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 those that go down to Egypt for help; and depend for support on horses, and trust on chariots, because they are many; and on horsemen, because they are very strong; but who turn not unto the Holy One of Israel, and seek not the Lord!
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 bringeth evil, and taketh not back his words; and riseth up against the house of evil-doers, and against the help of those that work injustice.
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.
But the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit; and the Lord will stretch out his hand, and there shall stumble the helper, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall perish 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 said the Lord unto me, Just as the lion or the young lion growleth over his prey, against whom is called forth the company of shepherds, of whose voice he is not afraid, and is not depressed because of their multitude: thus will the Lord come down, to fight on mount Zion and on its hill.
5 Tā kā putni lidinājās, tāpat Tas Kungs Cebaot apklās Jeruzālemi, un apklādams izpestīs un žēlodams izglābs.
As fluttering birds, so will the Lord of hosts shield Jerusalem; shielding and delivering; sparing and preserving.
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 on that day shall every man despise 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 Asshur fall by the sword of one who is not a man; and the sword of one who is not a son of earth shall devour him; and he shall flee him from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary.
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 his stronghold shall pass away for fear, and his princes shall be terrified because of the ensign, saith the Lord, who hath a fire in Zion, and a furnace in Jerusalem.
