Micah 5
1 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.
nunc vastaberis filia latronis obsidionem posuerunt super nos in virga percutient maxillam iudicis Israhel
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among 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.
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
3 Therefore he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.
propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus in quo parturiens pariet reliquiae fratrum eius convertentur ad filios Israhel
4 He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of Yahweh, in the majesty of the name of Yahweh his God. They will live, for then he will 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 terrae
5 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.
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
6 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.
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 The remnant of Jacob will be among many peoples like dew from Yahweh, like showers on the grass, that don’t wait for man nor wait for 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 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, among many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one 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 Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.
exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos et omnes inimici tui interibunt
10 “It will happen in that day”, says Yahweh, “that I will cut off your horses from among you and will destroy your chariots.
et erit in die illa dicit Dominus auferam equos tuos de medio tui et disperdam quadrigas tuas
11 I will cut off the cities of your land and will tear down all your strongholds.
et perdam civitates terrae tuae et destruam omnes munitiones tuas
12 I will destroy witchcraft from your hand. You shall have no soothsayers.
et auferam maleficia de manu tua et divinationes non erunt in te
13 I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars from among you; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
et perire faciam sculptilia tua et statuas tuas de medio tui et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum
14 I will uproot your Asherah poles from among you; and I will destroy your cities.
et evellam lucos tuos de medio tui et conteram civitates tuas
15 I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations that didn’t listen.”
et faciam in furore et in indignatione ultionem in omnibus gentibus quae non audierunt
