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.
Gorje tistim, ki gredo dol v Egipt po pomoč in se zanašajo na konje in zaupajo v bojne vozove, zato ker so številni in na konjenike, ker so zelo močni, toda ne gledajo k Svetemu Izraelovemu niti ne iščejo Gospoda!
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.
Vendar je on tudi moder in privedel bo zlo in svojih besed ne bo poklical nazaj, temveč se bo vzdignil zoper hišo hudodelcev in zoper pomoč tistih, ki počno krivičnost.
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.
Torej Egipčani so ljudje in ne Bog in njihovi konji meso in ne duh. Ko bo Gospod iztegnil svojo roko, bosta padla oba, tako tisti, ki pomaga in komur je pomagano, padla bosta in vsem skupaj bo spodletelo.
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.
Kajti tako mi je govoril Gospod: »Podobno kakor lev in mlad lev rjoveta na svoj plen, ko je zoper njega sklicana množica pastirjev, se on ne bo bal njihovega glasu niti se Gospod nad bojevniki ne bo ponižal zaradi njihovega hrupa. Tako bo Gospod nad bojevniki prišel dol, da se bori za goro Sion in za njen hrib.
5 As birds flying, so doth Jehovah of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.'
Kakor leteče ptice, tako bo Gospod nad bojevniki branil [prestolnico] Jeruzalem; z obrambo jo bo tudi osvobodil in s prehajanjem čeznjo jo bo ohranil.
6 Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostasy.
Obrnite se k njemu, od katerega so se Izraelovi otroci globoko spuntali.
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.
Kajti na ta dan bo vsak človek zavrgel svoje malike iz srebra in svoje malike iz zlata, ki so vam jih v greh naredile vaše lastne roke.
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.
Takrat bo Asirec padel pod mečem, ne od mogočnega človeka; in meč, ne od zlobnega človeka, ga bo požiral. Toda pobegnil bo pred mečem in njegovi mladeniči bodo poraženi.
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!
Zaradi strahu bo prešel k svojemu oporišču in njegovi princi se bodo bali zastave, « govori Gospod, čigar ogenj je na Sionu in njegova talilna peč v Jeruzalemu.
