Koning in de kracht van de Here
5 Bethlehem in Efrata, u bent een van de kleinste steden in Juda, maar toch zult u de geboorteplaats zijn van onze koning van wie de oorsprong in lang vervlogen tijden ligt. 2 God zal zijn volk prijsgeven aan hun vijanden, maar alleen totdat zij die zwanger is een kind ter wereld heeft gebracht. Dan zullen de overgebleven ballingen van Juda met hun broeders uit Israël terugkeren naar hun eigen land. 3 Hij zal zijn kudde weiden in de kracht van de Here, in de majesteit van de Here, zijn God. Zijn volk zal daar rustig wonen, want Hij zal heersen over de hele wereld. 4 En Hij zal onze vrede zijn. Wanneer de Assyriërs ons land binnenvallen en onze paleizen betreden, zal Hij zeven herders en acht vorsten tegen hen aanstellen. 5 Zij zullen over Assyrië heersen met getrokken zwaarden en door de poorten van het land van Nimrod gaan. Als de Assyriërs ons land binnenvallen, zal Hij ons van hen verlossen.
6 Dan zal de rest van het volk Israël voor de hele wereld zijn als een verfrissende dauw van de Here of een welkome regenbui voor het droge land dat niets van mensen verwacht. 7 Israël zal dan zo sterk zijn als een leeuw. Onder de volken van deze wereld zal het zijn als een jonge leeuw onder een kudde schapen: hij dringt de kudde binnen, slaat een schaap neer en verscheurt het zonder dat iemand het kan redden. 8 Israël zal zich verheffen boven zijn tegenstanders. Al zijn vijanden zullen worden uitgeroeid. 9 ‘In die tijd,’ zegt de Here, ‘zal Ik al uw wapentuig vernietigen. 10 Ik zal uw steden verwoesten en uw vestingen afbreken. 11 Ik zal ook alle toverij uit uw land verwijderen en er zal geen enkele waarzegger meer overblijven. 12 Al uw zelfgemaakte afgodsbeelden en gewijde stenen zullen verdwijnen, zodat u nooit meer kunt aanbidden wat u zelf hebt gemaakt. 13 Ik zal uw gewijde palen uit de grond rukken en de steden met de grond gelijk maken. 14 En in mijn toorn zal Ik wraak nemen op de volken die niet naar Mij hebben geluisterd.’

Humillación y exaltación de la dinastía davídica
5 Ahora, reúne tus tropas, ciudad guerrera,
porque nos asedian.
Con vara golpearán en la mejilla
al gobernante de Israel.
2 Pero tú, Belén Efrata,
pequeña entre los clanes de Judá,
de ti saldrá el que gobernará a Israel;
sus orígenes son de un pasado distante,
desde tiempos antiguos.
3 Por eso Dios los entregará al enemigo
hasta que tenga su hijo la que va a ser madre
y vuelva junto al pueblo de Israel
el resto de sus hermanos.
4 Él se establecerá y los pastoreará
con el poder del Señor,
con la majestad del nombre del Señor su Dios.
Vivirán seguros, porque él dominará
hasta los confines de la tierra.
5 ¡Él será nuestra paz!
Si Asiria llegara a invadir nuestro país
para pisotear nuestras fortalezas,
le haremos frente con siete pastores
y aun con ocho príncipes del pueblo.
6 Ellos pastorearán a Asiria con la espada
y a la tierra de Nimrod con la daga.[a]
Si Asiria llegara a invadir nuestro país,
si llegara a cruzar nuestras fronteras,
¡él nos rescatará!
El remanente
7 El remanente de Jacob será,
en medio de muchos pueblos,
como rocío que viene del Señor,
como abundante lluvia sobre la hierba,
que no depende de los hombres
ni espera nada de ellos.
8 El remanente de Jacob será,
entre las naciones,
en medio de muchos pueblos,
como un león entre los animales del bosque,
como un leoncillo entre las ovejas del rebaño,
que al pasar las pisotea y las desgarra
sin que nadie pueda rescatarlas.
9 Levantarás la mano contra tus enemigos
y acabarás con todos tus agresores.
Purificación de un pueblo idólatra y belicoso
10 «En aquel día», afirma el Señor,
«exterminaré tu caballería
y destruiré tus carros de guerra.
11 Exterminaré las ciudades de tu país
y derribaré todas tus fortalezas.
12 Pondré fin a tus hechicerías
y no tendrás más adivinos.
13 Acabaré con tus ídolos
y con tus piedras sagradas;
nunca más volverás a postrarte
ante las obras de tus manos.
14 Arrancaré tus imágenes de Aserá
y reduciré a escombros tus ciudades;
15 con ira y con furor me vengaré
de las naciones que no me obedecieron».

5 People of Jerusalem, gather your forces![a] We are besieged! They are attacking the leader of Israel!
God Promises a Ruler from Bethlehem
2 (A)The Lord says, “Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are one of the smallest towns in Judah, but out of you I will bring a ruler for Israel, whose family line goes back to ancient times.”
3 So the Lord will abandon his people to their enemies until the woman who is to give birth has her son. Then those Israelites who are in exile will be reunited with their own people. 4 When he comes, he will rule his people with the strength that comes from the Lord and with the majesty of the Lord God himself. His people will live in safety because people all over the earth will acknowledge his greatness, 5 and he will bring peace.
Deliverance and Punishment
When the Assyrians invade our country and break through our defenses, we will send our strongest leaders to fight them. 6 (B)By force of arms they will conquer Assyria, the land of Nimrod, and they[b] will save us from the Assyrians when they invade our territory.
7 The people of Israel who survive will be like refreshing dew sent by the Lord for many nations, like showers on growing plants. They will depend on God, not people. 8 Those who are left among the nations will be like a lion hunting for food in a forest or a pasture: it gets in among the sheep, pounces on them, and tears them to pieces—and there is no hope of rescue. 9 Israel will conquer her enemies and destroy them all.
10 The Lord says, “At that time I will take away your horses and destroy your chariots. 11 I will destroy the cities in your land and tear down all your defenses. 12 I will destroy the magic charms you use and leave you without any fortunetellers. 13 I will destroy your idols and sacred stone pillars; no longer will you worship the things that you yourselves have made. 14 I will pull down the images of the goddess Asherah in your land and destroy your cities. 15 And in my great anger I will take revenge on all 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.”

King James Version
5 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, Bethlehem 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.
