< Micah 5 >

1 Now you will give yourselves deep wounds for grief; they will put up a wall round us: they will give the judge of Israel a blow on the face with a rod.
अब, ए सेनाहरूका छोरी, युद्धको निम्ति पङ्क्तिमा आओ, किनभने सेनाहरूले सहरको वरिपरि घेरा लगाएका छन्, र तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका न्यायकर्ताको गालामा छडीले हिर्काउनेछन् ।
2 And you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, the least among the families of Judah, out of you one will come to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose going out has been purposed from time past, from the eternal days.
तर, बेथलेहेम एप्राता, तँ यहूदाका वंशहरूमा सानो भए तापनि, तेरै बिचबाट एक जना इस्राएलमा शासन गर्न मकहाँ आउनेछ, जसको सुरुवात प्राचीन समयदेखि, अर्थात् सदादेखि नै भएको थियो ।
3 For this cause he will give them up till the time when she who is with child has given birth: then the rest of his brothers will come back to the children of Israel.
यसैकारण प्रसववेदनामा भएकीले बच्‍चा नजन्माएसम्म, र त्यसका बाँकी रहेकाहरू इस्राएलका मानिसकहाँ नफर्केसम्म परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूलाई त्याग्‍नुहुनेछ ।
4 And he will take his place and give food to his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the glory of the name of the Lord his God; and their resting-place will be safe: for now he will be great to the ends of the earth.
परमप्रभुको शक्ति, र परमप्रभु उहाँका परमेश्‍वरको नाउँको महिमामा उहाँ खडा भएर आफ्नो बगालको हेरचाह गर्नुहुन्छ । तिनीहरू बाँकी रहनेछन्, किनकि पृथ्वीको कुना-कुनासम्म उहाँको महानता रहिरहनेछ ।
5 And this will be our peace: when the Assyrian comes into our country and his feet are in our land, then we will put up against him seven keepers of the flocks and eight chiefs among men.
किनभने हाम्रो शान्तिचाहिँ यो हुनेछ - जब अश्शूरीहरू हाम्रो देशभित्र प्रवेश गर्नेछन्, र जब तिनीहरू हाम्रा किल्लाहरूतर्फ अगि बढ्‍छन्, त्यसबेला हामी तिनीहरूका विरुद्ध सात गोठाला र मानिसहरूमाथि आठ अगुवा खडा गर्नेछौँ ।
6 And they will make waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the edge of the sword: he will give us salvation from the Assyrian when he comes into our country, when his feet come inside the limit of our land.
तिनीहरूले अश्शूर देश र निम्रोदको देशलाई तिनीहरूको प्रवेशद्धारमा तरवारद्धारा नियन्त्रण गर्नेछन् । अश्शूरीहरू हाम्रो देशमा आउँदा, र तिनीहरू हाम्रो सिमानाभित्र अगि बढ्दा उहाँले हामीलाई तिनीहरूबाट बचाउनुहुनेछ ।
7 And the rest of Jacob will be among the mass of peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which may not be kept back by man, or be waiting for the sons of men.
याकूबका बाँकी रहेकाहरू धेरै जातिहरूका माझमा हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू परमप्रभुबाटको शीत, र घाँसमा पर्ने झरीझैँ हुन् जसले कुनै मानिस, वा मानिस जातिका सन्तानलाई पर्खंदैनन् ।
8 And the rest of Jacob will be among the nations, in the middle of the mass of peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the woods, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep: if he goes through, they will be crushed under foot and pulled to bits, and there will be no saviour.
याकूबका बाँकी रहेकाहरू राष्‍ट्रहरू र जातिहरूका माझमा हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू जङ्गलका पशुहरूका बिचमा भएको एउटा सिंहझैँ, र भेडाहरूको बगालमा एउटा जवान सिंहझैँ हुन् । जब त्यो तिनीहरूका बिचबाट जान्छ, त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई कुल्चनेछ र तिनीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछ, अनि तिनीहरूलाई बचाउने त्यहाँ कोही हुनेछैन ।
9 Your hand is lifted up against those who are against you, and all your haters will be cut off.
तेरो हात तेरा शत्रुहरूका विरुद्ध उठ्नेछन् र त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछ ।
10 And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that I will take away your horses from you, and will give your war-carriages to destruction:
परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “त्यस दिन यस्तो हुनेछ । म तिमीहरूका बिचमा तिमीहरूका घोडाहरूलाई नाश गर्नेछु र तिमीहरूका रथहरू भत्‍काइदिनेछु ।
11 I will have the towns of your land cut off and all your strong places pulled down:
तेरो भुमिका सहरहरूलाई म नाश गर्नेछु र तिमीहरूका गढीहरूलाई भत्काइदिनेछु ।
12 I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:
म तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएको तन्त्रमन्त्र नष्‍ट पार्नेछु, र तिमीहरूका बिचमा कोही पनि भविष्यवक्ताहरू हुनेछैनन् ।
13 And I will have your images and your pillars cut off from you; and you will no longer give worship to the work of your hands.
म तिमीहरूले हातले बनाएका मुर्तिहरू र तिमीहरूका ढुङ्गाका स्तम्भहरूलाई नाश गर्नेछु । अबदेखि तिमीहरूले आफ्ना हातले बनाएका वस्तुहरूलाई पुज्नेछैनौ ।
14 I will have your Asherahs pulled up from among you: and I will send destruction on your images.
म तिमीहरूका बिचबाट अशेराका खम्बाहरू उखेलिदिनेछु, र म तिमीहरूका सहरहरू नाश गर्नेछु ।
15 And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.
मेरा कुराहरू नसुन्‍ने जातिहरूमा म रिस र क्रोधमा प्रतिशोद ल्याउनेछु ।”
