< Michas 5 >
1 Nu tad pulcējies, pulku meita; viņi pret mums apmetīsies. Tie ar rīksti sitīs Israēla soģi vaigā.
Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
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.
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small amongst the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.
3 Tādēļ Viņš tos nodos līdz tam laikam, kur dzemdētāja dzemdēs. Tad viņa atlikušie brāļi atgriezīsies pie Israēla bērniem.
Therefore he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labour gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return 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.
He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. They will live, for then 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.
He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders of 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.
They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its gates. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.
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.
The remnant of Jacob will be amongst many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, that don’t wait for man nor wait 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.
The remnant of Jacob will be amongst the nations, amongst many peoples, like a lion amongst the animals of the forest, like a young lion amongst the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.
9 Tava roka būs paaugstināta pār taviem pretiniekiem, un visi tavi ienaidnieki taps izdeldēti.
Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.
10 “Un notiks tai dienā”, saka Tas Kungs, “ka Es izdeldēšu tavus zirgus no tava vidus un iznīcināšu tavus ratus.
“It will happen in that day”, says the LORD, “that I will cut off your horses from amongst you and will destroy your chariots.
11 Un Es izdeldēšu tavas zemes pilsētas un nolauzīšu visas tavas stiprās vietas.
I will cut off the cities of your land and will tear down all your strongholds.
12 Un Es izdeldēšu buršanu no tavas rokas, ka zīlnieki pie tevis vairs nebūs.
I will destroy witchcraft from your hand. You shall have no soothsayers.
13 Un Es izdeldēšu tavus dievekļus un tavus elkudievu stabus no tava vidus, un tu nemetīsies zemē priekš savu roku darba.
I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars from amongst you; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
14 Es izraušu tavas ašeras no tava vidus un iznīcināšu tavas pilsētas.
I will uproot your Asherah poles from amongst you; and I will destroy your cities.
15 Un Es atriebšos ar dusmību un bardzību pie tiem pagāniem, kas neklausa.”
I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations that didn’t listen.”
