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.
Teško onima što slaze u Egipat po pomoć i nadu u konje polažu te se uzdaju u mnoga kola i u mnoštvo konjanika, ne gledajuć' s uzdanjem u Sveca Izraelova i od Jahve savjeta ne tražeć'.
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.
Al' i on je mudar i navalit će zlo, i neće poreć' svojih prijetnja; on će ustat' na dom zlikovački i na pomoć zločinačku.
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.
Egipćanin je čovjek, a ne Bog; konji su mu meso, a ne duh; kada Jahve rukom mahne, posrnut će pomagač i past će onaj komu pomaže - svi će zajedno propasti.
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.
Da, ovako mi reče Jahve: Kao što lav ili lavić nad plijenom reži, pa i kad se strči na njega mnoštvo pastira, on se ne prepada vike njihove, nit' za njihovu graju mari - tako će Jahve nad Vojskama sići da vojuje za goru Sion, za visinu njezinu.
5 As birds flying, so does YHWH of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.”
Kao ptice što lepršaju krilima, Jahve nad Vojskama zaklanjat će Jeruzalem, zaklanjat' ga, izbaviti, poštedjet' ga i spasiti.
6 Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostasy.
Vratite se onome od kog otpadoste tako duboko, sinovi Izraelovi.
7 For in that day each despises His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you—a sin.
Da, u onaj će dan svatko prezreti svoje kumire srebrne i zlatne što ih rukama sebi za grijeh načiniste.
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.
Asur neće pasti od mača ljudskoga: proždrijet će ga mač, ali ne čovječji. Od mača će bježat', al' će mu satnici pod tlaku pasti.
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!
Užasnut, ostavit će svoju hridinu, prestravljeni, knezovi od svoje će bježat' zastave - riječ je Jahve, čiji je oganj na Sionu i čija je peć u Jeruzalemu.
