Isaiah 7
1 In the time of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up against Jerusalem to besiege it; but he could not prevail 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 when it was told the house of David, that the Syrians had encamped in Ephraim, his heart was moved, and the hearts of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved with the 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 Then said Jehovah to Isaiah, Go forth to meet Ahaz, thou and Shear-Jashub thy son, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, in the way to 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 say to him: Take heed, and be quiet! Fear not, neither let thy heart he faint On account of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, On account of the fierce wrath of Rezin with the Syrians, and of 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 Syria deviseth evil against thee, 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 “Let us go up against Judah, and besiege the city, And take it, And set a king in the midst of it, Even 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: “It shall not stand, neither shall it be;
Enben! Men sa mwen menm, Seyè ki sèl mèt la, mwen di: Sa p'ap mache! Sa p'ap pase konsa!
8 But the head of Syria shall still be Damascus, And the head of Damascus, Rezin; [[And within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that he be no more 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 shall still be Samaria, And the head of Samaria, the son of Remaliah. If ye will not believe, neither shall ye thrive.”
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 Jehovah spake also again to Ahaz:
Seyè a voye yon lòt komisyon bay wa Akaz. Li di l' konsa:
-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 said, I will not ask; I will not tempt Jehovah!
Akaz reponn: -Mwen p'ap mande Seyè a anyen. Mwen p'ap sonde l'.
13 Then he said, Hear ye now, O house of David! Is it too small a thing for you to weary men, That ye should weary my God also?
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 shall Jehovah himself give you a sign: Behold, the damsel shall conceive, and bear a son, And she shall call 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 Milk and honey shall he eat, Until he learn to refuse the evil, and choose the 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 this child shall have learned to refuse the evil and choose the good, The land shall become desolate, On account of whose two kings thou art in terror.
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 Yet Jehovah shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, Days such as have not been Since Ephraim revolted from Judah. [[Even the king of Assyria.]]
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 shall come to pass in that day That Jehovah shall whistle for the fly that is at the end of the streams of Egypt, And the bee that is in the land of Assyria,
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 shall come, and light all of them In the desolate valleys, and fissures of the rocks, And upon all hedges, and upon all pastures.
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 shall Jehovah shave, with a razor hired beyond the river, [[with the king of Assyria, ]] The head, and the hair of the feet; Yea, even the beard shall he take away.
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 shall come to pass in that day, That a man shall keep a young cow, and two sheep;
Jou sa a, chak moun va gen yon gazèl bèf ak de mouton pou yo chak.
22 And for the abundance of milk which they produce, shall he eat cheese; For milk and honey shall all eat Who are left in the land,
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 shall come to pass in that day, That every place where stood a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels of silver, Shall be covered with briers and 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 With arrows and with bows shall men go thither; For all the land shall become briers and thorns.
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 All the hills that were digged with the mattock Shall no one approach through fear of briers and thorns; They shall be for the pasturage of oxen, And the trampling 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.
