Micah 5

1 Gather your troops together, Jerusalem! An enemy is besieging us. They will strike Israel's leader on the cheek with a rod.

Saberi se sada u èete, èetnice, opsjedi nas, neka biju prutom po obrazu sudiju Izrailjeva.

2 But from you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, (though you are only a small place in Judah), will come a ruler of Israel to do my will. His existence is from the ages of eternity past.

A ti, Vitlejeme Efrato, ako i jesi najmanji meðu tisuæama Judinijem, iz tebe æe mi izaæi koji æe biti gospodar u Izrailju, kojemu su izlasci od poèetka, od vjeènijeh vremena.

3 So the Lord will give up on them until the woman in labor has given birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the people of Israel.

Zato æe ih ostaviti dokle ne rodi ona koja æe roditi; tada æe se ostatak braæe njegove vratiti sa sinovima Izrailjevijem.

4 He will stand up and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. They will live in safety because his greatness is recognized all over the world.

I stajaæe i pašæe ih silom Gospodnjom, velièanstvom imena Gospoda Boga svojega; i oni æe nastavati, jer æe on tada biti velik do krajeva zemaljskih.

5 He will be our source of peace when the Assyrians invade our land and destroy our fortresses. Then we will appoint many strong leaders,

I on æe biti mir; kad doðe Asirac u našu zemlju, i kad stupi u dvore naše, tada æemo podignuti na nj sedam pastira i osam knezova iz naroda.

6 and they will rule Assyria with their swords, the land of Nimrod with drawn swords. He shall rescue us from the Assyrians when they invade our land, marching across our borders.

I oni æe opasti zemlju Asirsku maèem i zemlju Nevrodovu na vratima njegovijem; i on æe nas izbaviti od Asirca kad doðe u našu zemlju i kad stupi na meðu našu.

7 Then those who are left of the people of Jacob shall be in the center of many nations, like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which wait for no one, and which no one can delay.

I ostatak æe Jakovljev biti usred mnogih naroda kao rosa od Gospoda i kao sitan dažd po travi, koja ne èeka èovjeka niti se uzda u sinove èovjeèije.

8 Those who are left of the people of Jacob shall be among many nations, in the center of many peoples. They will be like a lion among the wild animals of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, clawing and tearing as it passes through, with no one to come to the rescue.

I ostatak æe Jakovljev biti meðu narodima, usred mnogih naroda, kao lav meðu zvijerima šumskim, kao laviæ meðu stadima ovaca, koji kad ide tlaèi i rastrže i nema nikoga da izbavi.

9 Lift your hand in triumph against your enemies; all of them will be destroyed.

Ruka æe ti se uzvisiti nad protivnicima tvojim, i svi æe se neprijatelji tvoji istrijebiti.

10 On that day, says the Lord, I will kill your horses and break your chariots.

I u ono æu vrijeme, govori Gospod, istrijebiti konje isred tebe i potræu kola tvoja.

11 I will tear down your city walls and demolish your fortresses.

I zatræu gradove u tvojoj zemlji, i razvaliæu sva tvrda mjesta tvoja;

12 I will stop the witchcraft you practice; there will be no more fortune-tellers for you.

I istrijebiæu vraèanje iz ruku tvojih, i neæeš imati gatara;

13 I will smash down the idols and stone pillars that stand among you: you shall not bow down and worship idols that you make with your own hands any more.

I istrijebiæu likove tvoje rezane i stupove tvoje isred tebe, i neæeš se više klanjati djelu ruku svojih;

14 I will pull up the Asherah poles that you have and destroy your pagan places.

I iskorijeniæu gajeve tvoje isred tebe, i raskopaæu gradove tvoje,

15 In anger and fury I will execute vengeance on those nations that do not obey me.

I izvršiæu osvetu s gnjevom i ljutinom na narodima koji ne slušaše.
