2 Daarom sal Hy hulle prysgee tot op die tyd dat 'n barende gebaar het. Dan sal die oorblyfsel van sy broers saam met die kinders van Israel terugkeer.

2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

being small among the clans of Judah,

out of you one will come out to me who is to be ruler in Israel;

whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.
