Isaiah 31

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who depend upon horses: Who put their trust in chariots because of their number, and in horsemen because od their combined power, But look not to the Holy One of Israel nor seek the LORD!	1 ουαι οι καταβαινοντες εις αιγυπτον επι βοηθειαν οι εφ' ιπποις πεποιθοτες και εφ' αρμασιν εστιν γαρ πολλα και εφ' ιπποις πληθος σφοδρα και ουκ ησαν πεποιθοτες επι τον αγιον του ισραηλ και τον θεον ουκ εξεζητησαν
2 Yet he too is wise and will bring disaster; he will not turn from what he has threatened to do. He will rise up against the house of the wicked and against those who help evildoers.	2 και αυτος σοφος ηγεν επ' αυτους κακα και ο λογος αυτου ου μη αθετηθη και επαναστησεται επ' οικους ανθρωπων πονηρων και επι την ελπιδα αυτων την ματαιαν
3 The Egyptians are men, not God, their horses are flesh, not spirit; When the LORD stretches forth his hand, the helper shall stumble, the one helped shall fall, and both of them shall perish together.	3 αιγυπτιον ανθρωπον και ου θεον ιππων σαρκας και ουκ εστιν βοηθεια ο δε κυριος επαξει την χειρα αυτου επ' αυτους και κοπιασουσιν οι βοηθουντες και αμα παντες απολουνται
4 Thus says the LORD to me: As a lion or a lion cub growling over its prey, With a band of shepherds assembled against it, Is neither frightened by their shouts nor disturbed by their noise, So shall the LORD of hosts come down to wage war upon the mountain and hill of Zion.	4 οτι ουτως ειπεν μοι κυριος ον τροπον εαν βοηση ο λεων η ο σκυμνος επι τη θηρα η ελαβεν και κεκραξη επ' αυτη εως αν εμπλησθη τα ορη της φωνης αυτου και ηττηθησαν και το πληθος του θυμου επτοηθησαν ουτως καταβησεται κυριος σαβαωθ επιστρατευσαι επι το ορος το σιων επι τα ορη αυτης
5 Like hovering birds, so the LORD of hosts shall shield Jerusalem, To protect and deliver, to spare and rescue it.	5 ως ορνεα πετομενα ουτως υπερασπιει κυριος υπερ ιερουσαλημ και εξελειται και περιποιησεται και σωσει
6 Return, O children of Israel, to him whom you have utterly deserted.	6 επιστραφητε οι την βαθειαν βουλην βουλευομενοι και ανομον
7 On that day each one of you shall spurn his sinful idols of shlver and gold, which he made with his hands.	7 οτι τη ημερα εκεινη απαρνησονται οι ανθρωποι τα χειροποιητα αυτων τα αργυρα και τα χρυσα α εποιησαν αι χειρες αυτων
8 He shall rush past his crag in panic, and his princes shall flee in terror from his standard, Says the LORD who has a fire in Zion and a furnace in Jerusalem.	8 και πεσειται ασσουρ ου μαχαιρα ανδρος ουδε μαχαιρα ανθρωπου καταφαγεται αυτον και φευξεται ουκ απο προσωπου μαχαιρας οι δε νεανισκοι εσονται εις ηττημα
	9 πετρα γαρ περιλημφθησονται ως χαρακι και ηττηθησονται ο δε φευγων αλωσεται ταδε λεγει κυριος μακαριος ος εχει εν σιων σπερμα και οικειους εν ιερουσαλημ
