Micah 5
1 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops; they lay siege against us: with the rod they smite upon the cheek the judge of Israel.
Nunc vastaberis filia latronis: obsidionem posuerunt super nos, in virga percutient maxillam iudicis Israel.
2 But thou, Beth-lechem Ephratah, the least [though] thou be among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from olden times, from most ancient days.
ET TU BETHLEHEM Ephrata parvulus es in millibus Iuda: ex te mihi egredietur qui sit dominator in Israel, et egressus eius ab initio, a diebus aeternitatis.
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she who travaileth hath brought forth: then shall the remnant of his brethren return with the children of Israel.
Propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus, in quo parturiens pariet: et reliquiae fratrum eius convertentur ad filios Israel.
4 And he shall stand forward and feed [Israel] through the strength of the Lord, through the excellency of the name of the Lord his God: and they shall abide [safely]; for now shall he be great even unto the ends of the earth.
Et stabit, et pascet in fortitudine Domini, in sublimitate nominis Domini Dei sui: et convertentur, quia nunc magnificabitur usque ad terminos terrae.
5 And in this [manner] shall there be peace: If Asshur should come into our land; and if he should tread in our palaces, then will we raise up against him seven shepherds, and eight anointed men.
Et erit iste pax: cum venerit Assyrius in terram nostram, et quando calcaverit domibus nostris: et suscitabimus super eum septem pastores, et octo primates homines:
6 And they shall lay waste the land of Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the gates of its [cities]: thus will he deliver us from Asshur, if he should come into our land, and if he should tread within our borders.
Et pascent terram Assur in gladio, et terram Nemrod in lanceis eius: et liberabit ab Assur cum venerit in terram nostram, et cum calcaverit in finibus nostris.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people like dew from the Lord, like showers upon the herbs, that wait not for man, nor hope for the sons of man.
Et erunt reliquiae Iacob in medio populorum multorum quasi ros a Domino, et quasi stillae super herbam, quae non expectat virum, et non praestolatur filios hominum.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many people, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep: who, if he break in, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, while none can deliver.
Et erunt reliquiae Iacob in Gentibus in medio populorum multorum, quasi leo in iumentis silvarum, et quasi catulus leonis in gregibus pecorum: qui cum transierit, et conculcaverit, et ceperit, non est qui eruat.
9 High shall thy hand be lifted up above thy adversaries, and all thy enemies shall be cut off.
Et exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos, et omnes inimici tui interibunt.
10 And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots;
Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus: Auferam equos tuos de medio tui, et disperdam quadrigas tuas.
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and I will throw down all thy strongholds;
Et perdam civitates terrae tuae, et destruam omnes munitiones tuas,
12 And I will cut off the arts of witchcraft out of thy hand; and soothsayers shalt thou have no more;
et auferam maleficia de manu tua, et divinationes non erunt in te.
13 And I will cut off thy graven images, and thy statues out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more prostrate thyself to the work of thy hands;
Et perire faciam sculptilia tua, et statuas tuas de medio tui: et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum.
14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee; and I will destroy thy enemies.
Et evellam lucos tuos de medio tui: et conteram civitates tuas.
15 And I will in anger and in fury execute vengeance upon the nations, upon those that have not hearkened.
Et faciam in furore et in indignatione ultionem in omnibus gentibus, quae non audierunt.
