Isaiah 7
1 Now in the days that Ahaz son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, Rezin king of Aram marched up to wage war against Jerusalem. He was accompanied by Pekah son of Remaliah the king of Israel, but he could not overpower the city.
Alò, li te vin rive nan jou Achaz yo, fis a Jotham la, fis a Ozias la, wa Juda a, ke Retsin, wa Syrie a ak Pékach, fis a Remalia a, wa Israël la, te monte vè Jérusalem pou fè lagè kont li, men yo pa t ka genyen l.
2 When it was reported to the house of David that Aram was in league with Ephraim, the hearts of Ahaz and his people trembled like trees in the forest shaken by the wind.
Lè rapò a te rive kote lakay David e te di: “Siryen yo te fè kan Éphraïm”, ke Achaz ak kè pèp li te vin ajite tankou bwa forè k ap souke nan van.
3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-jashub to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct that feeds the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field,
Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Ésaïe: “Sòti la koulye a pou rankontre Achaz, ou menm ak fis ou, Schear-Jaschub, nan pwent kanal la premye ma dlo sou gran chemen ki mennen kote chan Foulon an.
4 and say to him: Calm down and be quiet. Do not be afraid or disheartened over these two smoldering stubs of firewood—over the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.
Epi di li: ‘Fè atansyon e rete kalm. Pa pè e pa dekouraje akoz grenn chouk sann cho sa yo k ap fè lafimen akoz de gwo kòlè Retsin ak Syrie, ak fis Remalia a.
5 For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
Paske Syrie, Éphraïm ak fis a Remalia yo, te fè plan mechanste kont ou e te di:
6 ‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
Annou monte kont Juda, teworize l, fè pou nou yon brèch nan miray li yo, e fè fis Tabeel la vin wa nan mitan li.”
7 But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Sa p ap kanpe, ni sa p ap pase.”
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be shattered as a people.
Paske tèt Syrie a se Damas, tèt Damas se Retsin (e nan yon lòt swasann-senk ane, Éphraïm va kraze nèt jiskaske li pa menm yon pèp ankò),
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you do not stand firm in your faith, then you will not stand at all.’”
Epi tèt a Éphraïm se Samarie, tèt a Samarie se fis a Remalia a. Si ou pa kwè, anverite, ou p ap etabli.’”
10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,
SENYÈ a te pale ankò ak Achaz. Li te di:
11 “Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
“Mande yon sign pou ou menm soti nan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a; fè l nan fon a, tankou Sejou mò yo, oswa nan wotè tankou rive nan syèl la.” (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
Men Achaz te di: “Mwen p ap mande, ni mwen p ap pase SENYÈ a a leprèv!”
13 Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God as well?
Epi li te di: “Koute koulye a, O lakay David! Èske se yon bagay ki twò piti pou nou menm pou tante pasyans a lezòm, ke nou va tante pasyans a Bondye mwen an tou?
14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a, Li menm, va bay nou yon sign: Gade byen, yon vyèj va vin ansent. Li va fè yon fis e li va rele non Li Emmanuel.
15 By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
Li va manje bòl lèt kaye ak siwo myèl nan lè Li gen konesans ase pou refize mal e chwazi sa ki bon.
16 For before the boy knows enough to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.
Paske avan jenn gason a va gen ase konesans pou refize mal e chwazi sa ki bon, peyi a de wa ke nou krent yo va abandone nèt.
17 The LORD will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since the day Ephraim separated from Judah—He will bring the king of Assyria.”
SENYÈ a va mennen fè rive sou nou, sou pèp nou an ak sou lakay papa nou, jou konsi ki pa t janm gen parèy depi jou ke Éphraïm te separe ak Juda a—Wa Assyrie a.
18 On that day the LORD will whistle to the flies at the farthest streams of the Nile and to the bees in the land of Assyria.
Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va soufle mouch ki nan kote pi lwen nan rivyè Égypte yo ak foul myèl ki rete Assyrie yo.
19 And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
Yo tout va vini fè anplasman sou ravin apik yo, sou ti pla falèz yo, kloti bwa pikan yo ak sou tout sous patiraj bèt yo.
20 On that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates —the king of Assyria—to shave your head and the hair of your legs, and to remove your beard as well.
Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va raze ak yon razwa, ki lwe soti nan rejyon lòtbò rivyè Euphrate la. Se wa Assyrie la menm. L ap manje tout jis nan tèt ak plim sou pye, pou l rive fin manje jis nan bab la.
21 On that day a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
Alò, nan jou sa a, yon nonm ka fè viv yon sèl grenn gazèl bèf ak yon pè mouton.
22 and from the abundance of milk they give, he will eat curds; for all who remain in the land will eat curds and honey.
Men akoz gwo kantite lèt ki pwodwi, li va bwè bòl lèt kaye a, paske tout moun ki rete nan peyi a va bwè bòl lèt ak siwo myèl la.
23 And on that day, in every place that had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels of silver, only briers and thorns will be found.
Konsa, li va rive nan jou sa a, ke tout kote ki te konn genyen mil pye rezen, ki te gen valè a mil sik ajan, va vin tounen raje ak pikan.
24 Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
Moun va vini la ak banza ak flèch yo akoz tout tè a va vin fè raje ak pikan.
25 For fear of the briers and thorns, you will no longer traverse the hills once tilled by the hoe; they will become places for oxen to graze and sheep to trample.
Tout kolin ki te konn kiltive ak wou yo, nou p ap prale la akoz nou pè raje ak pikan. Li va devni yon kote pou pye bèf ak mouton pou yo foule l nèt.”
