Michaeas 5

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Nunc vastaberis, filia latronis. Obsidionem posuerunt super nos : in virga percutient maxillam judicis Israël.	1 But you (Bethlehem) Ephrathah, the least of the clans of Judah, from you will come for me a future rulerof Israel whose origins go back to the distant past, to the days of old.
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 Hence Yahweh will abandon them only until she who is in labour gives birth, and then those who surviveof his race wil be reunited to the Israelites.
3 Propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus in quo parturiens pariet, et reliquiæ fratrum ejus convertentur ad filios Israël.	3 He wil take his stand and he wil shepherd them with the power of Yahweh, with the majesty of thename of his God, and they wil be secure, for his greatness wil extend henceforth to the most distant parts of thecountry.
4 Et stabit, et pascet in fortitudine Domini, in sublimitate nominis Domini Dei sui : et convertentur, quia nunc magnificabitur usque ad terminos terræ.	4 He himself wil be peace! Should the Assyrian invade our country, should he set foot in our land, weshall raise seven shepherds against him, eight leaders of men;
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 they wil shepherd Assyria with the sword, the country of Nimrod with naked blade. He will save us fromthe Assyrian, should he invade our country, should he set foot inside our frontiers.
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 Then what is left of Jacob, surrounded by many peoples, wil be like a dew from Yahweh, like showerson the grass, which do not depend on human agency and are beyond human control.
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 Then what is left of Jacob, surrounded by many peoples, wil be like a lion among the forest beasts, like a fierce lion among flocks of sheep trampling as he goes, mangling his prey which no one takes from him.
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 You wil be victorious over your foes and al your enemies will be torn to pieces.
9 Exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos, et omnes inimici tui interibunt.	9 When that day comes- declares Yahweh- I shal tear your horses away from you, I shal destroy yourchariots;
10 Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus : auferam equos tuos de medio tui, et disperdam quadrigas tuas.	10 I shall tear the cities from your country, I shal overthrow all your fortresses;
11 Et perdam civitates terræ tuæ, et destruam omnes munitiones tuas : et auferam maleficia de manu tua, et divinationes non erunt in te :	11 I shall tear the spells out of your hands and you wil have no more soothsayers;
12 et perire faciam sculptilia tua et statuas tuas de medio tui, et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum :	12 I shall tear away your images and your sacred pillars from among you, and no longer wil you worshipthings which your own hands have made!
13 et evellam lucos tuos de medio tui, et conteram civitates tuas.	13 I shall uproot your sacred poles and shal destroy your cities!
14 Et faciam, in furore et in indignatione, ultionem in omnibus gentibus quæ non audierunt.	14 In furious anger I shal wreak vengeance on the nations who have disobeyed me!
