5:1 Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops; He has laid a siege against us. With a rod they strike on the cheek The Judge of Israel.
成群的女子阿,现在你要聚集成队;仇敌围攻我们,他们用杖击打以色列审判者的脸。
5:2 (But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, So little to be among the thousands of Judah, From you there will come forth to Me He who is to be Ruler in Israel; And His goings forth are from ancient times, From the days of eternity.)
5:3 Therefore He will give them up until the time When she who is in labor delivers the child; Then the remainder of His brothers will return, Along with the children of Israel.
5:4 And He will stand and feed His flock in the strength of Jehovah, In the majesty of the name of Jehovah His God; And they will abide, for now He will be great Unto the ends of the earth.
5:5 And this One will be the peace. When Assyria comes into our land And when he treads in our palaces, We will raise up against him seven shepherds And eight princes of men.
这位必作我们的平安。当亚述人进入我们的地,践踏我们宫殿的时候,我们就立起七个牧者、八个首领攻击他。
5:6 And they will waste the land of Assyria with the sword And the land of Nimrod at its entrances. And He will save us from Assyria, When he comes into our land And when he treads in our border.
他们必用刀剑毁坏亚述地,和宁录地的关口。亚述人进入我们的地,践踏我们地界的时候,祂必拯救我们。
5:7 And the remnant of Jacob will be In the midst of many peoples Like dew from Jehovah, Like abundant showers upon the herbage, Which do not tarry for man And do not wait for the sons of men.
雅各余剩的人必在许多的民中,如从耶和华那里降下的露水,又如甘霖降在草上,不仰仗人,也不等候世人。
5:8 And the remnant of Jacob will 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, Who, if he should pass through, tramples under And tears up, and there is none to deliver from him.
