Isaiah 7
1 And it came to pass in the days of Achaz the son of Joathan, the son of Ozias, king of Juda, that Basin king of Syria, and Phacee the son of Romelia king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem, to fight against it: but they could not prevail over 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 they told the house of David, saying: Syria hath rested upon Ephraim, and his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the woods are moved 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 the Lord said to Isaias: Go forth to meet Achaz, thou and Jasub thy son that is left, to the conduit of the upper pool, a in the way of the fuller’s held.
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 to him: See thou be quiet: fear not, and let not thy heart be afraid of the two tails of these fire brands, smoking with the wrath of the fury of Rasin king of Syria, and of the son of Romelia.
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 Because Syria hath taken counsel against thee, unto the evil of Ephraim and the son of Romelia, 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 to Juda, and rouse it up, and draw it away to us, and make the son of Tabeel king in the midst thereof.
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 God: It shall not stand, and this shall not be.
所以主耶和华如此说： 这所谋的必立不住， 也不得成就。
8 But the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Basin: and within threescore and five years, Ephraim shall cease to be 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 the son of Romelia. If you will not believe, you shall not continue.
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 the Lord spoke again to Achaz, saying:
耶和华又晓谕亚哈斯说：
11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God either unto the depth of hell, or unto 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 Achaz said: I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord.
亚哈斯说：“我不求；我不试探耶和华。”
13 And he said: Hear ye therefore, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to be grievous to men, that you are grievous to my God also?
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 the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel.
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 He shall eat butter and honey, 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 know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good, the land which thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of the face of her two kings.
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 The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days that have not come since the time of the separation of Ephraim from Juda with the king of the Assyrians.
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 the Lord shall hiss for the fly, that is in the uttermost parts of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that 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 shall all of them rest in the torrents of the valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all places set with shrubs, and in all hollow places.
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 the Lord shall shave with a razor that is hired by them that are beyond the river, by the king of the Assyrians, the head and the hairs of the feet, and the whole beard.
“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 for the abundance of milk he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that shall be left in the midst of the land.
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 pieces of silver, shall become thorns and briers.
“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 bows they shall go in thither: for briars and thorns shall be in all the land.
人上那里去，必带弓箭，因为遍地满了荆棘和蒺藜。
25 And as for all the hills that shall be raked with a rake, the fear of thorns and briers shall not come thither, but they shall be for the ox to feed on, and the lesser cattle to tread upon.
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。”
