Und du Bethlehem im Jüdischen Lande,
bist mit nichte die kleinste unter den Fürsten Juda,
dann aus dir soll mir kommen der Hertzog,
der über mein Volk Israel ein Herr sei.

And you Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
you are by no means the least among the leaders of Judah,
for from you will come a leader
who will shepherd my people Israel.
