< Esias 31 >

1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, who trust in horses and chariots, for they are many; and in horses, [which are] a great multitude; and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought 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 Therefore he has wisely brought evils upon them, and his word shall not be frustrated; and he shall rise up against the houses of wicked men, and against their vain hope,
Ipse autem sapiens adduxit malum, et verba sua non abstulit: et consurget contra domum pessimorum, et contra auxilium operantium iniquitatem.
3 [even] an Egyptian, a man, and not God; the flesh of horses, and there is no help [in them]: but the Lord shall bring his hand upon them, and the helpers shall fail, and all shall perish together.
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 said the Lord to me, As a lion would roar, or a lion's whelp over prey which he has taken, and cry over it, until the mountains are filled with his voice, and [the animals] are awe-struck and tremble at the fierceness of his wrath: so the Lord of hosts shall descend to fight upon the mount Sion, [even] upon her mountains.
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 flying, so shall the Lord of hosts defend; he shall defend Jerusalem, and he shall rescue, and save and deliver.
Sicut aves volantes, sic proteget Dominus exercituum Ierusalem, protegens et liberans, transiens et salvans.
6 Turn, you children of Israel, who devise a deep and sinful counsel.
Convertimini sicut in profundum recesseratis filii Israel.
7 For in that day men shall renounce their silver idols and [their] golden idols, which their hands made.
In die enim illa abiiciet vir idola argenti sui, et idola auri sui, quae fecerunt vobis manus vestrae in peccatum.
8 And the Assyrian shall fall: not the sword of a great man, nor the sword of a mean man shall devour him; neither shall he flee from the face of the sword: but the young men shall be overthrown:
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 for they shall be compassed with rocks as with a trench, and shall be worsted; and he that flees shall be taken. Thus says the Lord, Blesses is he that has a seed in Sion, and household friends in Jerusalem.
et fortitudo eius a terrore transibit, et pavebunt fugientes principes eius: dixit Dominus: cuius ignis est in Sion. et caminus eius in Ierusalem.
