Micah 5:2 in Context — Micah 5

1 Et toi, Bethléhem Éphrata, Petite entre les milliers de Juda, De toi sortira pour moi Celui qui dominera sur Israël, Et dont l’origine remonte aux temps anciens, Aux jours de l’éternité.

2 C’est pourquoi il les livrera Jusqu’au temps où enfantera celle qui doit enfanter, Et le reste de ses frères Reviendra auprès des enfants d’Israël.

3 Il se présentera, et il gouvernera avec la force de l’Éternel, Avec la majesté du nom de l’Éternel, son Dieu: Et ils auront une demeure assurée, Car il sera glorifié jusqu’aux extrémités de la terre.

4 C’est lui qui ramènera la paix. Lorsque l’Assyrien viendra dans notre pays, Et qu’il pénétrera dans nos palais, Nous ferons lever contre lui sept pasteurs Et huit princes du peuple.
