Isaiah 31
1 Cursed are those who go down to Egypt for help, and who put their faith in horses; looking to war-carriages for salvation, because of their numbers; and to horsemen, because they are very strong; but they are not looking to the Holy One of Israel, or turning their hearts to the Lord;
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 Though he is wise, and able to send evil, and his purpose will not be changed; but he will go against the house of the evil-doers, and against those to whom they are looking for help.
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 For the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit: and when the Lord's hand is stretched out, the helper and he who is helped will come down 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 the Lord has said to me, As a lion, or a young lion, makes an angry noise over his food, and if a band of herdsmen come out against him, he will not be in fear of their voices, or give up his food for their noise: so the Lord of armies will come down to make war against Mount Zion and its hill.
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 Like birds with outstretched wings, so will the Lord of armies be a cover to Jerusalem; he will be a cover and salvation for it, going over it he will keep it from danger.
Kao ptice krilima Gospod æe nad vojskama zaklanjati Jerusalim, i zaklanjajuæi izbaviæe, i oblazeæi saèuvaæe.
6 Come back to him who has been so deeply sinned against by the children of Israel.
Vratite se k njemu, od kojega se sasvijem odvrgoste, sinovi Izrailjevi!
7 For in that day they will all give up their images of silver and of gold, the sin which they made for themselves.
Jer æe u onaj dan svaki odbaciti idole svoje srebrne, i zlatne svoje idole, koje vam ruke vaše naèiniše na grijeh.
8 Then the Assyrian will come down by the sword, but not of man; the sword, not of men, will be the cause of his destruction: and he will go in flight from the sword, and his young men will be put to forced work.
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 And his rock will come to nothing because of fear, and his chiefs will go in flight from the flag, says the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his altar 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.
