Micah 5:1-4

Buthana ngamaviyo,
ndodakazi yamaviyo;
usivimbezele,
bayakumshaya umahluleli wakwa-Israyeli ngenduku esihlathini.

“Kepha wena Betlehema Efratha,
omncane ukuba ube phakathi kwemindeni yakwaJuda,
ngiyakuphunyelwa ngovela kuwe,
ozakuba ngumbusi kwa-Israyeli,
okuvela kwakhe kusukela endulo ezinsukwini zaphakade.”

Ngalokho bayakukhashelwa,
bese yibuyela insali yabafowabo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Uyakuma, aluse ngamandla kaJehova nangokuphakama kwegama
likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe;
sebeyakuhlala,
ngokuba uzakuba mkhulu
kuze kube semajukujukwini omhlaba.
