< 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.
Bara Aahaaz ilmi Yootaam, ilmi Uziyaan Mootii Yihuudaa turetti, Reziin mootichi Sooriyaatii fi Pheqaan ilmi Remaaliyaa mootichi Israaʼel Yerusaalemiin loluuf itti duulan; garuu ishee moʼachuu hin dandeenye.
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.
Yeroo kanattis, “Sooriyaan Efreem wajjin tokkummaa uummatteerti” jedhanii mana Daawititti himan; kanaafuu garaan Aahaaziitii fi garaan saba isaa akkuma mukni bosonaa bubbeedhaan raafamu sana raafame.
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,
Kana irratti Waaqayyo Isaayyaasiin akkana jedhe; “Atii fi ilmi kee Sheʼar-Yaashuub dhuma jalʼisii Haroo Ol aanuu kan karaa Lafa qotiisaa namicha wayyaa miicuutti geessu sana biratti Aahaazin simachuuf gad baʼaa.
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.
Akkana jedhiin; ‘Of eeggadhu; calʼisi; hin sodaatin. Ati sababii gufuuwwan muka ibiddaa kanneen seeqaa jiran lamaan kanneeniitiif jechuunis sababii aarii Reziin kan Sooriyaatii fi aarii ilma Remaaliyaa hamaa sanaatiif jettee abdii hin kutatin.
5 For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
Sooriyaan, Efreemii fi ilmi Remaaliyaa akkana jedhanii badiisa keetiif mariʼataniiru;
6 ‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
“Kottaa Yihuudaatti duullaa; kottaa ishee kukkunnee gargar qooddannaa; ilma Xaabiʼeelis ishee irratti moosifannaa.”
7 But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
Taʼus Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Wanni kun hin raawwatu; wanni kun hin taʼu;
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.
mataan Sooriyaa Damaasqoodhaatii; mataan Damaasqoo immoo Reziinii dha. Waggaa jaatamii shan keessatti, Efreem ni bittinnaaʼa; saba tokko taʼuun isaas ni hafa.
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.’”
Mataan Efreem Samaariyaa dha; mataan Samaariyaa immoo ilma Remaaliyaa ti. Isin yoo amantii keessaniin jabaattanii dhaabachuu baattan; yoom iyyuu hin dhaabattan.’”
10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,
Waaqayyo amma illee akkana jedhee Aahaazitti dubbate;
11 “Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
“Qilee akka malee gad fagoo keessatti yookaan samii akka malee ol fagoo keessatti, Waaqayyoon Waaqa kee mallattoo gaafadhu.” (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
Aahaaz garuu, “Ani hin gaafadhu; Waaqayyonis hin qoru” jedhe.
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?
Isaayyaasis akkana jedhe; “Yaa mana Daawit mee dhagaʼaa! Isin obsa namaa qoruun isin hanqatee obsa Waaqa koo qortuu?
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.
Kanaafuu Gooftaan mataan isaa mallattoo isiniif kenna: Kunoo durbi tokko ni ulfoofti; ilma ni deessi; Amaanuʼel jettees isa moggaafti.
15 By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
Inni yeroo waan hamaa lagatee waan gaarii filachuu beekutti itittuu fi damma nyaata.
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.
Garuu utuu mucaan sun waan hamaa lagatee waan gaarii filachuu hin beekin dura biyyi mootota lamaan ati sodaatte sanaa ni ona.
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.”
Waaqayyo erga Efreem Yihuudaa irraa citee jalqabee bara takkumaa taʼee hin beekin tokko sitti, saba keettii fi mana Abbaa keetiitti ni fida; jechuunis mootii Asoor ni fida.”
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.
Bara sana keessa Waaqayyo tisiisota burqaa laga Gibxi keessa jiranii fi kanniisota biyya Asoor siiqsee waama.
19 And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
Hundi isaanii dhufanii dhooqa lafaa keessa, holqa kattaa keessa, daggala qoraattiitii fi boolla bishaanii hunda keessa qubatu.
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.
Bara sana keessa Gooftaan haaduu laga gamaa kireeffateen jechuunis mootiin Asoor rifeensa mataa keessanii rifeensa miilla keessaniitii fi areeda keessan ni haada.
21 On that day a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
Bara sana keessa namni tokko goromsa tokkoo fi hoolaa lama qabaata.
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.
Sababii baayʼina aannan isaan kennaniif, inni itittuu sooratu qabaata. Namni biyya sanatti hafu hundinuu itittuu fi damma nyaata.
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.
Bara sana keessa, lafa mukkeen wayinii kumni tokko kanneen meetii saqilii kuma baasan jiran hunda irra sokorruu fi qoraattii qofatu jiraata.
24 Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
Sababii lafti sun sokorruu fi qoraattiin guutameef, namoonni iddaa fi xiyya qabatan iyyuu achi dhaqu.
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.
Ati sababii sokorruu fi qoraattii sodaattuuf siʼachi gara gaarran kanaan dura gasoon soqamaa turan sanaa hin dhaqxu; isaan lafa loon itti bobbaʼanii fi lafa hoolonni keessa burraaqan taʼu.
