Micah 5
1 Now you will be devastated, you daughter of a robber. They have placed a blockade against us, with a rod they will strike the jaw of the judge of Israel.
Sedaj se zberi v krdela, oh hči krdel. Zoper nas je položil obleganje. Izraelovega sodnika bodo s palico udarjali na lice.
2 And you, Bethlehem Ephrata, are a little one among the thousands of Judah. From you will go forth he who shall be the ruler in Israel, and his landing place has been set from the beginning, from the days of eternity.
Toda ti, Betlehem Efráta, čeprav si majhen med Judovimi tisočimi, vendar bo iz tebe prišel k meni tisti, ki bo vladar v Izraelu, katerega izhodi so bili od davnine, od večnosti.
3 Because of this, he will provide for them, even until the time in which she who bears him gives birth. And the remnant of his brothers will be converted to the sons of Israel.
Zato jih bo predal do časa, ko tista, ki je imela porodne muke, rodi. Potem se bo preostanek njegovih bratov vrnil k Izraelovim otrokom.
4 And he will stand firm and feed on the strength of the Lord, according to the sublime name of the Lord his God. And they will be converted, for now he will be magnified, even to the ends of the earth.
In stal bo in pasel v Gospodovi moči, v veličastvu imena Gospoda, svojega Boga; in oni bodo prebivali, kajti sedaj bo velik do koncev zemlje.
5 And this man will be our peace, when the Assyrian will come into our land, and when he will trample on our houses; and we will raise against him seven shepherds and eight principal men.
In ta mož bo mir, ko bo Asirec prišel v našo deželo, in ko bo teptal v naših palačah, takrat bomo zoper njega vzdignili sedem pastirjev in osem glavnih mož.
6 And they will graze on the land of Assur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with its spears; and he will free us from Assur, when he will come into our land, and when he will trample our borders.
In z mečem bodo opustošili deželo Asirije in Nimródovo deželo na njenih vhodih. Tako nas bo osvobodil pred Asirci, ko pride v našo deželo in ko mendra znotraj naših meja.
7 And there will be a remnant of Jacob in the midst of many peoples, like a dew from the Lord and like drops upon the grass, which awaits no man and does not stand before the sons of men.
Jakobov preostanek bo v sredi številnih ljudstev, kakor rosa od Gospoda, kakor nalivi na travo, ki ne čakajo na človeka niti ne čakajo na človeške sinove.
8 And there will be a remnant of Jacob within the Gentiles, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forests, and like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, when he will pass through and trample down and seize, there is none who can rescue.
Jakobov preostanek bo med pogani v sredi številnega ljudstva kakor lev med gozdnimi živalmi, kakor mlad lev med tropi ovc. Če gre ta skozi, tako pomendra kakor raztrga na koščke in nihče ne more osvoboditi.
9 Your hand will be exalted over your enemies, and all your adversaries will pass away.
Tvoja roka bo vzdignjena nad tvoje nasprotnike in vsi tvoji sovražniki bodo iztrebljeni.
10 And it will be in that day, says the Lord: I will take away your horses from your midst, and I will utterly ruin your four-horse chariots.
In zgodilo se bo na tisti dan, « govori Gospod, »da bom iz tvoje srede iztrebil tvoje konje in uničil tvoje bojne vozove
11 And I will destroy the cities of your land, and I will pull down all your fortifications,
in iztrebil bom mesta tvoje dežele in zrušil vsa tvoja oporišča
12 and I will take away evil-doing from your hand, and there will be no divinations among you.
in iztrebil bom čaranja iz tvoje roke in ne boš več imel napovedovalcev usode.
13 And I will cause your graven images to perish, and your statues, from your midst. And you will no longer adore the works of your hands.
Tudi tvoje rezane podobe bom iztrebil in tvoje stoječe podobe iz tvoje srede in ne boš več oboževal dela svojih rok.
14 And I will root out your sacred groves from your midst, and I will crush your cities.
Izruval bom tvoje ašere iz tvoje srede. Tako bom uničil tvoja mesta.
15 And I will exact vengeance, in fury and in indignation, among all the nations which have not listened.
Nad pogani bom izvršil maščevanje v jezi in razjarjenosti, takšno, o kakršnem niso slišali.«
