< 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, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
Uzziah capa Jotham, Jotham capa Ahaz, Judah siangpahrang ah oh naah, Syria siangpahrang Rezin hoi Israel siangpahrang Remaliah capa, Rekah loe Jerusalem tuk hanah caeh hoi tahang, toe pazawk hoi thai ai.
2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
David imthung takoh khaeah, Syria hoi Ephraim loe angbomh hoi boeh, tiah thuih pae o naah, Ahaz hoi anih kaminawk takhi mah hmuh naah kanghuenh taw thung ih thing baktiah tasoehhaih palung to tawnh o.
3 Then said the LORD to Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field;
To naah Angraeng mah Isaiah khaeah, Ahaz hoi angqum hanah, kahni pasuk kami ih lawk caehhaih loklam, tui lakhaih aluek bang tuili boenghaih ahmuen ah, na capa Shear-Jashub hoiah caeh hoih;
4 And say to him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
anih khaeah, acoehaih hoiah om duem ah; hmaikhue tacawt thingboeng hnetto ah kaom, Syria siangpahrang Rezin hoi Ramaliah capa hnik palungphuihaih to zii hmah loe, na palungthin doeh thazoksak hmah.
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against you, saying,
Syria, Ephraim hoi Ramaliah capa loe nang amrosak hanah khokhan hoi boeh, nihnik mah,
6 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the middle of it, even the son of Tabeal:
Judah hae tuh si; prae to tapraek boih si loe, amzet o si, Tabel capa to nihcae ukkung siangpahrang ah suem si, tiah a thuih o.
7 Thus says the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
Toe Angraeng Sithaw mah, To tiah om mak ai, to tiah angcoeng mak ai.
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within three score and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
Syria prae ih lu loe Damaska ni, Rezin loe Damaska ih lu ah oh pongah, saning qui taruk pangato thung, Ephraim loe acaeng kami ah om mak ai, tamit o boih tih.
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.
Ephraim ih lu loe Samaria, Samaria ih lu loe Ramaliah ih capa ah oh. Nang tang o haih ah, kacak ah nang doe o ai nahaeloe, nang doe o thai poe mak ai, tiah thuih.
10 Moreover the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Angraeng mah Ahaz khaeah lok thuih pae let,
11 Ask you a sign of the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
kathuk koek ahmuen ah maw, to ai boeh loe kasang koek ahmuen ah maw, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah angmathaih to hni ah, tiah a naa. (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
Toe Ahaz mah, Ka hnih mak ai, Angraeng to ka tanoek mak ai, tiah a naa.
13 And he said, Hear you now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?
To naah Isaiah mah, Aw David imthung takoh, vaihi tahngai oh! Nangcae loe kaminawk thazoksak khue ai ah, ka bok ih ka Sithaw doeh tha na zok o sak han vop maw? tiah a naa.
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
To pongah Angraeng angmah roe nangcae hanah angmathaih to na paek tih; Khenah, tangla cuem maeto loe zokpom tih, anih mah capa maeto sah ueloe, anih to Immanuel, tiah ahminphui tih.
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
Anih loe kasae hmuen to pahnawt moe, kahoih hmuen to qoih thai hanah, panoekhaih to tawnh tih; anih loe kamkhawk maitaw tahnutui hoi khoitui to caa tih.
16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that you abhor shall be forsaken of both her kings.
Toe to nawkta mah kasae to pahnawt moe, kahoih hmuen qoihaih to panoek ai naah, na zit ih siangpahrang hnik mah uk ih prae to pahnawt sut ah om tih.
17 The LORD shall bring on you, and on your people, and on your father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
Ephraim hoi Judah ampraekhaih ni hoi kamtong, Angraeng mah kaom vai ai hmuen to omsak tih; nang hoi nangmah ih kaminawk, nam pa imthung takohnawk to tuk hanah, Assyria siangpahrang to angzosak tih;
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
To na niah Angraeng mah, Izip prae kangthla koek vapuinawk taengah kaom taksaenawk hoi Assyria prae ih khoimiinawk to kawk tih.
19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorns, and on all bushes.
Taksaenawk hoi khoimiinawk loe angpoeng o ueloe, kami om ai ahmuen ah kaom azawn, cathaeng khaw, soekhringkungnawk hoi aqam kabuk thingnawk boih nuiah acuuk o tih.
20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
To na niah loe vapui yaeh ah kaom, Assyria siangpahrang to Angraeng mah sam aat kami ah thlai ueloe, anih mah nangcae ih sam, khokmuinawk hoi toektaboe muinawk to aat tih.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
To na niah loe kami maeto mah maitaw talaa maeto hoi tuu hnetto pacah tih;
22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
pop parai tahnutui to tacawtsak pongah, nihcae loe tahnutui kamkhawk to caa o tih; prae thung ih kanghmat kaminawk boih mah tahnutui kamkhawk hoi khoitui to caa o tih.
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand sliver coins, it shall even be for briers and thorns.
To na niah loe phoisa sangto tacawthaih ahmuen hoi misurkung sangto ohhaih ahmuen kruekah, phroh kapring hoi soekhring ni om tih boeh.
24 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
Prae thung boih ah phroh kapring hoi soekhring to koi boeh pongah, kaminawk loe kalii maw, palaa maw sin hoiah ni to ahmuen ah caeh o tih boeh.
25 And on all hills that shall be dig with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
Soekhring hoi kapring to zit o pongah, canghniah taoi hoi long takaeh moe, lawk sakhaih maesomnawk nuiah, mi doeh caeh o mak ai boeh; to ahmuen loe maitaw taenawk prathaih ahmuen hoi tuu taenawk paqaihhaih ahmuen ah ni om ving tih boeh, tiah thuih.
