以賽亞書 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, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek Jehovah!
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 also is wise, and will bring evil, 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 埃及人不過是人，並不是上帝； 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。
Now the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh, and not spirit. And when Jehovah shall stretch out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they shall all be consumed together.
4 耶和華對我如此說： 獅子和少壯獅子護食咆哮， 就是喊許多牧人來攻擊牠， 牠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。
For thus says Jehovah to me, As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, even if a multitude of shepherds are called forth against him, he will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them, so Jehovah of hosts will come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill of it.
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。
As birds hovering, so Jehovah of hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver. He will pass over and preserve.
6 以色列人哪，你們深深地悖逆耶和華，現今要歸向他。
Turn ye to him from whom ye have deeply revolted, O sons of Israel.
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 they shall cast away every man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made to you for a sin.
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。
And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword, not of man, and the sword, not of men, shall devour him. But he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become subject to task work.
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。
And his rock shall pass away because of terror, and his rulers shall be dismayed at the ensign, says Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
