31:1	ה֣וֹי הַיֹּרְדִ֤ים מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ לְעֶזְרָ֔ה עַל־סוּסִ֖ים יִשָּׁעֵ֑נוּ וַיִּבְטְח֨וּ עַל־רֶ֜כֶב כִּ֣י רָ֗ב וְעַ֤ל פָּרָשִׁים֙ כִּֽי־עָצְמ֣וּ מְאֹ֔ד וְלֹ֤א שָׁעוּ֙ עַל־קְד֣וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶת־יְהֹוָ֖ה לֹ֥א דָרָֽשׁוּ׃	οὐαὶ οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐπὶ βοήθειαν οἱ ἐφ’ ἵπποις πεποιθότες καὶ ἐφ’ ἅρμασιν ἔστιν γὰρ πολλά καὶ ἐφ’ ἵπποις πλῆθος σφόδρα καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν πεποιθότες ἐπὶ τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ τὸν θεὸν οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν	Vae qui descendunt in Aegyptum ad auxilium, in equis sperantes, et habentes fiduciam super quadrigis, quia multae sunt ; et super equitibus, quia praevalidi nimis ; et non sunt confisi super Sanctum Israël, et Dominum non requisierunt !	አሌ፡ ሎሙ፡ ለእለ፡ ይወርዱ፡ ብሔረ፡ ግብጽ፡ ይርድእዎሙ፡ ወይትአመኑ፡ በአፍራሲሆሙ፡ ወበሠረገላቲሆሙ፤ እስመ፡ ምሉእ፡ አፍራሲሆሙ፡ ወበዝኀ፡ ፈድፋደ።	Woe 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!
31:2	וְגַם־ה֤וּא חָכָם֙ וַיָּ֣בֵא רָ֔ע וְאֶת־דְּבָרָ֖יו לֹ֣א הֵסִ֑יר וְקָם֙ עַל־בֵּ֣ית מְרֵעִ֔ים וְעַל־עֶזְרַ֖ת פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃	καὶ αὐτὸς σοφὸς ἦγεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς κακά καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀθετηθῇ καὶ ἐπαναστήσεται ἐπ’ οἴκους ἀνθρώπων πονηρῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐλπίδα αὐτῶν τὴν ματαίαν	Ipse autem sapiens adduxit malum, et verba sua non abstulit ; et consurget contra domum pessimorum, et contra auxilium operantium iniquitatem.	ወውእቱ፡ ጠቢብ፡ አምጽአ፡ እኪተ፡ ላዕሌሆሙ፡ ወኢይሔሱ፡ ቃሎ፣፡ ወይትነሣእ፡ ላዕለ፡ ቤተ፡ ዕደው፡ እኩያን፡ ወላዕለ፡ ትውክልቶሙ፡ ከንቱ።	Yet 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.
31:3	וּמִצְרַ֤יִם אָדָם֙ וְֽלֹא־אֵ֔ל וְסוּסֵיהֶ֥ם בָּשָׂ֖ר וְלֹא־ר֑וּחַ וַיהֹוָ֞ה יַטֶּ֣ה יָד֗וֹ וְכָשַׁ֤ל עוֹזֵר֙ וְנָפַ֣ל עָזֻ֔ר וְיַחְדָּ֖ו כֻּלָּ֥ם יִכְלָיֽוּן׃ {ס}	Αἰγύπτιον ἄνθρωπον καὶ οὐ θεόν ἵππων σάρκας καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν βοήθεια ὁ δὲ κύριος ἐπάξει τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπ’ αὐτούς καὶ κοπιάσουσιν οἱ βοηθοῦντες καὶ ἅμα πάντες ἀπολοῦνται	Aegyptus homo, et non deus ; et equi eorum caro, et non spiritus ; et Dominus inclinabit manum suam, et corruet auxiliator, et cadet cui praestatur auxilium, simulque omnes consumentur.	ለግብጽ፡ እለ፡ ከንቶሙ፡ እጓለ፡ እመሕያው፡ ወአኮ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ፈረስ፡ ዘሥጋ፡ ወአኮ፡ ረድኤት፤ ወእግዚአብሔር፡ ያመጽእ፡ እዴሁ፡ ላዕሌሆሙ፤ ወይደክሙ፡ እለ፡ ረድእዎሙ፡ ወይትሐጐሉ፡ ኵሎሙ፡ ኅቡረ።	Now 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.
31:4	כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָֽמַר־יְהֹוָ֣ה׀אֵלַ֡י כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר יֶהְגֶּה֩ הָאַרְיֵ֨ה וְהַכְּפִ֜יר עַל־טַרְפּ֗וֹ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִקָּרֵ֤א עָלָיו֙ מְלֹ֣א רֹעִ֔ים מִקּוֹלָם֙ לֹ֣א יֵחָ֔ת וּמֵהֲמוֹנָ֖ם לֹ֣א יַעֲנֶ֑ה כֵּ֗ן יֵרֵד֙ יְהֹוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת לִצְבֹּ֥א עַל־הַר־צִיּ֖וֹן וְעַל־גִּבְעָתָֽהּ׃	ὅτι οὕτως εἶπέν μοι κύριος ὃν τρόπον ἐὰν βοήσῃ ὁ λέων ἢ ὁ σκύμνος ἐπὶ τῇ θήρᾳ ᾗ ἔλαβεν καὶ κεκράξῃ ἐπ’ αὐτῇ ἕως ἂν ἐμπλησθῇ τὰ ὄρη τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡττήθησαν καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ θυμοῦ ἐπτοήθησαν οὕτως καταβήσεται κύριος σαβαωθ ἐπιστρατεῦσαι ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σιων ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη αὐτῆς	Quia haec dicit Dominus ad me : Quomodo si rugiat leo et catulus leonis super praedam suam ; et cum occurrerit ei multitudo pastorum, a voce eorum non formidabit, et a multitudine eorum non pavebit : sic descendet Dominus exercituum ut praelietur super montem Sion et super collem ejus.	እስመ፡ ከማሁ፡ ይቤለኒ፡ እግዚአብሔር፤ በከመ፡ ይጥሕር፡ አንበሳ፡ ወእጓለ፡ አንበሳ፡ ላዕለ፡ ዘይመሥጥ፡ ወይኬልሕ፡ ላዕሌሁ፡ እስከ፡ ይመልእ፡ አድባረ፡ ቃሉ፤ ወይትመውኡ፡ ወእምብዝኀ፡ መዐቱ፡ ይደነግፁ፣፡ ከማሁ፡ ይወርድ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ጸባኦት፡ ይጽባእ፡ በደብረ፡ ጽዮን፡ በውስተ፡ አድባሪሃ።	For Yahweh 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 Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
31:5	כְּצִפֳּרִ֣ים עָפ֔וֹת כֵּ֗ן יָגֵ֛ן יְהֹוָ֥ה צְבָא֖וֹת עַל־יְרוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם גָּנ֥וֹן וְהִצִּ֖יל פָּסֹ֥חַ וְהִמְלִֽיט׃	ὡς ὄρνεα πετόμενα οὕτως ὑπερασπιεῖ κύριος ὑπὲρ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐξελεῖται καὶ περιποιήσεται καὶ σώσει	Sicut aves volantes, sic proteget Dominus exercituum Jerusalem, protegens et liberans, transiens et salvans.	ከመ፡ ዖፍ፡ ዘይሰርር፡ ከማሁ፡ ይጸብእ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ጸባኦት፡ በእንተ፡ ኢየሩሳሌም፣፡ ይረድእ፡ ወያድኅን፡ ወይባልሕ፡ ወያሐዩ።	As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
31:6	שׁ֗וּבוּ לַאֲשֶׁ֛ר הֶעְמִ֥יקוּ סָרָ֖ה בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃	ἐπιστράφητε οἱ τὴν βαθεῖαν βουλὴν βουλευόμενοι καὶ ἄνομον	Convertimini, sicut in profundum recesseratis, filii Israël.	ተመየጡ፡ እለ፡ ዕሙቀ፡ ምክረ፡ ትመክሩ፡ ከመ፡ ተዐምፁ።	Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
31:7	כִּ֚י בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא יִמְאָס֗וּן אִ֚ישׁ אֱלִילֵ֣י כַסְפּ֔וֹ וֶאֱלִילֵ֖י זְהָב֑וֹ אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשׂ֥וּ לָכֶ֛ם יְדֵיכֶ֖ם חֵֽטְא׃	ὅτι τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀπαρνήσονται οἱ ἄνθρωποι τὰ χειροποίητα αὐτῶν τὰ ἀργυρᾶ καὶ τὰ χρυσᾶ ἃ ἐποίησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν	In die enim illa abjiciet vir idola argenti sui, et idola auri sui, quae fecerunt vobis manus vestrae in peccatum.	እስመ፡ ውእተ፡ አሚረ፡ የዐልውዎሙ፡ ሰብእ፡ ለአማልክቲሆሙ፡ ዘወርቅ፡ ወዘብሩር፡ ዘገብሩ፡ በእደዊሆሙ።	For 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.
31:8	וְנָפַ֤ל אַשּׁוּר֙ בְּחֶ֣רֶב לֹא־אִ֔ישׁ וְחֶ֥רֶב לֹא־אָדָ֖ם תֹּאכְלֶ֑נּוּ וְנָ֥ס לוֹ֙ מִפְּנֵי־חֶ֔רֶב וּבַחוּרָ֖יו לָמַ֥ס יִהְיֽוּ׃	καὶ πεσεῖται Ασσουρ οὐ μάχαιρα ἀνδρὸς οὐδὲ μάχαιρα ἀνθρώπου καταφάγεται αὐτόν καὶ φεύξεται οὐκ ἀπὸ προσώπου μαχαίρας οἱ δὲ νεανίσκοι ἔσονται εἰς ἥττημα	Et cadet Assur in gladio non viri, et gladius non hominis vorabit eum : et fugiet non a facie gladii, et juvenes ejus vectigales erunt.	ወይወድቁ፡ አሶር፤ ወአኮ፡ በኲናተ፡ ሰብእ፣፡ ወአኮ፡ መባሕተ፡ ብእሲ፡ ዘትበልዖሙ፡ ወአኮ፡ እምገጸ፡ ኲናት፡ ዘይጐይዩ።	“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.
31:9	וְסַלְעוֹ֙ מִמָּג֣וֹר יַעֲב֔וֹר וְחַתּ֥וּ מִנֵּ֖ס שָׂרָ֑יו נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֗ה אֲשֶׁר־א֥וּר לוֹ֙ בְּצִיּ֔וֹן וְתַנּ֥וּר ל֖וֹ בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ {פ}	πέτρᾳ γὰρ περιλημφθήσονται ὡς χάρακι καὶ ἡττηθήσονται ὁ δὲ φεύγων ἁλώσεται τάδε λέγει κύριος μακάριος ὃς ἔχει ἐν Σιων σπέρμα καὶ οἰκείους ἐν Ιερουσαλημ	Et fortitudo ejus a terrore transibit, et pavebunt fugientes principes ejus, dixit Dominus : cujus ignis est in Sion et caminus ejus in Jerusalem.	ወኰኵሕ፡ ትውሕጦሙ፡ ወይትመውኡ፤ ወዘሂ፡ አምሠጠ፡ ይሠገር።	His 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.
