Esias 7
1 And it came to pass in the days of Achaz [the son] of Joatham, the son of Ozias, king of Juda, there came up Rasim king of Aram, and Phakee son of Romelias, king of Israel, against Jerusalem to war against it, but they could not take 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 a message was brought to the house of David, saying, Aram has conspired with Ephraim. And his soul was amazed, and the soul of his people, as in a wood a tree is moved by 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 Esaias, Go forth to meet Achaz, you, and your son Jasub who is left, to the pool of the upper way of the fuller's field.
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 you shall say to him, Take care to be quiet, and fear not, neither let your soul be disheartened because of these two smoking firebrands: for when my fierce anger is over, I will heal again.
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 And [as for] the son of Aram, and the son of Romelias, forasmuch as they have devised an evil counsel, [saying],
因为亚兰和以法莲，并利玛利的儿子，设恶谋害你，
6 We will go up against Judea, and having conferred with them we will turn them away to our side, and we will make the son of Tabeel king of it;
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 says the Lord of hosts, This counsel shall not abide, nor come to pass.
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 Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus, Rasim; and yet within sixty and five years the kingdom of Ephraim shall cease from [being] 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 Somoron, and the head of Somoron the son of Romelias: but if you believe not, neither will you at all understand.
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 again spoke to Achaz, saying,
耶和华又晓谕亚哈斯说：
“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, neither will I tempt the Lord.
亚哈斯说：“我不求；我不试探耶和华。”
13 And he said, Hear you now, O house of David; is it a little thing for you to contend with men? and how do you contend against the Lord?
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 in the womb, and shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name 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 Butter and honey shall he eat, before he knows either to prefer evil [or] 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 shall know good or evil, he refuses evil, to choose the good; and the land shall be forsaken which you are afraid of because of the 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 But God shall bring upon you, and upon your people, and upon the house of your father, days which have never come, from the day that Ephraim took away from Juda 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 flies, which [insect] shall rule over a part of the river of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of the Assyrians.
“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 all shall enter into the clefts of the land, and into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves, and into every ravine.
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 the hired razor of the king of Assyria beyond the river the head, and the hairs of the feet, and will remove the 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 rear a heifer, and two sheep.
“那时，一个人要养活一只母牛犊，两只母绵羊；
22 And it shall come to pass from their drinking an abundance of milk, [that] every one that is left on the land shall eat butter and honey.
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, [for] every place where there shall be a thousand vines at a thousand shekels, they shall become barren land and thorns.
“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 [Men] shall enter there with arrow and bow; for all the land shall be [barren] ground and thorns.
人上那里去，必带弓箭，因为遍地满了荆棘和蒺藜。
25 And every mountain shall be certainly plowed: there shall no fear come there: for there shall be from [among] the [barren] ground and thorns that whereon cattle shall feed and oxen shall tread.
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。”
