Micah 5
1 Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
Sedaj se zberi v krdela, oh hči krdel. Zoper nas je položil obleganje. Izraelovega sodnika bodo s palico udarjali na lice.
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
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 he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to 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 He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God: and they will live, for then he will be great to the farthest parts 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 He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land, and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders 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 They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.
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 The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from Jehovah, like showers on the grass, that do not wait for man, nor wait 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 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one 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 Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.
Tvoja roka bo vzdignjena nad tvoje nasprotnike in vsi tvoji sovražniki bodo iztrebljeni.
10 "It will happen in that day," says Jehovah, "That I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, and will destroy your chariots.
In zgodilo se bo na tisti dan, « govori Gospod, »da bom iz tvoje srede iztrebil tvoje konje in uničil tvoje bojne vozove
11 I will cut off the cities of your land, and will tear down all your strongholds.
in iztrebil bom mesta tvoje dežele in zrušil vsa tvoja oporišča
12 I will destroy witchcraft from your hand; and you shall have no soothsayers.
in iztrebil bom čaranja iz tvoje roke in ne boš več imel napovedovalcev usode.
13 I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars out of your midst; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
Tudi tvoje rezane podobe bom iztrebil in tvoje stoječe podobe iz tvoje srede in ne boš več oboževal dela svojih rok.
14 I will uproot your Asherim out of your midst; and I will destroy your cities.
Izruval bom tvoje ašere iz tvoje srede. Tako bom uničil tvoja mesta.
15 I will execute vengeance in anger, and wrath on the nations that did not listen."
Nad pogani bom izvršil maščevanje v jezi in razjarjenosti, takšno, o kakršnem niso slišali.«
