Xudo Baytlahmlik Hukmdorni vaʼda qiladi
1 Ey Quddus, yiqqin lashkaringni!
Gʻanimlar bizni qurshovga oldi!
Ular Isroil hukmdorining betiga tayoq bilan uradi .
2 Ammo Egamiz demoqda:
“Ey Efratdagi Baytlahm,
Sen Yahudoning mitti shahri boʻlsang ham,
Isroilni Men uchun boshqaradigan zot sendan chiqadi .
Uning nasabi qadimlarga borib taqaladi.”
3 Ha, Egamiz Isroil xalqini bir muddatga dushmanlarga taslim qiladi,
Ammo bu hol uzoq davom etmaydi.
Homilador ayolning koʻzi yoriganda,
Boʻlgʻusi hukmdorning birodarlari surgundan qaytadi.
Ular Isroil xalqi bilan birlashadi.
4 Egamizning qudrati ila oʻsha hukmdor suruvini boqadi,
Oʻz Egasi Xudoning ulugʻvorligi ila ularni boshqaradi.
Isroil xalqi xatarsiz yashaydi,
Axir, hukmdorining dovrugʻi butun dunyoga yoyiladi.
5-6 Oʻsha zot tinchlik oʻrnatuvchi boʻladi.
Mabodo Ossuriyaliklar
Yurtimizga bostirib kelsa,
Chegaramizga qadam bossa,
Hukmdorimiz bizni himoya qiladi.
Ha, Ossuriyaliklar
Yurtimizga bostirib kelsa,
Qalʼalarni ular yorib oʻtsa,
Biz ularga qarshi yetti yoʻlboshchini tanlaymiz,
Hatto sakkiz rahnamoni tayinlaymiz.
Ular qilich koʻtarib, Ossuriya ustidan hukmronlik qilishadi,
Nimroʻdning yerida oʻz hukmini oʻtkazishadi.
7 Koʻp xalqlar orasida
Yoqub naslining omon qolganlari
Egamiz osmondan tushiradigan
Shudringday boʻlishadi,
Maysalarni sugʻoradigan
Yomgʻirga oʻxshagan boʻlishadi.
Ularni hech kim toʻxtata olmaydi,
Ular dushmanlari ustiga bostirib borishadi.
8 Ha, koʻp xalqlar orasida
Yoqub naslining omon qolganlari
Oʻrmon hayvonlari orasidagi
Arslonday boʻlishadi,
Qoʻy suruvi orasiga kirib qolgan
Sher bolasiga oʻxshagan boʻlishadi.
Yurgan yoʻllarida hammaga tashlanib gʻajishadi,
Ularga hech kim bas kela olmaydi.
9 Ey Isroil, sening qoʻling yovlardan baland keladi,
Barcha dushmanlaring qirilib ketadi.
Egamiz Oʻz xalqini poklaydi
10 Egamizning kalomi shudir:
“Oʻsha kuni otlaringizni Men yoʻq qilaman,
Jang aravalaringizni parcha–parcha etaman.
11 Vayron qilaman yurtingiz shaharlarini,
Yakson etaman jamiki qalʼalaringizni.
12 Yurtingizda sehr–joduga barham beraman,
Orangizda bironta folbinni qoldirmayman.
13 Tasviru butsimon toshlaringizni yoʻq qilaman,
Boshqa sajda qilmaysiz qoʻlingiz ijodiga.
14 Asheraga atalgan ustunlarni qoʻporib tashlayman,
Shaharlaringiz kulini koʻkka sovuraman.
15 Menga itoat qilmagan
Xalqlar ustiga qahru gʻazabimni yogʻdirib,
Qasos olaman.”
1 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, Beth-lehem 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.
