1Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and depend on horses, and confide in chariots because [they are] many, and in horsemen because they are very strong; and who look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!
1Beda tým, ktorí idú dolu do Egypta o pomoc a spoliehajú sa na kone a nadejú sa na vozy, pretože ich je mnoho, a na jazdcov, pretože sú veľmi mocní, a nehľadia na Svätého Izraelovho a nehľadajú Hospodina.
2But he also is wise, and he bringeth evil, and recalleth not his words; and he will arise against the house of evildoers, and against the help of workers of iniquity.
2Ale aj on je mudry a uvedie zlé a neodstráni ani neodvolá svojich slov, ale povstane proti domu zlostníkov a proti pomoci tých, ktorí páchajú neprávosť.
3And the Egyptians are men, and not ùGod, and their horses flesh, and not spirit; and Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand, and he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall perish together.
3A Egypťania sú ľudia a nie silný Bôh, ich kone sú telo a nie duch. A preto len čo vystrie Hospodin svoju ruku, klesne pomocník, a padne ten, ktorému pomáhal, a tak spolu, všetci zahynú.
4For thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Like as the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, is not afraid of their voice, nor giveth way before the multitude of them; so will Jehovah of hosts come down to war upon mount Zion, and on the hill thereof.
4Lebo takto mi riekol Hospodin: Ako keď vrčí lev alebo ľvíča nad svojou korisťou, hoci sa svolá proti nemu hromada pastierov, že sa nezľakne ich hlasu ani sa nekrčí strachom pred ich lomozom, tak sostúpi Hospodin Zástupov, aby vojoval na vrchu Sione a na jeho pahrbe.
5As birds with outstretched wings, so will Jehovah of hosts cover Jerusalem; covering, he will also deliver, passing over, he will rescue [it].
5Jako keď poletujú vtáci sem a ta brániac svoje mláďatá, tak bude Hospodin Zástupov chrániť Jeruzalem, aj ochráni a vytrhne, šetriac obíde a vyslobodí.
6Turn unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, ye children of Israel;
6Navráťte sa k tomu, od ktorého tak hlboko zabŕdli synovia Izraelovi!
7for in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your sinful hands have made unto you.
7Lebo toho dňa zavrhnú každý svoje strieborné modly a svoje zlaté modly, ktorých vám narobily vaše ruky, aby ste hrešili.
8And Asshur shall fall by the sword, not of a great man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary;
8A Assúr padne od meča, no, nie od meča muža, a meč ho zožerie, no, nie meč človeka, a bude utekať pred mečom, a jeho mládenci budú musieť dávať plat.
9and for fear, he shall pass over to his rock, and his princes shall be afraid of the banner, saith Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
9A tak zajde jeho skala od strachu, a jeho kniežatá sa budú desiť prápora, hovorí Hospodin, ktorý má vatru na Sione a má pec v Jeruzaleme.
