Micha Propheta 5
1 nunc vastaberis filia latronis obsidionem posuerunt super nos in virga percutient maxillam iudicis Israhel
Now gather yourself together, O daughter of troops, He has laid a siege against us, They strike [the] judge of Israel on the cheek with a rod.
2 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
“And you, Beth-Lehem Ephratah, Little to be among the chiefs of Judah! From you He comes forth to Me—to be ruler in Israel, And His comings forth [are] of old, From the days of antiquity.”
3 propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus in quo parturiens pariet reliquiae fratrum eius convertentur ad filios Israhel
Therefore He gives them up until the time she who brings forth has brought forth, And the remnant of His brothers return to the sons of Israel.
4 et stabit et pascet in fortitudine Domini in sublimitate nominis Domini Dei sui et convertentur quia nunc magnificabitur usque ad terminos terrae
And He has stood and delighted in the strength of YHWH, In the excellence of the Name of His God YHWH, And they have remained, For now He is great to the ends of the earth.
5 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
And this [One] has been peace. Asshur, when he comes into our land, And when he treads in our palaces, We have raised against him seven shepherds, And eight anointed of man.
6 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
And they have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword, And the land of Nimrod at its openings, And He has delivered from Asshur when he comes into our land, And when he treads in our borders.
7 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
And the remnant of Jacob has been in the midst of many peoples, As dew from YHWH—as showers on the herb, That does not wait for man, nor stays for the sons of men.
8 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
Indeed, the remnant of Jacob has been among nations, In the midst of many peoples, As a lion among beasts of a forest, As a young lion among ranks of a flock, Which if it has passed through, Has both trodden down and has torn, And there is no deliverer.
9 exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos et omnes inimici tui interibunt
High is your hand above your adversaries, And all your enemies are cut off.
10 et erit in die illa dicit Dominus auferam equos tuos de medio tui et disperdam quadrigas tuas
“And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “I have cut off your horses from your midst, And I have destroyed your chariots,
11 et perdam civitates terrae tuae et destruam omnes munitiones tuas
And I have cut off the cities of your land, And I have thrown down all your fortresses,
12 et auferam maleficia de manu tua et divinationes non erunt in te
And have cut off sorcerers out of your hand, And observers of clouds—you have none.
13 et perire faciam sculptilia tua et statuas tuas de medio tui et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum
And I have cut off your carved images, And your standing-pillars out of your midst, And you do not bow yourself anymore To the work of your hands.
14 et evellam lucos tuos de medio tui et conteram civitates tuas
And I have plucked up your Asherim out of your midst, And I have destroyed your enemies.
15 et faciam in furore et in indignatione ultionem in omnibus gentibus quae non audierunt
And I have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the nations who have not listened!”
