Isaiah 7
1 Ahaz was the son of Jotham and grandson of Uzziah. During the time that Ahaz was the king of Judah, King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel marched [with their armies] to attack Jerusalem. But they could not conquer it.
I KE kau ia Ahaza, ke keiki a Iotama, ke keiki a Uzia, ke alii o ka Iuda, hele mai o Rezina, ke alii o Suria, a me Peka, ke keiki a Remalia, ke alii o ka Iseraela, e ku e ia Ierusalema, kaua mai, aole nae i hiki ia lakou ke lanakila maluna o ia wahi.
2 [But before they attacked], everyone in the palace heard a report that the armies of Syria and Israel were [now] (allies/joined [to attack Jerusalem)]. So Ahaz and the people over whom he ruled were extremely afraid; they were shaking from fear like trees shake in a windstorm.
A haiia mai la i ko ka hale o Davida, i ka i ana mai, Ke hoomoana nei ko Suria maloko o ko Eperaima. Alaila, haalulu ka naau o ke alii, a me ka naau o kona poo kanaka, o like me ka haalulu ana o na laau o ka ululaau imua o ka makani.
3 Then Yahweh said to me, “Take your son Shear-Jashub, and go to talk with [King] Ahaz. He is at the end of the (aqueduct/water channel) that brings water into the upper reservoir, near the road to the place where women wash clothes.
I mai la o Iehova ia Isaia, O hele, ano, e halawai me Ahaza, o oe, a me Seariasuba, kau keiki, ma ka welau o ka auwai o ka waipuna luna, ma ke ala e hiki aku ai ke kula holoi lole;
4 Tell Ahaz to stop worrying [DOU]. Tell him that he does not need to be afraid of those two kings, Rezin and Pekah. They are very angry [with Judah], but they are [unable to harm his country any more than] completely burned-out coals [can harm him].
A e i aku oe ia ia, E ao oe, e noho malie; Mai makau hoi, mai maule kou naau, No na welowelo alua o keia mau momoku ahi, O ka huhu o Rezina, a me ko Suria, a me ko keiki a Remalia.
5 Yes, they are planning to attack this land and saying,
No ka imi hala o ko Suria ia oe, A me Eperaima, a me ke keiki a Remalia, i ka i ana ae,
6 ‘We will attack Judah and conquer it. Then we will appoint Tabeel’s son to be the king of Judah.’
E pii ku e kakou i ka Iuda, e hoopilikia aku hoi, A e mahele ia wahi no kakou, A e hoonoho i ke keiki a Tabeala, i alii maloko ona.
7 But this is what Yahweh, the Lord, says: ‘It will not happen; they will not [conquer Jerusalem]!
Ke i mai nei ka Haku, o Iehova penei, Aole e ku keia, aole ia e hanaia.
8 The capital of Syria is Damascus, but Damascus is ruled [only] by its [unimportant/insignificant] king king Rezin. And as for Israel, within 65 years it will be conquered and completely destroyed.
O ke poo o Suria, o Damaseko ia, A o ke poo o Damaseko, o Rezina no; He kanaonokumamalima makahiki i koe, Alaila, kahuli o Eperaima, a lilo i aupuni ole.
9 Israel’s capital is Samaria, and Samaria is ruled only by its [insignificant/unimportant] king king Pekah. [So you do not need to be afraid of those two countries]! [But you must trust me, because] if you do not trust me fully, you will be defeated.’”
O Samaria no ke poo o Eperaima, A o ke poo hoi o Samaria, oia ke keiki a Remalia. I ole oukou e manaoio i keia, aole oukou e malu.
10 [Later], Yahweh gave [me another message to tell to] King Ahaz.
Olelo hou mai o Iehova ia Ahaza, i mai la,
11 [He said to tell him], “Request me, Yahweh your God, to do something that will enable you to be sure [that I will help/protect you]. What you request can be [from a place that is] as high as the sky or as low as the place where the dead people are.” (Sheol h7585)
E nonoi oe i hoailona nou, mai Iehova, mai kou Akua mai; E nonoi ma ka hohonu, a ma kahi kiekie paha. (Sheol h7585)
12 But [when I told that to the king, he refused]. He said, “[No], I will not request Yahweh to do something to prove [that he will help/protect us]!”
I aku la o Ahaza, Aole au e nonoi, Aole hoi au e aa aku ia Iehova.
13 Then I said [to him], “You people who are descendants of King David, listen! You are causing me to be tired of being patient. Are you also going to cause my God to stop being patient with you [RHQ]?
Alaila, i mai la ia, E hoolohe oukou, e ka ohana a Davida, He mea uuku anei ia oukou ke hoopaupauaho i kanaka? E hoopaupauaho pu anei oukou i ko'u Akua?
14 Yahweh himself will do something for you [to prove that he will help/protect you]. Listen to this: A young woman will become pregnant and give birth to a son. She will name him Immanuel, [which means ‘God is with us’].
Nolaila, na ka Haku ponoi no e haawi mai ia oukou i hoailona; Aia hoi! e hapai ana no kekahi wahine puupaa, A e hanau mai hoi ia i keiki, A e kapa aku no oia i kona inoa, o IMANUELA.
15 And by the time that child is old enough to eat curds/yogurt and honey, he will be able to reject what is evil and choose what is good.
O ka waiu paa a me ka mele kana e ai ai, A ike oia i ka hoole i ka hewa, a e koho hoi i ka pono.
16 And before that child is old enough to do that, the lands of the two kings that you(sg) are very (afraid of/worried about) will be deserted.
No ka mea, mamua o ka ike ana o ke keiki e hoole i ka hewa, A e koho hoi i ka pono, E neoneo e no ka aina o ua mau alii la elua au e makau nei.
17 [But then] Yahweh will cause you and your family and your entire nation to experience [terrible disasters]. Those disasters will be worse than any disasters that have occurred since the country of Israel separated from Judah. Yahweh will cause [the army of] the king of Assyria to attack you!”
Na Iehova no e hoopuka mai maluna ou, A maluna hoi o kou poe kanaka, A maluna o ka hale o kou makuakane, I na la i hiki ole mai ai mamua, Mai ka wa mai o ko Eperaima haalele ana i ka Iuda; I ke alii no Asuria.
18 At that time, [it will be as though] Yahweh will whistle to summon the army from the south of Egypt as well as the army of Assyria. They will [come and surround your country like] [MET] flies and bees.
A hiki aku i kela la, Na Iehova no e pio aku i ka nalo, E noho ana ma na welau o na muliwai o Aigupita, A i ka nalo-hope-eha, ma ka aina o Asuria;
19 They will all come and settle/live [everywhere]—in the narrow valleys and caves in the rock cliffs, on land where there are thornbushes as well as on the fertile land.
A e hele mai hoi lakou, a e kau mai lakou a pau, Ma na kahawai olohelohe, a ma na lua o na pohaku, A ma ka nahele ooi a pau, A ma na kula holoholona a pau.
20 At that time Yahweh will hire the king of Assyria to come [with his army] from east of the [Euphrates] River. [They will get rid of everything in your land—the crops and the people. They will destroy everything thoroughly]; it will be like [MET] a barber shaving not only a man’s hair but his beard and the hair on his legs.
Ia la la, na ka Haku no e kahi, me ka pahi-kahi i hoolimalimaia, ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, Me ke alii hoi o Asuria, I ke poo, a me ke oho o na kapuwai; A e kahiia no hoi ka umiumi.
21 When that happens, a farmer will be able to have only one cow and two goats/sheep.
A hiki aku i kela la, E hanai no ke kanaka i ka bipi ohi, a me na hipa elua;
22 [However], those animals will give plenty of milk, with the result that the farmer will have curds/yogurt to eat. And [because there will not be many people left] in the land, all the people who remain there will have plenty of milk and honey.
A no ka nui loa mai o ka waiu, E ai no ia i ka waiupaa; E ai io no i ka waiupaa a me ka meli, O ka poe a pau i koe ma ka aina.
23 Now there are many areas where there are vineyards that are worth 1,000 pieces of silver, but at that time there will be only briers and thorns [DOU] in those fields.
A hiki aku i kela la, O kahi a pau i ulu ai na kumuwaina, he tausani, I kuaiia no na hapalua he tausani, E paapu ia wahi i ka nahele ooi, a me ka laau kalakala.
24 There will be only briers and thorns in the entire land, [and wild animals], with the result that men will take their bows and arrows and go there [to hunt and kill animals].
Me na pua a me na kakaka lakou e hele ai ilaila, No ka mea, e nahelehele ana no ka aina a pau, I ka laau kalakala a me ka nahele ooi.
25 No one will go to where there previously were gardens on fertile hillsides, because briers and thorns will cover those hillsides. They will be areas where [only a few] cattle and sheep and goats wander around [searching for something to eat].
Ma na mauna a pau i olaolaoia i ka oo, Aohe mea hele ilaila, No ka makau i ka laau kalakala, a me ka nahele ooi: He wahi ia e hoouna aku ai i ka bipi, He wahi hoi e hahi ai na hipa.
