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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Because Syria hath taken counsel against thee, unto the evil of Ephraim and the son of Romelia, saying:
Siria, Efraim kple Remalia ƒe vi woɖo nugbe ɖe wò gbegblẽ ŋu be,
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.
“Mina míadze Yuda dzi; mina míavuvui, míamae ɖe mía ɖokuiwo dome, eye míatsɔ Tabel ƒe vi aɖo fiae ɖe enu.”
7 Thus saith the Lord God: It shall not stand, and this shall not be.
Gake ale Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “‘Madze edzi o, mava eme o,
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:
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 Samaria and the head of Samaria the son of Romelia. If you will not believe, you shall not continue.
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 spoke again to Achaz, saying:
Yehowa gaƒo nu na Ahaz be,
11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God either unto the depth of hell, or unto the height above. (Sheol h7585)
“Bia dzesi Yehowa, wò Mawu la. Eɖanye gogloƒe ke loo alo kɔkɔƒe ke o.” (Sheol h7585)
12 And Achaz said: I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord.
Ke Ahaz ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nyemabia o; nyemado Yehowa akpɔ o.”
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?
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, and bear a son, and his name shall be called 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 He shall eat butter and honey, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to 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 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.
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 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.
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 fly, that is in the uttermost parts of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa alia aku ayɔ nudzodzoewo tso Egipte tɔʋuwo ƒe mlɔewo nu ke kple anyiwo tso Asirianyigba dzi
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.
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 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.
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 nourish a young cow, and two sheep.
Gbe ma gbe la, nyivi ɖeka kple gbɔ̃ eve pɛ koe atsi ame ɖeka si.
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.
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, that every place where there were a thousand vines, at a thousand pieces of silver, shall become thorns and briers.
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 With arrows and with bows they shall go in thither: for briars and thorns shall be in all the land.
Ŋutsuwo ayi afi ma kple da kple dati, elabena ŋu kple aŋɔkawo koe axɔ anyigba la dzi.
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.
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.
