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.
烏西雅的孫子、約坦的兒子、猶大王亞哈斯在位的時候，亞蘭王利汛和利瑪利的兒子、以色列王比加上來攻打耶路撒冷，卻不能攻取。
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.
有人告訴大衛家說：「亞蘭與以法蓮已經同盟。」王的心和百姓的心就都跳動，好像林中的樹被風吹動一樣。
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,
耶和華對以賽亞說：「你和你的兒子施亞雅述出去，到上池的水溝頭，在漂布地的大路上，去迎接亞哈斯，
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.
對他說：『你要謹慎安靜，不要因亞蘭王利汛和利瑪利的兒子這兩個冒煙的火把頭所發的烈怒害怕，也不要心裏膽怯。
5 Because that Aram counseled evil against you, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
因為亞蘭和以法蓮，並利瑪利的兒子，設惡謀害你，
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.
說：我們可以上去攻擊猶大，擾亂它，攻破它，在其中立他比勒的兒子為王。
7 Thus said Lord YHWH: It does not stand, nor will it be!
所以主耶和華如此說： 這所謀的必立不住， 也不得成就。
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.
原來亞蘭的首城是大馬士革； 大馬士革的首領是利汛。 （六十五年之內，以法蓮必然破壞，不再成為國民。）
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.”
以法蓮的首城是撒馬利亞； 撒馬利亞的首領是利瑪利的兒子。 你們若是不信， 定然不得立穩。』」
10 And YHWH adds to speak to Ahaz, saying,
耶和華又曉諭亞哈斯說：
11 “Ask for a sign from your God YHWH, Make the request deep, or make [it] high upwards.” (Sheol h7585)
「你向耶和華－你的上帝求一個兆頭：或求顯在深處，或求顯在高處。」 (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz says, “I do not ask nor try YHWH.”
亞哈斯說：「我不求；我不試探耶和華。」
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?
以賽亞說：「大衛家啊，你們當聽！你們使人厭煩豈算小事，還要使我的上帝厭煩嗎？
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,
因此，主自己要給你們一個兆頭，必有童女懷孕生子，給他起名叫以馬內利。
15 He eats butter and honey, When He knows to refuse evil, and to fix on good.
到他曉得棄惡擇善的時候，他必吃奶油與蜂蜜。
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.
因為在這孩子還不曉得棄惡擇善之先，你所憎惡的那二王之地必致見棄。
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.”
耶和華必使亞述王攻擊你的日子臨到你和你的百姓，並你的父家，自從以法蓮離開猶大以來，未曾有這樣的日子。
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.
「那時，耶和華要發嘶聲，使埃及江河源頭的蒼蠅和亞述地的蜂子飛來；
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.
都必飛來，落在荒涼的谷內、磐石的穴裏，和一切荊棘籬笆中，並一切的草場上。
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.
「那時，主必用大河外賃的剃頭刀，就是亞述王，剃去頭髮和腳上的毛，並要剃淨鬍鬚。
21 And it has come to pass in that day, A man keeps alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,
「那時，一個人要養活一隻母牛犢，兩隻母綿羊；
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.
因為出的奶多，他就得吃奶油，在境內所剩的人都要吃奶油與蜂蜜。
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.
「從前，凡種一千棵葡萄樹、值銀一千舍客勒的地方，到那時必長荊棘和蒺藜。
24 He comes there with arrows and with bow, Because all the land is brier and thorn.
人上那裏去，必帶弓箭，因為遍地滿了荊棘和蒺藜。
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!
所有用鋤刨挖的山地，你因怕荊棘和蒺藜，不敢上那裏去；只可成了放牛之處，為羊踐踏之地。」
