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.

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.

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.

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.

The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, that do not wait for man, nor wait for the sons of men.

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.

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.
