Omufuzi ava mu Besirekemu
5 (A)Kuŋŋaanya amaggye go, ggwe ekibuga ekirina amaggye,
kubanga tulumbiddwa.
Omukulembeze wa Isirayiri
balimukuba omuggo ku luba.
2 (B)“Naye ggwe Besirekemu Efulasa,
newaakubadde ng’oli mutono mu bika bya Yuda,
mu ggwe mwe muliva alibeera
omufuzi wange mu Isirayiri.
Oyo yaliwo okuva edda n’edda,
ng’ensi tennabaawo.”
3 Mukama kyaliva awaayo Isirayiri eri abalabe baayo
okutuusa omukyala alumwa okuzaala lwalizaala omwana,
era baganda be abaasigalawo ne balyoka bakomawo
eri bannaabwe mu Isirayiri.
4 (C)Aliyimirira n’anyweera n’aliisa ekisibo kye
mu maanyi ga Mukama,
mu kitiibwa ky’erinnya lya Mukama Katonda we.
Era abantu be tebalibaako abateganya, kubanga aliba mukulu
okutuusa ku nkomerero y’ensi.
5 (D)Omukulu oyo aliba mirembe gyabwe.
Omwasuli bw’alirumba ensi yaffe
n’abuna ebigo byaffe,
tulimuyimbulira abasumba musanvu,
n’abakulembeze munaana.
6 (E)Abo be balifuga ensi ya Asuli n’ekitala
era ensi ya Nimuloodi nayo bagyonoone.
Naye alitulokola eri Omwasuli
bw’alitulumba mu nsi yaffe
era bw’aliyingira mu nsalo zaffe.
7 (F)Abantu ba Isirayiri abalisigalawo balibeera
wakati mu mawanga agabeetoolodde,
babe ng’omusulo oguva eri Mukama,
ng’obukubakuba obutonnyeredde ku muddo
obutalindirira muntu
oba abaana b’abantu.
8 (G)Ng’empologoma bw’ebeera n’ensolo endala ez’omu nsiko,
abantu abaasigalawo aba Yakobo balibeera mu mawanga mangi agabeetoolodde;
ate era ng’empologoma ento mu bisibo by’endiga,
bw’egenda n’eyitamu n’etaagulataagula
ne wataba n’omu aziwonya.
9 (H)Omukono gwo guliwangula abalabe bo,
ne bonna abakuyigganya balizikirizibwa.
10 (I)“Ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama,
“Ndizikiriza embalaasi zo
ne nsanyaawo n’amagaali go.
11 (J)Ndizikiriza ebibuga eby’omu nsi yo
era mmenyemenye n’ebigo byo byonna.
12 (K)Obulogo bwo ndibumalawo
era toliddayo kukolima nate.
13 (L)N’ebibumbe bye musinza ndibizikiriza.
Ne nziggyawo n’amayinja ge mwawonga;
temuliddayo nate kuvuunamira bakatonda
be mwekoledde n’emikono gyammwe.
14 (M)Era ndisigula Baasera okuva mu mmwe,
ebibuga byammwe n’embizikiriza.
15 (N)Era ndyesasuza ku mawanga agataŋŋondedde
n’obusungu n’ekiruyi.”
Micah 5
New King James Version
The Messiah Will Be Born at Bethlehem
5 Now gather yourself in troops,
O daughter of troops;
He has laid siege against us;
They will (A)strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
The Coming Messiah
2 “But you, (B)Bethlehem (C)Ephrathah,
Though you are little (D)among the (E)thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be (F)Ruler in Israel,
(G)Whose goings forth are from of old,
From [a]everlasting.”
3 Therefore He shall give them up,
Until the time that (H)she who is in labor has given birth;
Then (I)the remnant of His brethren
Shall return to the children of Israel.
4 And He shall stand and (J)feed[b] His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;
And they shall abide,
For now He (K)shall be great
To the ends of the earth;
5 And this One (L)shall be peace.
Judgment on Israel’s Enemies
When the Assyrian comes into our land,
And when he treads in our palaces,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight princely men.
6 They shall [c]waste with the sword the land of Assyria,
And the land of (M)Nimrod at its entrances;
Thus He shall (N)deliver us from the Assyrian,
When he comes into our land
And when he treads within our borders.
7 Then (O)the remnant of Jacob
Shall be in the midst of many peoples,
(P)Like dew from the Lord,
Like showers on the grass,
That [d]tarry for no man
Nor [e]wait for the sons of men.
8 And the remnant of Jacob
Shall be among the Gentiles,
In the midst of many peoples,
Like a (Q)lion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Who, if he passes through,
Both treads down and tears in pieces,
And none can deliver.
9 Your hand shall be lifted against your adversaries,
And all your enemies shall be [f]cut off.
10 “And it shall be in that day,” says the Lord,
“That I will (R)cut[g] off your (S)horses from your midst
And destroy your (T)chariots.
11 I will cut off the cities of your land
And throw down all your strongholds.
12 I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
And you shall have no (U)soothsayers.
13 (V)Your carved images I will also cut off,
And your sacred pillars from your midst;
You shall (W)no more worship the work of your hands;
14 I will pluck your [h]wooden images from your midst;
Thus I will destroy your cities.
15 And I will (X)execute vengeance in anger and fury
On the nations that have not [i]heard.”

Modern English Version
The Ruler From Bethlehem
5 Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops;
he has laid siege against us.
With a rod they will strike
the judge of Israel on the cheek.
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
although you are small among the tribes of Judah,
from you will come forth for Me
one who will be ruler over Israel.
His origins are from of old,
from ancient days.
3 Therefore He will give them up,
until the time when she who is in labor has given birth,
and the rest of his brothers will return
to the children of Israel.
4 He will stand and shepherd
in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God;
then they will live securely, because now He will be great
until the ends of the earth;
5 and He will be their peace.
The Remnant of Jacob Delivered
When Assyria enters our land
and treads through our palaces,
then we will raise up against him seven shepherds
and eight commanders of men.
6 They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
and the land of Nimrod at her gates;
He will rescue us from Assyria,
when he enters our land
and when he treads within our border.
7 Then the remnant of Jacob will be
in the midst of many peoples,
like dew from the Lord,
like showers upon the grass,
which do not wait for a man
and do not linger for the sons of men.
8 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which when it passes through, tramples and mauls,
without rescuer.
9 Your hand will be lifted up over your adversaries,
and all your enemies will be cut off.
10 And in that day, declares the Lord,
I will cut off your horses from among you,
and I will destroy your chariots.
11 Then I will cut off the cities of your land,
and I will overthrow your strongholds;
12 then I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
and you will no longer have fortune-tellers.
13 Then I will cut off your idols,
and your sacred stones from among you,
and you will no longer bow down
to the work of your hands;
14 then I will root out your Asherah idols from among you,
and I will annihilate your cities.
15 And in anger and wrath I will take vengeance
on the nations that have not listened.
Micah 5
King James Version
5 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 But thou, Bethlehem 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 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 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
5 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 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 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
8 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 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
13 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 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
