Bethlehem Ephrathah,(A)
you are small among the clans of Judah;
one will come from you(B)
to be ruler over Israel for me.(C)
His origin[a] is from antiquity,(D)
from ancient times.
Therefore, Israel will be abandoned(E) until the time
when she who is in labour(F) has given birth;
then the rest of the ruler’s brothers(G) will return
to the people of Israel.(H)
He will stand and shepherd them(I)
in the strength of the Lord,
in the majestic name of the Lord his God.
They will live securely,
for then his greatness will extend
to the ends of the earth.(J)

“But you, Bethlehem(A) Ephrathah,(B)
    though you are small among the clans[a] of Judah,
out of you will come for me
    one who will be ruler(C) over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,(D)
    from ancient times.”(E)

Therefore Israel will be abandoned(F)
    until the time when she who is in labor bears a son,
and the rest of his brothers return
    to join the Israelites.

He will stand and shepherd his flock(G)
    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(H)
    will reach to the ends of the earth.

y con la majestad del Señor, su Dios.
Ellos, por su parte, vivirán seguros,
porque él extenderá su poder

Él nos traerá la paz;
y cuando Asiria invada nuestra tierra
e irrumpa en nuestros palacios,
nos enfrentaremos a ella
