Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help; / They rely on horses / And trust in chariots because they are many / And in horsemen because they are very strong; / But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, / Nor seek Jehovah!
祸哉，那些下埃及求帮助的；他们仗赖马匹，倚靠众多的车辆，并倚靠极其强壮的马兵，却不仰望以色列的圣者，也不求问耶和华！

But He also is wise and will bring ill upon them; / And He does not turn back His words, / But will rise up against the house of evildoers / And against the help of the workers of iniquity.
其实耶和华也有智慧；祂必降灾祸，并不收回自己的话，却要兴起攻击那作恶之家，又攻击那帮助作孽之人的。

The Egyptians are mere men and not God, / And their horses are mere flesh and not spirit; / Thus Jehovah will stretch out His hand, / And he who helps will stumble and he who is helped will fall, / And all of them will be consumed together.
埃及人不过是人，并不是神；他们的马不过是血肉，并不是灵；耶和华一伸手，那帮助人的必绊跌，那受帮助的也必仆倒，都一同灭亡。

For Jehovah has spoken thus to me, / As the lion or the lion cub / Roars over its prey / And because of it a crowd of shepherds / Is called out, / But it is not frightened by their voice, / Nor overcome by their noise; / So Jehovah of hosts will descend / To wage war on Mount Zion and on its hill.
耶和华对我如此说：狮子和少壮狮子获食咆哮，就是喊许多牧人来攻击它，它总不因他们的声音惊惶，也不因他们的喧哗缩伏；万军之耶和华也必如此降临在锡安山及其冈陵上争战。

Like flying birds / So Jehovah of hosts will protect Jerusalem; / He will protect and deliver it; / He will pass over and rescue it.
雀鸟怎样扇翅覆雏，万军之耶和华也要照样保护耶路撒冷；祂必保护且拯救、逾越且保全。

Return to Him from whom men have deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
以色列人哪，你们要归向祂，就是你们所深深悖逆的那位。

For in that day each man will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you as a sin.
到那日，各人必将自己的银偶像和金偶像，就是你们亲手为自己所造的罪，都抛弃了。

And the Assyrian will fall by the sword not of a man, / And the sword not of man will devour him. / Thus he will flee from a sword, / And his young men will be forced into labor.
亚述人必倒在刀下，并非人的刀；有刀要将他吞灭，并非人的刀。他必逃避刀剑，他的少年人必成为服苦役的。

And his rock will pass away in terror, / And his princes will be dismayed by the standard, / Declares Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion / And whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
他的磐石必因惊吓挪去，他的首领必因旌旗惊惶；这是那有火在锡安、有炉在耶路撒冷的耶和华说的。
