Mikas 5
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
5 Mga taga-Jerusalem, tipunin ninyo ang inyong mga hukbo sapagkat kinukubkob na tayo ng mga kaaway. Sinasalakay na nila ang pinuno ng Israel!
Ang Paghahari ng Tagapagpalaya
2 Sinabi(A) ni Yahweh, “Ngunit ikaw, Bethlehem Efrata, bagama't pinakamaliit ka sa mga angkan ng Juda ay magmumula sa iyong angkan ang isang mamumuno sa Israel. Ang kanyang pinagmulan ay buhat pa noong una, noong unang panahon pa.” 3 Kaya nga, ang bayan ni Yahweh ay ibibigay niya sa kamay ng mga kaaway hanggang sa isilang ng babae ang sanggol na mamumuno. Pagkatapos, ang mga Israelitang binihag ng ibang bansa ay kanyang ibabalik sa kanilang mga kababayan. 4 Pagdating ng pinunong iyon, pamamahalaan niya ang kanyang bayan sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ni Yahweh sapagkat taglay niya ang kadakilaan ng pangalan ni Yahweh na kanyang Diyos. At ang Israel ay mamumuhay na ligtas, sapagkat kikilalanin ng buong daigdig ang haring iyon. 5 At sa kanya magmumula ang kapayapaan.
Ang Pagliligtas at ang Pagpaparusa
Kapag dumating ang mga taga-Asiria upang sakupin ang ating lupain, magsusugo tayo ng sapat na bilang ng pinakamalalakas na pinunong lalaban sa kanila. 6 Sa(B) pamamagitan ng mga sandata ay tatalunin nila ang Asiria na lupain ni Nimrod at ipagtatanggol nila tayo kapag sumalakay ang mga taga-Asiria.
7 Ang mga nakaligtas na Israelita ay maninirahan sa maraming mga bansa. Matutulad sila sa hamog na mula kay Yahweh at para silang ulan na dumidilig sa damuhan. Sa Diyos sila aasa at hindi sa tao. 8 At ang mga Israelitang naiwan sa mga bansa ay magiging parang leon na maghahanap ng pagkain sa kagubatan. Lulusubin nila ang mga kawan ng tupa, at lalapain sila; walang sinumang makakapagligtas sa mga tupa. 9 Sasakupin at papatayin ng Israel ang kanyang mga kaaway.
10 “At sa araw na iyon,” sabi ni Yahweh, “aalisan ko kayo ng mga kabayo at sisirain ko ang inyong mga karwahe. 11 Gigibain ko ang inyong mga lunsod at ibabagsak ang matitibay ninyong tanggulan. 12 Wawasakin ko ang inyong mga agimat at mawawala na rin ang mga manghuhula. 13 Wawasakin ko ang inyong mga diyus-diyosan at mga haliging itinuturing ninyong sagrado, at hindi na kayo sasamba sa ginawa ng inyong mga kamay. 14 Dudurugin ko rin ang inyong mga diyus-diyosang Ashera at iguguho ang inyong mga lunsod. 15 Ibabagsak ko sa inyo ang aking poot, at isasagawa ang aking paghihiganti sa mga bansang hindi sumunod sa akin.”

A Ruler from Bethlehem
5 [a] Now muster troops, O daughter of troops;
a siege he puts against us.
They strike the ruler of Israel
with a rod on the cheek.
2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
too small to be among the clans of Judah,
from you one will go out for me,
to be ruler in Israel;
and his origins are from of old,
from ancient days.
3 Therefore he will give them up
until the time of she who is with child has given birth.
And the rest of his brothers will return
to the children of Israel.
4 And he will stand and shepherd his flock
in the strength of Yahweh,
in the majesty of the name of Yahweh his God.
And they will live,
for now he will be great unto the ends of the earth.
5 And this one will be peace.
As for the Assyrian,[b] when he comes into our land
and when he treads on our fortresses,
then we will raise up against him seven shepherds
and eight leaders of men.
6 And they will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
and the land of Nimrod at its entrances.
And he will rescue us from the Assyrian[c]
when he comes into our land,
and when they tread upon our border.
A Remnant Delivered
7 And the remnant of Jacob will be
in the midst of many nations,
like dew from Yahweh,
like showers upon the grass
which does not wait for a man,
nor delays for the children of humankind.
8 And the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the wild animals of the forest,
like a young lion among the herds of sheep
which, when it passes through and treads down
and tears in pieces, there is none who can deliver.
9 Your hand will be lifted high over your enemies,
and all your foes will be cut off.
10 “And it will happen that in that day,” declares[d] Yahweh,
“then I will cut off your horses from among you,
and I will destroy your chariots.
11 And I will cut off the cities of your land,
and I will demolish all your fortifications.
12 And I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
and you will not have soothsayers.
13 And I will cut off your idols
and your stone pillars from among you,
and you will no longer bow down
to the work of your hands.
14 And I will uproot your Asherahs from among you,
and I will destroy your cities.
15 And in anger and in wrath I will execute vengeance
on the nations who did not obey.”

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.
