Isaías 31
Septante en francais
1Malheur à vous qui descendez en Égypte pour chercher du secours, et qui mettez votre confiance en des chevaux et des chars, parce que les chars sont nombreux et que la multitude des cavaliers est grande ! Ils n'ont point eu foi au Saint d'Israël, et ils n'ont point cherché le Seigneur.
2Et dans sa sagesse il leur a envoyé les maux prédits ; et sa parole ne sera pas trompée ; il s'élèvera contre les maisons des hommes pervers, et contre leur vaine espérance.
3En un Égyptien, il y a un homme et non un Dieu ; en des chairs de chevaux, il n'y a pas de secours ; le Seigneur portera la main sur eux ; et leurs auxiliaires seront défaillants, et ils périront tous à la fois.
4Car voici ce que m'a dit le Seigneur : De même qu'un lion ou un lionceau rugit sur la proie qu'il a saisie, et crie jusqu'à ce qu'il ait rempli de sa voix les montagnes ; alors les animaux sont abattus, et cette colère les fait tous trembler : ainsi le Seigneur Dieu des armées descendra pour combattre sur la montagne de Sion, sur ses montagnes.
5Tel un oiseau étend les ailes, tel le Seigneur couvrira Jérusalem ; il la protègera et lui fera miséricorde ; il prendra soin d'elle et la sauvera.
6Convertissez-vous, fils d'Israël, qui avez formé au fond de vos cœurs un conseil impie.
7Car ce jour-là les hommes renonceront aux idoles d'or, aux idoles d'argent, œuvres de leurs mains.
8Et Assur tombera ; ce n'est pas le glaive d'un guerrier, ce n'est pas le glaive d'un homme qui le dévorera, et il ne fuira pas devant la face d'un glaive ; et ses jeunes hommes seront en servitude ;
9Ils seront entourés de pierres comme d'une palissade, et ils seront défaits ; et quiconque essayera de fuir sera pris. Voici ce que dit le Seigneur : Heureux celui qui a sa race en Sion, et sa demeure en Jérusalem !
Reina-Valera 1909
1¡AY de los que descienden á Egipto por ayuda, y confían en caballos; y su esperanza ponen en carros, porque son muchos, y en caballeros, porque son valientes; y no miraron al Santo de Israel, ni buscaron á Jehová!
2Mas él también es sabio, y traerá el mal, y no retirará sus palabras. Levantaráse pues contra la casa de los malignos, y contra el auxilio de los obradores de iniquidad.
3Y los Egipcios hombres son, y no Dios; y sus caballos carne, y no espíritu: de manera que en extendiendo Jehová su mano, caerá el ayudador, y caerá el ayudado, y todos ellos desfallecerán á una.
4Porque Jehová me dijo á mí de esta manera: Como el león y el cachorro del león brama sobre su presa, y si se llega contra él cuadrilla de pastores, no temerá por sus voces, ni se acobardará por el tropel de ellos: así Jehová de los ejércitos descenderá á pelear por el monte de Sión, y por su collado.
5Como las aves que vuelan, así amparará Jehová de los ejércitos á Jerusalem, amparando, librando, pasando, y salvando.
6Convertíos á aquel contra quien los hijos de Israel profundamente se rebelaron.
7Porque en aquel día arrojará el hombre sus ídolos de plata, y sus ídolos de oro, que para vosotros han hecho vuestras manos pecadoras.
8Entonces caerá el Assur por cuhillo, no de varón; y consumirálo espada, no de hombre; y huirá de la presencia de la espada, y sus mancebos serán tributarios.
9Y de miedo pasará su fortaleza, y sus príncipes tendrán pavor de la bandera, dice Jehová, cuyo fuego está en Sión, y su horno en Jerusalem.
King James Version
1Woe 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!
2Yet 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.
3Now 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.
4For 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.
5As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
6Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
7For 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.
8Then 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.
9And 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.
World English Bible
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 the LORD!
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.
3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
4For the LORD says 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 the LORD of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
5As birds hovering, so the LORD of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
6Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
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.
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.
9His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
