< Isaiah 7 >

1 And it comes to pass in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, have gone up to Jerusalem, to battle against it, and he is not able to fight against it.
Judah siangpahrang Uzziah capa Jotham, a capa Ahaz siangpahrang se navah, Siria siangpahrang Rezin hoi Isarel siangpahrang Remaliah capa Pekah tinaw teh Jerusalem tuk hanlah a kamthaw awh. Hateiteh, kangcoung hoeh.
2 And it is declared to the house of David, saying, “Aram has been led toward Ephraim,” and his heart and the heart of his people is moved, like the moving of trees of a forest by the presence of wind.
Siria ram ni Ephraim ram hah a kâuep tie hah Devit imthung ni a thai navah, kahrawngum vah thingkungnaw teh kahlî ni a kâhuet sak e patetlah siangpahrang e lung hoi khocanaw e lung hai thouk a kâhuet.
3 And YHWH says to Isaiah, “Now go forth to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-Jashub, to the end of the conduit of the upper pool, to the highway of the fuller’s field,
Hat toteh, BAWIPA ni Isaiah koe lawk a dei pouh e teh, nang hoi na capa Shear-Jashub hoi rei cet roi nateh, kapâsukung e laikawk teng ceinae lam, atunglae tuikhu teng vah, Ahaz siangpahrang hah dawn nateh, na kâhmo toteh na dei pouh hane teh,
4 and you have said to him: Take heed, and be quiet, do not fear, And do not let your heart be timid, Because of these two tails of smoking brands, For the fierceness of the anger of Rezin and Aram, And the son of Remaliah.
Kâhruetcuet nateh, lawkkamuem lah awmh. Taket hanh. Hmai sungsung ka khu e hete thingtu kahni touh tie Siria siangpahrang Rezin hoi Remaliah capa tinaw teh a lung puenghoi ka khuek nakunghai, na lungpuen hanh.
5 Because that Aram counseled evil against you, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
Siria ram, Ephraim ram, Remaliah capanaw ni, maimouh ni Judah ram lah cei awh vaiteh, peng kayei awh sei,
6 We go up into Judah, and we distress it, And we divide it to ourselves, And we cause a king to reign in its midst—The son of Tabeal.
ram lungui vah Tabeel capa hah siangpahrang lah tat awh sei, telah nange a vang lah kahawihoehe pouknae hoi a kâcai awh
7 Thus said Lord YHWH: It does not stand, nor will it be!
Hatei, Bawipa Jehovah ni, hottelah kangcoung mahoeh, hottelah tho mahoeh ati.
8 For the head of Aram [is] Damascus, And the head of Damascus [is] Rezin, And within sixty-five years Is Ephraim broken from [being] a people.
Siria ram e lû teh Damaskas kho, Damaskas kho e lû teh Rezin, kum 65 touh thung Ephraim teh ram lah ao hoeh nahanelah, a raphoe han.
9 And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, And the head of Samaria [is] the son of Remaliah. If you do not give credence, Surely you are not steadfast.”
Ephraim e lû teh Samaria, Samaria e lû teh Remaliah capa doeh. Na yuem awh hoehpawiteh, na kangdout katang awh mahoeh atipouh.
10 And YHWH adds to speak to Ahaz, saying,
Hahoi, BAWIPA na Cathut koe mitnoutnae hah het haw.
11 “Ask for a sign from your God YHWH, Make the request deep, or make [it] high upwards.” (Sheol h7585)
Adungnae koehai thoseh, a rasangnae hmuen koehai thoseh, kâhet haw telah BAWIPA Cathut ni Ahaz koe atipouh. (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz says, “I do not ask nor try YHWH.”
Hatei, Ahaz ni ka kâhet mahoeh. BAWIPA hai ka tanouk mahoeh atipouh.
13 And he says, “Now hear, O house of David, Is it a little thing for you to weary men, That you also weary my God?
Hat toteh, Isaiah ni Oe Devit imthungnaw, thai awh haw. Nangmouh ni tami na hnueai sak dueng laipalah, kai ni ka bawk e Cathut hai na hnueai sak awh han namaw.
14 Therefore the Lord Himself gives a sign to you, Behold, the virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a Son, And has called His Name Immanuel,
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ma ni nangmanaw hah mitnout na poe awh han. Khenhaw! Tanglakacuem buet touh ni capa vawn vaiteh, ca tongpa a khe han. Hote capa hah Immanuel telah a min phung han.
15 He eats butter and honey, When He knows to refuse evil, and to fix on good.
Ahni ni, kahawihoehe hah a takhoe teh, kahawi e hah a rawi thai totouh, sanutui pakak e hoi khoitui hah a ca han.
16 For before the youth knows To refuse evil, and to fix on good, The land you are distressed with is forsaken, because of her two kings.
Hote camo ni, kahawihoehe a takhoe teh kahawi e a rawi thai hoehnahlan nang ni na taki e siangpahrang kahni touh ni, a uknaeram teh pahnawt e ram lah ao han.
17 YHWH brings on you, and on your people, And on the house of your father, Days that have not come, Even from the day of the turning aside of Ephraim from Judah, By the king of Asshur.”
Ephraim ni Judah koehoi a tâco takhai hnin hoiyah, kaawm boihoeh e hnin hah nange lathueng hai thoseh, na imthungnaw lathueng hai thoseh, BAWIPA ni a Assiria siangpahrang a tho khai han.
18 And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH hisses for a fly that [is] in the extremity of the brooks of Egypt, And for a bee that [is] in the land of Asshur.
Hote hnin navah, Izip sawkcanaw dawk e bitseinaw hai thoseh, Assiria ram e khoinaw hai thoseh, BAWIPA ni a hroecoe han.
19 And they have come, and all of them rested in the desolate valleys, And in holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, And on all the commendable things.
Hotnaw tho awh vaiteh, tami kingdinae koe ravonaw, lungha lungngoumnaw, buruknaw, saring ni canei e ramnaw pueng dawk king akawi awh han.
20 In that day the Lord shaves, By a razor that is hired beyond the river, By the king of Asshur, The head, and the hair of the feet, Indeed, it also consumes the beard.
Hat hnin vah, palangpui namran lah kaawm e hlai e Assiria siangpahrang pataca hoi, na sam hoi na khokmuen hah BAWIPA ni na ngaw pouh han. Na pâkhamuen hai na ngaw pouh han.
21 And it has come to pass in that day, A man keeps alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,
Hat hnin vah, tami buet touh ni maito buet touh, tu kahni touh paca pawiteh,
22 And it has come to pass, He eats butter from the abundance of the yielding of milk, For everyone who is left in the heart of the land eats butter and honey.
sanutui buem pouh vaiteh, sanutui pakak e a ca han. Ram dawk ka cawi rae pueng ni sanutui pakak e hoi khoitui a ca awh han.
23 And it has come to pass in that day, Every place where there are one thousand vines, At one thousand pieces of silver, Is for briers and for thorns.
Hatnavah, misurkung 1,000 touh ka tawn niteh, tangka 1,000 touh ka phu e misur takha pueng haiyah, pâkhing hoi akawi han.
24 He comes there with arrows and with bow, Because all the land is brier and thorn.
Licung hoi pala patuem awh vaiteh, hete hmuen koe a cei awh han. Talaivan pueng pâkhing hoi akawi han.
25 And all the hills that are kept in order with a mattock, There does not come [for] fear of brier and thorn, And it has been for the sending forth of ox, And for the treading of sheep!
Tokso hoi tai teh vu e law pueng hai, pâkhing kecu apinihai a cei ngai hoeh dawkvah, maito pânae, tunaw ni coungroenae lah ao han.
