Isaiah 31
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t seek Yahweh!
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.
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
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.
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
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.
4 For Yahweh says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
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.
5 As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
Kao ptice krilima Gospod æe nad vojskama zaklanjati Jerusalim, i zaklanjajuæi izbaviæe, i oblazeæi saèuvaæe.
6 Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
Vratite se k njemu, od kojega se sasvijem odvrgoste, sinovi Izrailjevi!
7 For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
Jer æe u onaj dan svaki odbaciti idole svoje srebrne, i zlatne svoje idole, koje vam ruke vaše naèiniše na grijeh.
8 “The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
I Asirac æe pasti od maèa ne èovjeèijega, i maè ne èovjeèji poješæe ga, i bježaæe ispred maèa, i mladiæi æe njegovi plaæati danak.
9 His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
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.
