Izaiáš 31
1 Běda těm, kteříž se utíkají do Egypta o pomoc, a v koních zpoléhají, a doufají v vozích, že jich mnoho, a v jezdcích, že jich množství veliké, a nepatří k Svatému Izraelskému, aniž Hospodina hledají,
Woe to those who go down to Egypt [Abode of slavery] for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails], and they don’t seek Adonai!
2 Ještoť i on jest moudrý. Protož uvede pomstu, a nezměníť slov svých, ale povstane proti domu zlostníků a proti pomoci těch, kteříž páší nepravost.
Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
3 Egyptští pak jsou lidé, a ne Bůh silný, a koni jejich tělo, a ne duch. A protož jakž jen Hospodin vztáhne ruku svou, padne i pomocník, padne i ten, jemuž byl ku pomoci; a tak jednostejně všickni ti na nic přijdou.
Now the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Adonai stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
4 Nebo tak řekl Hospodin ke mně: Jako když lev řve aneb lvíče nad loupeží svou, proti němuž byl-li by svolán houf pastýřů, křiku jejich se neděsí, aniž se pro hluk jejich koří: tak sstoupí Hospodin zástupů, aby bojoval o horu Sion, a o pahrbek její.
For Adonai says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] will come down to fight on Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] and on its heights.
5 Jako ptáci létajíce, tak hájiti bude Hospodin zástupů Jeruzaléma, anobrž obhajuje vysvobodí, pomíjeje zachová.
As birds hovering, so Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] will protect Jerusalem [City of peace]. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
6 Navraťtež se k tomu, od něhož hluboko zabředli synové Izraelští.
Make teshuvah ·complete return· to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel [God prevails].
7 Nebo v ten den zavržete jeden každý modly své stříbrné a modly své zlaté, kterýchž vám nadělaly ruce vaše, abyste hřešili.
For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold— sin which your own hands have made for you.
8 I padne Assur od meče ne muže, a meč ne člověka zžíře jej; a utíkati bude před mečem, a nejudatnější jeho pod plat uvedeni budou.
“The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
9 A tak skála jeho pro strach zmizí, a knížata jeho korouhve děsiti se budou, praví Hospodin, jehož jest oheň na Sionu a pec v Jeruzalémě.
His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says Adonai, whose fire is in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and his furnace in Jerusalem [City of peace].
