹríba fún mi.”
And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
