1埃及无助,唯 神能拯救
1Wo [to] those going down to Egypt for help, And on horses lean, And trust on chariots, because many, And on horsemen, because very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And Jehovah have not sought.
2耶和华是智慧的,他必降下灾祸,决不收回自己的话,却要起来攻击作恶者之家,又攻击那些助人作孽的。
2And He also [is] wise, and bringeth in evil, And His words He hath not turned aside, And He hath risen against a house of evil doers, And against the help of workers of iniquity.
3埃及人是人,并不是 神;他们的马匹是血肉,并不是灵;耶和华一伸手,那帮助人的就绊倒,那受帮助的也必仆倒,并且一同灭亡。
3And the Egyptians [are men], and not God, And their horses [are] flesh, and not spirit, And Jehovah stretcheth out His hand, And stumbled hath the helper, And fallen hath the helped one, And together all of them are consumed.
4因为耶和华对我这样说:“狮子和少壮狮子怎样因捕获猎物而咆哮,虽然召集了许多的牧人来攻击它们,它们并不因他们的声音而惊慌,也不因他们的喧嚷而蹲伏;照样,万军之耶和华必降临在锡安山和它的冈陵上争战。”
4For thus said Jehovah unto me: `As growl doth the lion and the young lion over his prey, Called against whom is a multitude of shepherds, From their voice he is not affrighted, And from their noise he is not humbled; So come down doth Jehovah of Hosts To war on mount Zion, and on her height.
5雀鸟怎样搧翅护雏,万军之耶和华也必照样保护耶路撒冷,他必保护和拯救,他必越过和搭救。
5As birds flying, so doth Jehovah of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.`
6以色列人哪!你们是要回转,归向那曾被你们彻底背弃的耶和华。
6Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostacy.
7到那日,各人都必拋弃自己的金偶像和银偶像,就是你们亲手所做,把自己陷在罪中的。
7For in that day despise doth each His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you — a sin.
8预言亚述灭亡亚述人必倒在刀下,不是人的刀;必有刀把他们吞灭,也不是人的刀。他们必不能逃避刀剑,他们的年轻人必作苦工。
8And fallen hath Asshur by sword, not of the high, Yea, a sword — not of the low, doth consume him, And he hath fled for himself from the face of a sword, And his young men become tributary.
9他们的磐石必因惊慌而挪去,他们的领袖必因见到以色列的旗帜而惊惶。这是那有火在锡安,有炉在耶路撒冷的耶和华说的。
9And [to] his rock from fear he passeth on, And affrighted by the ensign have been his princes — an affirmation of Jehovah, Who hath a light in Zion, And who hath a furnace in Jerusalem!
