< 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.
Nígbà tí Ahasi ọmọ Jotamu ọmọ Ussiah jẹ́ ọba Juda, ọba Resini ti Aramu àti Peka ọmọ Remaliah ọba Israẹli gòkè wá láti bá Jerusalẹmu jà, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò sì le è borí i rẹ̀.
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.
Báyìí, a sọ fún ilé Dafidi pé, “Aramu mà ti lẹ̀dí àpò pọ̀ mọ́ Efraimu”; fún ìdí èyí, ọkàn Ahasi àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ wárìrì gẹ́gẹ́ bí igi oko ṣe ń wárìrì níwájú afẹ́fẹ́.
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,
Lẹ́yìn èyí, Olúwa sọ fún Isaiah pé, “Jáde, ìwọ àti ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin rẹ Ṣeari-Jaṣubu láti pàdé Ahasi ní ìpẹ̀kun ìṣàn omi ti adágún òkè, ní òpópó ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí pápá Alágbàfọ̀.
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.
Sọ fún un, ‘Ṣọ́ra à rẹ, fi ọkàn balẹ̀, kí o má ṣe bẹ̀rù. Má ṣe ba ọkàn jẹ́ nítorí kùkùté igi ìdáná méjèèjì yìí, nítorí ìbínú gbígbóná Resini àti Aramu àti ti ọmọ Remaliah.
5 For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
Aramu, Efraimu àti Remaliah ti dìtẹ̀ ìparun rẹ, wọ́n wí pé,
6 ‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
“Jẹ́ kí a kọlu Juda; jẹ́ kí a fà á ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ, kí a sì pín in láàrín ara wa, kí a sì fi ọmọ Tabeli jẹ ọba lórí i rẹ̀.”
7 But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
Síbẹ̀ èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Èyí kò ní wáyé èyí kò le ṣẹlẹ̀,
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.
nítorí Damasku ni orí Aramu, orí Damasku sì ni Resini. Láàrín ọdún márùnlélọ́gọ́ta Efraimu yóò ti fọ́ tí kì yóò le jẹ́ ènìyàn mọ́.
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.’”
Orí Efraimu sì ni Samaria, orí Samaria sì ni ọmọ Remaliah. Bí ẹ̀yin kí yóò bá gbàgbọ́, lóòtítọ́, a kì yóò fi ìdí yín múlẹ̀.’”
10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,
Bákan náà Olúwa tún bá Ahasi sọ̀rọ̀,
11 “Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.” (Sheol )
“Béèrè fún àmì lọ́wọ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, bóyá ní ọ̀gbun tí ó jì jùlọ tàbí àwọn òkè tí ó ga jùlọ.” (Sheol )
12 But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Ahasi sọ pé, “Èmi kì yóò béèrè; Èmi kò ní dán Olúwa wò.”
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?
Lẹ́yìn náà Isaiah sọ pé, “Gbọ́ ní ìsinsin yìí, ìwọ ilé Dafidi, kò ha tọ́ láti tán ènìyàn ní sùúrù, ìwọ yóò ha tan Ọlọ́run ní sùúrù bí?
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.
Nítorí náà, Olúwa fúnra ara rẹ̀ ni yóò fún ọ ní àmì kan. Wúńdíá kan yóò lóyún, yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, yóò sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Emmanueli.
15 By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
Òun yóò jẹ wàrà àti oyin nígbà tí ó bá ní ìmọ̀ tó láti kọ ẹ̀bi àti láti yan rere.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà tó mọ bí a ti ń kọ ẹ̀bi àti láti yan rere, ilẹ̀ àwọn ọba méjèèjì tí ń bà ọ́ lẹ́rù wọ̀nyí yóò ti di ahoro.
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.”
Olúwa yóò mú àsìkò mìíràn wá fún ọ àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ àti lórí ilé baba rẹ irú èyí tí kò sí láti ìgbà tí Efraimu ti yà kúrò ní Juda, yóò sì mú ọba Asiria wá.”
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.
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni Olúwa yóò súfèé pe àwọn eṣinṣin láti àwọn odò tó jìnnà ní Ejibiti wá, àti fún àwọn oyin láti ilẹ̀ Asiria.
19 And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
Gbogbo wọn yóò sì wá dó sí gẹ̀rẹ́gẹ̀rẹ́ òkè àti pàlàpálá òkúta, lára koríko ẹ̀gún àti gbogbo ibi ihò omi.
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.
Ní ọjọ́ náà, Olúwa yóò lo abẹ fífẹ́lẹ́ tí a yá láti ìkọjá odò Eufurate, ọba Asiria, láti fá irun orí àti ti àwọn ẹsẹ̀ ẹ yín, àti láti mú irùngbọ̀n yín kúrò pẹ̀lú.
21 On that day a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
Ní ọjọ́ náà, ọkùnrin kan yóò máa sin ọ̀dọ́ abo màlúù kan àti ewúrẹ́ méjì.
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.
Àti nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wàrà tí wọn yóò máa fún un, yóò ní wàràǹkàṣì láti jẹ. Gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá kù ní ilẹ̀ náà yóò jẹ wàràǹkàṣì àti oyin.
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.
Ní ọjọ́ náà, ni gbogbo ibi tí àjàrà tí ó tó ẹgbẹ̀rún ṣékélì fàdákà, ẹ̀gún àti ẹ̀wọ̀n nìkan ni yóò wà níbẹ̀.
24 Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
Àwọn ènìyàn yóò máa lọ síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọrun àti ọfà nítorí pé ẹ̀gún àti ẹ̀wọ̀n ni yóò bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà.
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.
Àti ní orí àwọn òkè kéékèèké tí a ti ń fi ọkọ́ ro nígbà kan rí, ẹ kò ní lọ síbẹ̀ mọ́ nítorí ìbẹ̀rù ẹ̀gún àti ẹ̀wọ̀n, wọn yóò di ibi tí a ń da màlúù lọ, àti ibi ìtẹ̀mọ́lẹ̀ fún àwọn àgùntàn kéékèèké.
