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.
Mgbe Ehaz, nwa Jotam, nwa nwa Ụzaya bụ eze na Juda, Rezin eze Aram, na Peka eze Izrel, nwa Remalaya, busoro Jerusalem agha. Ma ha emerighị ya; obodo ahụ guzosiri ike.
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.
Ma mgbe e mesịrị, ozi ruru ụlọ Devid ntị sị, “Ndị Aram na Ifrem ejikọọla onwe ha ọnụ”; nke a mere ka ụlọeze, na obi ndị ọ na-achị maa jijiji, dịka osisi dị nʼọhịa si ama jijiji mgbe oke ifufe na-efe.
3 Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field;
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Aịzaya okwu sị ya, “Jekwuru Ehaz bụ eze. Mgbe ị na-aga, kpọrọ Shịa-Jashub nwa gị nwoke. Unu ga-ahụ Ehaz nʼakụkụ Elu elu olulu ọdọ mmiri nke dị nʼụzọ ahụ gawara nʼAla ọsụ akwa.
4 And say unto 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.
Gwa ya ka ọ ghara inye ndụ ya nsogbu, ka ọ gharakwa ịtụ egwu. Sị ya, ‘Lezie anya, nọ jụụ, echegbula onwe ya banyere icheku ọkụ abụọ ahụ na-anyụ anyụ. Atụla egwu nʼihi iwe Rezin nwa Aram, na iwe Peka nwa Remalaya.
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
E, Aram, na Ifrem, na nwa nwoke Remalaya, agbaala izu ibuso gị agha ịla gị nʼiyi. Ha ekwuola sị,
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 midst of it, [even] the son of Tabeal:
“Ka anyị wakpo Juda, ka anyị dọwaa ya ma kee ya nʼetiti onwe anyị, mee nwa Tabeel ka ọ bụrụ eze ya.”
7 Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
Ma otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘Ọ gaghị adị ire! Ọ gaghị emezukwa.
8 For the head of Syria [is] Damascus, and the head of Damascus [is] Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
Nʼihi isi obodo Aram bụ Damaskọs. Onyeisi Damaskọs bụ naanị Rezin. Ma tupu afọ iri isii na ise agafee a ga-etikpọkwa Ifrem.
9 And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, and the head of Samaria [is] Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
Isi obodo Ifrem bụ Sameria. Onyeisi Sameria bụ naanị nwa Remalaya. Ọ bụrụ na unu eguzosighị ike nʼokwukwe unu, unu agaghị eguzo ma ọlị.’”
10 Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
Ọ dịghị anya, Onyenwe anyị ziri Ehaz ozi ndị a sị,
11 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
“Jụọ m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, ka m meere gị ihe ịrịbama nke ga-egosi gị na m ga-ebibi ndị iro gị niile dịka m kwuru. Rịọọ m ihe masịrị gị, nʼebe dị elu nʼeluigwe maọbụ nʼebe kachasị omimi nʼụwa.” (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
Ma Ehaz zara sị, “Mba, agaghị arịọ, agaghị m anwakwa Onyenwe anyị m otu a.”
13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; [Is it] a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
Ma Aịzaya sịrị, “Ṅaanụ ntị unu ụlọ Devid. Ọ bụ na o zurughị unu ime ka ike gwụ mmadụ? Unu ga-emekwa ka ike gwụ Chineke nʼonwe ya?
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.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya ga-enye gị ihe ịrịbama! Lee, nwaagbọghọ ahụ na-amaghị nwoke ga-atụrụ ime, mụọ nwa nwoke. Ọ ga-akpọ aha ya Ịmanụel, nke pụtara, Chineke nọnyeere anyị.
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
Mmiri ara ehi rahụrụ arahụ na mmanụ aṅụ ka nwantakịrị ahụ ga-eri mgbe ọ matara ịjụ ihe ọjọọ na ịhọrọ ezi ihe.
16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
Tupu a zụlite nwantakịrị ahụ ịmata ịhọrọ ezi ihe na ịjụ ajọ ihe, ndị eze abụọ ndị ị na-atụ egwu ha, ga-anwụcha.
17 The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; [even] the king of Assyria.
Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ọbụbụ ọnụ dị ukwuu bịakwasị gị na obodo gị, na ezinaụlọ gị. Ihe egwu ga-adịkwa, ụdị nke a na-ahụbeghị mbụ, site nʼoge e kewapụrụ Ifrem site na Juda. Eze Asịrịa ga-edu ndị agha ya bịa.”
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.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-akpọku ijiji site na nsọtụ Naịl dị nʼIjipt nakwa aṅụ sitere nʼala Asịrịa.
19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
Ha ga-abịa nʼigwe, bichie ndagwurugwu ala gị niile, na nʼọgba nkume niile, na nʼọhịa ogwu ogwu niile, na nʼọzara niile, na nʼezi ala niile.
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.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-eji agụba e gotara nʼofe osimiri, nke bụ eze Asịrịa, kpụchapụ unu agịrị isi na ajị ụkwụ, kpụchapụkwa afụọnụ unu niile.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, otu onye ga-edebe otu nwa ehi na ewu abụọ ndụ.
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.
Onye ọbụla kwa nʼala ahụ ga-eri mmiri ara ehi rahụrụ arahụ, ya na mmanụ aṅụ, nʼihi na mmiri ara ehi ga-aba ụba nke ukwuu nʼala ahụ.
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall [even] be for briers and thorns.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ala ọbụla nke nwere otu puku osisi vaịnị nke ọnụahịa ya ruru otu puku shekel ọlaọcha ga-abụ naanị ogwu na uke.
24 With arrows and with bows shall [men] come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
Ndị dinta ga-achịrị àkụ na ùta gaa nʼebe ahụ, nʼihi na uke na ogwu ga-ekpuchi ala ahụ.
25 And [on] all hills that shall be digged 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.
Ma banyere ugwu eji ọgụ kọọ na mbụ, ị gaghị abakwa nʼebe ahụ ọzọ nʼihi egwu uke na ogwu; ha ga-abụ ebe a na-atọpụ ehi na ebe atụrụ na-agbagharị.
