Isaiah 31

1 Woe to those who descend into Egypt for assistance, hoping in horses, and putting their trust in four-horse chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are exceedingly strong. And they have not believed in the Holy One of Israel, and they have not sought the Lord.

Woe to! those [who] go down Egypt for help on horses they depend and they have relied on chariotry for [it is] many and on horsemen for they are numerous exceedingly and not they look on [the] holy [one] of Israel and Yahweh not they seek.

2 Therefore, being wise, he has permitted harm, and he has not removed his words, and he will rise up against the house of the wicked and against those who assist the workers of iniquity.

And also he [is] wise and he has brought calamity and words his not he has turned aside and he will rise up on [the] house of evil-doers and on [the] help of [those who] do wickedness.

3 Egypt is man, and not God. And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. And so, the Lord will reach down his hand, and the helper will fall, and the one who was being helped will fall, and they will all be consumed together.

And Egypt [is] humankind and not God and horses their [are] flesh and not spirit and Yahweh he will stretch out hand his and he will stumble [one who] helps and he will fall [one who] is helped and together all of them they will come to an end!

4 For the Lord says this to me: In the same way that a lion roars, and a young lion is over his prey, and though a multitude of shepherds may meet him, he will not dread their voice, nor be afraid of their number, so will the Lord of hosts descend in order to battle upon mount Zion and upon its hill.

For thus he has said Yahweh - to me just as it growls the lion and the young lion over prey its that it is summoned on it a multitude of shepherds from voice their not it is dismayed and from tumult their not it cringes so he will come down Yahweh of hosts to wage war on [the] mountain of Zion and on hill its.

5 Like birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and freeing, passing over and saving.

Like birds flying so he will defend Yahweh of hosts Jerusalem he will defend [it] and he will rescue [it] he will pass over [it] and he will deliver [it].

6 Be converted to the same depth that you have drawn away, O sons of Israel.

Return to [the one] whom they have made deep rebellion [the] people of Israel.

7 For in that day, a man will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you unto sin.

For in the day that they will reject! everyone [the] idols of silver his and [the] idols of gold his which they have made for you hands your sin.

8 And Assur will fall by a sword not of man, and a sword not of man will devour him. And he will not flee from the face of the sword, and his young men will be subject to a penalty.

And it will fall Assyria by a sword not a human and a sword not a human it will consume it and it will flee itself from before a sword and young men its forced labor they will become.

9 And his strength will pass away in terror, and his princes will flee in fear. The Lord has said it. His fire is in Zion, and his furnace is at Jerusalem.

And rock its from terror it will pass away and they will be dismayed from a standard commanders its [the] utterance of Yahweh who fire [belongs] to him in Zion and an oven [belongs] to him in Jerusalem.
