< Isaiah 7 >

1 And it happened in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, the king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, ascended to Jerusalem to battle against it. But they were not able to defeat it.
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2 And they reported to the house of David, saying: “Syria has withdrawn to Ephraim.” And his heart was shaken, with the heart of his people, just as the trees of the forest are moved by the face of 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 And the Lord said to Isaiah: Go out to meet Ahaz, you and your son, Jashub, who was left behind, to the end of the aqueduct, at the upper pool, on the road to the fuller’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 you shall say to him: “See to it that you are silent. Do not be afraid. And have no dread in your heart over the two tails of these firebrands, nearly extinguished, which are the wrath of the fury of Rezin, king of Syria, 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 Syria has undertaken a plan against you, with the evil of Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying:
Sooriyaan, Efreemii fi ilmi Remaaliyaa akkana jedhanii badiisa keetiif mariʼataniiru;
6 “Let us ascend to Judah, and stir it up, and tear it away for ourselves, and appoint the son of Tabeel as a king in its midst.”
“Kottaa Yihuudaatti duullaa; kottaa ishee kukkunnee gargar qooddannaa; ilma Xaabiʼeelis ishee irratti moosifannaa.”
7 Thus says the Lord God: This shall not stand, and this shall not be.
Taʼus Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Wanni kun hin raawwatu; wanni kun hin taʼu;
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years from now, Ephraim will cease to be a people.
mataan Sooriyaa Damaasqoodhaatii; mataan Damaasqoo immoo Reziinii dha. Waggaa jaatamii shan keessatti, Efreem ni bittinnaaʼa; saba tokko taʼuun isaas ni hafa.
9 For the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you will not continue.
Mataan Efreem Samaariyaa dha; mataan Samaariyaa immoo ilma Remaaliyaa ti. Isin yoo amantii keessaniin jabaattanii dhaabachuu baattan; yoom iyyuu hin dhaabattan.’”
10 And the Lord spoke further to Ahaz, saying:
Waaqayyo amma illee akkana jedhee Aahaazitti dubbate;
11 Ask for a sign for yourself from the Lord your God, from the depths below, even to the heights above. (Sheol h7585)
“Qilee akka malee gad fagoo keessatti yookaan samii akka malee ol fagoo keessatti, Waaqayyoon Waaqa kee mallattoo gaafadhu.” (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz said, “I will not ask, for I will not tempt the Lord.”
Aahaaz garuu, “Ani hin gaafadhu; Waaqayyonis hin qoru” jedhe.
13 And he said: “Then listen, O house of David. Is it such a small thing for you to trouble men, that you must also trouble my God?
Isaayyaasis akkana jedhe; “Yaa mana Daawit mee dhagaʼaa! Isin obsa namaa qoruun isin hanqatee obsa Waaqa koo qortuu?
14 For this reason, the Lord himself will grant to you a sign. Behold, a virgin will conceive, and she will give birth to a son, and his name will be called Immanuel.
Kanaafuu Gooftaan mataan isaa mallattoo isiniif kenna: Kunoo durbi tokko ni ulfoofti; ilma ni deessi; Amaanuʼel jettees isa moggaafti.
15 He will eat butter and honey, so that he may know to reject evil and to choose good.
Inni yeroo waan hamaa lagatee waan gaarii filachuu beekutti itittuu fi damma nyaata.
16 But even before the boy knows to refuse evil and to choose good, the land that you detest will be abandoned by the face of her two kings.
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 lead over you, and over your people, and over the house of your father, such days as have not occurred since the days of the separation of Ephraim from Judah by the king of the Assyrians.
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 And this shall be in that day: the Lord will call for the fly, which is in the most distant parts of the rivers of Egypt, and for the swarm, which is in the land of Assur.
Bara sana keessa Waaqayyo tisiisota burqaa laga Gibxi keessa jiranii fi kanniisota biyya Asoor siiqsee waama.
19 And they will arrive, and they all will rest in the torrents of the valleys, and in the caverns of the rocks, and in every thicket, and in every opening.
Hundi isaanii dhufanii dhooqa lafaa keessa, holqa kattaa keessa, daggala qoraattiitii fi boolla bishaanii hunda keessa qubatu.
20 In that day, the Lord will shave with a razor the ones hired by those who are across the river, by the king of the Assyrians, from the head to the hairs of the feet, with the entire beard.
Bara sana keessa Gooftaan haaduu laga gamaa kireeffateen jechuunis mootiin Asoor rifeensa mataa keessanii rifeensa miilla keessaniitii fi areeda keessan ni haada.
21 And this shall be in that day: a man will raise a cow among oxen, and two sheep,
Bara sana keessa namni tokko goromsa tokkoo fi hoolaa lama qabaata.
22 and, instead of an abundance of milk, he will eat butter. For all who are left behind in the midst of the land will eat butter and honey.
Sababii baayʼina aannan isaan kennaniif, inni itittuu sooratu qabaata. Namni biyya sanatti hafu hundinuu itittuu fi damma nyaata.
23 And this shall be in that day: every place, where there were a thousand grapevines worth a thousand pieces of silver, will become thorns and briers.
Bara sana keessa, lafa mukkeen wayinii kumni tokko kanneen meetii saqilii kuma baasan jiran hunda irra sokorruu fi qoraattii qofatu jiraata.
24 They will enter such places with arrows and bows. For briers and thorns will be throughout the entire land.
Sababii lafti sun sokorruu fi qoraattiin guutameef, namoonni iddaa fi xiyya qabatan iyyuu achi dhaqu.
25 But as for all the mountains, which will be dug with a hoe, the terror of thorns and briers will not approach those places. And there will be pasture land for oxen, and a range for cattle.”
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.
