以賽亞書
CH. 31
1
禍哉、那些下埃及求幫助的、是因仗賴馬匹、倚靠甚多的車輛、並倚靠強壯的馬兵、卻不仰望以色列的聖者、也不求問耶和華。

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the LORD.
2
其實耶和華有智慧.他必降災禍、並不反悔自己的話、卻要興起攻擊那作惡之家、又攻擊那作孽幫助人的。

Yet he too is wise and can bring disaster; he does not take back his words. He will rise up against the house of the wicked, against those who help evildoers.
3
埃及人不過是人、並不是 神.他們的馬不過是血肉、並不是靈.耶和華一伸手、那幫助人的必絆跌、那受幫助的也必跌倒、都一同滅亡。

But the Egyptians are men and not God; their horses are flesh and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, he who helps will stumble, he who is helped will fall; both will perish together.
4
耶和華對我如此說、獅子和少壯獅子、獲食咆哮、就是喊許多牧人來攻擊他、他總不因他們的聲音驚惶、也不因他們的喧嘩縮伏.如此、萬軍之耶和華、也必降臨在錫安山岡上爭戰。

This is what the LORD says to me: "As a lion growls, a great lion over his prey--and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against him, he is not frightened by their shouts or disturbed by their clamor--so the LORD Almighty will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.
5
雀鳥怎樣搧翅覆雛、萬軍之耶和華也要照樣保護耶路撒冷、他必保護拯救、要越門保守。

Like birds hovering overhead, the LORD Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will 'pass over' it and will rescue it."
6
以色列人哪、你們深深的悖逆耶和華、現今要歸向他。

Return to him you have so greatly revolted against, O Israelites.
7
到那日各人必將他金偶像、銀偶像、就是親手所造陷自己在罪中的、都拋棄了。

For in that day every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold your sinful hands have made.
8
亞述人必倒在刀下、並非人的刀.有刀要將他吞滅、並非人的刀.他必逃避這刀.他的少年人、必成為服苦的。

"Assyria will fall by a sword that is not of man; a sword, not of mortals, will devour them. They will flee before the sword and their young men will be put to forced labor.
9
他的磐石、必因驚嚇挪去、他的首領、必因大旗驚惶.這是那有火在錫安、有爐在耶路撒冷的耶和華說的。

Their stronghold will fall because of terror; at sight of the battle standard their commanders will panic," declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
