Izaija 31

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Teško onima što slaze u Egipat po pomoć i nadu u konje polažu te se uzdaju u mnoga kola i u mnoštvo konjanika, ne gledajuć’ s uzdanjem u Sveca Izraelova i od Jahve savjeta ne tražeć’.	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!
2 Al’ i on je mudar i navalit će zlo, i neće poreć’ svojih prijetnja; on će ustat’ na dom zlikovački i na pomoć zločinačku.	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.
3 Egipćanin je čovjek, a ne Bog; konji su mu meso, a ne duh; kada Jahve rukom mahne, posrnut će pomagač i past će onaj komu pomaže – svi će zajedno propasti.	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.
4 Asirije Da, ovako mi reče Jahve: »Kao što lav ili lavić nad plijenom reži, pa i kad se strči na njega mnoštvo pastira, on se ne prepada vike njihove, nit’ za njihovu graju mari – tako će Jahve nad vojskama sići da vojuje za goru Sion, za visinu njezinu.	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.
5 Kao ptice što lepršaju krilima, Jahve nad vojskama zaklanjat će Jeruzalem, zaklanjat’ ga, izbaviti, poštedjet’ ga i spasiti.	5 Like hovering birds, so the LORD of hosts shall shield Jerusalem, To protect and deliver, to spare and rescue it.
6 Vratite se onome od kog otpadoste tako duboko, sinovi Izraelovi.	6 Return, O children of Israel, to him whom you have utterly deserted.
7 Da, u onaj će dan svatko prezreti svoje kumire srebrne i zlatne što ih rukama sebi za grijeh načiniste.	7 On that day each one of you shall spurn his sinful idols of shlver and gold, which he made with his hands.
8 Asur neće pasti od mača ljudskoga: proždrijet će ga mač, ali ne čovječji. Od mača će bježat’, al’ će mu satnici pod tlaku pasti.	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.
9 Užasnut, ostavit će svoju hridinu, prestravljeni, knezovi od svoje će bježat’ zastave« – riječ je Jahve, čiji je oganj na Sionu i čija je peć u Jeruzalemu.
