Mihej 5
1 Saberi se sada u èete, èetnice, opsjedi nas, neka biju prutom po obrazu sudiju Izrailjeva.
Yet now gather yourselves in troops, O people of troops! They lay siege against us; With a rod they smite the cheek of the judge of Israel.
2 A ti, Vitlejeme Efrato, ako i jesi najmanji meðu tisuæama Judinijem, iz tebe æe mi izaæi koji æe biti gospodar u Izrailju, kojemu su izlasci od poèetka, od vjeènijeh vremena.
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, Who art small to be among the thousands of Judah, Out of thee shall he come forth for me to be ruler in Israel, Whose origin is from the ancient age, from the days of old!
3 Zato æe ih ostaviti dokle ne rodi ona koja æe roditi; tada æe se ostatak braæe njegove vratiti sa sinovima Izrailjevijem.
But He [[Jehovah]] shall deliver them up, Until she that bringeth forth hath brought forth; Then shall the residue of his brethren return to the children of Israel.
4 I stajaæe i pašæe ih silom Gospodnjom, velièanstvom imena Gospoda Boga svojega; i oni æe nastavati, jer æe on tada biti velik do krajeva zemaljskih.
He shall stand and rule in the strength of Jehovah, In the majesty of Jehovah, his God; And they shall dwell in security, For he shall be great even to the ends of the earth.
5 I on æe biti mir; kad doðe Asirac u našu zemlju, i kad stupi u dvore naše, tada æemo podignuti na nj sedam pastira i osam knezova iz naroda.
And he shall be peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, To trample upon our palaces, Then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, And eight leaders of the people,
6 I oni æe opasti zemlju Asirsku maèem i zemlju Nevrodovu na vratima njegovijem; i on æe nas izbaviti od Asirca kad doðe u našu zemlju i kad stupi na meðu našu.
And they shall devour the land of Assyria with the sword, The land of Nimrod within her gates. Thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, And treadeth in our borders.
7 I ostatak æe Jakovljev biti usred mnogih naroda kao rosa od Gospoda i kao sitan dažd po travi, koja ne èeka èovjeka niti se uzda u sinove èovjeèije.
The residue of Jacob shall be in the midst of many nations As the dew which cometh from Jehovah, As drops of rain upon the grass, Which tarrieth not for man, Nor waiteth for the sons of men.
8 I ostatak æe Jakovljev biti meðu narodima, usred mnogih naroda, kao lav meðu zvijerima šumskim, kao laviæ meðu stadima ovaca, koji kad ide tlaèi i rastrže i nema nikoga da izbavi.
The residue of Jacob shall be among the nations, In the midst of many kingdoms, As a lion among the beasts of the forest, As a young lion among flocks of sheep, Who, when he assaulteth, treadeth down and teareth, and none can deliver.
9 Ruka æe ti se uzvisiti nad protivnicima tvojim, i svi æe se neprijatelji tvoji istrijebiti.
Thy hand shall be lifted up over thine adversaries, And all thine enemies shall be destroyed!
10 I u ono æu vrijeme, govori Gospod, istrijebiti konje isred tebe i potræu kola tvoja.
It shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, That I will destroy thy horses from the midst of thee, And I will consume thy chariots;
11 I zatræu gradove u tvojoj zemlji, i razvaliæu sva tvrda mjesta tvoja;
I will destroy the fortified cities of thy land, And throw down all thy strongholds;
12 I istrijebiæu vraèanje iz ruku tvojih, i neæeš imati gatara;
I will destroy sorceries from thy borders, And soothsayers shall not be with thee.
13 I istrijebiæu likove tvoje rezane i stupove tvoje isred tebe, i neæeš se više klanjati djelu ruku svojih;
I will destroy thy graven images and thy statues from the midst of thee, And thou shalt no more bow down to the work of thine hands;
14 I iskorijeniæu gajeve tvoje isred tebe, i raskopaæu gradove tvoje,
I will root out thy Astartes from the midst of thee, And I will destroy thy fortified cities;
15 I izvršiæu osvetu s gnjevom i ljutinom na narodima koji ne slušaše.
And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury Upon the nations which have not hearkened to me.
