以赛亚书 7
1 乌西雅的孙子、约坦的儿子、犹大王亚哈斯在位的时候，亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子、以色列王比加上来攻打耶路撒冷，却不能攻取。
In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 有人告诉大卫家说：“亚兰与以法莲已经同盟。”王的心和百姓的心就都跳动，好像林中的树被风吹动一样。
David’s house was told, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.
3 耶和华对以赛亚说：“你和你的儿子施亚雅述出去，到上池的水沟头，在漂布地的大路上，去迎接亚哈斯，
Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.
4 对他说：‘你要谨慎安静，不要因亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子这两个冒烟的火把头所发的烈怒害怕，也不要心里胆怯。
Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 因为亚兰和以法莲，并利玛利的儿子，设恶谋害你，
Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,
6 说：我们可以上去攻击犹大，扰乱它，攻破它，在其中立他比勒的儿子为王。
“Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.”
7 所以主耶和华如此说： 这所谋的必立不住， 也不得成就。
This is what the Lord GOD says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
8 原来亚兰的首城是大马士革； 大马士革的首领是利汛。 （六十五年之内，以法莲必然破坏，不再成为国民。）
For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people.
9 以法莲的首城是撒马利亚； 撒马利亚的首领是利玛利的儿子。 你们若是不信， 定然不得立稳。’”
The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”
10 耶和华又晓谕亚哈斯说：
The LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
“Ask a sign of the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.” (Sheol h7585)
12 亚哈斯说：“我不求；我不试探耶和华。”
But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt the LORD.”
13 以赛亚说：“大卫家啊，你们当听！你们使人厌烦岂算小事，还要使我的 神厌烦吗？
He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?
14 因此，主自己要给你们一个兆头，必有童女怀孕生子，给他起名叫以马内利。
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15 到他晓得弃恶择善的时候，他必吃奶油与蜂蜜。
He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
16 因为在这孩子还不晓得弃恶择善之先，你所憎恶的那二王之地必致见弃。
For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
17 耶和华必使亚述王攻击你的日子临到你和你的百姓，并你的父家，自从以法莲离开犹大以来，未曾有这样的日子。
The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria.
18 “那时，耶和华要发嘶声，使埃及江河源头的苍蝇和亚述地的蜂子飞来；
It will happen in that day that the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 都必飞来，落在荒凉的谷内、磐石的穴里，和一切荆棘篱笆中，并一切的草场上。
They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.
20 “那时，主必用大河外赁的剃头刀，就是亚述王，剃去头发和脚上的毛，并要剃净胡须。
In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.
21 “那时，一个人要养活一只母牛犊，两只母绵羊；
It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.
22 因为出的奶多，他就得吃奶油，在境内所剩的人都要吃奶油与蜂蜜。
It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter, for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within the land.
23 “从前，凡种一千棵葡萄树、值银一千舍客勒的地方，到那时必长荆棘和蒺藜。
It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, will be for briers and thorns.
24 人上那里去，必带弓箭，因为遍地满了荆棘和蒺藜。
People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
25 所有用锄刨挖的山地，你因怕荆棘和蒺藜，不敢上那里去；只可成了放牛之处，为羊践踏之地。”
All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending out of oxen, and for sheep to tread on.”
