Micah 5
1 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.
Sedaj se zberi v krdela, oh hči krdel. Zoper nas je položil obleganje. Izraelovega sodnika bodo s palico udarjali na lice.
2 (And thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall he come forth unto me [who is] to be Ruler in Israel: whose goings forth are from of old, from the days of eternity.)
Toda ti, Betlehem Efráta, čeprav si majhen med Judovimi tisočimi, vendar bo iz tebe prišel k meni tisti, ki bo vladar v Izraelu, katerega izhodi so bili od davnine, od večnosti.
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time when she which travaileth shall have brought forth: and the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
Zato jih bo predal do časa, ko tista, ki je imela porodne muke, rodi. Potem se bo preostanek njegovih bratov vrnil k Izraelovim otrokom.
4 And he shall stand and feed [his flock] in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God. And they shall abide; for now shall he be great even unto the ends of the earth.
In stal bo in pasel v Gospodovi moči, v veličastvu imena Gospoda, svojega Boga; in oni bodo prebivali, kajti sedaj bo velik do koncev zemlje.
5 And this [man] shall be 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 princes of men.
In ta mož bo mir, ko bo Asirec prišel v našo deželo, in ko bo teptal v naših palačah, takrat bomo zoper njega vzdignili sedem pastirjev in osem glavnih mož.
6 And they shall waste the land of Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof; and he shall deliver [us] from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
In z mečem bodo opustošili deželo Asirije in Nimródovo deželo na njenih vhodih. Tako nas bo osvobodil pred Asirci, ko pride v našo deželo in ko mendra znotraj naših meja.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, neither waiteth for the sons of men.
Jakobov preostanek bo v sredi številnih ljudstev, kakor rosa od Gospoda, kakor nalivi na travo, ki ne čakajo na človeka niti ne čakajo na človeške sinove.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
Jakobov preostanek bo med pogani v sredi številnega ljudstva kakor lev med gozdnimi živalmi, kakor mlad lev med tropi ovc. Če gre ta skozi, tako pomendra kakor raztrga na koščke in nihče ne more osvoboditi.
9 Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
Tvoja roka bo vzdignjena nad tvoje nasprotnike in vsi tvoji sovražniki bodo iztrebljeni.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots.
In zgodilo se bo na tisti dan, « govori Gospod, »da bom iz tvoje srede iztrebil tvoje konje in uničil tvoje bojne vozove
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and overthrow all thy strongholds.
in iztrebil bom mesta tvoje dežele in zrušil vsa tvoja oporišča
12 And I will cut off sorceries out of thy hand; and thou shalt have no soothsayers.
in iztrebil bom čaranja iz tvoje roke in ne boš več imel napovedovalcev usode.
13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy statues out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more bow down to the work of thy hands.
Tudi tvoje rezane podobe bom iztrebil in tvoje stoječe podobe iz tvoje srede in ne boš več oboževal dela svojih rok.
14 And I will pluck up thine Asherahs out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities.
Izruval bom tvoje ašere iz tvoje srede. Tako bom uničil tvoja mesta.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury upon the nations, such as they have not heard of.
Nad pogani bom izvršil maščevanje v jezi in razjarjenosti, takšno, o kakršnem niso slišali.«
