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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
5 Tā kā putni lidinājās, tāpat Tas Kungs Cebaot apklās Jeruzālemi, un apklādams izpestīs un žēlodams izglābs.
As birds flying, so doth Jehovah of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.'
6 Atgriežaties, Israēla bērni, pie Tā, no kā tik tālu esat atkāpušies.
Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostasy.
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 despise doth each His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you — 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.
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.
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 [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!
