Isaya 31
1 Ole wao washukao Misri kuomba msaada na kutegemea farasi, kuweka imani katika magari (maana wako wengi) na ( maana faras haziesabiki). Lakini hawausiani na Mtakatifu wa Israeli, wala hawamtafuti Yahwe!
Wo to hem that goon doun in to Egipt to help, and hopen in horsis, and han trist on cartis, for tho ben manye, and on knyytis, for thei ben ful stronge; and thei tristiden not on the hooli of Israel, and thei souyten not the Lord.
2 Lakini ni mwenye busara, na ataleta maafa na atakanusha maneno yake. Na atakuja juu ya nyumba zitendazo maovu, na dhidi ya wale wanaowasaidia kuteda dhambi.
Forsothe he that is wijs, hath brouyt yuel, and took not awei hise wordis; and he schal rise togidere ayens the hous of worste men, and ayens the helpe of hem that worchen wickidnesse.
3 Misri ni mtu na sio Mungu, ni farasi wa mwili na sio wa roho. Yahwe atakapota nje kwa mkono wake, wote waliowasaidia watakuwa na mashaka, na yeyote atakayesidia atanguka; wote kwa pamoja watatoweka.
Egipt is a man, and not God; and the horsis of hem ben fleisch, and not spirit; and the Lord schal bowe doun his hond, and the helpere schal falle doun, and he schal falle, to whom help is youun, and alle schulen be wastid togidere.
4 Hivi ndivyo Yahwe alivyosema na mimi, '' kama simba, na hata mtoto wa simba, hunguruma juu ya mawindo yake, pale makundi ya wachungaji yanapoita dhidi yake, lakini hatatemeka kwa sauti zao, wala hatakwenda kwa sababu ya kelele zao, hivyo Yahwe wa majeshi atashuka kupigana kwenye mlima Sayuni, katika kilima hicho.
For whi the Lord seith these thingis to me, If a lioun rorith, and a whelp of a lioun on his prey, whanne the multitude of schipherdis cometh ayens hym, he schal not drede of the vois of hem, and he schal not drede of the multitude of hem; so the Lord of oostis schal come doun, for to fiyte on the mounteyn of Sion, and on the litil hil therof.
5 Kama ndege apaavyo, hivyo Yahwe wa majeshi atailinda Yerusalemu; atailinda na kuiokoa kama apitavyo juu na kuilinda.
As briddis fleynge, so the Lord of oostis schal defende Jerusalem; he defendynge and delyuerynge, passynge forth and sauynge.
6 Mrudieni yeye kutoka huyo mliyemgeukia, watu wa Israeli.
Ye sones of Israel, be conuertid, as ye hadden go awei in to depthe.
7 Maana katika siku hiyo kila mmoja ataondoa miungu ya fedha na miungu ya dhahabu iliyotegenezwa kwa mikono yenu yenye dhambi.
Forsothe in that dai a man schal caste awei the idols of his siluer, and the idols of his gold, whiche youre hondis maden to you in to synne.
8 Asiria atangamizwa kwa upanga; na upanga usioshikiwa na mtu utumaliza yeye. Ataukimbia upanga, na vijana wake wadogo watafanyishwa kazi ngumu.
And Assur schal falle bi swerd, not of man, and a swerd, not of man, schal deuoure hym; and he schal fle, not fro the face of swerd, and hise yonge men schulen be tributaries;
9 Na watashindwa kujiani kwa sababu ya hofu, na mkuu wao ataogopa mbele ya bendera ya jeshi la Yahwe.''- Hili ni tamko la Yahwe, ambao moto uko Sayuni na ambayo sufuria ya moto iko Yerusalemu.
and the strengthe of hym schal passe fro ferdfulnesse, and hise princes fleynge schulen drede. The Lord seide, whos fier is in Sion, and his chymeney is in Jerusalem.
