Isaiah 31
1 Woe vnto them that goe downe into Egypt for helpe, and stay vpon horses, and trust in charets, because they are many, and in horsemen, because they be very strong: but they looke not vnto the holy one of Israel, nor seeke vnto the Lord.
Vae qui descendunt in Aegyptum ad auxilium, in equis sperantes, et habentes fiduciam super quadrigis, quia multae sunt: et super equitibus, quia praevalidi nimis: et non sunt confisi super sanctum Israel, et Dominum non requisierunt.
2 But he yet is wisest: therefore he wil bring euill, and not turne backe his worde, but he will arise against the house of the wicked, and against the helpe of them that worke vanitie.
Ipse autem sapiens adduxit malum, et verba sua non abstulit: et consurget contra domum pessimorum, et contra auxilium operantium iniquitatem.
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh and not spirite: and when the Lord shall stretch out his hand, the helper shall fall, and hee that is holpen shall fall, and they shall altogether faile.
Aegyptus, homo, et non Deus: et equi eorum, caro, et non spiritus: et Dominus inclinabit manum suam, et corruet auxiliator, et cadet cui praestatur auxilium, simulque omnes consumentur.
4 For thus hath the Lord spoken vnto me, As the lyon or lyons whelpe roareth vpon his praye, against whom if a multitude of shepheards be called, hee will not be afraide at their voyce, neither will humble him selfe at their noise: so shall the Lord of hostes come downe to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
Quia haec dicit Dominus ad me: Quomodo si rugiat leo, et catulus leonis super praedam suam, et cum occurrerit ei multitudo pastorum, a voce eorum non formidabit, et a multitudine eorum non pavebit: sic descendet Dominus exercituum ut praelietur super montem Sion, et super collem eius.
5 As birds that flie, so shall the Lord of hostes defend Ierusalem by defending and deliuering, by passing through and preseruing it.
Sicut aves volantes, sic proteget Dominus exercituum Ierusalem, protegens et liberans, transiens et salvans.
6 O ye children of Israel, turne againe, in as much as ye are sunken deepe in rebellion.
Convertimini sicut in profundum recesseratis filii Israel.
7 For in that day euery man shall cast out his idoles of siluer, and his idoles of golde, which your handes haue made you, euen a sinne.
In die enim illa abiiciet vir idola argenti sui, et idola auri sui, quae fecerunt vobis manus vestrae in peccatum.
8 Then shall Asshur fall by the sworde, not of man, neither shall the sworde of man deuoure him, and hee shall flee from the sworde, and his yong men shall faint.
Et cadet Assur in gladio non viri, et gladius non hominis vorabit eum, et fugiet non a facie gladii: et iuvenes eius vectigales erunt:
9 And he shall go for feare to his towre, and his princes shall be afraide of the standart, sayeth the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his fornace in Ierusalem.
et fortitudo eius a terrore transibit, et pavebunt fugientes principes eius: dixit Dominus: cuius ignis est in Sion. et caminus eius in Ierusalem.
