< Michas 5 >
1 Nu tad pulcējies, pulku meita; viņi pret mums apmetīsies. Tie ar rīksti sitīs Israēla soģi vaigā.
Now you will give yourselves deep wounds for grief; they will put up a wall round us: they will give the judge of Israel a blow on the face with a rod.
2 Un tu Bētleme Efrata, jebšu tu esi maza starp tiem tūkstošiem no Jūda, no tevis Man izies (Tas), kas būs Valdnieks iekš Israēla, un kura iziešana ir no iesākuma, no mūžīgām dienām.
And you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, the least among the families of Judah, out of you one will come to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose going out has been purposed from time past, from the eternal days.
3 Tādēļ Viņš tos nodos līdz tam laikam, kur dzemdētāja dzemdēs. Tad viņa atlikušie brāļi atgriezīsies pie Israēla bērniem.
For this cause he will give them up till the time when she who is with child has given birth: then the rest of his brothers will come back to the children of Israel.
4 Un Viņš stāvēs un ganīs Tā Kunga spēkā, ar Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārda augstību. Un tie dzīvos, jo nu Viņš taps liels līdz pasaules galiem.
And he will take his place and give food to his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the glory of the name of the Lord his God; and their resting-place will be safe: for now he will be great to the ends of the earth.
5 Un šis būs miers. Kad Asurs nāks mūsu zemē un ieies mūsu pilīs, tad mēs pret to iecelsim septiņus ganus un astoņus cilvēku virsniekus.
And this will be our peace: when the Assyrian comes into our country and his feet are in our land, then we will put up against him seven keepers of the flocks and eight chiefs among men.
6 Tie noganīs Asura zemi ar zobenu un Nimroda zemi viņas vārtos. Tā Viņš mūs izglābs no Asura, kad tas nāks mūsu zemē, un kad ieies mūsu robežās.
And they will make waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the edge of the sword: he will give us salvation from the Assyrian when he comes into our country, when his feet come inside the limit of our land.
7 Un Jēkaba atlikums būs daudz tautu starpā kā rasa no Tā Kunga, kā lietus lāses uz zāles, kas negaida uz nevienu nedz cerē uz cilvēka bērnu.
And the rest of Jacob will be among the mass of peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which may not be kept back by man, or be waiting for the sons of men.
8 Tiešām, Jēkaba atlikums būs pagānu starpā, daudz tautu vidū, kā lauva starp meža zvēriem, kā jauns lauva starp avju ganāmiem pulkiem, kas ielauzies samin un saplosa, un nav glābēja.
And the rest of Jacob will be among the nations, in the middle of the mass of peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the woods, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep: if he goes through, they will be crushed under foot and pulled to bits, and there will be no saviour.
9 Tava roka būs paaugstināta pār taviem pretiniekiem, un visi tavi ienaidnieki taps izdeldēti.
Your hand is lifted up against those who are against you, and all your haters will be cut off.
10 “Un notiks tai dienā”, saka Tas Kungs, “ka Es izdeldēšu tavus zirgus no tava vidus un iznīcināšu tavus ratus.
And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that I will take away your horses from you, and will give your war-carriages to destruction:
11 Un Es izdeldēšu tavas zemes pilsētas un nolauzīšu visas tavas stiprās vietas.
I will have the towns of your land cut off and all your strong places pulled down:
12 Un Es izdeldēšu buršanu no tavas rokas, ka zīlnieki pie tevis vairs nebūs.
I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:
13 Un Es izdeldēšu tavus dievekļus un tavus elkudievu stabus no tava vidus, un tu nemetīsies zemē priekš savu roku darba.
And I will have your images and your pillars cut off from you; and you will no longer give worship to the work of your hands.
14 Es izraušu tavas ašeras no tava vidus un iznīcināšu tavas pilsētas.
I will have your Asherahs pulled up from among you: and I will send destruction on your images.
15 Un Es atriebšos ar dusmību un bardzību pie tiem pagāniem, kas neklausa.”
And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.
