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.
Lè sa a, se wa Akaz, pitit gason Jotam, pitit pitit gason Ozyas, ki t'ap gouvènen nan peyi Jida. Rezen, wa peyi Siri, ak Pekak, pitit Remalya, wa peyi Izrayèl, moute al atake lavil Jerizalèm. Men, yo pa t' ka pran l'.
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.
Yo pote nouvèl la bay wa peyi Jida a ansanm ak tout fanmi l'. Yo di l': -Lame peyi Siri a gen tan anvayi peyi Efrayim. Wa Akaz ansanm ak tout pèp la te sitèlman pè yo t'ap tranble tankou fèy bwa lè van ap soufle.
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,
Seyè a di Ezayi konsa: -Pran Chea-Jachoub, pitit gason ou lan, avè ou. Al kontre wa Akaz. W'a jwenn li sou wout ap moute bò kote yo konn lave twal ki fèk tenn yo, nan direksyon kannal ki bay dlo nan rezèvwa anwo lavil la.
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.
W'a di l' pou l' fè atansyon pou l' pa pèdi tèt li. Li pa bezwen pè. Li pa bezwen gen kè sote pou de ti bout bwa dife k'ap fè lafimen, ki vle di pou wa Rezen, moun peyi Siri a, ak pou wa Pekaz, pitit Remalya a, k'ap fè kòlè.
5 Because that Aram counseled evil against you, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
Moun peyi Siri yo ansanm ak moun Efrayim yo ak pitit Remalya a ap fè konplo sou do ou.
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.
Yo di y'ap moute atake peyi Jida a. Yo pral kraponnen moun yo, yo pral fè kèk moun nan peyi a pran pozisyon pou yo pou yo ka mete men sou peyi a. Apre sa, yo pral pran pitit gason Tableyèl la, y'ap nonmen l' wa pou gouvènen peyi a.
7 Thus said Lord YHWH: It does not stand, nor will it be!
Enben! Men sa mwen menm, Seyè ki sèl mèt la, mwen di: Sa p'ap mache! Sa p'ap pase konsa!
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.
Poukisa? Lavil Damas se kapital peyi Siri. Rezen se wa lavil Damas. Pou pèp peyi Izrayèl la menm, m' pa ba l' swasannsenkan ankò, peyi yo a ap fin kraze, yo p'ap yon nasyon ankò.
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.”
Lavil Samari se kapital peyi Izrayèl la. Pekak, pitit gason Remalya a, se wa lavil Samari. Si nou pa kenbe konfyans nou fèm nan Bondye, nou menm tou nou p'ap chape.
10 And YHWH adds to speak to Ahaz, saying,
Seyè a voye yon lòt komisyon bay wa Akaz. Li di l' konsa:
11 “Ask for a sign from your God YHWH, Make the request deep, or make [it] high upwards.” (Sheol h7585)
-Mande Seyè a, Bondye ou la, pou li ba ou yon siy. Se ka yon siy ki soti anba tè kote mò yo ye a, se ka yon siy ki soti anwo nan syèl la. (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz says, “I do not ask nor try YHWH.”
Akaz reponn: -Mwen p'ap mande Seyè a anyen. Mwen p'ap sonde l'.
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?
Lè sa a, Ezayi di konsa: -Koute non, moun fanmi David yo! Sa pa kont nou toujou? Jan nou fè moun bouke ak nou pou koulye a nou soti pou nou fè Bondye mwen an bouke ak nou tou?
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,
Enben! Se Seyè a menm ki pral ban nou yon siy. Men li: Jenn tifi ki ansent lan pral fè yon pitit gason, l'a rele l' Emannwèl (ki vle di: Bondye avèk nou).
15 He eats butter and honey, When He knows to refuse evil, and to fix on good.
Se lèt ak siwo myèl ase l'a manje jouk l'a rive laj pou l' konnen sa ki mal ak sa ki byen.
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.
Men, anvan menm ti gason an rive konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal, peyi de wa sa yo k'ap fè ou pè a ap rete konsa san pyès moun ladan yo.
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.”
Seyè a pral fè yon malè sou ou, sou pèp la ak sou tout fanmi David, granpapa ou la, yon malè ki pral pi mal pase lè moun Efrayim yo te separe ak moun Jida yo. L'ap fè wa peyi Lasiri a parèt sou nou.
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.
Lè sa a, Seyè a pral soufle pou moun peyi Lejip yo soti tankou mouch byen lwen, bò dlo larivyè Nil la. L'ap rele moun peyi Lasiri yo pou yo soti tankou lesen myèl lakay yo.
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.
Yo pral vin plen falèz yo ak tout twou wòch yo. Yo pral toupatou nan tout raje, nan tout jaden zèb.
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.
Jou sa a, Seyè a ap fè wa peyi Lasiri a soti lòt bò larivyè Lefrat. Li va tankou yon razwa. L'ap vini, l'ap koupe tout bab ou, tout cheve nan tèt ou ak tout plim sou kò ou.
21 And it has come to pass in that day, A man keeps alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,
Jou sa a, chak moun va gen yon gazèl bèf ak de mouton pou yo chak.
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.
Lè sa a, bèt yo va bay lèt an kantite, tout moun va bwè lèt plen vant yo. Wi, moun ki va chape anba lanmò nan peyi a va bwè lèt ak siwo myèl ase.
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.
Jou sa a, kote ki te gen mil (1.000) pye rezen, epi ki te vo mil (1.000) pyès an ajan va plen pikan ak raje.
24 He comes there with arrows and with bow, Because all the land is brier and thorn.
Si yon moun pa gen zam nan men l', li p'ap ka pase la. Wi, pikan ak raje pral kouvri tout peyi a.
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!
Nan tout mòn kote yo te konn travay ak wou pou plante, pesonn p'ap ka ale la ankò poutèt pikan ak raje. Se bèf y'a lage la, se la mouton yo pral manje.
