< Isaiah 7 >
1 And it was in [the] days of Ahaz [the] son of Jotham [the] son of Uzziah [the] king of Judah he went up Rezin [the] king of Aram and Pekah [the] son of Remaliah [the] king of Israel Jerusalem for battle on it and not he was able to engage in battle on it.
當烏齊雅的孫子,約堂的兒子阿哈次為猶大王時,阿蘭王勒斤和以色列王勒瑪里雅的兒子培卡黑,上來攻打耶路撒冷,但是不能攻陷。
2 And it was told to [the] house of David saying it has stood Aram with Ephraim and it shook heart his and [the] heart of people his as shake [the] trees of [the] forest from before a wind.
有人報告達味家說:「阿蘭已經駐紮在厄弗辣因!」君王與人民都膽戰心驚,有如風中搖動的樹木。
3 And he said Yahweh to Isaiah go out please to meet Ahaz you and Shear-jashub son your to [the] end of [the] conduit of the pool upper to [the] highway of [the] field of [the] washer.
上主對依撒意亞說:「你和你的兒子舍阿爾雅叔布出去,到上池的水溝盡頭,即漂工田間的大道上,去會見阿哈次;
4 And you will say to him take care and show quietness may not you be afraid and heart your may not it be weak from [the] two [the] stumps of pieces of firewood smoking these by [the] heat of [the] anger of Rezin and Aram and [the] son of Remaliah.
對他說:你必須審慎,保持鎮定,不必畏懼,不要因那兩個冒煙的火把頭-即勒斤、阿蘭和勒瑪里雅之子-的怒火而膽怯。
5 Because for it has planned on you Aram harm Ephraim and [the] son of Remaliah saying.
雖然阿蘭、厄弗辣因和勒瑪里雅的兒子同謀,迫害你說:
6 Let us go up on Judah and let us demolish it and let us break into it to ourselves and let us make king a king in [the] midst of it [the] son of Tabeel.
我們上猶大去,擾亂她,把她佔領過來歸於我們,並在那裏立塔貝耳的兒子為王;
7 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not it will stand and not it will happen.
但是吾主上主卻這樣說:這事決不能成立,亦不能發生!
8 For [is] [the] head of Aram Damascus and [is] [the] head of Damascus Rezin and in yet sixty and five year[s] it will be shattered Ephraim from a people.
因為阿蘭的首都是大馬士革,大馬士革的首領是勒斤;
9 And [is] [the] head of Ephraim Samaria and [is] [the] head of Samaria [the] son of Remaliah if not you will believe for not you will be established.
厄弗辣因的首都是撒瑪黎雅,撒瑪黎雅的首領是勒瑪里雅的兒子。【六年或五年以後,阿蘭將被消滅,厄弗辣因將要衰敗。】假使你們不肯相信,你們必然不能存立。」
10 And he repeated Yahweh to speak to Ahaz saying.
上主又對阿哈次說:「
11 Ask for yourself a sign from with Yahweh God your make deep [as] Sheol or make high upwards. (Sheol )
你向上主你的天主要求一個徵兆罷 !或求諸陰府深處,或求諸上天高處。」 (Sheol )
12 And he said Ahaz not I will ask and not I will put to [the] test Yahweh.
阿哈次回答說:「我不要求,我不願試探上主。」
13 And he said hear please O house of David ¿ [too] little for you [is] to make weary people that you will make weary also God my.
依撒意亞說:「達味的家族,你們聽著罷 !你們使人厭惡還不夠,還要使我的天主厭惡嗎﹖
14 Therefore he will give [the] Lord he to you a sign there! the young woman [will be] pregnant and [will] bear a son and she will call name his Immanu-el.
因此,吾主要親自給你們一個徵兆:看,有位貞女要懷孕生子,給他起名叫厄瑪奴耳。
15 Curd and honey he will eat to knowing his to reject the evil and to choose the good.
到他知道棄惡揚善的時候,要吃乳酪和蜂蜜;
16 For before he will know the lad to reject the evil and to choose the good it will be forsaken the land which you [are] feeling dread of [the] two kings its.
因為在這孩子尚未知道棄惡擇善以前,你在那兩個君王面前所擔心的國土,必將荒廢。
17 He will bring Yahweh on you and on people your and on [the] house of father your days which not they have come from [the] day departed Ephraim from with Judah [the] king of Assyria.
上主必使患難的日子臨於你、你的百姓和你的父家身上;這是從厄弗辣因叛離猶大那一天所未有過的,【即亞述王加禍的日子。】
18 And it will be - in the day that he will whistle Yahweh for the fly which [is] at [the] end of [the] canals of Egypt and for the bee which [is] in [the] land of Assyria.
那一日,上主要喚來埃及大河盡頭的蠅和亞述境內的蜂,
19 And they will come and they will settle all of them in [the] wadis of the cliffs and in [the] clefts of the rocks and on all the thornbushes and in all the watering-places.
牠們將要前來,一起落在荒谷、巖穴,以及一切荊棘叢中和一切水溝上。
20 In the day that he will shave [the] Lord with a razor hired on [the] other sides [the] River with [the] king of Assyria the head and [the] hair of the feet and also the beard it will sweep away.
那一日,吾主要用由大河那邊借來的剃刀【即亞述王】剃去你的頭髮和恥毛,連鬍鬚也要刮掉。
21 And it will be in the day that he will preserve alive a person a heifer of [the] herd and two sheep.
到那一日,人僅能餵養一隻牛犢和兩隻母山羊,
22 And it will be from [the] abundance of producing of milk he will eat curd for curd and honey he will eat every [one who] remains in [the] midst of the land.
因為出奶很多,人將以乳酪為食,因而境內所有的遺民,都將以乳酪和蜂蜜為食。
23 And it will be in the day that it will be every place where it was there a thousand vine[s] for a thousand silver the thorn[s] and the> bush[es] it will become.
到那一日,先前所有種植一千棵葡萄,值一千塊銀子的地方,必將叢生荊棘和蒺藜。
24 With arrows and with bow anyone will go there for thorn[s] and bush[es] it will be all the land.
人往那裏去,必須攜帶弓箭,因為遍地都是荊棘和蒺藜。
25 And all the hills which with the hoe they were hoed! not you will go there fear of thorn[s] and bush[es] and it will become pastureland of ox[en] and a trampling place of sheep.
先前用鋤頭開墾的山地,沒有人敢到那裏,因為害怕荊棘蒺藜。那裏將成為放牛和羊群踐踏的地區。
