Michea 5

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Sed tu, Bethlehem Ephratha, parvulus in milibus Iudae, ex te mihi egredietur, qui sit dominator in Israel; et egressus eius a temporibus antiquis, a diebus aeternitatis.	1 Now shalt thou be laid waste, O daughter of the robber: they have laid siege against us, with a rod shall they strike the cheek of the judge of Israel.
2 Propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus, in quo parturiens pariet; et reliquiae fratrum eius convertentur ad filios Israel.	2 AND THOU, BETHLEHEM Ephrata, art a little one among the thousands of Juda: out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be the ruler in Israel: and his going forth is from the beginning, from the days of eternity.
3 Et stabit et pascet in fortitudine Domini, in sublimitate nominis Domini Dei sui; et habitabunt secure, quia nunc magnus erit usque ad terminos terrae,	3 Therefore will he give them up even till the time wherein she that travaileth shall bring forth: and the remnant of his brethren shall be converted to the children of Israel.
4 et erit iste pax. Assyrius cum venerit in terram nostram et quando calcaverit in domibus nostris, suscitabimus super eum septem pastores et octo primates hominum.	4 And he shall stand, and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the height of the name of the Lord his God: and they shall be converted, for now shall he be magnified even to the ends of the earth.
5 Et pascent terram Assyriae in gladio et terram Nemrod in lanceis; et liberabit ab Assyrio, cum venerit in terram nostram et cum calcaverit in finibus nostris.	5 And this man shall be our peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall set his foot in our houses: and we shall raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
6 Et erunt reliquiae Iacob in medio populorum multorum quasi ros a Domino et quasi imbres super herbam, quae non exspectat virum et non praestolatur filios homi num.	6 And they shall feed the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nemrod with the spears thereof: and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our borders.
7 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.	7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as a dew from the Lord, and as drops upon the grass, which waiteth not for man, nor tarrieth for the children of men.
8 Exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos, et omnes inimici tui interibunt.	8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples as a lion among the beasts of the forests, and as a young lion among the docks of sheep: who when he shall go through and tread down, and take, there is none to deliver.
9 “Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus, auferam equos tuos de medio tui et disperdam quadrigas tuas	9 Thy hand shall be lifted up over thy enemies, and all thy enemies shall be cut off.
10 et perdam civitates terrae tuae et destruam omnes munitiones tuas.	10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I will take away thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots.
11 Et auferam veneficia de manu tua, et divini non erunt in te.	11 And I will destroy the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strong holds, and I will take away sorceries out of thy hand, and there shall be no divinations in thee.
12 Et perire faciam sculptilia tua et lapides tuos de medio tui, et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum;	12 And I will destroy thy graven things, and thy statues out of the midst of thee: and thou shalt no more adore the works of thy hands.
13 et evellam palos tuos de medio tui et conteram idola tua.	13 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: and will crush thy cities.
14 Et faciam in furore et in indignatione ultionem in omnibus gentibus, quae non audierunt ”.	14 And I will execute vengeance in wrath and in indignation among all the nations that have not given ear.
