2 E tu, Belém Efrata, embora sejas apenas uma pequena aldeia de Judá, ainda assim serás o local de nascimento do governador do meu povo Israel, que vive desde a eternidade!e

2 But you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which are little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of you will one come forth to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
