Mihej 5
1 Saberi se sada u èete, èetnice, opsjedi nas, neka biju prutom po obrazu sudiju Izrailjeva.
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 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, 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 Zato æe ih ostaviti dokle ne rodi ona koja æe roditi; tada æe se ostatak braæe njegove vratiti sa sinovima Izrailjevijem.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Ruka æe ti se uzvisiti nad protivnicima tvojim, i svi æe se neprijatelji tvoji istrijebiti.
Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.
10 I u ono æu vrijeme, govori Gospod, istrijebiti konje isred tebe i potræu kola tvoja.
“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 I zatræu gradove u tvojoj zemlji, i razvaliæu sva tvrda mjesta tvoja;
I will cut off the cities of your land and will tear down all your strongholds.
12 I istrijebiæu vraèanje iz ruku tvojih, i neæeš imati gatara;
I will destroy witchcraft from your hand. You shall have no soothsayers.
13 I istrijebiæu likove tvoje rezane i stupove tvoje isred tebe, i neæeš se više klanjati djelu ruku svojih;
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 I iskorijeniæu gajeve tvoje isred tebe, i raskopaæu gradove tvoje,
I will uproot your Asherah poles from amongst 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 didn’t listen.”
