Isaiah 7

1 Judah manghai Uzziah koca Jotham capa Ahaz tue a pha vaengah Aram manghai Rezin neh Israel manghai Remaliah capa Pekah loh Jerusalem te caemtloek ham a caeh thil rhoi. Tedae a vathoh thil te coeng thai pawh.

Now it came about in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Aram, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but were not able to overcome it.

2 Aram taengla Ephraim khoem uh a ti te David imkhui la a puen pah. Te dongah a thinko neh a pilnam thinko tah khohli loh duup thing a hlinghloek bangla a hlinghloek pah.

And word came to the family of David that Aram had put up its tents in Ephraim. And the king's heart, and the hearts of his people, were moved, like the trees of the wood shaking in the wind.

3 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Isaiah taengah, “Ahaz doe hamla namah cet laeh, na capa Shearjashub khaw hni suk lo long kah a so tuibuem tuilong bawt ah om lah ko,

Then the Lord said to Isaiah, Go out now, you and Shear-jashub, your son, and you will come across Ahaz at the end of the stream flowing from the higher pool, in the highway of the washerman's field;

4 anih te, “Ngaithuen lamtah duem om. Rhih boeh, na thinko khaw phoena boel saeh. Rezin, Aram neh Remaliah koca kah thintoek thinling kongah hmaipok a ngawn la bok khuu coeng.

And say to him, Take care and be quiet; have no fear, and do not let your heart be feeble, because of these two ends of smoking fire-wood, because of the bitter wrath of Rezin and Aram, and of the son of Remaliah.

5 Aram loh Ephraim neh Remaliah koca kah boethae neh nang ng'uen tih,

Because Aram has made evil designs against you, saying,

6 Judah la cet uh sih lamtah poelyoe uh sih. Te te mamih ham tael uh thae sih lamtah a khui kah manghai ham te Tabeel koca te manghai sak uh sih,” a ti.

Let us go up against Judah, troubling her, and forcing our way into her, and let us put up a king in her, even the son of Tabeel:

7 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh, “Te te thoo hae pawt vetih cak hae mahpawh.

This is the word of the Lord God: This design will not come about or be effected.

8 Aram kah a lu Damasku, Damasku kah a lu te Rezin. Pilnam khui lamloh Ephraim tah kum sawmrhuk kum nga khuiah a rhihyawp sak ni.

For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin (and in sixty-five years from now Ephraim will be broken, and will no longer be a people):

9 Ephraim kah a lu Samaria, Samaria kah a lu Remaliah capa, na tangnah pawt atah koep na tangnah voel mahpawh tinah,” a ti.

And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not have faith, your kingdom will be broken.

10 BOEIPA loh Ahaz a voek te koep a rhaep tih,

And Isaiah said again to Ahaz,

11 BOEIPA na Pathen taeng lamkah miknoek te saelkhui bangla dung tih a so la sang cakhaw namah ham bih lah,” a ti. (Sheol h7585)

Make a request to the Lord your God for a sign, a sign in the deep places of the underworld, or in the high heavens. (Sheol h7585)

12 Tedae Ahaz loh, “Ka bih mahpawh, BOEIPA te ka noemcai mai mahpawh,” a ti.

But Ahaz said, I will not put the Lord to the test by making such a request.

13 Te vaengah, “David imkhui loh hnatun laeh, hlang na ngae te na yakvawt tih a?, ka Pathen te khaw na ngae uh eh.

And he said, Give ear now, O family of David: is it not enough that you are driving men to disgust? will you do the same to my God?

14 Te dongah Boeipa amah long ni nangmih taengah miknoek m'paek eh?, hula ke vawn vetih ca a sak ni. Te vaengah a ming te Immanu-El a sui ni.

For this cause the Lord himself will give you a sign; a young woman is now with child, and she will give birth to a son, and she will give him the name Immanuel.

15 Boethae te hnawt ham neh a then te tuek ham a ming duela suknaeng neh khoitui ni a caak eh.

Butter and honey will be his food, when he is old enough to make a decision between evil and good.

16 Tedae camoe loh a thae te hnawt ham neh a then te tuek ham a ming hlanah a manghai rhoi kongah a mueipuel vetih na khohmuen te a hnoo ni.

For before the child is old enough to make a decision between evil and good, the land whose two kings you are now fearing will have become waste.

17 Ephraim te Judah taeng lamloh Assyria manghai taengla a nong hnin vaeng lamkah aka om noek pawt khaw, tekah khohnin ah tah BOEIPA loh namah taengah, na pilnam taengah, na pa imkhui ah a om sak ni.

The Lord is about to send on you, and on your people, and on your father's house, such a time of trouble as there has not been from the days of the separating of Ephraim from Judah; even the coming of the king of Assyria.

18 Te khohnin a pha vaengah BOEIPA loh Egypt sokko hmoi kah pilyang ham khaw, Assyria khohmuen kah khoi ham te khaw kut a ving pah ni.

And it will be in that day that the Lord will make a piping sound for the fly which is in the end of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria.

19 Amih te boeih ha pawk uh vetih soklong laengsang ah, thaelpang thaelrhaep ah, tangtii boeih neh tuiko tom ah duem uh ni.

And they will come, covering all the waste valleys, and the holes of the rocks, and the thorns, and all the watering-places.

20 Te khohnin ah tah Boeipa loh tuiva rhalvangan lamkah kutloh paihat neh, Assyria manghai te a lu, a kho mul te a vok pa vetih hmuimul te khaw a khoengvoep pah ni.

In that day will the Lord take away the hair of the head and of the feet, as well as the hair of the face, with a blade got for a price from the other side of the River; even with the king of Assyria.

21 Te khohnin a pha vaengah vaito saelhung neh boiva pumnit nen ni hlang a hing eh.

And it will be in that day that a man will give food to a young cow and two sheep;

22 Suktui muep buem vetih suknaeng te a caak ni. Khohmuen lakli kah aka sueng boeih loh suknaeng neh khoitui a caak ni.

And they will give so much milk that he will be able to have butter for his food: for butter and honey will be the food of all who are still living in the land.

23 Te khohnin a pha vaengah tah hmuen takuem ah misur thawngkhat neh tangka thawngkhat aka ting khaw lota ham neh hling hamla khoeng a om pah ni.

And it will be in that day that in every place where before there were a thousand vines valued at a thousand shekels of silver, there will be nothing but blackberries and thorns.

24 Khohmuen tom ah lota neh hling loh a cun dongah thaltang neh lii nen ni a paan eh.

Men will come there with bows and arrows, because all the land will be full of blackberries and thorns.

25 Tlang tom te tuktong neh a yoe uh coeng. Lota neh hling rhihnah dongah hnap na kun voel mahpawh. Vaito kah a taelhnah ham neh tu kah a cawtkoi ham ni a om eh?,” a ti.

And they will send out the oxen and the sheep on all the hills which before were worked with the spade, ... fear of blackberries and thorns.
