Mihej 5
1 Utvrdi se sada, Tvrđavo! Opkoljeni smo i opsjednuti, palicom po licu udaraju Suca Izraelova.
Nowe assemble thy garisons, O daughter of garisons: he hath layed siege against vs: they shall smite the iudge of Israel with a rod vpon the cheeke.
2 A ti, Betleheme Efrato, najmanji među kneževstvima Judinim, iz tebe će mi izaći onaj koji će vladati Izraelom; njegov je iskon od davnina, od vječnih vremena.
And thou Beth-leem Ephrathah art litle to bee among the thousandes of Iudah, yet out of thee shall he come forth vnto me, that shalbe the ruler in Israel: whose goings forth haue bene from the beginning and from euerlasting.
3 Zato će ih Jahve ostaviti dok ne rodi ona koja ima roditi. Tada će se Ostatak njegove braće vratiti djeci Izraelovoj.
Therefore will he giue them vp, vntill the time that shee which shall beare, shall trauaile: then the remnant of their brethren shall returne vnto the children of Israel.
4 On će se uspraviti, na pašu izvodit' svoje stado silom Jahvinom, veličanstvom imena Boga svojega. Oni će u miru živjeti, jer će on rasprostrijeti svoju vlast sve do krajeva zemaljskih.
And he shall stand, and feed in the strength of the Lord, and in the maiestie of the Name of the Lord his God, and they shall dwel still: for now shall he be magnified vnto the ends of the world.
5 On - on je mir! Ako Asirci provale u našu zemlju, ako stupe u naše dvore, podići ćemo na njih sedam pastira, osam narodnih knezova.
And hee shall be our peace when Asshur shall come into our lande: when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seuen shepheardes, and eight principall men.
6 Zemlju asirsku oni će mačem opasti, zemlju Nimrodovu sabljama. I on će nas osloboditi od Asiraca ako provale u našu zemlju, ako stupe na naše tlo.
And they shall destroy Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with their swordes: thus shall he deliuer vs from Asshur, when hee commeth into our lande, and when he shall tread within our borders.
7 Tada će Ostatak Jakovljev, među brojnim narodima, biti kao rosa koja od Jahve dolazi, kao kapljice kiše na travi koja ne čeka na čovjeka niti iščekuje sina čovječjeg.
And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among many people, as a dewe from the Lord, and as the showres vpon the grasse, that waiteth not for man, nor hopeth in the sonnes of Adam.
8 Tada će Ostatak Jakovljev, među brojnim narodima, biti kao lav među šumskim zvijerima, kao lavić među ovčjim stadima: svaki put kad prolazi, on gazi nogama, razdire, i nitko da od njega izbavi.
And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among the Gentiles in the middes of many people, as the lyon among the beastes of the forest, and as the lyons whelpe among the flockes of sheepe, who when he goeth thorow, treadeth downe and teareth in pieces, and none can deliuer.
9 Tvoja ruka neka se podigne na protivnike, svi tvoji neprijatelji bit će zatrti!
Thine hand shall bee lift vp vpon thine aduersaries, and all thine enemies shalbe cut off.
10 “U onaj dan - riječ je Jahvina - potamanit ću sve tvoje konje, uništiti tvoja bojna kola;
And it shall come to passe in that day, sayth the Lord, that I will cut off thine horses out of the middes of thee, and I will destroy thy charets.
11 razorit ću po tvojoj zemlji svako naselje, porušiti sve tvoje tvrde gradove.
And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and ouerthrowe all thy strong holdes.
12 Zatrt ću iz tvoje ruke bajanje, vračara više nećeš imati;
And I will cut off thine enchanters out of thine hande: and thou shalt haue no more southsayers.
13 i zatrt ću u tebi sve kipove i stupove kamene. I ti se više nećeš klanjati pred djelom ruku svojih.
Thine idoles also will I cut off, and thine images out of the middes of thee: and thou shalt no more worship the woorke of thine hands.
14 Iskorijenit ću ašere iz tebe i razorit ću tvoje gradove.
And I wil plucke vp thy groues out of the middes of thee: so will I destroy thine enemies.
15 U gnjevu, u bijesu, izvršit ću osvetu na narodima koji nisu slušali.”
And I will execute a vegeance in my wrath and indignation vpon the heathen, which they haue not heard.
