Isaiah 31
1 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.
Ve dem, som går ned til Ægypten om hjælp og slår Lid til heste, som stoler på Vognenes mængde, på Rytternes store Tal, men ikke ser hen til Israels Hellige, ej rådspørger HERREN.
2 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.
Men viis er og han, lader Ulykke komme og går ej fra sit Ord. Han står op mod de ondes Hus og mod Udådsmændenes Hjælp.
3 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!
Ægypterne er Mennesker, ikke Gud, deres Heste er Kød, ikke Ånd. Når HERREN udrækker Hånden, snubler Hjælperen, den hjulpne falder, de omkommer alle til Hobe.
4 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.
Thi så sagde HERREN til mig: Som en Løve knurrer, en Ungløve over sit Rov, og ikke, når Hyrdernes Flok kaldes hid imod den, skræmmes af Skriget eller viger for Larmen, så stiger Hærskarers HERRE ned til Kamp på Zions Bjerg og Høj.
5 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].
Som svævende Fugle så skærmer Hærskarers HERRE Jerusalem, skærmer og frier, skåner og redder.
6 Return to [the one] whom they have made deep rebellion [the] people of Israel.
Vend om til ham, hvem Israels Børn faldt fra så dybt!
7 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.
Thi på hin Dag vrager enhver sine Guder af Sølv sine Guder af Guld, eders Hænders syndige Værk.
8 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.
Assur falder for Sværd, men ikke en Mands, et Sværd fortærer det, ikke et Menneskes. Og han skal fly for Sværdet, til Hoveriarbejde tvinges hans Stridsmænd;
9 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.
hans Klippe viger bort af Rædsel, hans Fyrster skræmmes fra Fanen. Så lyder det fra HERREN, hvis Ild er i Zion, som har sin Ovn i Jerusalem.
