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.
In the time of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up against Jerusalem to besiege it; but he could not prevail against 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 when it was told the house of David, that the Syrians had encamped in Ephraim, his heart was moved, and the hearts of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved with 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 said Jehovah to Isaiah, Go forth to meet Ahaz, thou and Shear-Jashub thy son, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, in the way to the fuller'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 heed, and be quiet! Fear not, neither let thy heart he faint On account of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, On account of the fierce wrath of Rezin with the Syrians, and of the son of Remaliah,
5 Aram loh Ephraim neh Remaliah koca kah boethae neh nang ng'uen tih,
Because Syria deviseth evil against thee, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, 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, and besiege the city, And take it, And set a king in the midst of it, Even the son of Tabeal.”
7 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh, “Te te thoo hae pawt vetih cak hae mahpawh.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: “It shall not stand, neither shall it be;
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.
But the head of Syria shall still be Damascus, And the head of Damascus, Rezin; [[And within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that he be no more 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 shall still be Samaria, And the head of Samaria, the son of Remaliah. If ye will not believe, neither shall ye thrive.”
10 BOEIPA loh Ahaz a voek te koep a rhaep tih,
Jehovah spake also 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)
“Ask thee a sign of Jehovah, thy God; Ask it from below, or in the height above!” (Sheol h7585)
12 Tedae Ahaz loh, “Ka bih mahpawh, BOEIPA te ka noemcai mai mahpawh,” a ti.
And Ahaz said, I will not ask; I will not tempt Jehovah!
13 Te vaengah, “David imkhui loh hnatun laeh, hlang na ngae te na yakvawt tih a?, ka Pathen te khaw na ngae uh eh.
Then he said, Hear ye now, O house of David! Is it too small a thing for you to weary men, That ye should weary my God also?
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.
Therefore shall Jehovah himself give you a sign: Behold, the damsel shall conceive, and bear a son, And she shall call his name Immanuel.
15 Boethae te hnawt ham neh a then te tuek ham a ming duela suknaeng neh khoitui ni a caak eh.
Milk and honey shall he eat, Until he learn to refuse the evil, and choose the 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 this child shall have learned to refuse the evil and choose the good, The land shall become desolate, On account of whose two kings thou art in terror.
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.
Yet Jehovah shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, Days such as have not been Since Ephraim revolted from Judah. [[Even 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 shall come to pass in that day That Jehovah shall whistle for the fly that is at the end of the streams of Egypt, And the bee that 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 shall come, and light all of them In the desolate valleys, and fissures of the rocks, And upon all hedges, and upon all pastures.
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 shall Jehovah shave, with a razor hired beyond the river, [[with the king of Assyria, ]] The head, and the hair of the feet; Yea, even the beard shall he take away.
21 Te khohnin a pha vaengah vaito saelhung neh boiva pumnit nen ni hlang a hing eh.
And it shall come to pass in that day, That a man shall keep 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 for the abundance of milk which they produce, shall he eat cheese; For milk and honey shall all eat Who are left 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 shall come to pass in that day, That every place where stood a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels of silver, Shall be covered with briers and thorns.
24 Khohmuen tom ah lota neh hling loh a cun dongah thaltang neh lii nen ni a paan eh.
With arrows and with bows shall men go thither; For all the land shall become briers 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.
All the hills that were digged with the mattock Shall no one approach through fear of briers and thorns; They shall be for the pasturage of oxen, And the trampling of sheep.
