Mihej 5
1 Saberi se sada u èete, èetnice, opsjedi nas, neka biju prutom po obrazu sudiju Izrailjeva.
Now come together in battle ranks, daughter of soldiers; the soldiers have set up a siege around city, with a rod they will strike the judge of Israel on the cheek.
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 you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, even though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come to me to rule in Israel, whose beginning is from ancient times, from everlasting.
3 Zato æe ih ostaviti dokle ne rodi ona koja æe roditi; tada æe se ostatak braæe njegove vratiti sa sinovima Izrailjevijem.
Therefore God will give them up, until the time when she who is in labor bears a child, and the rest of his brothers return to the people 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 will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of Yahweh, in the majesty of the name of Yahweh his God. They will remain, for then he will be great 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.
For this shall be the peace— when the Assyrians come into our land, and when they march against our fortresses, then we will raise against them seven shepherds and eight leaders over men.
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.
They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its entrances. He will rescue us from the Assyrians, when they come into our land, when they march inside 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 remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from Yahweh, like showers on the grass, that do not wait for a man, and they do not wait for the children of mankind.
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 remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, among many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep. When he goes through them, he will trample over them and tear them to pieces, and there will be no one to save them.
9 Ruka æe ti se uzvisiti nad protivnicima tvojim, i svi æe se neprijatelji tvoji istrijebiti.
Your hand will be lifted against your enemies, and it will destroy them.
10 I u ono æu vrijeme, govori Gospod, istrijebiti konje isred tebe i potræu kola tvoja.
“It will happen in that day”—this is Yahweh's declaration— “that I will destroy your horses from among you and will demolish your chariots.
11 I zatræu gradove u tvojoj zemlji, i razvaliæu sva tvrda mjesta tvoja;
I will destroy the cities in your land and throw down all your strongholds.
12 I istrijebiæu vraèanje iz ruku tvojih, i neæeš imati gatara;
I will destroy the witchcraft in your hand, and you will no longer have any diviners.
13 I istrijebiæu likove tvoje rezane i stupove tvoje isred tebe, i neæeš se više klanjati djelu ruku svojih;
I will destroy your carved figures and your stone pillars from among you. You will no longer worship the workmanship of your hands.
14 I iskorijeniæu gajeve tvoje isred tebe, i raskopaæu gradove tvoje,
I will uproot your Asherah poles from among you, and I will destroy your cities.
15 I izvršiæu osvetu s gnjevom i ljutinom na narodima koji ne slušaše.
I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations that have not listened.”
