31:1

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!

禍哉！那些下埃及求幫助的，是因仗賴馬匹，倚靠甚多的車輛，並倚靠強壯的馬兵，卻不仰望以色列的聖者，也不求問耶和華。

31:2

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.

其實，耶和華有智慧；他必降災禍，並不反悔自己的話，卻要興起攻擊那作惡之家，又攻擊那作孽幫助人的。

31:3

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.

埃及人不過是人，並不是上帝；他們的馬不過是血肉，並不是靈。耶和華一伸手，那幫助人的必絆跌，那受幫助的也必跌倒，都一同滅亡。

31:4

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.

耶和華對我如此說：獅子和少壯獅子護食咆哮，就是喊許多牧人來攻擊牠，牠總不因他們的聲音驚惶，也不因他們的喧嘩縮伏。如此，萬軍之耶和華也必降臨在錫安山岡上爭戰。

31:5

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.”

雀鳥怎樣搧翅覆雛，萬軍之耶和華也要照樣保護耶路撒冷。他必保護拯救，要越門保守。

31:6

ተመየጡ፡ እለ፡ ዕሙቀ፡ ምክረ፡ ትመክሩ፡ ከመ፡ ተዐምፁ።

Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.

以色列人哪，你們深深地悖逆耶和華，現今要歸向他。

31:7

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.

到那日，各人必將他金偶像銀偶像，就是親手所造、陷自己在罪中的，都拋棄了。

31:8

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.

亞述人必倒在刀下，並非人的刀；有刀要將他吞滅，並非人的刀。他必逃避這刀；他的少年人必成為服苦的。

31:9

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.

他的磐石必因驚嚇挪去；他的首領必因大旗驚惶。這是那有火在錫安、有爐在耶路撒冷的耶和華說的。
