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.
乌西雅的孙子、约坦的儿子、犹大王亚哈斯在位的时候，亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子、以色列王比加上来攻打耶路撒冷，却不能攻取。
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.
有人告诉大卫家说：“亚兰与以法莲已经同盟。”王的心和百姓的心就都跳动，好像林中的树被风吹动一样。
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.
耶和华对以赛亚说：“你和你的儿子施亚雅述出去，到上池的水沟头，在漂布地的大路上，去迎接亚哈斯，
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.
对他说：‘你要谨慎安静，不要因亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子这两个冒烟的火把头所发的烈怒害怕，也不要心里胆怯。
5 Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have planned evil against you; they have said,
因为亚兰和以法莲，并利玛利的儿子，设恶谋害你，
6 “Let us attack Judah and terrify her, and let us break into her and set up our king there, the son of Tabeel.”
说：我们可以上去攻击犹大，扰乱它，攻破它，在其中立他比勒的儿子为王。
7 The Lord Yahweh says, “It will not take place; it will not happen,
所以主耶和华如此说： 这所谋的必立不住， 也不得成就。
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.
原来亚兰的首城是大马士革； 大马士革的首领是利汛。 （六十五年之内，以法莲必然破坏，不再成为国民。）
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.”'”
以法莲的首城是撒马利亚； 撒马利亚的首领是利玛利的儿子。 你们若是不信， 定然不得立稳。’”
10 The Lord spoke again to Ahaz,
耶和华又晓谕亚哈斯说：
“你向耶和华—你的 神求一个兆头：或求显在深处，或求显在高处。” (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test Yahweh.”
亚哈斯说：“我不求；我不试探耶和华。”
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?
以赛亚说：“大卫家啊，你们当听！你们使人厌烦岂算小事，还要使我的 神厌烦吗？
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.
因此，主自己要给你们一个兆头，必有童女怀孕生子，给他起名叫以马内利。
15 He will eat curds and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
到他晓得弃恶择善的时候，他必吃奶油与蜂蜜。
16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be desolate.
因为在这孩子还不晓得弃恶择善之先，你所憎恶的那二王之地必致见弃。
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.”
耶和华必使亚述王攻击你的日子临到你和你的百姓，并你的父家，自从以法莲离开犹大以来，未曾有这样的日子。
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.
“那时，耶和华要发嘶声，使埃及江河源头的苍蝇和亚述地的蜂子飞来；
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.
都必飞来，落在荒凉的谷内、磐石的穴里，和一切荆棘篱笆中，并一切的草场上。
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.
“那时，主必用大河外赁的剃头刀，就是亚述王，剃去头发和脚上的毛，并要剃净胡须。
21 On that day, a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep,
“那时，一个人要养活一只母牛犊，两只母绵羊；
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.
因为出的奶多，他就得吃奶油，在境内所剩的人都要吃奶油与蜂蜜。
23 At that time, where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, there will be nothing but briers and thorns.
“从前，凡种一千棵葡萄树、值银一千舍客勒的地方，到那时必长荆棘和蒺藜。
24 Men will go there to hunt with bows, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
人上那里去，必带弓箭，因为遍地满了荆棘和蒺藜。
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.
所有用锄刨挖的山地，你因怕荆棘和蒺藜，不敢上那里去；只可成了放牛之处，为羊践踏之地。”
