< Isaiah 7 >

1 It was during the reign of Ahaz son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, king of Aram, marched to attack Jerusalem. Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, joined in the attack, but they couldn't conquer the city.
Jotham chapa, Uzziah tupa, Ahaz chu Judah Lengpa ahi laiyin, Syria Lengpa Rezin le Israel Lengpa Remaliah chapa Pekah chu Jerusalem bulu dingin anakondoh lhonin ahi. Hinla agondan bangun thil anaumtapoi.
2 When the royal family of Judah was told, “Aram and Ephraim have an alliance,” Ahaz and his people were terrified and they shook like trees in the forest tossed about by the wind.
Hiche thudol chu Judah leng inpiah: “Eiho dou dingin Syria toh Israel akikhutjop tauve!” tiin thu ahunglhungin ahi. Hichun Judah Lengpa le amite lungsung chu huipi hatlaha thingphung kihotling bangin akithing gamtai.
3 Then the Lord told Isaiah, “Take your son Shear-jashub with you and go and meet Ahaz. He'll be at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, by the road to the laundry field.
Hichun Pakaiyin Isaiah hengah, “Nachapa Shear-jashub kipuiyin lang Leng Ahaz gakimupi ta’n. Ama chu vonsopna mun jotna lampi koma, twikul sahnungjoa longlut twilam mong lama chu anaum ding ahi.
4 Tell him, ‘Calm down and keep quiet. Don't be afraid or scared over a couple of smoldering bits of firewood, over the burning anger of Rezin and Aram, and of Remaliah's son.
Ama chu lungkhama umloudin seipeh-in. Hol kilhut-al lenglung bang jeng Syria Lengpa Rezin le Remaliah chapa Pekah chu akichatlouhel dingin seipeh-in.
5 Aram has plotted to destroy you together with Ephraim and Remaliah's son saying,
Henge, Syria Lengpa le Israel Lengpa chu nangma dou dingin ahungkon lhonin,
6 Let's go and attack Judah! We'll terrorize it and conquer it for ourselves, and make Tabeel's son its king.”
‘Judah gamsung bulu-utin amite lunglinglaovin koiyute. Chuteng Jerusalem lutnutin Tabeel chapa chu Judah lengpan gatungute,’ atiuve.
7 But this is what the Lord God says, “This plan won't materialize—it just won't happen!
Hinla hichehi Thuneipen Pakaiyin kaseipeh nahiuve: Hitia gal ahung bol gotnuhi guilhunglou ding ahi.
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. In addition, within sixty-five years Israel as a nation will be destroyed.
Ajehchu Syria hi akhopi Damascus sanga jong hatmojo ahi’n, chuleh Damascus jong alengpau Rezin sanga hatmojo ahi. Israel chu ahi kit leh, kum somguple-nga kah-a suhchimit le suhgama umding ahitai.
9 The head of Israel is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you don't trust in me, then you won't survive.”
Israel chu akhopi, Samaria sanga hatmojo ahi’n, chuleh Samaria chu alengpau Pekah, Remaliah chapa, sanga hatmojo ahikitne. Natahsanna adet kahsea nangma kadindetsah theilou ahi,” tiin gaseipehtan ati.
10 Later the Lord sent another message to Ahaz,
Chomkhat jouvin, Pakaiyin Leng Ahaz hengah thuhetsah hitihin athottai:
11 “Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether as deep as where people are buried or as high as heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
“Pakai na-Pathen chun photchen melchihna ahinpeh dingin thum'in, Ahaz. Ahahtheipen—van san geiya sang ahiloule mithikho umna geiya thuh hijongleh nadeigotnin thumna bolin,” ati. (Sheol h7585)
12 “No, I'm not going to ask,” Ahaz replied. “I refuse to put the Lord to the test.”
Hinla lengpa anompon, “Angaipoi. Keiman Pakai chu hitichun patep ponge,” ati.
13 Then Isaiah said, “Listen, royal family of Judah! Isn't it enough for you to wear people out? Do you have to wear my God out too?
Chuin Isaiah’n aseiyin, “Phaten ngaiyun nangho David leng-insungmiten! Mihem jaidojouna le thohhatjouna suhlhah jong phaset hitalouham? Pathen thohhatjouna jong suhlhah tei ding nagot nah laiyuham?
14 This is why the Lord himself is going to give you a sign. Look! The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and she will call him Immanuel.
Ahileh aphai, Pakaiyin Ama chama melchihna ahinpeh ding ahi. Veuvin! Nungah thengin nao ahinvop ding ahi! Amanu chun chapa ahinnei ding amin Immanuel (hichu ‘Pathenin eiumpiuve’ tina) asah ding ahi.
15 He will eat curds and honey until the time he knows to refuse evil and choose the good.
Hiche naosen chun ase le apha hetkhentheina neiya ahung khanlet teng tah chuleh bongnoi-ha le khoiju aneh ding ahi.
16 For before the boy knows to refuse evil and choose the good, the land of the two kings you're afraid of will be deserted.
Ijeh-inem iti leh naosen chu chutithei dinga akhanlet masanga, nakichat mama jeng lengteni gamsung chu akidalhasa khogemnung hiding ahitai.
17 The Lord will make you, your people, and the royal family experience a time unlike anything since the day Ephraim split from Judah. He will bring the king of Assyria to attack you!”
Chuteng Pakaiyin nangma chung, nanam sung, chuleh nainsungmite chunga Judah-a kon’a Israel apetdoh-a pat itih-a lhung khalou thil ahinlhunsah ding ahi. Assyria lengpa nachunga hung leng ding ahi!
18 At that time the Lord will whistle to call flies from the distant rivers of Egypt and bees from the country of Assyria.
Chuniteng chuleh Pakaiyin Egypt lhanglam le Assyria galsat gal-hangho dinga khutkoi amutging ding ahi. Amaho chun thousi le khoite banga nahin lonkhum diu ahi.
19 They will all come and descend on the steep valleys and rock crevices, on all the thorn bushes and waterholes.
Amaho chu ahonpiuva hung lenglutnuva gamphalai jouse, phaicham gam-ong, komtong, songkohom chule linglekhao lah geiya jong hung chengdim diu ahi.
20 At that time the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River, the king of Assyria, to shave you from head to toe, including your beards.
Chuniteng chuleh Pakaiyin Euphrates luigalla Assyria lengpa-a kon’a thihhem athalah-a nagam, naloulaiya ga le kehho chule namite chu a-attansohhel ding ahi.
21 At that time a someone who manages to keep a young cow and two sheep alive
Chuniteng chuleh bong lagol khat le kelngoi ahiloule kelcha ni neijou loubolmi chu avangpha hiding ahi.
22 will eat curds, because they produce so much milk—for everyone who survives in the land will eat curds and honey.
Ahijengvanga, akoijouse dinga bongnoi vang kininglhing ding ahi — ijeh-inem iti leh agamsunga chu mihem lhomcha bou umding ahitai. Amaho chu bongnoi-ha le khoijua kivah diu ahi.
23 At that time everywhere that once had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels will only have brambles and thorns.
Chuniteng chuleh tua dangka sangkhat man lengpileiho hi ling le khao lah kisohgam diu ahitai.
24 People will go hunting there with bows and arrows because the land will be covered with brambles and thorns.
Agampheng pumpi chu ling le khao lah, gamsaho lhatna le gamlengho gamlenna higam ding ahitai.
25 In fact, all the hills that were once tilled by the hoe you won't want to go to because you'll worry about the brambles and thorns there. They'll just be where cattle are let loose and where sheep roam.
Lhanggam ngalbu nem lah le pahcha anapahna hon lama koima chetalou ding ahi—ijeh-inem itileh hilam munho chu ling le khao dimtantin, bong le kelcha-kelngoiho lhatna le kivahvana mun hiding ahitai,” ati.
