VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Nunc vastaberis, filia latronis. Obsidionem posuerunt super nos : in virga percutient maxillam judicis Israël.	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.
2 Et tu, Bethlehem Ephrata, parvulus es in millibus Juda ; ex te mihi egredietur qui sit dominator in Israël, et egressus ejus ab initio, a diebus æternitatis.	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.
3 Propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus in quo parturiens pariet, et reliquiæ fratrum ejus convertentur ad filios Israël.	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.
4 Et stabit, et pascet in fortitudine Domini, in sublimitate nominis Domini Dei sui : et convertentur, quia nunc magnificabitur usque ad terminos terræ.	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.
5 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 ;	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.
6 et pascent terram Assur in gladio, et terram Nemrod in lanceis ejus, et liberabit ab Assur cum venerit in terram nostram, et cum calcaverit in finibus nostris.	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.
7 Et erunt reliquiæ Jacob in medio populorum multorum quasi ros a Domino, et quasi stillæ super herbam, quæ non exspectat virum, et non præstolatur filios hominum.	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.
8 Et erunt reliquiæ Jacob in gentibus, in medio populorum multorum, quasi leo in jumentis silvarum, et quasi catulus leonis in gregibus pecorum, qui cum transierit, et conculcaverit, et ceperit, non est qui eruat.	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.
9 Exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos, et omnes inimici tui interibunt.	9 Your hand will be exalted over your enemies, and all your adversaries will pass away.
10 Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus : auferam equos tuos de medio tui, et disperdam quadrigas tuas.	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.
11 Et perdam civitates terræ tuæ, et destruam omnes munitiones tuas : et auferam maleficia de manu tua, et divinationes non erunt in te :	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.
12 et perire faciam sculptilia tua et statuas tuas de medio tui, et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum :	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.
13 et evellam lucos tuos de medio tui, et conteram civitates tuas.	13 And I will root out your sacred groves from your midst, and I will crush your cities.
14 Et faciam, in furore et in indignatione, ultionem in omnibus gentibus quæ non audierunt.	14 And I will exact vengeance, in fury and in indignation, among all the nations which have not listened.
