Isaija 31
1 Teško onima koji idu u Misir za pomoæ, koji se oslanjaju na konje, i uzdaju se u kola što ih je mnogo, i u konjike što ih je veliko mnoštvo, a ne gledaju na sveca Izrailjeva i ne traže Gospoda.
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots, because they me many: and in horsemen, because they me very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought after the Lord.
2 Ali je i on mudar, i navuæi æe zlo, i neæe poreæi svoje rijeèi, nego æe ustati na dom nevaljalijeh ljudi i na one koji pomažu onima koji èine bezakonje.
But he that is the wise one hath brought evil, and hath not removed his words: and he will rise up against the house of the wicked, and against the aid of them that work iniquity.
3 A Misirci su ljudi a ne Bog, i konji su njihovi tijelo a ne duh; i zato æe Gospod mahnuti rukom svojom, te æe pasti pomagaè, pašæe i onaj kome pomaže, i svi æe zajedno poginuti.
Egypt is man, and not God: and their horses, flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand, and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall, and they shall all be confounded together.
4 Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: kao što lav i laviæ rièe nad lovom svojim, i ako se i svièe na nj mnoštvo pastira, on se ne plaši od vike njihove niti se pokorava na buku njihovu, tako æe Gospod nad vojskama siæi da vojuje za goru Sionsku i za hum njezin.
For thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth, and the lion’s whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount Sion, and upon the hill thereof.
5 Kao ptice krilima Gospod æe nad vojskama zaklanjati Jerusalim, i zaklanjajuæi izbaviæe, i oblazeæi saèuvaæe.
As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.
6 Vratite se k njemu, od kojega se sasvijem odvrgoste, sinovi Izrailjevi!
Return as you had deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
7 Jer æe u onaj dan svaki odbaciti idole svoje srebrne, i zlatne svoje idole, koje vam ruke vaše naèiniše na grijeh.
For in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to sin.
8 I Asirac æe pasti od maèa ne èovjeèijega, i maè ne èovjeèji poješæe ga, i bježaæe ispred maèa, i mladiæi æe njegovi plaæati danak.
And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries.
9 I stijena æe njegova proæi od straha, i knezovi æe se njegovi prepasti od zastave, veli Gospod, èiji je oganj na Sionu i peæ u Jerusalimu.
And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose die is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
