NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 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 Propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus, in quo parturiens pariet; et reliquiae fratrum eius convertentur ad filios Israel.	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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos, et omnes inimici tui interibunt.	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 “Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus, auferam equos tuos de medio tui et disperdam quadrigas tuas	9 Your hand will be exalted over your enemies, and all your adversaries will pass away.
10 et perdam civitates terrae tuae et destruam omnes munitiones 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 auferam veneficia de manu tua, et divini 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 lapides tuos 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 palos tuos de medio tui et conteram idola tua.	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, quae non audierunt ”.	14 And I will exact vengeance, in fury and in indignation, among all the nations which have not listened.
