< Micah 5 >
1 Now you will cut yourself O daughter of troop[s] a siege someone has set on us with rod they will strike on the cheek [the] judge of Israel.
被圍困的女子,現在妳要抓傷身,他們己圍困住我們,用棍杖搫打以色列民長的面頰。
2 And you O Beth-lehem Ephrathah [are] insignificant to be among [the] families of Judah from you for me someone will go out to be ruler over Israel and origins his [are] from antiquity from days of antiquity.
厄弗辣大白冷! 你在猶大群邑中雖是最小的,但是將由你從我生出一位統治以色列的人,他的來歷源自亙古,遠自永遠的時代。
3 Therefore he will deliver up them until a time [when one who is] about to give birth she has given birth and [the] rest of brothers his they will return! with [the] people of Israel.
因此,上主必將遺棄他們,直到孕婦生產之時,那時他 弟兄中的遺民必將歸來,與以色列子民團聚。
4 And he will stand and he will shepherd by [the] strength of Yahweh by [the] majesty of [the] name of Yahweh God his and they will remain for now he will be great to [the] ends of [the] earth.
他必卓然屹立,以上主的能力及上主他們的天主之名的權威,牧放自己的羊群。他們將獲得安居,因為他必大有權勢,直達地極。
5 And he will be this [one] peace Assyria - for it will come in land our and for it will tread on fortresses our and we will raise up on him seven shepherds and eight princes of man.
他本人將是和平! 當亞述人侵入我們地域,蹂躪我們領土時,必有七個牧者,八個人民首領奮起對抗。
6 And they will shepherd [the] land of Assyria with the sword and [the] land of Nimrod at entrances its and he will deliver [us] from Assyria if it will come in land our and for it will tread in territory our.
他們必用刀統治亞述,用劍管轄默洛得地。當亞述侵入我們地域,蹂躪我們的境域時,他必救援我們。
7 And it will be - [the] remnant of Jacob in [the] midst of peoples many like dew from with Yahweh like copious showers on vegetation which not it waits for anyone and not it waits for [the] children of humankind.
那時,雅各伯的遺民,在許多民族中,必如由上主而來的朝露,必如落在青草上的甘霖,不再期待於人,也不寄望於人子。
8 And it will be [the] remnant of Jacob among the nations in [the] midst of peoples many like a lion among [the] animals of [the] forest like a young lion (among flocks of *L(abh)*) sheep which if it has passed through and it tramples and it tears and there not [is] a deliverer.
那時,雅各伯的遺民,在異民中,在許多民族中,必如獅子在森林百獸中,必如幼童在羊群中,所經之處,必加以蹂躪摧殘,無人能夠搶救。
9 May it be lifted up hand your above opponents your and all enemies your may they be cut off.
你的手臂將高舉在你敵人之上,你的一切仇敵必要滅絕。
10 And it will be in the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will cut off horses your from midst your and I will destroy chariots your.
到那一日──上主的斷語──我必由你中間毀滅你的戰馬,破壞你的車輛,
11 And I will cut off [the] cities of land your and I will tear down all fortresses your.
毀壞你境內的城市,傾覆你的一切堡壘,
12 And I will cut off sorceries from hand your and soothsayers not they will belong to you.
滅絕你手中的巫術,使你不再有人占卜;
13 And I will cut off images your and sacred pillars your from midst your and not you will bow down again to [the] work of hands your.
我必由你們中間消滅你的彫像和石柱,使你不再膜拜你手製的作品;
14 And I will pluck up Asherah poles your from midst your and I will destroy cities your.
我必由你們中間根除你的神柱,毀壞你的神像;
15 And I will do in anger and in rage vengeance with the nations which not they have obeyed.
對那不順服的異民,我必在憤怒激憤之下施以報復。
