יְשַׁעְיָהוּ 31

1 הֹ֣וי הַיֹּרְדִ֤ים מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ לְעֶזְרָ֔ה עַל־סוּסִ֖ים יִשָּׁעֵ֑נוּ וַיִּבְטְח֨וּ עַל־רֶ֜כֶב כִּ֣י רָ֗ב וְעַ֤ל פָּֽרָשִׁים֙ כִּֽי־עָצְמ֣וּ מְאֹ֔ד וְלֹ֤א שָׁעוּ֙ עַל־קְדֹ֣ושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶת־יְהוָ֖ה לֹ֥א דָרָֽשׁוּ׃

Woe to! those [who] go down Egypt for help on horses they depend and they have relied on chariotry for [it is] many and on horsemen for they are numerous exceedingly and not they look on [the] holy [one] of Israel and Yahweh not they seek.

2 וְגַם־ה֤וּא חָכָם֙ וַיָּ֣בֵא רָ֔ע וְאֶת־דְּבָרָ֖יו לֹ֣א הֵסִ֑יר וְקָם֙ עַל־בֵּ֣ית מְרֵעִ֔ים וְעַל־עֶזְרַ֖ת פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

And also he [is] wise and he has brought calamity and words his not he has turned aside and he will rise up on [the] house of evil-doers and on [the] help of [those who] do wickedness.

3 וּמִצְרַ֤יִם אָדָם֙ וְֽלֹא־אֵ֔ל וְסוּסֵיהֶ֥ם בָּשָׂ֖ר וְלֹא־ר֑וּחַ וַֽיהוָ֞ה יַטֶּ֣ה יָדֹ֗ו וְכָשַׁ֤ל עֹוזֵר֙ וְנָפַ֣ל עָזֻ֔ר וְיַחְדָּ֖ו כֻּלָּ֥ם יִכְלָיֽוּן׃ ס

And Egypt [is] humankind and not God and horses their [are] flesh and not spirit and Yahweh he will stretch out hand his and he will stumble [one who] helps and he will fall [one who] is helped and together all of them they will come to an end!

4 כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָֽמַר־יְהוָ֣ה ׀ אֵלַ֡י כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר יֶהְגֶּה֩ הָאַרְיֵ֨ה וְהַכְּפִ֜יר עַל־טַרְפֹּ֗ו אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִקָּרֵ֤א עָלָיו֙ מְלֹ֣א רֹעִ֔ים מִקֹּולָם֙ לֹ֣א יֵחָ֔ת וּמֵֽהֲמֹונָ֖ם לֹ֣א יַֽעֲנֶ֑ה כֵּ֗ן יֵרֵד֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֔ות לִצְבֹּ֥א עַל־הַר־צִיֹּ֖ון וְעַל־גִּבְעָתָֽהּ׃

For thus he has said Yahweh - to me just as it growls the lion and the young lion over prey its that it is summoned on it a multitude of shepherds from voice their not it is dismayed and from tumult their not it cringes so he will come down Yahweh of hosts to wage war on [the] mountain of Zion and on hill its.

5 כְּצִפֳּרִ֣ים עָפֹ֔ות כֵּ֗ן יָגֵ֛ן יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֖ות עַל־יְרֽוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם גָּנֹ֥ון וְהִצִּ֖יל פָּסֹ֥חַ וְהִמְלִֽיט׃

Like birds flying so he will defend Yahweh of hosts Jerusalem he will defend [it] and he will rescue [it] he will pass over [it] and he will deliver [it].

6 שׁ֗וּבוּ לַאֲשֶׁ֛ר הֶעְמִ֥יקוּ סָרָ֖ה בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

Return to [the one] whom they have made deep rebellion [the] people of Israel.

7 כִּ֚י בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֔וּא יִמְאָס֗וּן אִ֚ישׁ אֱלִילֵ֣י כַסְפֹּ֔ו וֶאֱלִילֵ֖י זְהָבֹ֑ו אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשׂ֥וּ לָכֶ֛ם יְדֵיכֶ֖ם חֵֽטְא׃

For in the day that they will reject! everyone [the] idols of silver his and [the] idols of gold his which they have made for you hands your sin.

8 וְנָפַ֤ל אַשּׁוּר֙ בְּחֶ֣רֶב לֹא־אִ֔ישׁ וְחֶ֥רֶב לֹֽא־אָדָ֖ם תֹּֽאכֲלֶ֑נּוּ וְנָ֥ס לֹו֙ מִפְּנֵי־חֶ֔רֶב וּבַחוּרָ֖יו לָמַ֥ס יִהְיֽוּ׃

And it will fall Assyria by a sword not a human and a sword not a human it will consume it and it will flee itself from before a sword and young men its forced labor they will become.

9 וְסַלְעֹו֙ מִמָּגֹ֣ור יַֽעֲבֹ֔ור וְחַתּ֥וּ מִנֵּ֖ס שָׂרָ֑יו נְאֻם־יְהוָ֗ה אֲשֶׁר־א֥וּר לֹו֙ בְּצִיֹּ֔ון וְתַנּ֥וּר לֹ֖ו בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ ס

And rock its from terror it will pass away and they will be dismayed from a standard commanders its [the] utterance of Yahweh who fire [belongs] to him in Zion and an oven [belongs] to him in Jerusalem.
