Micah 5
1 Now thou shall gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Nunc vastaberis filia latronis: obsidionem posuerunt super nos, in virga percutient maxillam iudicis Israel.
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, which are little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee he shall come forth to me who is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
ET TU BETHLEHEM Ephrata parvulus es in millibus Iuda: ex te mihi egredietur qui sit dominator in Israel, et egressus eius ab initio, a diebus æternitatis.
3 Therefore he will give them up until the time that she who travails has brought forth. Then the residue of his brothers shall return to the sons of Israel.
Propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus, in quo parturiens pariet: et reliquiæ fratrum eius convertentur ad filios Israel.
4 And he shall stand, and shall feed his flock in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God, and they shall abide. For now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.
Et stabit, et pascet in fortitudine Domini, in sublimitate nominis Domini Dei sui: et convertentur, quia nunc magnificabitur usque ad terminos terræ.
5 And this man shall be our peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then we shall raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
Et erit iste pax: cum venerit Assyrius in terram nostram, et quando calcaverit domibus nostris: et suscitabimus super eum septem pastores, et octo primates homines:
6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances of it. And he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he comes into our land, and when he treads within our border.
Et pascent terram Assur in gladio, et terram Nemrod in lanceis eius: et liberabit ab Assur cum venerit in terram nostram, et cum calcaverit in finibus nostris.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarry not for man, nor wait for the sons of men.
Et erunt reliquiæ Iacob in medio populorum multorum quasi ros a Domino, et quasi stillæ super herbam, quæ non exspectat virum, et non præstolatur filios hominum.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
Et erunt reliquiæ Iacob in Gentibus in medio populorum multorum, quasi leo in iumentis silvarum, et quasi catulus leonis in gregibus pecorum: qui cum transierit, et conculcaverit, et ceperit, non est qui eruat.
9 Let thy hand be lifted up above thine adversaries, and let all thine enemies be cut off.
Exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos, et omnes inimici tui interibunt.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, says Jehovah, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots,
Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus: Auferam equos tuos de medio tui, et disperdam quadrigas tuas.
11 and I will cut off the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strongholds.
Et perdam civitates terræ tuæ, et destruam omnes munitiones tuas,
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy hand, and thou shall have no more soothsayers.
et auferam maleficia de manu tua, et divinationes non erunt in te.
13 And I will cut off thy graven images and thy pillars out of the midst of thee, and thou shall no more worship the work of thy hands.
Et perire faciam sculptilia tua, et statuas tuas de medio tui: et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum.
14 And I will pluck up thine Asherim out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities.
Et evellam lucos tuos de medio tui: et conteram civitates tuas.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that did not hearken.
Et faciam in furore et in indignatione ultionem in omnibus gentibus, quæ non audierunt.
