Jesajas 31

1 Ak vai, tiem, kas uz Ēģipti iet pēc palīdzības un paļaujas uz zirgiem un cerē uz ratiem, tāpēc ka to ir daudz, un uz jātniekiem, tāpēc ka to ir liels pulks, bet uz to Svēto iekš Israēla nerauga un To Kungu nemeklē.

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek YHWH!

2 Bet arī Viņš ir gudrs un liek ļaunumam nākt un neņem atpakaļ Savus vārdus, bet ceļas pret bezdievīgo namu un pret ļauna darītāju palīgu.

Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

3 Jo ēģiptieši ir cilvēki un ne Dievs, un viņu zirgi ir miesa un ne gars. Un Tas Kungs izstieps Savu roku, un tas palīgs klūp un, kam top līdzēts, tas krīt, un tie visi kopā iet bojā.

Now the Egyptians are men, and not El; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When YHWH shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

4 Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: tā kā lauva un kā jauns lauva rūc par savu laupījumu, un, jebšu pret viņu liels ganu pulks top sasaukts, tomēr viņš neizbīstas priekš viņu balss un nebaidās no viņa lielā pulka, tāpat Tas Kungs Cebaot nolaidīsies, karot uz Ciānas kalna un uz viņas augstuma.

For thus hath YHWH spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall YHWH of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

5 Tā kā putni lidinājās, tāpat Tas Kungs Cebaot apklās Jeruzālemi, un apklādams izpestīs un žēlodams izglābs.

As birds flying, so will YHWH of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.

6 Atgriežaties, Israēla bērni, pie Tā, no kā tik tālu esat atkāpušies.

Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

7 Jo tai dienā tie atmetīs ikkatrs savus sudraba elkus un savus zelta elkus, ko jūsu rokas ir taisījušas sev par grēku.

For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

8 Un Asurs kritīs caur zobenu, bet ne caur vīra zobenu, un to norīs, bet ne cilvēka zobens, un tas bēgs no zobena un viņa jaunekļi paliks par vergiem.

Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.

9 Un viņa kalns trīcēs no bailēm, un viņa lielkungi iztrūcināti bēgs no karoga; to saka Tas Kungs, kam Ciānā uguns un Jeruzālemē ugunskurs.

And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith YHWH, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
