< Micah 5 >
1 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.
Sedaj se zberi v krdela, oh hči krdel. Zoper nas je položil obleganje. Izraelovega sodnika bodo s palico udarjali na lice.
2 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Thine hand shall bee lift vp vpon thine aduersaries, and all thine enemies shalbe cut off.
Tvoja roka bo vzdignjena nad tvoje nasprotnike in vsi tvoji sovražniki bodo iztrebljeni.
10 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.
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 ouerthrowe all thy strong holdes.
in iztrebil bom mesta tvoje dežele in zrušil vsa tvoja oporišča
12 And I will cut off thine enchanters out of thine hande: and thou shalt haue no more southsayers.
in iztrebil bom čaranja iz tvoje roke in ne boš več imel napovedovalcev usode.
13 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.
Tudi tvoje rezane podobe bom iztrebil in tvoje stoječe podobe iz tvoje srede in ne boš več oboževal dela svojih rok.
14 And I wil plucke vp thy groues out of the middes of thee: so will I destroy thine enemies.
Izruval bom tvoje ašere iz tvoje srede. Tako bom uničil tvoja mesta.
15 And I will execute a vegeance in my wrath and indignation vpon the heathen, which they haue not heard.
Nad pogani bom izvršil maščevanje v jezi in razjarjenosti, takšno, o kakršnem niso slišali.«
