Prophetia Michaeae

Michaeae, chapter 5, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 5 Vulgate

   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.
   2 Propter hoc dabit eos usque ad tempus, in quo parturiens pariet; et reliquiae fratrum eius convertentur ad filios 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,
   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.
   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.
   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.
   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.
   8 Exaltabitur manus tua super hostes tuos, et omnes inimici tui interibunt.
   9 "Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus, auferam equos tuos de medio tui et disperdam quadrigas tuas
   10 et perdam civitates terrae tuae et destruam omnes munitiones tuas.
   11 Et auferam veneficia de manu tua, et divini non erunt in te.
   12 Et perire faciam sculptilia tua et lapides tuos de medio tui, et non adorabis ultra opera manuum tuarum;
   13 et evellam palos tuos de medio tui et conteram idola tua.
   14 Et faciam in furore et in indignatione ultionem in omnibus gentibus, quae non audierunt".

King James Version

   1 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
   2 But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
   3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
   4 ¶ And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
   5 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
   6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
   7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
   8 ¶ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
   9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
   10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:
   11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
   12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
   13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
   14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
   15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
