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.
Ary tamin’ ny andron’ i Ahaza, zanak’ i Jotama, zanak’ i Ozia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no niakaran-dRezina, mpanjakan’ i Syria, sy Pelza, zanak’ i Remalia, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, hanafika an’ i Jerosalema, nefa tsy nahafaka azy izy.
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.
Dia nambara tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida hoe: Injao ny Syriana efa mitoby any amin’ ny Efraima. Ary nirondrona ny fony sy ny fon’ ny vahoakany toy ny firondronan’ ny hazo any an’ ala, raha asian’ ny rivotra.
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,
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ Isaia: Mivoaha ianao sy Seara-jasoba zanakao hitsena an’ i Ahaza eo amin’ ny faran’ ny lakan-drano amin’ ny kamory ambony, eo amin’ ny lalambe mankamin’ ny sahan’ ny mpamotsy lamba,
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.
ka lazao aminy hoe: Mitandrema, ka aza taitaitra foana; Aza matahotra, ary aoka tsy ho ketraka ny fonao Noho ireto tapa-porohana roa midonaka ireto, Dia ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran-dRezina sy Syria ary ny zanak’ i Remalia.
5 For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
Satria efa nanao saina hampidi-doza aminao Syria sy Efraima ary ny zanak’ i Remalia ka nanao hoe:
6 ‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
Andeha isika hananika an’ i Joda ka hampaharaiki-tahotra azy Ary hanafaka azy ho antsika ka hanangana ny zanak’ i Tabeala ho mpanjaka ao afovoany,
7 But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
Dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Tsy ho tanteraka izany, Ary tsy hisy izany;
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.
Fa ny lohan’ i Syria dia Damaskosy, Ary ny lohan’ i Damaskosy dia Rezina (Ary ao anatin’ ny dimy amby enim-polo taona dia ho rava ny Efraima ka tsy ho vanon-ko firenena intsony),
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.’”
Ary ny lohan’ i Efraima dia Samaria, Ary ny lohan’ i Samaria dia ny zanak’ i Remalia. Raha tsy mety mino ianareo, Dia tsy ho tafatoetra.
10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,
Ary Jehovah mbola niteny tamin’ i Ahaza ihany ka nanao hoe:
11 “Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
Mangataha famantarana amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao; eny, mangataha na ho avy amin’ ny lalina ambany, na ho avy amin’ ny avo ambony. (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
Fa hoy Ahaza: Tsy hangataka aho, fa tsy haka fanahy an’ i Jehovah
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?
Dia hoy Isaia: Mihainoa ary, ny taranak’ i Davida: Ataonareo ho zavatra kely foana moa ny hanasatra ny olona, No dia hanasatra an’ Andriamanitro koa ianareo?
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.
Ary noho izany dia ny Tompo no hanome famantarana ho anareo: Indro, hanan’ anaka ny virijina ka hiteraka zazalahy, ary ny anarany hataony hoe Imanoela.
15 By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
Rehefa mahalala handà ny ratsy sy hifidy ny tsara izy, Dia rononomandry sy tantely no ho fihinany.
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.
Fa raha tsy mbola mahalala handà ny ratsy sy hifidy ny tsara izany zaza izany, Dia ho lao ny tanin’ ireo mpanjaka roa maharaiki-tahotra anao ireo.
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.”
Jehovah hahatonga aminao sy ny olonao ary ny mpianakavin-drainao Izay andro tsy mbola nisy toa azy Hatramin’ ny andro nialan’ i Efraima tamin’ ny Joda (Dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria);
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.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany Jehovah hisiaka hiantso ny lalitra, izay any amin’ ny faran’ ny onin’ i Egypta, sy ny renitantely, izay any amin’ ny tany Asyria;
19 And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
Dia ho avy ireo, ka samy hipetraka amin’ ny lohasaha lao, sy eny an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato, sy eny amin’ ny fefy tsilo rehetra, ary eny amin’ ny saha fiandrasana rehetra.
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.
Amin’ izany andro izany koa ny Tompo hanaratra ny loha sy ny volon-tongotra Amin’ ny hareza nohofana any amoron’ ny Ony (Dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria); Ary ny volom-bava hokakasana amin’ iny koa.
21 On that day a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
Ary amin’ izany andro izany Dia samy hiompy ombivavy kely sy ondry roa ny olona;
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.
Ary noho ny haben’ ny ronono azo avy amin’ ireo dia hihinana rononomandry izy; Fa rononomandry sy tantely no ho fihinan’ ny olona sisa rehetra ao amin’ ny tany.
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.
Ary amin’ Izany andro izany dia ho rakotry ny hery sy ny tsilo Ny tany rehetra izay nisy voaloboka arivo nahazo sekely arivo.
24 Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
Zana-tsipìka sy tsipìka no ho entin’ izay miditra ao, satria rakotry ny hery sy ny tsilo ny tany rehetra.
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.
Ary ny tanety rehetra izay nohevoina tamin’ ny angady dia tsy ho azonao diavina noho ny fahatahorana ny hery sy ny tsilo; Fa ho falehan’ ny omby sy ho voahitsakitsaky ny ondry aman’ osy izany.
