From Defeated Ruler to Conquering King
5 Now, daughter who is under attack,
you slash yourself in grief;
a siege is set against us!
They are striking the judge(A) of Israel
on the cheek with a rod.
2 Bethlehem Ephrathah,(B)
you are small among the clans of Judah;
one will come from you(C)
to be ruler over Israel for me.(D)
His origin[a] is from antiquity,(E)
from ancient times.
3 Therefore, Israel will be abandoned(F) until the time
when she who is in labour(G) has given birth;
then the rest of the ruler’s brothers(H) will return
to the people of Israel.(I)
4 He will stand and shepherd them(J)
in the strength of the Lord,
in the majestic name of the Lord his God.
They will live securely,
for then his greatness will extend
to the ends of the earth.(K)
5 He will be their peace.(L)
When Assyria invades our land,(M)
when it marches against our fortresses,
we will raise against it seven shepherds,
even eight leaders of men.
6 They will shepherd(N) the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(O) with a drawn blade.[b]
So he will rescue us(P) from Assyria
when it invades our land,
when it marches against our territory.
The Glorious and Purified Remnant
7 Then the remnant of Jacob(Q)
will be among many peoples
like dew from the Lord,(R)
like showers on the grass,(S)
which do not wait for anyone
or linger for mankind.
8 Then the remnant of Jacob
will be among the nations, among many peoples,
like a lion among animals of the forest,(T)
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which tramples(U) and tears(V) as it passes through,
and there is no one to rescue them.(W)
9 Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries,(X)
and all your enemies will be destroyed.
10 In that day –
this is the Lord’s declaration –
I will remove your horses from you(Y)
and wreck your chariots.
11 I will remove the cities of your land(Z)
and tear down all your fortresses.(AA)
12 I will remove sorceries from your hands,(AB)
and you will not have any more fortune-tellers.
13 I will remove your carved images(AC)
and sacred pillars from you
so that you will no longer worship
the work of your hands.
14 I will pull up the Asherah poles(AD) from among you(AE)
and demolish your cities.[c]
15 I will take vengeance in anger and wrath(AF)
against the nations that have not obeyed me.

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.”

Reinado del libertador
5 [a]Reúne ahora tus tropas, hija de guerreros;
Han puesto sitio contra nosotros.
Con una vara herirán en la mejilla(A) al juez de Israel.
2 [b]Pero tú, Belén Efrata(B),
Aunque eres pequeña entre las familias de Judá,
De ti me saldrá el que ha de ser gobernante en Israel(C).
Y sus orígenes son desde tiempos antiguos,
Desde los días de la eternidad(D).
3 Por tanto, Él los abandonará(E) hasta el tiempo
En que dé a luz la que ha de dar a luz(F).
Entonces el resto de sus hermanos
Volverá a los israelitas(G).
4 Y Él se afirmará y pastoreará Su rebaño(H)
Con el poder del Señor,
Con la majestad del nombre del Señor Su Dios.
Y permanecerán,
Porque en aquel tiempo Él será engrandecido
Hasta los confines de la tierra(I).
5 Él será nuestra paz(J).
Cuando el asirio invada nuestra tierra(K),
Y cuando pisotee nuestros palacios,
Levantaremos contra él
Siete pastores y ocho príncipes del pueblo.
6 Y ellos pastorearán la tierra de Asiria con espada(L),
La tierra de Nimrod(M) en sus puertas;
Él nos librará del asirio
Cuando invada nuestra tierra
Y pisotee nuestro territorio(N).
7 ¶Entonces el remanente de Jacob(O),
En medio de muchos pueblos,
Será como rocío que viene del Señor(P),
Como lluvias sobre la hierba(Q)
Que no espera al hombre
Ni aguarda a los hijos de los hombres.
8 El remanente de Jacob
Será entre las naciones,
En medio de muchos pueblos,
Como león entre las fieras de la selva(R),
Como leoncillo entre los rebaños de ovejas,
Que si pasa,
Pisotea y desgarra(S),
Y no hay quien libre(T).
9 Se alzará tu mano contra tus adversarios,
Y todos tus enemigos serán exterminados(U).
10 ¶«Y sucederá en aquel día», declara el Señor,
«Que exterminaré tus caballos de en medio de ti,
También destruiré tus carros(V).
11 -»Exterminaré además las ciudades de tu tierra(W),
Y derribaré todas tus fortalezas(X).
12 -»Exterminaré las hechicerías de tu mano,
Y no tendrás más adivinos(Y).
13 -»Exterminaré tus imágenes talladas
Y tus pilares sagrados de en medio de ti,
Y ya no te postrarás más
Ante la obra de tus manos(Z).
14 -»Arrancaré tus Aseras[c](AA) de en medio de ti,
Y destruiré tus ciudades.
15 -»Y con ira y furor tomaré venganza(AB)
De las naciones que no obedecieron».
