< Isaiah 7 >
1 During the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but they could not prevail against it.
Uzziah capa Jotham, Jotham capa Ahaz, Judah siangpahrang ah oh naah, Syria siangpahrang Rezin hoi Israel siangpahrang Remaliah capa, Rekah loe Jerusalem tuk hanah caeh hoi tahang, toe pazawk hoi thai ai.
2 It was reported to the house of David that Aram was allied with Ephraim. His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest shake in the wind.
David imthung takoh khaeah, Syria hoi Ephraim loe angbomh hoi boeh, tiah thuih pae o naah, Ahaz hoi anih kaminawk takhi mah hmuh naah kanghuenh taw thung ih thing baktiah tasoehhaih palung to tawnh o.
3 Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-Jashub to meet Ahaz at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the road to Launderer's Field.
To naah Angraeng mah Isaiah khaeah, Ahaz hoi angqum hanah, kahni pasuk kami ih lawk caehhaih loklam, tui lakhaih aluek bang tuili boenghaih ahmuen ah, na capa Shear-Jashub hoiah caeh hoih;
4 Tell him, 'Be careful, remain calm, do not be afraid or intimidated by these two smoldering firebrands, by the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram, and of Pekah son of Remaliah.
anih khaeah, acoehaih hoiah om duem ah; hmaikhue tacawt thingboeng hnetto ah kaom, Syria siangpahrang Rezin hoi Ramaliah capa hnik palungphuihaih to zii hmah loe, na palungthin doeh thazoksak hmah.
5 Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have planned evil against you; they have said,
Syria, Ephraim hoi Ramaliah capa loe nang amrosak hanah khokhan hoi boeh, nihnik mah,
6 “Let us attack Judah and terrify her, and let us break into her and set up our king there, the son of Tabeel.”
Judah hae tuh si; prae to tapraek boih si loe, amzet o si, Tabel capa to nihcae ukkung siangpahrang ah suem si, tiah a thuih o.
7 The Lord Yahweh says, “It will not take place; it will not happen,
Toe Angraeng Sithaw mah, To tiah om mak ai, to tiah angcoeng mak ai.
8 because the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years, Ephraim will be shattered and will no longer be a people.
Syria prae ih lu loe Damaska ni, Rezin loe Damaska ih lu ah oh pongah, saning qui taruk pangato thung, Ephraim loe acaeng kami ah om mak ai, tamit o boih tih.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you do not remain firm in faith, surely you will not remain secure.”'”
Ephraim ih lu loe Samaria, Samaria ih lu loe Ramaliah ih capa ah oh. Nang tang o haih ah, kacak ah nang doe o ai nahaeloe, nang doe o thai poe mak ai, tiah thuih.
10 The Lord spoke again to Ahaz,
Angraeng mah Ahaz khaeah lok thuih pae let,
11 “Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask for it in the depths or in the height above.” (Sheol )
kathuk koek ahmuen ah maw, to ai boeh loe kasang koek ahmuen ah maw, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah angmathaih to hni ah, tiah a naa. (Sheol )
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test Yahweh.”
Toe Ahaz mah, Ka hnih mak ai, Angraeng to ka tanoek mak ai, tiah a naa.
13 So Isaiah replied, “Listen, house of David. Is it not enough for you people to test the patience of people? Must you also test the patience of my God?
To naah Isaiah mah, Aw David imthung takoh, vaihi tahngai oh! Nangcae loe kaminawk thazoksak khue ai ah, ka bok ih ka Sithaw doeh tha na zok o sak han vop maw? tiah a naa.
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you people a sign: See, the young woman will conceive, bear a son, and will call his name Immanuel.
To pongah Angraeng angmah roe nangcae hanah angmathaih to na paek tih; Khenah, tangla cuem maeto loe zokpom tih, anih mah capa maeto sah ueloe, anih to Immanuel, tiah ahminphui tih.
15 He will eat curds and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
Anih loe kasae hmuen to pahnawt moe, kahoih hmuen to qoih thai hanah, panoekhaih to tawnh tih; anih loe kamkhawk maitaw tahnutui hoi khoitui to caa tih.
16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be desolate.
Toe to nawkta mah kasae to pahnawt moe, kahoih hmuen qoihaih to panoek ai naah, na zit ih siangpahrang hnik mah uk ih prae to pahnawt sut ah om tih.
17 Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house days unlike any since Ephraim seceded from Judah—he will bring on you the king of Assyria.”
Ephraim hoi Judah ampraekhaih ni hoi kamtong, Angraeng mah kaom vai ai hmuen to omsak tih; nang hoi nangmah ih kaminawk, nam pa imthung takohnawk to tuk hanah, Assyria siangpahrang to angzosak tih;
18 At that time Yahweh will whistle for a fly from the distant streams of Egypt, and for a bee from the land of Assyria.
To na niah Angraeng mah, Izip prae kangthla koek vapuinawk taengah kaom taksaenawk hoi Assyria prae ih khoimiinawk to kawk tih.
19 They will all come and settle down into all the gorges, into the clefts of the rocks, on all the thornbushes, and onto all the pastures.
Taksaenawk hoi khoimiinawk loe angpoeng o ueloe, kami om ai ahmuen ah kaom azawn, cathaeng khaw, soekhringkungnawk hoi aqam kabuk thingnawk boih nuiah acuuk o tih.
20 At that time the Lord will shave with a razor that was hired beyond the Euphrates River—the king of Assyria— the head and the hair of the legs; it will also sweep away the beard.
To na niah loe vapui yaeh ah kaom, Assyria siangpahrang to Angraeng mah sam aat kami ah thlai ueloe, anih mah nangcae ih sam, khokmuinawk hoi toektaboe muinawk to aat tih.
21 On that day, a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep,
To na niah loe kami maeto mah maitaw talaa maeto hoi tuu hnetto pacah tih;
22 and because of the abundance of milk which they shall give, he will eat curds, for everyone left in the land will eat curds and honey.
pop parai tahnutui to tacawtsak pongah, nihcae loe tahnutui kamkhawk to caa o tih; prae thung ih kanghmat kaminawk boih mah tahnutui kamkhawk hoi khoitui to caa o tih.
23 At that time, where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, there will be nothing but briers and thorns.
To na niah loe phoisa sangto tacawthaih ahmuen hoi misurkung sangto ohhaih ahmuen kruekah, phroh kapring hoi soekhring ni om tih boeh.
24 Men will go there to hunt with bows, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
Prae thung boih ah phroh kapring hoi soekhring to koi boeh pongah, kaminawk loe kalii maw, palaa maw sin hoiah ni to ahmuen ah caeh o tih boeh.
25 They will stay away from all the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, for fear of the briers and thorns; but it will be a place where cattle and sheep graze.
Soekhring hoi kapring to zit o pongah, canghniah taoi hoi long takaeh moe, lawk sakhaih maesomnawk nuiah, mi doeh caeh o mak ai boeh; to ahmuen loe maitaw taenawk prathaih ahmuen hoi tuu taenawk paqaihhaih ahmuen ah ni om ving tih boeh, tiah thuih.
