Isaiah 31
1 Cursed are those who go down to Egypt for help, and who put their faith in horses; looking to war-carriages for salvation, because of their numbers; and to horsemen, because they are very strong; but they are not looking to the Holy One of Israel, or turning their hearts to the Lord;
Горе сходящым во Египет помощи ради, уповающым на кони и на колесницы: суть бо многа, и конническое множество много зело: и не беша уповающе на Святаго Израилева, и Бога не взыскаша.
2 Though he is wise, and able to send evil, and his purpose will not be changed; but he will go against the house of the evil-doers, and against those to whom they are looking for help.
Тойже премудре наведе на них злая, и слово Его не отринется, и востанет на домы человеков злых и на надежду их тщетную,
3 For the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit: and when the Lord's hand is stretched out, the helper and he who is helped will come down together.
Египтянина человека, а не Бога, конски плоти, и не будет помощи: Господь же наведет руку Свою на ня, и утрудятся помагающии, и вси вкупе погибнут.
4 For the Lord has said to me, As a lion, or a young lion, makes an angry noise over his food, and if a band of herdsmen come out against him, he will not be in fear of their voices, or give up his food for their noise: so the Lord of armies will come down to make war against Mount Zion and its hill.
Занеже тако рече мне Господь: якоже возревет лев, или львичищь о ловитве, юже имет, и возопиет над нею, дондеже наполнятся горы гласа его, и победишася и множества ярости убояшася: тако Господь Саваоф снидет на гору Сионю и на горы его воевати.
5 Like birds with outstretched wings, so will the Lord of armies be a cover to Jerusalem; he will be a cover and salvation for it, going over it he will keep it from danger.
Якоже птицы парящыя, сице защитит Господь Саваоф о Иерусалиме, защитит и избавит, и снабдит и спасет.
6 Come back to him who has been so deeply sinned against by the children of Israel.
Обратитеся, совещавающии глубок совет и беззаконен, сынове Израилевы:
7 For in that day they will all give up their images of silver and of gold, the sin which they made for themselves.
яко в той день отвергут человецы рукотворенная своя сребряная и рукотворенная златая, яже сотвориша руки их.
8 Then the Assyrian will come down by the sword, but not of man; the sword, not of men, will be the cause of his destruction: and he will go in flight from the sword, and his young men will be put to forced work.
И падет Ассур не мечем человеческим, ни мечь мужеский пояст его, и побегнет не от лица меча: юноты же будут в побеждение.
9 And his rock will come to nothing because of fear, and his chiefs will go in flight from the flag, says the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his altar in Jerusalem.
Камением бо оымутся яко острогом и побеждени будут, а бежай пленен будет. Сия глаголет Господь: (блажен, ) иже имеет племя в Сионе и южики во Иерусалиме.
