Micah 5
1 Now you will give yourselves deep wounds for grief; they will put up a wall round us: they will give the judge of Israel a blow on the face with a rod.
Agora ajunta-te com esquadrões, ó filha de esquadrões; pôr-se-ha cerco sobre nós: ferirão com a vara no queixo ao juiz de Israel.
2 And you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, the least among the families of Judah, out of you one will come to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose going out has been purposed from time past, from the eternal days.
E tu, Beth-lehem Ephrata, ainda que és pequena entre os milhares de Judah, de ti me sairá o que será Senhor em Israel, e cujas saidas são desde os tempos antigos, desde os dias da eternidade.
3 For this cause he will give them up till the time when she who is with child has given birth: then the rest of his brothers will come back to the children of Israel.
Portanto os entregará até ao tempo em que a que está de parto tiver parido: então o resto de seus irmãos voltará com os filhos de Israel.
4 And he will take his place and give food to his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the glory of the name of the Lord his God; and their resting-place will be safe: for now he will be great to the ends of the earth.
E elle estará em pé, e apascentará ao povo na força do Senhor, na excellencia do nome do Senhor seu Deus: e elles permanecerão, porque agora será engrandecido até aos fins da terra.
5 And this will be our peace: when the Assyrian comes into our country and his feet are in our land, then we will put up against him seven keepers of the flocks and eight chiefs among men.
E este será a paz: quando a Assyria vier á nossa terra, e quando passar os nossos palacios, levantaremos contra elle sete pastores e oito principes d'entre os homens.
6 And they will make waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the edge of the sword: he will give us salvation from the Assyrian when he comes into our country, when his feet come inside the limit of our land.
Esses consumirão a terra da Assyria á espada, e a terra de Nimrod nas suas entradas. Assim nos livrará da Assyria, quando vier á nossa terra, e quando calcar os nossos termos.
7 And the rest of Jacob will be among the mass of peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which may not be kept back by man, or be waiting for the sons of men.
E estará o resto de Jacob no meio de muitos povos, como orvalho do Senhor, como uns choviscos sobre a terra, que não espera pelo homem, nem aguarda a filhos de homens.
8 And the rest of Jacob will be among the nations, in the middle of the mass of peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the woods, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep: if he goes through, they will be crushed under foot and pulled to bits, and there will be no saviour.
E o resto de Jacob estará entre as nações, no meio de muitos povos, como um leão entre os animaes do bosque, como um leãosinho entre os rebanhos de ovelhas, o qual, quando passar, pizará e despedaçará, sem que haja quem as livre.
9 Your hand is lifted up against those who are against you, and all your haters will be cut off.
A tua mão se exaltará sobre os seus adversarios; e todos os teus inimigos serão exterminados.
10 And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that I will take away your horses from you, and will give your war-carriages to destruction:
E succederá n'aquelle dia, diz o Senhor, que eu exterminarei do meio de ti os teus cavallos, e destruirei os teus carros;
11 I will have the towns of your land cut off and all your strong places pulled down:
E destruirei as cidades da tua terra, e derribarei todas as tuas fortalezas;
12 I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:
E exterminarei as feitiçarias da tua mão: e não terás agoureiros;
13 And I will have your images and your pillars cut off from you; and you will no longer give worship to the work of your hands.
E exterminarei do meio de ti as tuas imagens de esculptura e as tuas estatuas; e tu não te inclinarás mais diante da obra das tuas mãos.
14 I will have your Asherahs pulled up from among you: and I will send destruction on your images.
E arrancarei os teus bosques do meio de ti; e destruirei as tuas cidades.
15 And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.
E com ira e com furor farei vingança das nações que não ouvem.
