Micah 5
1 “But now, [you people of Jerusalem, gather your troops together, ] [because even though] you have a wall [around your city to protect it], [enemy soldiers] are surrounding the city. And [soon] they will strike your leader on his face, with a rod.”
Ita, agsaganakayo a makigubat, dakayo a tattao ti Jerusalem. Adda pader a naipalawlaw iti siudadyo, ngem pang-urendanto ti sarukod ti pingping ti mangidadaulo ti Israel.
2 But you [people of] [APO] Bethlehem in Ephrathah [district need to know that] even though your [town] is a very small one among all the towns in Judah, someone who will rule Israel will be born in your town. [He will be] someone whose family has existed a very long time ago [DOU].
Ngem sika, Betlehem Efrata, uray no sika ti kababassitan kadagiti puli ti Juda, maysanto kadakayo ti umay kaniak a mangituray iti Israel, a nagtaud ti kaputonanna ket idi ugma manipud iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana.
3 [But now] you people of Israel will be conquered by your enemies; [but it will be for only a short time], like [MET] [the short time that] women have great pain while their babies are being born. After that, your fellow-countrymen who were (exiled/forced to go to other countries) will return to their own country.
Ngarud, iyawatto isuda ti Dios, agingga iti tiempo nga agpasngay ti agpaspasikal, ket agsubli dagiti dadduma a kakabsatna kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
4 And that man who will be ruling [there in Jerusalem] will stand and lead his people well, because Yahweh, his God, will cause him to be strong and greatly honored. Then the people whom he rules will live [in Jerusalem] safely; he will be greatly honored by people all over the earth, [so no one will dare to attack Jerusalem].
Agtakderto isuna ken ipastorna iti arbanna iti bileg ni Yahweh, iti natan-ok a nagan ni Yahweh a Diosna. Agtalinaeddanto, ta agbalinto isuna a natan-ok agingga iti pungto ti daga.
5 And he will cause things to go well [for his people]. When [the army of] Assyria attacks our country and breaks though our fortresses, we will appoint (seven or eight/several) leaders [to lead our army] to fight against them.
Isunanto ti kappiatayo. Inton umay dagiti Assiriano iti dagatayo, inton lumasatda kadagiti sarikedkedtayo, isabattayo kadakuada dagiti pito nga agpaspastor ken walo a mangidada-ulo kadagiti lallaki.
6 With their swords [our army] will defeat the [army of] Assyria, [whose capital was founded by] Nimrod [long ago]. So our army will rescue us from the Assyrian [army] when they invade our country [DOU].
Agturayto dagitoy a lallaki ti daga iti Asiria babaen iti kampilan, ken ti daga ni Nimrod babaen iti kampilan kadagiti imada. Isalakannatayonto manipud kadagiti Asirriano, inton umayda iti dagatayo, inton agmartsada nga umuneg kadagiti beddengtayo.
7 The (descendants of Jacob/Israelis) who survive will be [a blessing] to the people of other nations, like [SIM] dew and rain sent by Yahweh do good to the grass. The Israelis will not trust in humans [to help them]; instead, they will rely on Yahweh.
Maitiponto dagiti tidda ni Jacob kadagiti adu a bunggoy ti tattao, a kasla linnaaw nga aggapu ken Yahweh, a kasla arbis iti karuutan, a saanda nga aguray ti tao, saan a kadagiti tattao.
8 In the midst of [their enemies in] many people-groups [DOU], the descendants of Jacob who remain alive will be like [SIM] a lion among the [other] wild beasts of the forest, like [SIM] a young lion who goes among a flock of sheep and pounces [on one] and (mauls it/tears it to pieces), and no one will be able to rescue [that sheep].
Maitiponto kadagiti nasion dagiti tidda ni Jacob, maitipondanto kadagiti adu a tattao, a kas iti leon a naitipon kadagiti ayup iti kabakiran, a kasla iti ubing a leon a naitipon kadagiti arban ti karnero. Ket inton maitiponda kadakuada, badde-baddeknanto ida ken rangrangkayennanto ida, ket awanto ti siasinoman a mangispal kadakuada.
9 You Israelis will defeat [MTY] all your enemies and completely destroy them.
Maitag-ayto ti imam a mangsuppiat kadagiti kabusormo, ket daytanto ti mangdadael kadakuada.
10 Yahweh says, “At that time, I will destroy [you Israeli people’s] horses [that your soldiers use in war] and your chariots.
“Ket mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw,” kuna ni Yahweh, “a parmekekto dagiti kabaliom ken rakrakekto dagiti karwahem.
11 I will tear down your city [walls] and destroy all your fortified cities.
Parmekekto dagiti siudad iti dagam ken rebbaekto dagiti amin a sarikedkedmo.
12 I will get rid of all those among you who practice magic and the (fortune-tellers/those who say that they can predict what will happen in the future).
Dadaelekto ti panangkulkulam iti imam, ket awanton a pulos iti aniaman a mammadles.
13 I will destroy [all] your idols and [sacred stone] pillars, and then you will no longer bow down [and worship] things that you yourselves [SYN] have made.
Dadaelekto dagiti kinitikitan a ladawam ken dagiti adigim a bato. Saanmonton a dayawen dagiti aramid dagiti imam.
14 I will get rid of your poles [that represent the goddess] Asherah, and [I will also] destroy all your idols.
Parutekto dagiti imahe ni Asera iti tengngayo, ken dadaelekto dagiti siudadyo.
15 And because I will be very angry, I will [also] punish [the people of] all the nations who have not obeyed [me].”
Iti nakaro nga unget ken pungtotko, balsekto dagiti nasion a saan a dimngeg.”
