1Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t seek Yahweh!
1ويل للذين ينزلون الى مصر للمعونة ويستندون على الخيل ويتوكلون على المركبات لانها كثيرة وعلى الفرسان لانهم اقوياء جدا ولا ينظرون الى قدوس اسرائيل ولا يطلبون الرب.
2Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
2وهو ايضا حكيم وياتي بالشر ولا يرجع بكلامه ويقوم على بيت فاعلي الشر وعلى معونة فاعلي الاثم.
3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
3واما المصريون فهم اناس لا آلهة وخيلهم جسد لا روح والرب يمد يده فيعثر المعين ويسقط المعان ويفنيان كلاهما معا
4For thus says Yahweh to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
4لانه هكذا قال لي الرب كما يهر فوق فريسته الاسد والشبل الذي يدعى عليه جماعة من الرعاة وهو لا يرتاع من صوتهم ولا يتذلل لجمهورهم هكذا ينزل رب الجنود للمحاربة عن جبل صهيون وعن اكمتها.
5As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
5كطيور مرفّة هكذا يحامي رب الجنود عن اورشليم يحامي فينقذ يعفو فينجي
6Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
6ارجعوا الى الذي ارتد بنو اسرائيل عنه متعمقين.
7For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
7لان في ذلك اليوم يرفضون كل واحد اوثان فضته واوثان ذهبه التي صنعتها لكم ايديكم خطيئة.
8“The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
8ويسقط اشور بسيف غير رجل وسيف غير انسان ياكله فيهرب من امام السيف ويكون مختاروه تحت الجزية
9His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
9وصخره من الخوف يزول ومن الراية يرتعب رؤساؤه يقول الرب الذي له نار في صهيون وله تنور في اورشليم
