Isaiah 31

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 Woe to those going down to Egypt for help, who put their trust in horses, who rely on the quantity ofchariots, and on great strength of cavalrymen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel or consult Yahweh.	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 can bring disaster and he wil not go back on his word; he wil rise against thebreed of evil-doers and against those who protect wrong-doers.	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 Egyptian is human, not divine, his horses are flesh, not spirit; Yahweh wil stretch out his hand: theprotector wil stumble, the protected wil fal and all wil 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 Yes, this is what Yahweh has said to me: As a lion or lion cub growls over its prey, when scores ofshepherds are summoned to drive it off, without being frightened by their shouting or cowed by the noise theymake, just so will Yahweh Sabaoth descend to fight for Mount Zion and for its hil .	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 wil Yahweh Sabaoth protect Jerusalem; by protecting it, he will save it, bysupporting it, he wil deliver it.	5 ως ορνεα πετομενα ουτως υπερασπιει κυριος υπερ ιερουσαλημ και εξελειται και περιποιησεται και σωσει
6 Come back to the one whom the Israelites have so deeply betrayed!	6 επιστραφητε οι την βαθειαν βουλην βουλευομενοι και ανομον
7 For, that day, each of you wil throw away the false gods of silver and the false gods of gold which yourown sinful hands have made.	7 οτι τη ημερα εκεινη απαρνησονται οι ανθρωποι τα χειροποιητα αυτων τα αργυρα και τα χρυσα α εποιησαν αι χειρες αυτων
8 Assyria will fal by the sword, not that of a man, wil be devoured by the sword, of no human being, hewil flee before the sword and his young warriors will be enslaved.	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 In his terror he wil abandon his rock, and his panic-stricken officers desert the standard -- declaresYahweh, whose fire is in Zion, whose furnace, in Jerusalem.	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
