Esajas 31

Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

fra Biblica
1 Ve jer, I, som rejser til Egypten efter hjælp, I, som sætter jeres lid til stridsvogne, heste og en sværm af ryttere i stedet for at søge hjælp hos Israels hellige Gud. 2 I sin visdom sender han ulykke over sit folk. Han ombestemmer sig ikke, men rejser sig imod dem og deres gudløse forbundsfæller på grund af deres ondskab. 3 Egypterne er dødelige mennesker, ikke guder. Deres heste er af kød og blod, ikke ånd. Når Herren løfter sin hånd imod dem, snubler og falder de sammen med dem, de prøver at hjælpe. Så er det ude med dem alle. 4 Herren sagde til mig: „Jeg er Herren, den Almægtige, og jeg vil kæmpe for Zions bjerg, som en løve kæmper for sit bytte. Lige meget hvor højt hyrderne råber og hvor meget de larmer for at skræmme løven væk, så flytter den sig ikke, men viser blot tænder. 5 Som fuglen, der svæver over sin rede for at beskytte den, sådan vil jeg beskytte og skærme Jerusalem. Jeg våger over byen og redder den.” 6 Israels folk, vend tilbage til den Gud, som I har været så utrolig oprørske imod. 7 Der kommer en dag, hvor I vil kassere de afguder af sølv og guld, som jeres syndige hænder har skabt. 8 Da vil assyrerne falde, men ikke for menneskers sværd. Gud vil selv nedkæmpe dem. De vil prøve at flygte, men de unge mænd bliver ført bort som slaver. 9 Hærchefen vil flygte i rædsel, officererne tage benene på nakken, når de får øje på Israels banner, siger Herren, for hans vredes ild brænder i Jerusalem.

Esajas 31

King James Version

1 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! 2 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. 3 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. 4 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. 5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it. 6 Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted. 7 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. 8 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. 9 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.
