New American Standard Bible
Birth of the King in Bethlehem
5 “[a]Now muster yourselves in troops, daughter of troops;
[b]They have laid siege against us;
With a rod they will (A)strike the judge of Israel on the cheek.
2 [c]But as for (B)you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Too little to be among the clans of Judah,
From (C)you One will come forth for Me to be (D)ruler in Israel.
His times of coming forth are (E)from long ago,
From the days of eternity.”
3 Therefore He will (F)give them up until the time
When she (G)who is in labor has given birth.
Then the (H)remainder of His kinsmen
Will return to the sons of Israel.
4 And He will arise and (I)shepherd His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.
And they will [d]remain,
Because [e]at that time He will be great
To the (J)ends of the earth.
5 This One (K)will be our peace.
When the (L)Assyrian invades our land,
When he tramples on our [f]citadels,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight leaders of people.
6 They will (M)shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
The land of (N)Nimrod at its entrances;
And He will (O)rescue us from the Assyrian
When he invades our land,
And when he tramples our territory.
7 Then the (P)remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like (Q)dew from the Lord,
Like (R)showers on vegetation
That do not wait for man,
Or delay for [g]mankind.
8 The remnant of Jacob
Will be among the nations,
Among many peoples
(S)Like a lion among the animals of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Which, if he passes through,
(T)Tramples and (U)tears,
And there is (V)no one who can rescue.
9 Your hand will be (W)lifted up against your adversaries,
And all your enemies will be eliminated.
10 “And it will be on that day,” declares the Lord,
“(X)That I will eliminate your (Y)horses from among you,
And destroy your chariots.
11 I will also eliminate the (Z)cities of your land,
And tear down all your (AA)fortifications.
12 I will eliminate (AB)sorceries from your hand,
And you will have no fortune-tellers.
13 (AC)I will eliminate your carved images
And your memorial stones from among you,
So that you will no longer bow down
To the work of your hands.
14 I will uproot your [h](AD)Asherim from among you,
And destroy your cities.
15 And I will (AE)execute vengeance in anger and wrath
On the nations which have not obeyed.”

A Promised Ruler From Bethlehem
5 [a]Marshal your troops now, city of troops,
for a siege is laid against us.
They will strike Israel’s ruler
on the cheek(A) with a rod.
2 “But you, Bethlehem(B) Ephrathah,(C)
though you are small among the clans[b] of Judah,
out of you will come for me
one who will be ruler(D) over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,(E)
from ancient times.”(F)
3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned(G)
until the time when she who is in labor bears a son,
and the rest of his brothers return
to join the Israelites.
4 He will stand and shepherd his flock(H)
in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they will live securely, for then his greatness(I)
will reach to the ends of the earth.
5 And he will be our peace(J)
when the Assyrians invade(K) our land
and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
even eight commanders,(L)
6 who will rule[c] the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(M) with drawn sword.[d](N)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
when they invade our land
and march across our borders.(O)
7 The remnant(P) of Jacob will be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew(Q) from the Lord,
like showers on the grass,(R)
which do not wait for anyone
or depend on man.
8 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,(S)
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles(T) as it goes,
and no one can rescue.(U)
9 Your hand will be lifted up(V) in triumph over your enemies,
and all your foes will be destroyed.
10 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“I will destroy your horses from among you
and demolish your chariots.(W)
11 I will destroy the cities(X) of your land
and tear down all your strongholds.(Y)
12 I will destroy your witchcraft
and you will no longer cast spells.(Z)
13 I will destroy your idols(AA)
and your sacred stones from among you;(AB)
you will no longer bow down
to the work of your hands.(AC)
14 I will uproot from among you your Asherah poles[e](AD)
when I demolish your cities.
15 I will take vengeance(AE) in anger and wrath
on the nations that have not obeyed me.”

Birth of the King in Bethlehem
5 “Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops;
A state of siege has been placed against us.
They shall strike the ruler of Israel on the cheek with a rod (scepter).
2
“But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Too little to be among the clans of Judah;
From you One shall come forth for Me [who is] to be Ruler in Israel,
His goings forth (appearances) are from long ago,
From [a]ancient days.”(A)
3
Therefore, He will give them up until the time
When she who is in labor has given birth to a child.
Then what is left of His kinsmen
Shall return to the children of Israel.
4
And He shall stand and shepherd and guide His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;
And they shall dwell [secure in undisturbed peace],
Because at that time He shall be great [extending His authority]
[Even] to the ends of the earth.(B)
5
This One [the Messiah] shall be our peace.
When the Assyrian invades our land
And tramples on our citadels and in our palaces,
Then shall we raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight princes [an overpowering force] among men.(C)
6
They shall devastate the land of Assyria with the sword and
The land of Nimrod within her [own] gates.
And He (the Messiah) shall rescue us from the Assyrian (all enemy nations)
When he attacks our land
And when he tramples our territory.
7
Then the remnant of Jacob
Shall be among many peoples
Like dew from the Lord,
Like showers on the grass [a source of blessing]
Which [come suddenly and] do not wait for man
Nor delay for the sons of men.(D)
8
The remnant of Jacob
Shall be among the nations,
In the midst of many peoples
Like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion [suddenly appearing] among the flocks of sheep
Which, if he passes through,
Tramples down and tears into pieces [the nations in judgment],
And there is no one to rescue.
9
Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries,
And all your enemies shall be cut off and destroyed.
10
“And in that day,” says the Lord,
“I will cut off your horses from among you
And destroy your chariots [on which you depend].(E)
11
“I will cut off the cities of your land
And tear down all your fortifications.
12
“I will cut off witchcrafts and sorceries from your hand,
And you shall have no more fortune-tellers.
13
“I will also cut off your carved images
And your sacred pillars from among you,
So that you will no longer worship and bow down
To the work of your hands.
14
“I will root out your Asherim (symbols of the goddess Asherah) from among you
And destroy your cities [which are the centers of pagan worship].(F)
15
“And in anger and wrath I shall execute vengeance
On the nations which have not obeyed [such vengeance as they have not known before].”

5 Agora, ajunta-te em esquadrões, ó filha de esquadrões; pôr-se-á cerco contra nós; ferirão com a vara no queixo ao juiz de Israel.
Predição do nascimento do Messias e da instituição do seu Reino
2 E tu, Belém Efrata, posto que pequena entre milhares de Judá, de ti me sairá o que será Senhor em Israel, e cujas origens são desde os tempos antigos, desde os dias da eternidade. 3 Portanto, os entregará até ao tempo em que a que está de parto tiver dado à luz; então, o resto de seus irmãos voltará com os filhos de Israel. 4 E ele permanecerá e apascentará o povo na força do Senhor, na excelência do nome do Senhor, seu Deus; e eles permanecerão, porque agora será ele engrandecido até aos fins da terra. 5 E este será a nossa paz. Quando a Assíria vier à nossa terra e quando passar sobre os nossos palácios, levantaremos contra ela sete pastores e oito príncipes dentre os homens. 6 Esses consumirão a terra da Assíria à espada e a terra de Ninrode, nas suas entradas. Assim, nos livrará da Assíria, quando vier à nossa terra e quando calcar os nossos termos.
7 E estará o resto de Jacó no meio de muitos povos, como orvalho do Senhor, como chuvisco sobre a erva, que não espera pelo homem, nem aguarda filhos de homens. 8 E o resto de Jacó estará entre as nações, no meio de muitos povos, como um leão entre os animais do bosque, como um leãozinho entre os rebanhos de ovelhas, o qual, quando passar, as pisará e despedaçará, sem que haja quem as livre.
9 A tua mão se exaltará sobre os teus adversários; e todos os teus inimigos serão exterminados. 10 E sucederá, naquele dia, diz o Senhor, que eu exterminarei no meio de ti os teus cavalos e destruirei os teus carros; 11 e destruirei as cidades da tua terra e derribarei todas as tuas fortalezas; 12 e tirarei as feitiçarias da tua mão, e não terás agoureiros; 13 e arrancarei do meio de ti as tuas imagens de escultura e as tuas estátuas; e tu não te inclinarás mais diante da obra das tuas mãos. 14 E arrancarei os teus bosques do meio de ti; e destruirei as tuas cidades. 15 E, com ira e com furor, exercerei vingança sobre as nações que não ouvem.

5 Reúna suas tropas,
ó cidade das tropas,[a]
pois há um cerco contra nós.
O líder de Israel será ferido na face,
com uma vara.
O Governante que Virá de Belém
2 “Mas tu, Belém-Efrata,
embora pequena
entre os clãs[b] de Judá,
de ti virá para mim
aquele que será
o governante sobre Israel.
Suas origens[c] estão no passado distante,
em tempos antigos.[d]”
3 Por isso os israelitas serão abandonados
até que aquela
que está em trabalho de parto
dê à luz.
Então o restante dos irmãos
do governante
voltará para unir-se aos israelitas.
4 Ele se estabelecerá e os pastoreará
na força do Senhor,
na majestade do nome do Senhor,
o seu Deus.
E eles viverão em segurança,
pois a grandeza dele
alcançará os confins da terra.
5 Ele será a sua paz.
Livramento e Destruição
Quando os assírios
invadirem a nossa terra
e marcharem sobre as nossas fortalezas,
levantaremos contra eles sete pastores,
até oito líderes escolhidos.
6 Eles pastorearão[e] a Assíria
com a espada,
e a terra de Ninrode
com a espada empunhada[f].
Eles nos livrarão quando os assírios
invadirem a nossa terra,
e entrarem por nossas fronteiras.
7 O remanescente de Jacó estará
no meio de muitos povos
como orvalho da parte do Senhor,
como aguaceiro sobre a relva;
não porá sua esperança no homem
nem dependerá dos seres humanos.
8 O remanescente de Jacó
estará entre as nações,
no meio de muitos povos,
como um leão
entre os animais da floresta,
como um leão forte
entre rebanhos de ovelhas,
leão que, quando ataca,
destroça e mutila a presa,
sem que ninguém a possa livrar.
9 Sua mão se levantará
contra os seus adversários,
e todos os seus inimigos
serão destruídos.
10 “Naquele dia”, declara o Senhor,
“matarei os seus cavalos
e destruirei os seus carros de guerra.
11 Destruirei também
as cidades da sua terra
e arrasarei todas as suas fortalezas.
12 Acabarei com a sua feitiçaria,
e vocês não farão mais adivinhações.
13 Destruirei as suas imagens esculpidas
e as suas colunas sagradas;
vocês não se curvarão mais
diante da obra de suas mãos.
14 Desarraigarei do meio de vocês
os seus postes sagrados
e derrubarei os seus ídolos[g].
15 Com ira e indignação me vingarei
das nações que não me obedeceram.”
