Micah 5

1 Now thou, douyter of a theef, schalt be distried; thei puttiden on vs bisegyng, in a yerde thei schulen smyte the cheke of the iuge of Israel.

nunc vastaberis filia latronis obsidionem posuerunt super nos in virga percutient maxillam iudicis Israhel

2 And thou, Bethleem Effrata, art litil in the thousyndis of Juda; he that is the lordli gouernour in Israel, schal go out of thee to me; and the goyng out of hym is fro bigynnyng, fro daies of euerlastyngnesse.

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 For this thing he shal yyue hem til to the tyme in which the trauelinge of child schal bere child, and the relifs of hise britheren schulen be conuertid to the sones of Israel.

propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus in quo parturiens pariet reliquiae fratrum eius convertentur ad filios Israhel

4 And he schal stonde, and schal fede in the strengthe of the Lord, in the heiythe of the name of his Lord God; and thei schulen be conuertid, for now he schal be magnefied til to the endis of al erthe.

et stabit et pascet in fortitudine Domini in sublimitate nominis Domini Dei sui et convertentur quia nunc magnificabitur usque ad terminos terrae

5 And this schal be pees, whanne Assirius schal come in to oure lond, and whanne he schal trede in oure housis; and we schulen reise on hym seuene scheepherdis, and eiyte primatis men, ether the firste in dignytee.

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 And thei schulen frete the lond of Assur bi swerd, and the lond of Nembroth bi speris of hym; and he schal delyuere vs fro Assur, whanne he schal come in to oure lond, and whanne he schal trede in oure coostis.

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 And relifs of Jacob schulen be in the myddil of many puplis, as dew of the Lord, and as dropis on erbe, whiche abidith not man, and schal not abide sones of men.

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 And relifs of Jacob schulen be in hethene men, in the myddil of many puplis, as a lioun in beestis of the woodis, and as a whelpe of a lioun rorynge in flockis of scheep; and whanne he passith, and defoulith, and takith, there is not that schal delyuere.

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 And thin hond schal be reisid on thin enemyes, and alle thin enemyes schulen perische.

exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos et omnes inimici tui interibunt

10 And it schal be, in that dai, seith the Lord, Y schal take awei thin horsis fro the myddil of thee, and Y schal distrie thi foure horsid cartis.

et erit in die illa dicit Dominus auferam equos tuos de medio tui et disperdam quadrigas tuas

11 And Y schal leese the citees of thi lond, and Y schal distrie alle thi strengthis;

et perdam civitates terrae tuae et destruam omnes munitiones tuas

12 and Y schal do awei witchecraftis fro thin hond, and dyuynaciouns schulen not be in thee.

et auferam maleficia de manu tua et divinationes non erunt in te

13 And Y schal make for to perische thi `grauun ymagis, and Y schal breke togidere fro the myddil of thee thin ymagis, and thou schalt no more worschipe the werkis of thin hondis.

et perire faciam sculptilia tua et statuas tuas de medio tui et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum

14 And Y schal drawe out of the middis of thee thi woodis, and Y schal al to-breke thi citees.

et evellam lucos tuos de medio tui et conteram civitates tuas

15 And Y schal make in woodnesse and indignacioun veniaunce in alle folkis, whiche herden not.

et faciam in furore et in indignatione ultionem in omnibus gentibus quae non audierunt
