Isaiah 31

وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَنْزِلُونَ إِلَى مِصْرَ لِلْمَعُونَةِ، وَيَسْتَنِدُونَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ وَيَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى الْمَرْكَبَاتِ لأَنَّهَا كَثِيرَةٌ، وَعَلَى الْفُرْسَانِ لأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوِيَاءُ جِدًّا، وَلاَ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلاَ يَطْلُبُونَ الرَّبَّ.

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

وَهُوَ أَيْضًا حَكِيمٌ وَيَأْتِي بِالشَّرِّ وَلاَ يَرْجعُ بِكَلاَمِهِ، وَيَقُومُ عَلَى بَيْتِ فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ وَعَلَى مَعُونَةِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ.

Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

وَأَمَّا الْمِصْرِيُّونَ فَهُمْ أُنَاسٌ لاَ آلِهَةٌ، وَخَيْلُهُمْ جَسَدٌ لاَ رُوحٌ. وَالرَّبُّ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ فَيَعْثُرُ الْمُعِينُ، وَيَسْقُطُ الْمُعَانُ وَيَفْنَيَانِ كِلاَهُمَا مَعًا.

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

لأَنَّهُ هكَذَا قَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ: «كَمَا يَهِرُّ فَوْقَ فَرِيسَتِهِ الأَسَدُ وَالشِّبْلُ الَّذِي يُدْعَى عَلَيْهِ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الرُّعَاةِ وَهُوَ لاَ يَرْتَاعُ مِنْ صَوْتِهِمْ وَلاَ يَتَذَلَّلُ لِجُمْهُورِهِمْ، هكَذَا يَنْزِلُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ عَنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ وَعَنْ أَكَمَتِهَا.

For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

كَطُيُورٍ مُرِفَّةٍ هكَذَا يُحَامِي رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ. يُحَامِي فَيُنْقِذُ. يَعْفُو فَيُنَجِّي».

As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.

اِرْجِعُوا إِلَى الَّذِي ارْتَدَّ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْهُ مُتَعَمِّقِينَ.

Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

لأَنْ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَرْفُضُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَوْثَانَ فِضَّتِهِ وَأَوْثَانَ ذَهَبِهِ الَّتِي صَنَعَتْهَا لَكُمْ أَيْدِيكُمْ خَطِيئَةً.

For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

وَيَسْقُطُ أَشُّورُ بِسَيْفِ غَيْرِ رَجُل، وَسَيْفُ غَيْرِ إِنْسَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُ، فَيَهْرُبُ مِنْ أَمَامِ السَّيْفِ، وَيَكُونُ مُخْتَارُوهُ تَحْتَ الْجِزْيَةِ.

Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.

وَصَخْرُهُ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ يَزُولُ، وَمِنَ الرَّايَةِ يَرْتَعِبُ رُؤَسَاؤُهُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَهُ نَارٌ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَلَهُ تَنُّورٌ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
