< 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.
Ke Tokosra Ahaz, wen natul Jotham ac nutin natul Uzziah, el leumi Judah, oasr sie mweun. Tokosra Rezin lun Syria, ac Tokosra Pekah, wen natul Remaliah lun Israel, elos tukeni som mweuni acn Jerusalem, tusruktu elos koflana sruokya.
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.
Ke pweng uh sonol tokosra lun Judah lah un mwet mweun lun acn Syria elos sun tari acn Israel, el ac mwet lal nukewa arulana fosrngala, oru elos rarrar oana sak kusrusryak ke eng uh.
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,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Isaiah, “Eisal Shear Jashub, wen nutum, ac fahla sonol Tokosra Ahaz. Kom ac konalak ke inkanek yen mwet orek nuknuk elos orekma we, ke saflaiyen laf in kof ma soror liki inlulu lucng ah me.
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.
Fahk nu sel elan akngusrikye, oakwuki na muta, ac tia sensen ku fohsak. Mulat lal Tokosra Rezin ac mwet Syria, oayapa Tokosra Pekah, oana wosr luo ma oanna fofosr — tiana mwe sensen.
5 Because that Aram counseled evil against you, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
Mwet Syria, wi mwet Israel ac tokosra lalos, tukeni orala sie pwapa koluk.
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.
Elos akola in mweuni Judah, ac aksangengye mwet we in welulosla lac, na elos ac akleumyauk wen se natul Tabeel elan tokosrala.
7 Thus said Lord YHWH: It does not stand, nor will it be!
“Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fahkak lah ma se inge ac fah tiana sikyak.
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.
Efu? Mweyen Syria el tia ku liki Damascus, siti lulap lal, ac Damascus el tia ku lukel Tokosra Rezin. Ac funu Israel, inmasrlon na yac onngoul limekosr ac fah arulana musalla acn we, tia sifil oaoa mu mutunfacl se pa el.
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.”
Israel el tia ku liki Samaria, siti lulap lal, ac Samaria el tia pac ku lukel Tokosra Pekah. “Lulalfongi lowos fin tia oakwuki ku, kowos ac tia pac ku in okak.”
10 And YHWH adds to speak to Ahaz, saying,
LEUM GOD El supwala soko pac sap nu sel Ahaz,
11 “Ask for a sign from your God YHWH, Make the request deep, or make [it] high upwards.” (Sheol h7585)
ac fahk, “Siyuk sin LEUM GOD lom Elan sot sie akul nu sum — ac ku in tuku liki acn loal faclu in facl sin mwet misa, ku liki acn fulat lucng inkusrao.” (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz says, “I do not ask nor try YHWH.”
Na Ahaz el topuk, “Nga fah tiana siyuk ke sie mwe akul. Nga fah tiana srike LEUM GOD luk.”
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?
Na Isaiah el fahk, “Inge porongeyu, kowos fwilin tulik natul David. Ma na koluk se ke kowos oru mwet uh in semutengla. Ya kowos ac oru God Elan semutengla pac?
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,
Leum sifacna El ac fah sot sie akul nu suwos. Sie mutan fusr su pitutu el ac fah oswela sie wen, ac sang inel ‘Immanuel.’
15 He eats butter and honey, When He knows to refuse evil, and to fix on good.
Ke pacl se tulik sac matula, ac ku in sifacna sulela inmasrlon ma wo ac ma koluk, el ac fah nim milk ac mongo honey.
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.
Tusruktu meet liki pacl sacn, facl sin tokosra luo ma aksangengye kowos ingan ac fah wanginla mwet we.
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.”
“LEUM GOD El ac fah use nu fom, ac nu fin mwet lom ac nu fin sou in leum, len in ongoiya ma koluk liki na ma sikyak tukun pacl se tokosrai lun Israel sriyukla liki Judah — El ac fah use tokosra lun Assyria in lain kom.
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.
“Ke pacl sac ac tuku, LEUM GOD El ac osla nu sin mwet Egypt in tuku oana loang uh liki sungan infacl puspis yen loessula ke Infacl Nile, ac nu sin mwet Assyria in tuku liki facl selos oana loanginyeir uh.
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.
Elos ac osralik acn nukewa infahlfal uh ac ke luf inmasrlon eot uh, ac elos ac afunla sak nukewa oasr otoh kac oayapa sroan mah nukewa.
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.
“Ke pacl sac, Leum El ac molema sie mwet kalkul lefahlo ke Infacl Euphrates — aok, tokosra fulat lun Assyria — su ac fah resaela alut lowos, aunsifowos ac monuwos nufon.
21 And it has come to pass in that day, A man keeps alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,
“Ke pacl sac ac tuku, finne cow fusr sokofanna ac nani lukwa nutin mwet ima se,
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.
ac yolyak milk kaclos in akfalye enenu lal nukewa. Aok, mwet pu su painmoulla in facl sac fah oasr milk ac honey nalos.
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.
“Ke pacl sac ac tuku, ima in grape wowo uh — kais sie ima inge oasr sie tausin oa in grape kac su molo oasr ke sie tausin ipin silver-ac fah kupoi ke kokul.
24 He comes there with arrows and with bow, Because all the land is brier and thorn.
Mwet uh ac us mwe pisr natulos ac som sruh kosro we. Aok, facl sac nufon ac fah nwanala ke mah kokul.
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!
Inging nukewa ma tuh imaiyuk meet, ac kupoi ke kokul, pwanang wangin mwet ac sifil som nu we. Ac fah acn in na mongo lun cow ac sheep.”
