以賽亞書 7
1 烏西雅的孫子、約坦的兒子、猶大王亞哈斯在位的時候，亞蘭王利汛和利瑪利的兒子、以色列王比加上來攻打耶路撒冷，卻不能攻取。
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but they were not able to fight against it.
2 有人告訴大衛家說：「亞蘭與以法蓮已經同盟。」王的心和百姓的心就都跳動，好像林中的樹被風吹動一樣。
And it was told the house of David saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. Then his heart and the heart of his people shook, as the trees of the forest are shaken with the wind.
3 耶和華對以賽亞說：「你和你的兒子施亞雅述出去，到上池的水溝頭，在漂布地的大路上，去迎接亞哈斯，
And Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, thou and thy son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field;
4 對他說：『你要謹慎安靜，不要因亞蘭王利汛和利瑪利的兒子這兩個冒煙的火把頭所發的烈怒害怕，也不要心裏膽怯。
and thou shalt say unto him, Take heed and be quiet; fear not, and let not thy heart faint before these two ends of smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 因為亞蘭和以法蓮，並利瑪利的兒子，設惡謀害你，
Inasmuch as Syria hath taken evil counsel against thee, Ephraim [also] and the son of Remaliah, saying,
6 說：我們可以上去攻擊猶大，擾亂它，攻破它，在其中立他比勒的兒子為王。
Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, and make a breach therein for us, and set up a king therein — the son of Tabeal;
7 所以主耶和華如此說： 這所謀的必立不住， 也不得成就。
thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall not stand, nor come to pass;
8 原來亞蘭的首城是大馬士革； 大馬士革的首領是利汛。 （六十五年之內，以法蓮必然破壞，不再成為國民。）
for the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years shall Ephraim be broken, so as to be no [more a] people;
9 以法蓮的首城是撒馬利亞； 撒馬利亞的首領是利瑪利的兒子。 你們若是不信， 定然不得立穩。』」
and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established.
10 耶和華又曉諭亞哈斯說：
And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God; ask for it in the deep, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
12 亞哈斯說：「我不求；我不試探耶和華。」
And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and will not tempt Jehovah.
13 以賽亞說：「大衛家啊，你們當聽！你們使人厭煩豈算小事，還要使我的上帝厭煩嗎？
And he said, Hear then, house of David: Is it a small matter for you to weary men, that ye weary also my God?
14 因此，主自己要給你們一個兆頭，必有童女懷孕生子，給他起名叫以馬內利。
Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel.
15 到他曉得棄惡擇善的時候，他必吃奶油與蜂蜜。
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
16 因為在這孩子還不曉得棄惡擇善之先，你所憎惡的那二王之地必致見棄。
For before the child knoweth to refuse the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings thou fearest shall be forsaken.
17 耶和華必使亞述王攻擊你的日子臨到你和你的百姓，並你的父家，自從以法蓮離開猶大以來，未曾有這樣的日子。
Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days which have not come since the day when Ephraim turned away from Judah — [even] the king of Assyria.
18 「那時，耶和華要發嘶聲，使埃及江河源頭的蒼蠅和亞述地的蜂子飛來；
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly which is at the extremity of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria;
19 都必飛來，落在荒涼的谷內、磐石的穴裏，和一切荊棘籬笆中，並一切的草場上。
and they shall come and settle all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorn-bushes, and on all the pastures.
20 「那時，主必用大河外賃的剃頭刀，就是亞述王，剃去頭髮和腳上的毛，並要剃淨鬍鬚。
In that day will the Lord, with a razor which is hired beyond the river, with the king of Assyria, shave the head and the hair of the feet, yea, the beard also will it take away.
21 「那時，一個人要養活一隻母牛犢，兩隻母綿羊；
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep,
22 因為出的奶多，他就得吃奶油，在境內所剩的人都要吃奶油與蜂蜜。
and it shall come to pass, from the abundance of milk they shall give, [that] he shall eat butter; for every one that remaineth in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey.
23 「從前，凡種一千棵葡萄樹、值銀一千舍客勒的地方，到那時必長荊棘和蒺藜。
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver pieces, shall become briars and thorns:
24 人上那裏去，必帶弓箭，因為遍地滿了荊棘和蒺藜。
with arrows and with the bow shall they come thither, for the whole land shall become briars and thorns.
25 所有用鋤刨挖的山地，你因怕荊棘和蒺藜，不敢上那裏去；只可成了放牛之處，為羊踐踏之地。」
And all mountains that have been dug up with the hoe — thither will they not come, from fear of briars and thorns; and they shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of small cattle.
