< 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.
Ɛberɛ a Usia babarima Yotam babarima Ahas bɛdii Yudaman so ɔhene no, Aramhene Resin ne Remalia babarima Peka a ɔyɛ Israelhene baa Yerusalem ne wɔn bɛkoeɛ, nanso wɔantumi anni ne so.
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.
Na wɔka kyerɛɛ Dawid fie sɛ, “Aram ne Efraim ayɛ apam.” Enti Ahas ne ne nkurɔfoɔ ho wosoeɛ sɛdeɛ kwaeɛm nnua woso wɔ mframa ano no.
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.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yesaia sɛ, “Wo ne wo babarima Sear-Yasub nkɔhyia Ahas wɔ Atifi Tadeɛ no subɔnka a ɛwɔ Ntomasifoɔ Afuo no kwan so.
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.
Ka kyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Hwɛ yie, yɛ komm na nsuro. Mma wʼakoma ntu wɔ saa nnyentia mmienu a ɛrefiri wisie yi ho; wɔ Resin Aramhene ne Remalia babarima abufuhyeɛ no enti.
5 Because for it has planned on you Aram harm Ephraim and [the] son of Remaliah saying.
Aram, Efraim ne Remalia babarima abɔ wo sɛeɛ ho pɔ sɛ,
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.
“Momma yɛnto nhyɛ Yuda so, na yɛntete wɔn mu na yɛnkyɛ mfa, na yɛnsi Tabeel babarima ɔhene wɔ so.”
7 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not it will stand and not it will happen.
Nanso deɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie: “‘Ɛremma so, na ɛrensi da,
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.
Aram tiri ne Damasko, na Resin pɛ na ɛyɛ Damasko ti. Mfirinhyia aduosia enum mu no Efraim mu bɛtete koraa a ɛrentumi nnyɛ ɔman.
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.
Efraim tiri ne Samaria Remalia babarima pɛ ne Samaria ti. Sɛ woannyina pintinn wɔ wo gyidie mu a, worennyina koraa.’”
10 And he repeated Yahweh to speak to Ahaz saying.
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Ahas bio sɛ,
11 Ask for yourself a sign from with Yahweh God your make deep [as] Sheol or make high upwards. (Sheol h7585)
“Bisa Awurade wo Onyankopɔn hɔ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, sɛ ɛwɔ ebunu ase tɔnn anaa ɔsorosoro nohoa.” (Sheol h7585)
12 And he said Ahaz not I will ask and not I will put to [the] test Yahweh.
Nanso, Ahas buaa sɛ, “Meremmisa. Merensɔ Awurade nhwɛ.”
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.
Na Yesaia kaa sɛ, “Montie Dawid fie! Ɛnnɔɔso mma mo sɛ mobɛsɔ nnipa ntoboaseɛ ahwɛ? Na mobɛsɔ me Onyankopɔn nso ntoboaseɛ ahwɛ anaa?
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.
Ɛnneɛ, Onyankopɔn ankasa bɛma mo nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ; ɔbaabunu no bɛnyinsɛn, na wawo ɔbabarima, na ɔbɛfrɛ no Immanuel.
15 Curd and honey he will eat to knowing his to reject the evil and to choose the good.
Ɔbɛdi nufosuo ani sradeɛ ne ɛwoɔ ɛberɛ a wahunu deɛ ɛbɛma watumi apo bɔne na wafa deɛ ɛyɛ.
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.
Nanso, ansa na abarimaa no bɛhunu deɛ ɛbɛma watumi apo bɔne na wafa deɛ ɛyɛ no, wɔbɛma ahemfo mmienu a wosuro wɔn no nsase ada mpan.
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.
Awurade de ɛberɛ bi bɛba wo ne wo nkurɔfoɔ ne wʼagya fie so a ɛso bi mmaa da, ɛfiri ɛberɛ a Efraim tee ne ho firii Yuda ho; ɔde Asiriahene bɛba.”
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.
Ɛda no, Awurade bɛhyɛn abɛn afrɛ nwansena afiri nsuwansuwa a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri wɔ Misraim ne nwowa a wɔfiri Asiria asase so.
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.
Wɔn nyinaa bɛba abɛgu mmɔnhwa a emu dɔ ne ntokuro a ɛwɔ abotan mu, nkyɛkyerɛ ne nsuka mu.
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.
Ɛda no, Awurade de oyiwan a ɔbɛgye wɔ Asubɔnten no agya nohoa wɔ Asiriahene nkyɛn, na ɔde ayi motiri so ne monan ho nwi na wayi mo abɔgyesɛ nso.
21 And it will be in the day that he will preserve alive a person a heifer of [the] herd and two sheep.
Saa ɛda no, obiara bɛyɛn nantwiburuwa baako ne mpɔnkye mmienu.
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.
Na ɛsiane nufosuo dodoɔ a wɔbɛma enti, ɔbɛnya nufosuo ani sradeɛ adi. Wɔn a wɔbɛka wɔ asase no so nyinaa bɛdi nufosuo ani sradeɛ ne ɛwoɔ.
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.
Saa ɛda no, baabiara a na anka bobe apem a ne boɔ yɛ dwetɛ kilogram dubaako ne fa wɔ no, wɔbɛhunu nnɛnkyɛnse ne nkasɛɛ.
24 With arrows and with bow anyone will go there for thorn[s] and bush[es] it will be all the land.
Nnipa de agyan ne tadua bɛkɔ hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ nnɛnkyɛnse ne nkasɛɛ agye hɔ.
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.
Nkokoɔ a na anka kane no wɔde nsɔ yɛ so adwuma no, nnɛnkyɛnse ne nkasɛɛ ho hu enti wɔrenkɔ hɔ bio. Ɛbɛdane mmeammea a wogyaa anantwie ne nnwan ma wɔkɔ.
