Isaiah 31
1 Woe [to] those going down to Egypt for help, And on horses lean, And trust on chariots, because many, And on horsemen, because very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And Jehovah have not sought.
Vae qui descendunt in Aegyptum ad auxilium, in equis sperantes, et habentes fiduciam super quadrigis, quia multae sunt: et super equitibus, quia praevalidi nimis: et non sunt confisi super sanctum Israel, et Dominum non requisierunt.
2 And He also [is] wise, and bringeth in evil, And His words He hath not turned aside, And He hath risen against a house of evil doers, And against the help of workers of iniquity.
Ipse autem sapiens adduxit malum, et verba sua non abstulit: et consurget contra domum pessimorum, et contra auxilium operantium iniquitatem.
3 And the Egyptians [are men], and not God, And their horses [are] flesh, and not spirit, And Jehovah stretcheth out His hand, And stumbled hath the helper, And fallen hath the helped one, And together all of them are consumed.
Aegyptus, homo, et non Deus: et equi eorum, caro, et non spiritus: et Dominus inclinabit manum suam, et corruet auxiliator, et cadet cui praestatur auxilium, simulque omnes consumentur.
4 For thus said Jehovah unto me: 'As growl doth the lion and the young lion over his prey, Called against whom is a multitude of shepherds, From their voice he is not affrighted, And from their noise he is not humbled; So come down doth Jehovah of Hosts To war on mount Zion, and on her height.
Quia haec dicit Dominus ad me: Quomodo si rugiat leo, et catulus leonis super praedam suam, et cum occurrerit ei multitudo pastorum, a voce eorum non formidabit, et a multitudine eorum non pavebit: sic descendet Dominus exercituum ut praelietur super montem Sion, et super collem eius.
5 As birds flying, so doth Jehovah of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.'
Sicut aves volantes, sic proteget Dominus exercituum Ierusalem, protegens et liberans, transiens et salvans.
6 Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostasy.
Convertimini sicut in profundum recesseratis filii Israel.
7 For in that day despise doth each His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you — a sin.
In die enim illa abiiciet vir idola argenti sui, et idola auri sui, quae fecerunt vobis manus vestrae in peccatum.
8 And fallen hath Asshur by sword, not of the high, Yea, a sword — not of the low, doth consume him, And he hath fled for himself from the face of a sword, And his young men become tributary.
Et cadet Assur in gladio non viri, et gladius non hominis vorabit eum, et fugiet non a facie gladii: et iuvenes eius vectigales erunt:
9 And [to] his rock from fear he passeth on, And affrighted by the ensign have been his princes — an affirmation of Jehovah, Who hath a light in Zion, And who hath a furnace in Jerusalem!
et fortitudo eius a terrore transibit, et pavebunt fugientes principes eius: dixit Dominus: cuius ignis est in Sion. et caminus eius in Ierusalem.
