< مِيخَا 5 >
اَلْآنَ تَتَجَيَّشِينَ يَا بِنْتَ ٱلْجُيُوشِ. قَدْ أَقَامَ عَلَيْنَا مِتْرَسَةً. يَضْرِبُونَ قَاضِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِقَضِيبٍ عَلَى خَدِّهِ. | ١ 1 |
Now shall the daughter [of Sion] be completely hedged in: he has laid siege against us: they shall strike the tribes of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
«أَمَّا أَنْتِ يَا بَيْتَ لَحْمِ أَفْرَاتَةَ، وَأَنْتِ صَغِيرَةٌ أَنْ تَكُونِي بَيْنَ أُلُوفِ يَهُوذَا، فَمِنْكِ يَخْرُجُ لِي ٱلَّذِي يَكُونُ مُتَسَلِّطًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَخَارِجُهُ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، مُنْذُ أَيَّامِ ٱلْأَزَلِ». | ٢ 2 |
And you, Bethleem, house of Ephratha, are few in number to be [reckoned] amongst the thousands of Juda; [yet] out of you shall one come forth to me, to be a ruler of Israel; and his goings forth were from the beginning, [even] from eternity.
لِذَلِكَ يُسَلِّمُهُمْ إِلَى حِينَمَا تَكُونُ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ وَالِدَةٌ، ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُ بَقِيَّةُ إِخْوَتِهِ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣ 3 |
Therefore shall he appoint them [to wait] till the time of her that travails: she shall bring forth, and [then] the remnant of their brethren shall return to the children of Israel.
وَيَقِفُ وَيَرْعَى بِقُدْرَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بِعَظَمَةِ ٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ، وَيَثْبُتُونَ. لِأَنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ يَتَعَظَّمُ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٤ 4 |
And the Lord shall stand, and see, and feed his flock with power, and they shall dwell in the glory of the name of the Lord their God: for now shall they be magnified to the ends of the earth.
وَيَكُونُ هَذَا سَلَامًا. إِذَا دَخَلَ أَشُّورُ فِي أَرْضِنَا، وَإِذَا دَاسَ فِي قُصُورِنَا، نُقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ سَبْعَةَ رُعَاةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةً مِنْ أُمَرَاءِ ٱلنَّاسِ، | ٥ 5 |
And she shall have peace when Assur shall come into your land, and when he shall come up upon your country; and there shall be raised up against him seven shepherds, and eight attacks of men.
فَيَرْعَوْنَ أَرْضَ أَشُّورَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَرْضَ نِمْرُودَ فِي أَبْوَابِهَا، فَيَنْفُذُ مِنْ أَشُّورَ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَرْضَنَا وَإِذَا دَاسَ تُخُومَنَا. | ٦ 6 |
And they shall tend the Assyrian with a sword, and the land of Nebrod with her trench: and he shall deliver [you] from the Assyrian, when he shall come upon your land, and when he shall invade your coasts.
وَتَكُونُ بَقِيَّةُ يَعْقُوبَ فِي وَسَطِ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ كَٱلنَّدَى مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَٱلْوَابِلِ عَلَى ٱلْعُشْبِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَنْتَظِرُ إِنْسَانًا وَلَا يَصْبِرُ لِبَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ. | ٧ 7 |
And the remnant of Jacob shall be amongst the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples, as dew falling from the Lord, and as lambs on the grass; that none may assemble nor resist amongst the sons of men.
وَتَكُونُ بَقِيَّةُ يَعْقُوبَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ فِي وَسَطِ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ كَٱلْأَسَدِ بَيْنَ وُحُوشِ ٱلْوَعْرِ، كَشِبْلِ ٱلْأَسَدِ بَيْنَ قُطْعَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ، ٱلَّذِي إِذَا عَبَرَ يَدُوسُ وَيَفْتَرِسُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُنْقِذُ. | ٨ 8 |
And the remnant of Jacob shall be amongst the Gentiles in the midst of many nations, as a lion in the forest amongst cattle, and as a [lion's] whelp amongst the flocks of sheep, even as when he goes through, and selects, and carries off [his prey], and there is none to deliver.
لِتَرْتَفِعْ يَدُكَ عَلَى مُبْغِضِيكَ وَيَنْقَرِضْ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِكَ. | ٩ 9 |
Your hand shall be lifted up against them that afflict you, and all your enemies shall be utterly destroyed.
«وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنِّي أَقْطَعُ خَيْلَكَ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ، وَأُبِيدُ مَرْكَبَاتِكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] I will utterly destroy the horses out of the midst of you, and destroy your chariots;
وَأَقْطَعُ مُدُنَ أَرْضِكَ، وَأَهْدِمُ كُلَّ حُصُونِكَ. | ١١ 11 |
and I will utterly destroy the cities of your land, and demolish all your strongholds:
وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلسِّحْرَ مِنْ يَدِكَ، وَلَا يَكُونُ لَكَ عَائِفُونَ. | ١٢ 12 |
and I will utterly destroy your sorceries out of your hands; and there shall be no soothsayers in you.
وَأَقْطَعُ تَمَاثِيلَكَ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةَ وَأَنْصَابَكَ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ، فَلَا تَسْجُدُ لِعَمَلِ يَدَيْكَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ. | ١٣ 13 |
And I will utterly destroy your graven images, and your statues out of the midst of you; and you shall never any more worship the works of your hands.
وَأَقْلَعُ سَوَارِيَكَ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ وَأُبِيدُ مُدُنَكَ. | ١٤ 14 |
And I will cut off the groves out of the midst of you, and I will abolish your cities.
وَبِغَضَبٍ وَغَيْظٍ أَنْتَقِمُ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا». | ١٥ 15 |
and I will execute vengeance on the heathen in anger and wrath, because they listened not.
