uMika 5:2-5

“Kodwa wena, Bhetelehem-efrata, nangona umncinane phakathi kwamawaka akwaYuda, noko ke uya kuphuma kuwe uze kum, yaye mna ndiya kuba yinkokeli kaSirayeli; abazalwayo kususela kwamandulo, kwasephakadeni. Ngako oko uya kuwanikela kubo, kude kube lixesha lokuzala kwayo; abuye ke amasalela abazalwana bakhe, aye koonyana bakaSirayeli; uya kuma, aluse enamandla kaYehova, enobungangamsha begama likaYehova uThixo wakhe; kwaye ziya kuhlala, ngenxa yokuba ngoku uya kuba mkhulu kude kube sekupheleni kwehlabathi. Yoba luxolo loo ndoda, xa ama-Asiriya azileyo ezweni lakowethu; Ukuba uthe wanyathela ezingxandeni zethu ezinde, sonikela kuye abalusi abasixhenxe, namagosa asithoba anamazinyo amabini.
