Micah 5

1 Gather your troops together, Jerusalem! An enemy is besieging us. They will strike Israel's leader on the cheek with a rod.

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.

2 But from you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, (though you are only a small place in Judah), will come a ruler of Israel to do my will. His existence is from the ages of eternity past.

“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.”

3 So the Lord will give up on them until the woman in labor has given birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the people of Israel.

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.

4 He will stand up and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. They will live in safety because his greatness is recognized all over the world.

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.

5 He will be our source of peace when the Assyrians invade our land and destroy our fortresses. Then we will appoint many strong leaders,

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.

6 and they will rule Assyria with their swords, the land of Nimrod with drawn swords. He shall rescue us from the Assyrians when they invade our land, marching across our borders.

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.

7 Then those who are left of the people of Jacob shall be in the center of many nations, like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which wait for no one, and which no one can delay.

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.

8 Those who are left of the people of Jacob shall be among many nations, in the center of many peoples. They will be like a lion among the wild animals of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, clawing and tearing as it passes through, with no one to come to the rescue.

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.

9 Lift your hand in triumph against your enemies; all of them will be destroyed.

A ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè ní ìṣẹ́gun lórí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ sì ni a ó parun.

10 On that day, says the Lord, I will kill your horses and break your chariots.

“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.

11 I will tear down your city walls and demolish your fortresses.

Èmi yóò sì pa ilẹ̀ ìlú ńlá rẹ̀ run, èmi ó sì fa gbogbo ibi gíga rẹ̀ ya.

12 I will stop the witchcraft you practice; there will be no more fortune-tellers for you.

Èmi yóò gé ìwà àjẹ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, ìwọ kì yóò sì ní aláfọ̀ṣẹ mọ́.

13 I will smash down the idols and stone pillars that stand among you: you shall not bow down and worship idols that you make with your own hands any more.

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.

14 I will pull up the Asherah poles that you have and destroy your pagan places.

Èmi yóò fa ère Aṣerah tu kúrò láàrín rẹ̀, èmi yóò sì pa ìlú ńlá rẹ̀ run.

15 In anger and fury I will execute vengeance on those nations that do not obey me.

Èmi yóò gbẹ̀san ní ìbínú àti ìrunú lórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò ti tẹríba fún mi.”
