Isaiah 31
1 Woe [to] those going down to Egypt for help, And [who] lean on horses, And trust on chariots, because [they are] many, And on horsemen, because [they are] very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And have not sought YHWH.
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。
2 And He [is] also wise, and brings in evil, And He has not turned aside His words, And He has risen against a house of evildoers, And against the help of workers of iniquity.
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。
3 And the Egyptians [are men], and not God, And their horses [are] flesh, and not spirit, And YHWH stretches out His hand, And the helper has stumbled, And the helped one has fallen, And together all of them are consumed.
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。
4 For thus said YHWH to me: “As the lion and the young lion growl over his prey, Against whom a multitude of shepherds is called, He is not frightened from their voice, And he is not humbled from their noise; So YHWH of Hosts comes down To war on Mount Zion, and on her height.
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。
5 As birds flying, so does YHWH of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.”
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。
6 Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostasy.
以色列人哪，你们深深地悖逆耶和华，现今要归向他。
7 For in that day each despises His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you—a sin.
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。
8 And Asshur has fallen by sword, not of the high, Indeed, a sword—not of the low, consumes him, And he has fled for himself from the face of a sword, And his young men become tributary.
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。
9 And he passes on [to] his rock from fear, And his princes have been frightened by the ensign—a declaration of YHWH, Who has a light in Zion, And who has a furnace in Jerusalem!
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。
