以赛亚书 31
1 祸哉！那些下埃及求帮助的， 是因仗赖马匹，倚靠甚多的车辆， 并倚靠强壮的马兵， 却不仰望以色列的圣者， 也不求问耶和华。
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!
2 其实，耶和华有智慧； 他必降灾祸， 并不反悔自己的话， 却要兴起攻击那作恶之家， 又攻击那作孽帮助人的。
Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
3 埃及人不过是人，并不是 神； 他们的马不过是血肉，并不是灵。 耶和华一伸手，那帮助人的必绊跌， 那受帮助的也必跌倒，都一同灭亡。
Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit: and when Jehovah shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
4 耶和华对我如此说： 狮子和少壮狮子护食咆哮， 就是喊许多牧人来攻击它， 它总不因他们的声音惊惶， 也不因他们的喧哗缩伏。 如此，万军之耶和华 也必降临在锡安山冈上争战。
For thus saith Jehovah unto me, As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so will Jehovah of hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof.
5 雀鸟怎样搧翅覆雏， 万军之耶和华也要照样保护耶路撒冷。 他必保护拯救， 要越门保守。
As birds hovering, so will Jehovah of hosts protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver [it], he will pass over and preserve [it].
6 以色列人哪，你们深深地悖逆耶和华，现今要归向他。
Turn ye unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
7 到那日，各人必将他金偶像银偶像，就是亲手所造、陷自己在罪中的，都抛弃了。
For in that day they shall cast away every man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.
8 亚述人必倒在刀下，并非人的刀； 有刀要将他吞灭，并非人的刀。 他必逃避这刀； 他的少年人必成为服苦的。
And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of men, shall devour him; and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become subject to taskwork.
9 他的磐石必因惊吓挪去； 他的首领必因大旗惊惶。 这是那有火在锡安、 有炉在耶路撒冷的耶和华说的。
And his rock shall pass away by reason of terror, and his princes shall be dismayed at the ensign, saith Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
