Isaya 31:1
Isaiah 31:1 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Ole wao wale washukao Misri kwa ajili ya msaada, wale wategemeao farasi, wanaoweka tumaini katika wingi wa magari yao ya vita, na katika nguvu nyingi za wapanda farasi, lakini hawamwangalii yeye Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli, wala hawatafuti msaada kwa Bwana.
Isaiah 31:1 in English
Isaiah 31:1 · Berean Standard Bible
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in their abundance of chariots and in their multitude of horsemen. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel; they do not seek the LORD.
Context
1Ole wao wale washukao Misri kwa ajili ya msaada,
wale wategemeao farasi,
wanaoweka tumaini katika wingi wa magari yao ya vita,
na katika nguvu nyingi za wapanda farasi,
lakini hawamwangalii yeye Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli,
wala hawatafuti msaada kwa Bwana. 2Hata hivyo yeye pia ana hekima na anaweza kuleta maafa,
wala hayatangui maneno yake.
Yeye atainuka dhidi ya nyumba ya mwovu,
dhidi ya wale ambao huwasaidia watenda mabaya. 3Lakini Wamisri ni wanadamu, wala si Mungu,
farasi wao ni nyama, wala si roho.
Wakati Bwana atakaponyoosha Mkono wake,
yeye anayesaidia atajikwaa,
naye anayesaidiwa ataanguka,
wote wawili wataangamia pamoja.
