Micah 5
1 Now come together in battle ranks, daughter of soldiers; the soldiers have set up a siege around city, with a rod they will strike the judge of Israel on the cheek.
nunc vastaberis filia latronis obsidionem posuerunt super nos in virga percutient maxillam iudicis Israhel
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, even though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come to me to rule in Israel, whose beginning is from ancient times, from everlasting.
et tu Bethleem Ephrata parvulus es in milibus Iuda ex te mihi egredietur qui sit dominator in Israhel et egressus eius ab initio a diebus aeternitatis
3 Therefore God will give them up, until the time when she who is in labor bears a child, and the rest of his brothers return to the people of Israel.
propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus in quo parturiens pariet reliquiae fratrum eius convertentur ad filios Israhel
4 He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of Yahweh, in the majesty of the name of Yahweh his God. They will remain, for then he will be great to 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 For this shall be the peace— when the Assyrians come into our land, and when they march against our fortresses, then we will raise against them seven shepherds and eight leaders over men.
et erit iste pax Assyrius cum venerit in terram nostram et quando calcaverit in domibus nostris et suscitabimus super eum septem pastores et octo primates homines
6 They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its entrances. He will rescue us from the Assyrians, when they come into our land, when they march inside 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 The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from Yahweh, like showers on the grass, that do not wait for a man, and they do not wait for the children of mankind.
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 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, among many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep. When he goes through them, he will trample over them and tear them to pieces, and there will be no one to save them.
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 Your hand will be lifted against your enemies, and it will destroy them.
exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos et omnes inimici tui interibunt
10 “It will happen in that day”—this is Yahweh's declaration— “that I will destroy your horses from among you and will demolish your chariots.
et erit in die illa dicit Dominus auferam equos tuos de medio tui et disperdam quadrigas tuas
11 I will destroy the cities in your land and throw down all your strongholds.
et perdam civitates terrae tuae et destruam omnes munitiones tuas
12 I will destroy the witchcraft in your hand, and you will no longer have any diviners.
et auferam maleficia de manu tua et divinationes non erunt in te
13 I will destroy your carved figures and your stone pillars from among you. You will no longer worship the workmanship of your hands.
et perire faciam sculptilia tua et statuas tuas de medio tui et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum
14 I will uproot your Asherah poles from among you, and I will destroy your cities.
et evellam lucos tuos de medio tui et conteram civitates tuas
15 I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations that have not listened.”
et faciam in furore et in indignatione ultionem in omnibus gentibus quae non audierunt
