Michea 5

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
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 But you, Bethlehem-Ephrathah too small to be among the clans of Judah, From you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; Whose origin is from of old, from ancient times.
2 Propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus, in quo parturiens pariet; et reliquiae fratrum eius convertentur ad filios Israel.	2 (Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time when she who is to give birth has borne, And the rest of his brethren shall return to the children of Israel.)
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 He shall stand firm and shepherd his flock by the strength of the LORD, in the majestic name of the LORD, his God; And they shall remain, for now his greatness shall reach to the ends of the earth;
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 he shall be peace. If Assyria invades our country and treads upon our land, We shall raise against it seven shepherds, eight men of royal rank;
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 they shall tend the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword; And we shall be delivered from Assyria, if it invades our land and treads upon our borders.
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 The remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples, Like dew coming from the LORD, like raindrops on the grass, Which wait for no man, nor tarry for the sons of men.
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 among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, Like a lion among beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep; When it passes through, it tramples and tears, and there is none to deliver.
8 Exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos, et omnes inimici tui interibunt.	8 Your hand shall be lifted above your foes, and all your enemies shall be destroyed.
9 “Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus, auferam equos tuos de medio tui et disperdam quadrigas tuas	9 On that day, says the LORD, I will destroy the horses from your midst and ruin your chariots;
10 et perdam civitates terrae tuae et destruam omnes munitiones tuas.	10 I will demolish the cities of your land and tear down all your fortresses.
11 Et auferam veneficia de manu tua, et divini non erunt in te.	11 I will abolish the means of divination from your use, and there shall no longer be soothsayers among you.
12 Et perire faciam sculptilia tua et lapides tuos de medio tui, et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum;	12 I will abolish your carved images and the sacred pillars from your midst; And you shall no longer adore the works of your hands.
13 et evellam palos tuos de medio tui et conteram idola tua.	13 I will tear out the sacred poles from your midst, and destroy your cities.
14 Et faciam in furore et in indignatione ultionem in omnibus gentibus, quae non audierunt ”.	14 I will wreak vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that have not hearkened.
