Isaiah 7
1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but they were not able to fight against it.
乌西雅的孙子、约坦的儿子、犹大王亚哈斯在位的时候，亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子、以色列王比加上来攻打耶路撒冷，却不能攻取。
2 And it was told the house of David saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. Then his heart and the heart of his people shook, as the trees of the forest are shaken with the wind.
有人告诉大卫家说：“亚兰与以法莲已经同盟。”王的心和百姓的心就都跳动，好像林中的树被风吹动一样。
3 And Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, thou and thy son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field;
耶和华对以赛亚说：“你和你的儿子施亚雅述出去，到上池的水沟头，在漂布地的大路上，去迎接亚哈斯，
4 and thou shalt say unto him, Take heed and be quiet; fear not, and let not thy heart faint before these two ends of smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
对他说：‘你要谨慎安静，不要因亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子这两个冒烟的火把头所发的烈怒害怕，也不要心里胆怯。
5 Inasmuch as Syria hath taken evil counsel against thee, Ephraim [also] and the son of Remaliah, saying,
因为亚兰和以法莲，并利玛利的儿子，设恶谋害你，
6 Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, and make a breach therein for us, and set up a king therein — the son of Tabeal;
说：我们可以上去攻击犹大，扰乱它，攻破它，在其中立他比勒的儿子为王。
7 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall not stand, nor come to pass;
所以主耶和华如此说： 这所谋的必立不住， 也不得成就。
8 for the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years shall Ephraim be broken, so as to be no [more a] people;
原来亚兰的首城是大马士革； 大马士革的首领是利汛。 （六十五年之内，以法莲必然破坏，不再成为国民。）
9 and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established.
以法莲的首城是撒马利亚； 撒马利亚的首领是利玛利的儿子。 你们若是不信， 定然不得立稳。’”
10 And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
耶和华又晓谕亚哈斯说：
11 Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God; ask for it in the deep, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
“你向耶和华—你的 神求一个兆头：或求显在深处，或求显在高处。” (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and will not tempt Jehovah.
亚哈斯说：“我不求；我不试探耶和华。”
13 And he said, Hear then, house of David: Is it a small matter for you to weary men, that ye weary also my God?
以赛亚说：“大卫家啊，你们当听！你们使人厌烦岂算小事，还要使我的 神厌烦吗？
14 Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel.
因此，主自己要给你们一个兆头，必有童女怀孕生子，给他起名叫以马内利。
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
到他晓得弃恶择善的时候，他必吃奶油与蜂蜜。
16 For before the child knoweth to refuse the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings thou fearest shall be forsaken.
因为在这孩子还不晓得弃恶择善之先，你所憎恶的那二王之地必致见弃。
17 Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days which have not come since the day when Ephraim turned away from Judah — [even] the king of Assyria.
耶和华必使亚述王攻击你的日子临到你和你的百姓，并你的父家，自从以法莲离开犹大以来，未曾有这样的日子。
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly which is at the extremity of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria;
“那时，耶和华要发嘶声，使埃及江河源头的苍蝇和亚述地的蜂子飞来；
19 and they shall come and settle all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorn-bushes, and on all the pastures.
都必飞来，落在荒凉的谷内、磐石的穴里，和一切荆棘篱笆中，并一切的草场上。
20 In that day will the Lord, with a razor which is hired beyond the river, with the king of Assyria, shave the head and the hair of the feet, yea, the beard also will it take away.
“那时，主必用大河外赁的剃头刀，就是亚述王，剃去头发和脚上的毛，并要剃净胡须。
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep,
“那时，一个人要养活一只母牛犊，两只母绵羊；
22 and it shall come to pass, from the abundance of milk they shall give, [that] he shall eat butter; for every one that remaineth in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey.
因为出的奶多，他就得吃奶油，在境内所剩的人都要吃奶油与蜂蜜。
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver pieces, shall become briars and thorns:
“从前，凡种一千棵葡萄树、值银一千舍客勒的地方，到那时必长荆棘和蒺藜。
24 with arrows and with the bow shall they come thither, for the whole land shall become briars and thorns.
人上那里去，必带弓箭，因为遍地满了荆棘和蒺藜。
25 And all mountains that have been dug up with the hoe — thither will they not come, from fear of briars and thorns; and they shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of small cattle.
所有用锄刨挖的山地，你因怕荆棘和蒺藜，不敢上那里去；只可成了放牛之处，为羊践踏之地。”
