King James Version
AFR DVK
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!
Wee hulle wat afgaan na Egipte vir hulp; en steun op perde, en vertrou op strydwaens, omdat hulle baie is; en op ruiters, omdat hulle baie sterk is; maar hulle kyk nie na die Heilige van Israel nie, en soek nie die HERE nie!
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.
Tog is Hy ook wys, en sal die kwaad bring, en sal nie sy woorde terugtrek nie: maar sal teen die huis van die kwaaddoeners opstaan, en teen die hulp van dié wat ongeregtigheid werk.
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.
Nou is die Egiptenaars manne, en nie God nie; en hulle perde vlees, en nie gees nie. Wanneer die HERE sy hand uitsteek, sal beide hy wat help, val, en hy wat gehelp word, val, en hulle almal saam sal ophou.
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.
Want so het die HERE tot my gespreek, Soos die leeu en die jong leeu brul oor sy prooi, wanneer ’n menigte herders teen hom geroep word, hy sal nie bang wees vir hulle stem nie, en ook nie verneder word vanweë die geraas daarvan nie: so sal die HERE van leërskare afkom om te veg vir die berg Sion, en vir die heuwel daarvan.
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].
Soos voëls vlieënd, so sal die HERE van leërskare Jérusalem verdedig; verdedigende sal Hy ook verlos dit; en oorgaande sal Hy dit bewaar.
6
Turn ye unto [him from] whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
Keer julle om tot Hom van wie die kinders van Israel diep afgewyk het.
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.
Want in daardie dag sal elke man sy silwer afgode, en sy goue afgode, wat julle hande vir julle tot sonde gemaak het, verwerp.
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.
Dan sal die Assiriër val met die swaard, nie van ’n magtige man nie; en die swaard, nie van ’n gemeen man nie, sal hom verteer: maar hy sal van die swaard vlug, en sy jongmanne sal onder belasting wees.
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.
En hy sal vanweë vrees by sy rots verbygaan, en sy vorstes sal bang wees van die banier, sê die HERE, wie se vuur in Sion is, en sy oond in Jérusalem.
