Micha Propheta 5

1 nunc vastaberis filia latronis obsidionem posuerunt super nos in virga percutient maxillam iudicis Israhel

Now shalt thou gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

2 et tu Bethleem Ephrata parvulus es in milibus Iuda ex te mihi egredietur qui sit dominator in Israhel et egressus eius ab initio a diebus aeternitatis

But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.

3 propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus in quo parturiens pariet reliquiae fratrum eius convertentur ad filios Israhel

Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.

4 et stabit et pascet in fortitudine Domini in sublimitate nominis Domini Dei sui et convertentur quia nunc magnificabitur usque ad terminos terrae

And he shall stand, and shall feed [his flock] in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God: and they shall abide; for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.

5 et erit iste pax Assyrius cum venerit in terram nostram et quando calcaverit in domibus nostris et suscitabimus super eum septem pastores et octo primates homines

And this [man] shall be [our] peace: when the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.

6 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

And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our border.

7 et erunt reliquiae Iacob in medio populorum multorum quasi ros a Domino et quasi stillae super herbam quae non expectat virum et non praestolatur filios hominum

And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from the LORD, as showers upon the grass; that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.

8 et erunt reliquiae 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

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 go through, treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver.

9 exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos et omnes inimici tui interibunt

Let thine hand be lifted up above thine adversaries, and let all thine enemies be cut off.

10 et erit in die illa dicit Dominus auferam equos tuos de medio tui et disperdam quadrigas tuas

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots:

11 et perdam civitates terrae tuae et destruam omnes munitiones tuas

and I will cut off the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strong holds:

12 et auferam maleficia de manu tua et divinationes non erunt in te

And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no [more] soothsayers:

13 et perire faciam sculptilia tua et statuas tuas de medio tui et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum

and I will cut off thy graven images and thy pillars out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.

14 et evellam lucos tuos de medio tui et conteram civitates tuas

and I will pluck up thine Asherim out of the midst of thee: and I will destroy thy cities.

15 et faciam in furore et in indignatione ultionem in omnibus gentibus quae non audierunt

And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the nations which hearkened not.
