Micah 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Biblija Hrvatski
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.	1 A ti, Betleheme Efrato, najmanji među kneževstvima Judinim, iz tebe će mi izaći onaj koji će vladati Izraelom; njegov je iskon od davnina, od vječnih vremena.
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.	2 Zato će ih Jahve ostaviti dok ne rodi ona koja ima roditi. Tada će se ostatak njegove braće vratiti djeci Izraelovoj.
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.	3 On će se uspraviti, na pašu izvodit’ svoje stado silom Jahvinom, veličanstvom imena Boga svojega. Oni će u miru živjeti, jer će on rasprostrijeti svoju vlast sve do krajeva zemaljskih.
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.	4 On – on je mir! Ako Asirci provale u našu zemlju, ako stupe u naše dvore, podići ćemo na njih sedam pastira, osam narodnih knezova.
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.	5 Zemlju asirsku oni će mačem opasti, zemlju Nimrodovu sabljama. I on će nas osloboditi od Asiraca ako provale u našu zemlju, ako stupe na naše tlo.
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.	6 Tada će ostatak Jakovljev, među brojnim narodima, biti kao rosa koja od Jahve dolazi, kao kapljice kiše na travi koja ne čeka na čovjeka niti iščekuje sina čovječjeg.
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.	7 Tada će ostatak Jakovljev, među brojnim narodima, biti kao lav među šumskim zvijerima, kao lavić među ovčjim stadima: svaki put kad prolazi, on gazi nogama, razdire, i nitko da od njega izbavi.
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.	8 Tvoja ruka neka se podigne na protivnike, svi tvoji neprijatelji bit će zatrti!
9 Your hand will be exalted over your enemies, and all your adversaries will pass away.	9 »U onaj dan« – riječ je Jahvina – »potamanit ću sve tvoje konje, uništiti tvoja bojna kola;
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.	10 razorit ću po tvojoj zemlji svako naselje, porušiti sve tvoje tvrde gradove.
11 And I will destroy the cities of your land, and I will pull down all your fortifications, and I will take away evil-doing from your hand, and there will be no divinations among you.	11 Zatrt ću iz tvoje ruke bajanje, vračara više nećeš imati;
12 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.	12 i zatrt ću u tebi sve kipove i stupove kamene. I ti se više nećeš klanjati pred djelom ruku svojih.
13 And I will root out your sacred groves from your midst, and I will crush your cities.	13 Iskorijenit ću ašere iz tebe i razorit ću tvoje gradove.
14 And I will exact vengeance, in fury and in indignation, among all the nations which have not listened.	14 U gnjevu, u bijesu, izvršit ću osvetu na narodima koji nisu slušali.«
