< Isaiah 31 >

1 woe! [the] to go down Egypt to/for help upon horse to lean and to trust upon chariot for many and upon horseman for be vast much and not to gaze upon holy Israel and [obj] LORD not to seek
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and lean on horses, and trust in chariots (for they are many) and in horsemen (for they are countless). But they are not concerned about the Holy One of Israel, nor do they seek Yahweh!
2 and also he/she/it wise and to come (in): bring bad: evil and [obj] word his not to turn aside: turn aside and to arise: rise upon house: household be evil and upon help to work evil: wickedness
Yet he is wise, and he will bring disaster and will not retract his words. He will arise against the evil house and against the helpers of those who commit sin.
3 and Egypt man and not God and horse their flesh and not spirit and LORD to stretch hand his and to stumble to help and to fall: fall to help and together all their to end: destroy [emph?]
Egypt is a man and not God, their horses flesh and not spirit. When Yahweh reaches out with his hand, both the one who helps will stumble, and the one who is helped will fall; both will perish together.
4 for thus to say LORD to(wards) me like/as as which to mutter [the] lion and [the] lion upon prey his which to call: call to upon him fullness to pasture from voice their not to to be dismayed and from crowd their not to afflict so to go down LORD Hosts to/for to serve upon mountain: mount Zion and upon hill her
This is what Yahweh says to me, “As a lion, even a young lion, growls over its torn prey, when a group of shepherds is called out against it, but it does not tremble at their voices, nor creep away from their sound; thus Yahweh of hosts will descend to fight on Mount Zion, on that hill.
5 like/as bird to fly so to defend LORD Hosts upon Jerusalem to defend and to rescue to pass and to escape
Like birds in flight, so Yahweh of hosts will protect Jerusalem; he will protect and rescue as he passes over it and preserves it.
6 to return: return to/for which be deep revolt son: child Israel
Return to him from whom you have deeply turned away, people of Israel.
7 for in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to reject [emph?] man: anyone idol silver: money his and idol gold his which to make to/for you hand your sin
For in that day each one will get rid of his idols of silver and his idols of gold that your own hands have sinfully made.
8 and to fall: kill Assyria in/on/with sword not man and sword not man to eat him and to flee to/for him from face: before sword and youth his to/for taskworker to be
Assyria will fall by the sword; a sword not wielded by man will consume him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will be forced to do hard labor.
9 and crag his from terror to pass and to to be dismayed from ensign ruler his utterance LORD which flame to/for him in/on/with Zion and oven to/for him in/on/with Jerusalem
They will lose all confidence because of terror, and his princes will be afraid at the sight of Yahweh's battle flag— this is Yahweh's declaration—whose fire is in Zion and whose firepot is in Jerusalem.”
