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.
Et factum est in diebus Achaz filii Ioathan, filii Oziæ regis Iuda, ascendit Rasin rex Syriæ, et Phacee filius Romeliæ rex Israel, in Ierusalem, ad præliandum contra eam: et non potuerunt debellare eam.
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.
Et nunciaverunt domui David, dicentes: Requievit Syria super Ephraim, et commotum est cor eius, et cor populi eius, sicut moventur ligna silvarum a facie venti.
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,
Et dixit Dominus ad Isaiam: Egredere in occursum Achaz tu, et qui derelictus est Iasub filius tuus, ad extremum aquæductus piscinæ superioris in via agri fullonis.
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.
Et dices ad eum: Vide ut sileas: noli timere, et cor tuum ne formidet a duabus caudis titionum fumigantium istorum in ira furoris Rasin regis Syriæ, et filii Romeliæ:
5 For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
eo quod consilium inierit contra te Syria in malum Ephraim, et filius Romeliæ, dicentes:
6 ‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
Ascendamus ad Iudam, et suscitemus eum, et avellamus eum ad nos, et ponamus regem in medio eius filium Tabeel.
7 But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non stabit, et non erit istud:
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.
sed caput Syriæ Damascus, et caput Damasci Rasin: et adhuc sexaginta et quinque anni, et desinet Ephraim esse populus:
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.’”
et caput Ephraim Samaria, et caput Samariæ filius Romeliæ. Si non credideritis, non permanebitis.
10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,
Et adiecit Dominus loqui ad Achaz, dicens:
11 “Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
Pete tibi signum a Domino Deo tuo in profundum inferni, sive in excelsum supra. (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
Et dixit Achaz: Non petam, et non tentabo Dominum.
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?
Et dixit: Audite ergo domus David: Numquid parum vobis est, molestos esse hominibus, quia molesti estis et Deo meo?
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.
Propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum. Ecce virgo concipiet, et pariet filium, et vocabitur nomen eius Emmanuel.
15 By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
Butyrum et mel comedet, ut sciat reprobare malum, et eligere bonum.
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.
Quia antequam sciat puer reprobare malum, et eligere bonum, derelinquetur terra, quam tu detestaris a facie duorum regum suorum.
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.”
Adducet Dominus super te, et super populum tuum, et super domum patris tui dies, qui non venerunt a diebus separationis Ephraim a Iuda cum rege Assyriorum.
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.
Et erit in die illa: Sibilabit Dominus muscæ, quæ est in extremo fluminum Ægypti, et api, quæ est in terra Assur,
19 And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
et venient, et requiescent omnes in torrentibus vallium, et in cavernis petrarum, et in omnibus frutetis, et in universis foraminibus.
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.
In die illa radet Dominus in novacula conducta in his, qui trans flumen sunt, in rege Assyriorum, caput et pilos pedum, et barbam universam.
21 On that day a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
Et erit in die illa: Nutriet homo vaccam boum, et duas oves,
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.
et præ ubertate lactis comedet butyrum: butyrum enim et mel manducabit omnis qui relictus fuerit in medio terræ.
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.
Et erit in die illa: Omnis locus ubi fuerint mille vites, mille argenteis, in spinas et in vepres erunt.
24 Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
Cum sagittis et arcu ingredientur illuc: vepres enim et spinæ erunt in universa terra.
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.
Et omnes montes, qui in sarculo sarrientur, non veniet illuc terror spinarum et veprium. Et erit in pascua bovis, et in conculcationem pecoris.
