Esias 7
1 And it came to pass in the days of Achaz [the son] of Joatham, the son of Ozias, king of Juda, there came up Rasim king of Aram, and Phakee son of Romelias, king of Israel, against Jerusalem to war against it, but they could not take it.
Le Yuda fia, Ahaz, Uzia ƒe vi, Yotam ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi ŋɔli la, Siria fia Rezin kple Israel fia, Peka, Remalia ƒe vi, woho aʋa va dze Yerusalem dzi, gake womete ŋu xɔ du la o, du la gale te ko.
2 And a message was brought to the house of David, saying, Aram has conspired with Ephraim. And his soul was amazed, and the soul of his people, as in a wood a tree is moved by the wind.
Azɔ wogblɔ na David ƒe aƒe la be, Siria wɔ ɖeka kple Efraim, eya ta Ahaz kple dukɔ la katã ƒe dzi ʋuʋu abe ale si ya ʋuʋua avemetiwoe ene.
3 And the Lord said to Esaias, Go forth to meet Achaz, you, and your son Jasub who is left, to the pool of the upper way of the fuller's field.
Yehowa gblɔ na Yesaya be, “Wò kple viwò ŋutsu, Seya Yasub, mido go ne miakpe Ahaz le dzigbeta si le avɔnyala ƒe mɔdzi la ƒe nuwuƒe.
4 And you shall say to him, Take care to be quiet, and fear not, neither let your soul be disheartened because of these two smoking firebrands: for when my fierce anger is over, I will heal again.
Gblɔ nɛ be, ‘Kpɔ nyuie, lé dzi ɖe ƒo, eye mègavɔ̃ o. Dzi megaɖe le ƒo wò le dzoti takpo eve siawo, Rezin kple Siria kpakple Remalia ƒe vi ƒe dziku sesẽ la ta o.
5 And [as for] the son of Aram, and the son of Romelias, forasmuch as they have devised an evil counsel, [saying],
Siria, Efraim kple Remalia ƒe vi woɖo nugbe ɖe wò gbegblẽ ŋu be,
6 We will go up against Judea, and having conferred with them we will turn them away to our side, and we will make the son of Tabeel king of it;
“Mina míadze Yuda dzi; mina míavuvui, míamae ɖe mía ɖokuiwo dome, eye míatsɔ Tabel ƒe vi aɖo fiae ɖe enu.”
7 thus says the Lord of hosts, This counsel shall not abide, nor come to pass.
Gake ale Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “‘Madze edzi o, mava eme o,
8 But the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus, Rasim; and yet within sixty and five years the kingdom of Ephraim shall cease from [being] a people.
elabena Siria ƒe tae nye Damasko, eye Damasko ƒe tae nye Rezin. Le ƒe blaade-vɔ-atɔ̃ la me, woagbã Efraim gudugudu, ale womaganɔ te o.
9 And the head of Ephraim is Somoron, and the head of Somoron the son of Romelias: but if you believe not, neither will you at all understand.
Efraim ƒe tae nye Samaria, eye Samaria ƒe tae nye Remalia ƒe viŋutsu. Ne mienɔ te sesĩe le xɔse me o la, ekema mianɔ te hã o.’”
10 And the Lord again spoke to Achaz, saying,
Yehowa gaƒo nu na Ahaz be,
“Bia dzesi Yehowa, wò Mawu la. Eɖanye gogloƒe ke loo alo kɔkɔƒe ke o.” (Sheol h7585)
12 And Achaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.
Ke Ahaz ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nyemabia o; nyemado Yehowa akpɔ o.”
13 And he said, Hear you now, O house of David; is it a little thing for you to contend with men? and how do you contend against the Lord?
Tete Yesaya gblɔ be “Azɔ la, David ƒe aƒe, see. Ɖe mesɔ gbɔ be miado amegbetɔ ƒe dzigbɔɖi akpɔ oa? Ɖe miado nye Mawu hã ƒe dzigbɔɖi akpɔa?
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive in the womb, and shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Emmanuel.
Eya ta Aƒetɔ la ŋutɔ ana dzesi mi. Ɖetugbi si menya ŋutsu kpɔ o la afɔ fu, eye wòadzi ŋutsuvi, ana ŋkɔe be Imanuel.
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, before he knows either to prefer evil [or] choose the good.
Ano nyinotsi babla kple anyitsi va se ɖe esime wòanya ale si wòade vovototo nyui kple vɔ̃ dome,
16 For before the child shall know good or evil, he refuses evil, to choose the good; and the land shall be forsaken which you are afraid of because of the two kings.
gake hafi ɖevi la nanya ale si wòade vovototo nyui kple vɔ̃ domee la, fia eve siwo mievɔ̃na na vevie la ƒe anyigba azu gbegbe.
17 But God shall bring upon you, and upon your people, and upon the house of your father, days which have never come, from the day that Ephraim took away from Juda the king of the Assyrians.
Yehowa ana be ŋɔdzinu si tɔgbi medzɔ kpɔ tso keke esime Efraim ma ɖa tso Yuda gbɔ o la nadzɔ ɖe wò kple wò amewo kple fofowò ƒe aƒe dzi. Akplɔ Asiria fia aƒu wò.”
18 And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall hiss for the flies, which [insect] shall rule over a part of the river of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of the Assyrians.
Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa alia aku ayɔ nudzodzoewo tso Egipte tɔʋuwo ƒe mlɔewo nu ke kple anyiwo tso Asirianyigba dzi
19 And they all shall enter into the clefts of the land, and into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves, and into every ravine.
Woava adze ɖe bali globowo kple kpetowo me. Woava dze ɖe ŋuvewo kple tsiʋewo katã me.
20 In that day the Lord shall shave with the hired razor of the king of Assyria beyond the river the head, and the hairs of the feet, and will remove the beard.
Gbe ma gbe la, Aƒetɔ la atsɔ lãnu si wòɣe le tɔ la godo, Asiria fia, be wòalũ ta na mi, alũ ɖa siwo le miaƒe afɔwo ŋu, eye wòalũ ge hã na mi.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall rear a heifer, and two sheep.
Gbe ma gbe la, nyivi ɖeka kple gbɔ̃ eve pɛ koe atsi ame ɖeka si.
22 And it shall come to pass from their drinking an abundance of milk, [that] every one that is left on the land shall eat butter and honey.
Ɖe nyinotsi gbogbo si wonana ta la, ame sia ame akpɔ nyinotsi babla aɖu. Ame siwo katã susɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi la, aɖu nyinotsi kpekẽ la, eye woano anyitsi hã.
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, [for] every place where there shall be a thousand vines at a thousand shekels, they shall become barren land and thorns.
Gbe ma gbe la, afi sia afi si wainka akpe le, eye wòxɔa klosaloga akpe ɖeka la, ŋu kple aŋɔkawo koe amie ɖe teƒe ma.
24 [Men] shall enter there with arrow and bow; for all the land shall be [barren] ground and thorns.
Ŋutsuwo ayi afi ma kple da kple dati, elabena ŋu kple aŋɔkawo koe axɔ anyigba la dzi.
25 And every mountain shall be certainly ploughed: there shall no fear come there: for there shall be from [amongst] the [barren] ground and thorns that whereon cattle shall feed and oxen shall tread.
Ke hena togbɛ siwo woŋlɔna kple kodzoe tsã la, miagate ŋu ayi afi mawo o, ɖe vɔvɔ̃ na ŋu kple aŋɔkawo ta, ke woava zu nyiwo kple alẽwo nyiƒe.
