< Isaiah 7 >

1 And it came to pass in the days of Achaz the son of Jotham, the son of 'Uzziyahu, the king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekach the son of Remalyahu, the king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it; but were not able to make an attack upon it.
Judah manghai Uzziah koca Jotham capa Ahaz tue a pha vaengah Aram manghai Rezin neh Israel manghai Remaliah capa Pekah loh Jerusalem te caemtloek ham a caeh thil rhoi. Tedae a vathoh thil te coeng thai pawh.
2 And it was told unto the house of David, saying, Syria is encamped with Ephraim; and his heart trembled, with the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are shaken before the wind.
Aram taengla Ephraim khoem uh a ti te David imkhui la a puen pah. Te dongah a thinko neh a pilnam thinko tah khohli loh duup thing a hlinghloek bangla a hlinghloek pah.
3 And the Lord said unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Achaz, thou with Shear-yashub thy son, to the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the washer's field;
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Isaiah taengah, “Ahaz doe hamla namah cet laeh, na capa Shearjashub khaw hni suk lo long kah a so tuibuem tuilong bawt ah om lah ko,
4 And thou shalt say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, and let thy heart not become faint because of these two stumps of smoking firebrands, before the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remalyahu.
anih te, “Ngaithuen lamtah duem om. Rhih boeh, na thinko khaw phoena boel saeh. Rezin, Aram neh Remaliah koca kah thintoek thinling kongah hmaipok a ngawn la bok khuu coeng.
5 Forasmuch as Syria, [with] Ephraim and the son of Remalyahu, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
Aram loh Ephraim neh Remaliah koca kah boethae neh nang ng'uen tih,
6 Let us go up against Judah, and besiege it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up as king in the midst of it the son of Tabeal:
Judah la cet uh sih lamtah poelyoe uh sih. Te te mamih ham tael uh thae sih lamtah a khui kah manghai ham te Tabeel koca te manghai sak uh sih,” a ti.
7 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, It shall not succeed, and it shall not come to pass.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh, “Te te thoo hae pawt vetih cak hae mahpawh.
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within sixty and five years shall Ephraim be broken, to be no more a people.
Aram kah a lu Damasku, Damasku kah a lu te Rezin. Pilnam khui lamloh Ephraim tah kum sawmrhuk kum nga khuiah a rhihyawp sak ni.
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remalyahu's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not have permanence.
Ephraim kah a lu Samaria, Samaria kah a lu Remaliah capa, na tangnah pawt atah koep na tangnah voel mahpawh tinah,” a ti.
10 And the Lord continued to speak unto Achaz, saying,
BOEIPA loh Ahaz a voek te koep a rhaep tih,
11 Ask thee a sign from the Lord thy God; ask it in the depth, or high up above. (Sheol h7585)
BOEIPA na Pathen taeng lamkah miknoek te saelkhui bangla dung tih a so la sang cakhaw namah ham bih lah,” a ti. (Sheol h7585)
12 But Achaz said, I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord.
Tedae Ahaz loh, “Ka bih mahpawh, BOEIPA te ka noemcai mai mahpawh,” a ti.
13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that ye will weary also my God?
Te vaengah, “David imkhui loh hnatun laeh, hlang na ngae te na yakvawt tih a? ka Pathen te khaw na ngae uh eh.
14 Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: behold, this young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and she shall call his name 'Immanu-el, [God with us].
Te dongah Boeipa amah long ni nangmih taengah miknoek m'paek eh, hula ke vawn vetih ca a sak ni. Te vaengah a ming te Immanuel a sui ni.
15 Cream and honey shall he eat, so soon as he knoweth to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
Boethae te hnawt ham neh a then te tuek ham a ming duela suknaeng neh khoitui ni a caak eh.
16 For before yet the child shall know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good, shall be forsaken the land, of the kings of which thou feelest dread.
Tedae camoe loh a thae te hnawt ham neh a then te tuek ham a ming hlanah a manghai rhoi kongah a mueipuel vetih na khohmuen te a hnoo ni.
17 The Lord will bring over thee, and over thy people, and over thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim withdrew from Judah, —the king of Assyria.
Ephraim te Judah taeng lamloh Assyria manghai taengla a nong hnin vaeng lamkah aka om noek pawt khaw, tekah khohnin ah tah BOEIPA loh namah taengah, na pilnam taengah, na pa imkhui ah a om sak ni.
18 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will call for the fly that is in the uttermost end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
Te khohnin a pha vaengah BOEIPA loh Egypt sokko hmoi kah pilyang ham khaw, Assyria khohmuen kah khoi ham te khaw kut a ving pah ni.
19 And they shall come, and shall encamp, all of them, in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorn-hedges, and upon all bushes.
Amih te boeih ha pawk uh vetih soklong laengsang ah, thaelpang thaelrhaep ah, tangtii boeih neh tuiko tom ah duem uh ni.
20 On the same day will the Lord shave with the razor that is hired, from among those on the other side of the river, with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and also the beard shall it entirely remove.
Te khohnin ah tah Boeipa loh tuiva rhalvangan lamkah kutloh paihat neh, Assyria manghai te a lu, a kho mul te a vok pa vetih hmuimul te khaw a khoengvoep pah ni.
21 And it shall come to pass on that day, that a man shall nourish [but] one young cow, and two sheep;
Te khohnin a pha vaengah vaito saelhung neh boiva pumnit nen ni hlang a hing eh.
22 And it shall happen, that for the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat cream; for cream and honey shall eat every one that is left in the midst of the land.
Suktui muep buem vetih suknaeng te a caak ni. Khohmuen lakli kah aka sueng boeih loh suknaeng neh khoitui a caak ni.
23 And it shall come to pass on that day, that every place, where there are [now] a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, shall be, —yea, this shall be [given up] to briers and thorns.
Te khohnin a pha vaengah tah hmuen takuem ah misur thawngkhat neh tangka thawngkhat aka ting khaw lota ham neh hling hamla khoeng a om pah ni.
24 With arrows and with bows shall men enter thither; because all the land shall become [covered with] briers and thorns.
Khohmuen tom ah lota neh hling loh a cun dongah thaltang neh lii nen ni a paan eh.
25 And all mountains that are worked with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: and they shall serve for the pasture of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.
Tlang tom te tuktong neh a yoe uh coeng. Lota neh hling rhihnah dongah hnap na kun voel mahpawh. Vaito kah a taelhnah ham neh tu kah a cawtkoi ham ni a om eh,” a ti.
