< Micah 5 >

1 ‘Now cut yourself in bitter grief, daughter besieged by soldiers. They have set a wall around you. They strike the ruler of Israel, in the face with a rod.
Saberi se sada u èete, èetnice, opsjedi nas, neka biju prutom po obrazu sudiju Izrailjeva.
2 ‘Bethlehem in Ephrathah, small among the tribes of Judah, from you will come a king who will rule for me over Israel, whose family line goes back to the distant 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 only abandon Israel to its enemies until the woman in labour gives birth. Then the survivors will be reunited with their own people.
Zato æe ih ostaviti dokle ne rodi ona koja æe roditi; tada æe se ostatak braæe njegove vratiti sa sinovima Izrailjevijem.
4 And he will stand and shepherd by the strength of the Lord, In the exalted name of the Lord his God; And they will live in security, for now he will be great, even to the ends of the earth.
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 This will be our peace: when Assyria comes into our land and treads on our soil, we will raise up against him seven shepherds, eight leaders of men.
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 They will shepherd Assyria with a sword, and the land of Nimrod with bared blades. They will deliver us from Assyria, when they come into our land, and tread within 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 And the survivors of Jacob will be disbursed among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which don’t wait for people to come or linger for mortals.
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 And the survivors of Jacob will be disbursed among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the sheep-folds, who, when he passes through, pounces. He savages his prey. There is no rescuer.
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 Let your hand triumph over your adversaries, let all your enemies be cut off.
Ruka æe ti se uzvisiti nad protivnicima tvojim, i svi æe se neprijatelji tvoji istrijebiti.
10 On that day, says the Lord: ‘I will slaughter your horses from your midst, and destroy your chariots.
I u ono æu vrijeme, govori Gospod, istrijebiti konje isred tebe i potræu kola tvoja.
11 I will devastate the cities in your land, and tear down your fortresses.
I zatræu gradove u tvojoj zemlji, i razvaliæu sva tvrda mjesta tvoja;
12 I will destroy your magic charms, and you will have no soothsayers.
I istrijebiæu vraèanje iz ruku tvojih, i neæeš imati gatara;
13 I will cut down your idols and sacred pillars, and you will not worship any more the work of your hands.
I istrijebiæu likove tvoje rezane i stupove tvoje isred tebe, i neæeš se više klanjati djelu ruku svojih;
14 I will uproot your sacred poles, and destroy your idols.
I iskorijeniæu gajeve tvoje isred tebe, i raskopaæu gradove tvoje,
15 In my wrath and my anger I will seek vengeance on the nations that ignore me.’
I izvršiæu osvetu s gnjevom i ljutinom na narodima koji ne slušaše.
