Ngayon ay mapipisan ka sa mga hukbo, Oh anak na babae ng mga hukbo: siya'y nangubkob laban sa atin; kanilang hahampasin sa pisngi ang hukom ng Israel ng isang tungkod.

Nguni't ikaw, Beth-lehem Ephrata, na maliit upang lumagay sa libolibo ng Juda, mula sa iyo ay lalabas sa akin ang isa na magpupuno sa Israel; na ang pinagbuhatan niya ay mula nang una, mula nang walang hanggan.

Kaya't kaniyang ibibigay sila hanggang sa panahon na siya na nagdaramdam ay manganak: kung magkagayon ang nalabi sa kaniyang mga kapatid ay babalik sa mga anak ni Israel.

At siya'y titindig, at magpapakain ng kaniyang kawan sa kalakasan ng Panginoon, sa kamahalan ng pangalan ng Panginoon niyang Dios: at sila'y mananatili; sapagka't ngayon siya'y magiging dakila hanggang sa mga wakas ng lupa.

At ang lalaking ito ay magiging kapayapaan natin. Pagka ang taga Asiria ay papasok sa ating lupain, at pagka siya'y tutungtong sa ating mga palacio, tayo nga'y mangagtitindig laban sa kaniya ng pitong pastor, at walong pinakapangulong tao.

At kanilang wawasakin ng tabak ang lupain ng Asiria, at ang lupain ng Nimrod sa mga pasukan niyaon: at kaniyang ililigtas tayo sa taga Asiria, pagka siya'y pumasok sa ating lupain, at pagka siya'y tumungtong sa loob ng ating hangganan.

At ang nalabi sa Jacob ay magiging parang hamog na mula sa Panginoon sa gitna ng maraming bayan, parang ulan sa damo, na hindi naghihintay sa tao, ni naghihintay man sa mga anak ng tao.

At ang nalabi sa Jacob ay magiging sa gitna ng mga bansa, sa gitna ng maraming bayan, na parang leon sa mga hayop sa gubat, na parang batang leon sa mga kawan ng mga tupa; na kung siya'y dumaraan ay yumayapak at lumalapa, at walang magligtas.

Mataas ang iyong kamay sa iyong mga kaaway, at mangahiwalay ang lahat ng iyong mga kaaway.

10 At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon, na aking ihihiwalay ang iyong mga kabayo sa gitna mo, at aking gigibain ang iyong mga karo:

11 At aking ihihiwalay ang mga bayan ng iyong lupain, at aking ibabagsak ang lahat ng iyong katibayan:

12 At aking ihihiwalay ang mga panghuhula sa iyong kamay; at hindi ka na magkakaroon ng mga manghuhula:

13 At aking ihihiwalay ang iyong mga inanyuang larawan at ang iyong mga haligi mula sa gitna mo; at hindi ka na sasamba sa gawa ng iyong mga kamay;

14 At aking bubunutin ang iyong mga Asera mula sa gitna mo; at aking sisirain ang iyong mga bayan.

15 At ako'y maguukol ng panghihiganti sa galit at kapusukan sa mga bansa na hindi nangakinig.

'Mikas 5 ' not found for the version: Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Ruler to Be Born in Bethlehem

[a] Now muster your troops, O daughter[b] of troops;
    siege is laid against us;
with a rod (A)they strike the judge of Israel
    on the cheek.
[c] (B)But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    who are too little to be among the clans of (C)Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
    one who is to be (D)ruler in Israel,
(E)whose coming forth is (F)from of old,
    from ancient days.
Therefore he shall give them up (G)until the time
    when she who is in labor has given birth;
then (H)the rest of his brothers shall return
    to the people of Israel.
And he shall stand (I)and shepherd his flock (J)in the strength of the Lord,
    in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now (K)he shall be great
    to the ends of the earth.
And he shall be (L)their peace.

(M)When the Assyrian comes into our land
    and treads in our palaces,
then we will raise against him seven (N)shepherds
    and eight princes of men;
they shall shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
    and the land of (O)Nimrod at its entrances;
and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian
    (P)when he comes into our land
    and treads within our border.

A Remnant Shall Be Delivered

Then (Q)the remnant of Jacob shall be
    in the midst of many peoples
like dew from the Lord,
    like showers on the grass,
which delay not for a man
    nor wait for the children of man.
And (R)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 among the flocks of sheep,
(S)which, when it goes through, treads down
    and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
Your hand shall (T)be lifted up over your adversaries,
    and all your enemies shall be cut off.

10 And (U)in that day, declares the Lord,
    (V)I will cut off your horses from among you
    and will destroy your chariots;
11 (W)and I will cut off the cities of your land
    and throw down all your strongholds;
12 and I will cut off (X)sorceries from your hand,
    and (Y)you shall have no more tellers of fortunes;
13 and (Z)I will cut off your carved images
    and (AA)your pillars from among you,
(AB)and you shall bow down no more
    to the work of your hands;
14 and I will root out your (AC)Asherah images from among you
    (AD)and destroy your cities.
15 And in anger and wrath (AE)I will execute vengeance
    on the nations that did not obey.
