以赛亚书 31
1 祸哉！那些下埃及求帮助的， 是因仗赖马匹，倚靠甚多的车辆， 并倚靠强壮的马兵， 却不仰望以色列的圣者， 也不求问耶和华。
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 do not look to the Holy One of Israel, and they do not seek the LORD!
2 其实，耶和华有智慧； 他必降灾祸， 并不反悔自己的话， 却要兴起攻击那作恶之家， 又攻击那作孽帮助人的。
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.
3 埃及人不过是人，并不是 神； 他们的马不过是血肉，并不是灵。 耶和华一伸手，那帮助人的必绊跌， 那受帮助的也必跌倒，都一同灭亡。
Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
4 耶和华对我如此说： 狮子和少壮狮子护食咆哮， 就是喊许多牧人来攻击它， 它总不因他们的声音惊惶， 也不因他们的喧哗缩伏。 如此，万军之耶和华 也必降临在锡安山冈上争战。
For the LORD 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 the LORD of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
5 雀鸟怎样搧翅覆雏， 万军之耶和华也要照样保护耶路撒冷。 他必保护拯救， 要越门保守。
As birds hovering, so the LORD of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
6 以色列人哪，你们深深地悖逆耶和华，现今要归向他。
Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
7 到那日，各人必将他金偶像银偶像，就是亲手所造、陷自己在罪中的，都抛弃了。
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.
8 亚述人必倒在刀下，并非人的刀； 有刀要将他吞灭，并非人的刀。 他必逃避这刀； 他的少年人必成为服苦的。
“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.
9 他的磐石必因惊吓挪去； 他的首领必因大旗惊惶。 这是那有火在锡安、 有炉在耶路撒冷的耶和华说的。
His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
