Michaeas 5

1 Now shall the daughter [of Sion] be completely hedged in: he has laid siege against us: they shall strike the tribes of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

Nunc vastaberis filia latronis: obsidionem posuerunt super nos, in virga percutient maxillam iudicis Israel.

2 And you, Bethleem, house of Ephratha, are few in number to be [reckoned] among the thousands of Juda; [yet] out of you shall one come forth to me, to be a ruler of Israel; and his goings forth were from the beginning, [even] from eternity.

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 aeternitatis.

3 Therefore shall he appoint them [to wait] till the time of her that travails: she shall bring forth, and [then] the remnant of their brethren shall return to the children of Israel.

Propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus, in quo parturiens pariet: et reliquiae fratrum eius convertentur ad filios Israel.

4 And the Lord shall stand, and see, and feed his flock with power, and they shall dwell in the glory of the name of the Lord their God: for now shall they be magnified 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 terrae.

5 And she shall have peace when Assur shall come into your land, and when he shall come up upon your country; and there shall be raised up against him seven shepherds, and eight attacks of 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 tend the Assyrian with a sword, and the land of Nebrod with her trench: and he shall deliver [you] from the Assyrian, when he shall come upon your land, and when he shall invade your coasts.

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 among the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples, as dew falling from the Lord, and as lambs on the grass; that none may assemble nor resist among the sons of men.

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.

8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many nations, as a lion in the forest among cattle, and as a [lion's] whelp among the flocks of sheep, even as when he goes through, and selects, and carries off [his prey], and there is none to deliver.

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.

9 Your hand shall be lifted up against them that afflict you, and all your enemies shall be utterly destroyed.

Et exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos, et omnes inimici tui interibunt.

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] I will utterly destroy the horses out of the midst of you, and destroy your chariots;

Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus: Auferam equos tuos de medio tui, et disperdam quadrigas tuas.

11 and I will utterly destroy the cities of your land, and demolish all your strongholds:

Et perdam civitates terrae tuae, et destruam omnes munitiones tuas,

12 and I will utterly destroy your sorceries out of your hands; and there shall be no soothsayers in you.

et auferam maleficia de manu tua, et divinationes non erunt in te.

13 And I will utterly destroy your graven images, and your statues out of the midst of you; and you shall never any more worship the works of your hands.

Et perire faciam sculptilia tua, et statuas tuas de medio tui: et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum.

14 And I will cut off the groves out of the midst of you, and I will abolish your cities.

Et evellam lucos tuos de medio tui: et conteram civitates tuas.

15 and I will execute vengeance on the heathen in anger and wrath, because they listened not.

Et faciam in furore et in indignatione ultionem in omnibus gentibus, quae non audierunt.
