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.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ahazu mũrũ wa Jothamu, mũrũ wa Uzia, aarĩ mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, Rezini mũthamaki wa Suriata marĩ na Peka mũrũ wa Remalia mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, makĩambata mathiĩ magatharĩkĩre itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, no matiigana kũrĩtooria.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a nyũmba ya Daudi nĩ meerirwo atĩrĩ, “Andũ a Suriata nĩmanyiitanĩte na andũ a Efiraimu”; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro ya Ahazu o na ngoro cia andũ ake ikĩinaina o ta ũrĩa mĩtĩ ya mũtitũ ĩinainagio nĩ rũhuho.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩra Isaia atĩrĩ, “Umagara, wee mũrĩ na mũrũguo Sheari-Jashubu, mũthiĩ mũgatũnge Ahazu mũthia-inĩ wa mũtaro ũrĩa uumĩte Karia-inĩ ka Rũgongo, njĩra-inĩ ya gũthiĩ Gĩthaka kĩa Mũthambia-Nguo.
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.
Ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Wĩmenyerere, ũikare ũhooreire na ndũgetigĩre. Ndũkareke ũũrwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wa icinga icio igĩrĩ iratooga ndogo; ndũgetigĩre marakara mahiũ ma Rezini, na ma Suriata, o na ma mũrũ wa Remalia.
5 Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have planned evil against you; they have said,
Suriata, na Efiraimu, na mũrũ wa Remalia nĩmaciirĩire gũkwananga, makoiga atĩrĩ,
6 “Let us attack Judah and terrify her, and let us break into her and set up our king there, the son of Tabeel.”
“Nĩtũtharĩkĩre Juda, tũkũnyariire na tũkũgayane, na tũtue mũrũ wa Tabeeli mũthamaki wakuo.”
7 The Lord Yahweh says, “It will not take place; it will not happen,
No rĩrĩ, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “‘Ũhoro ũcio ndũgaakinyanĩra, na ndũgekĩka,
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.
nĩgũkorwo itũũra inene rĩa Suriata nĩ Dameski, na mũnene wa Dameski no Rezini. Ihinda rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na ĩtano ĩtaanathira-rĩ, andũ a Efiraimu magaakorwo maharaganĩtio ũndũ matangĩcooka gũtuĩka rũrĩrĩ.
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.”'”
Ningĩ itũũra inene rĩa Efiraimu nĩ Samaria, na mũnene wa Samaria no mũrũ wa Remalia. Mũngĩaga kũrũgama mũrũmĩte wega wĩtĩkio-inĩ wanyu-rĩ, mũtikehaanda o na atĩa.’”
10 The Lord spoke again to Ahaz,
Ningĩ Jehova nĩarĩirie Ahazu o rĩngĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
“Ĩtia kĩmenyithia kuuma kũrĩ Jehova Ngai waku, o na kiumĩte kũndũ kũrĩa kũriku mũno, kana kiumĩte igũrũ kũrĩa kũraihu mũno.” (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test Yahweh.”
No Ahazu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndigwĩtia; niĩ ndikũgeria Jehova.”
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?
Ningĩ Isaia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta iguai rĩu, inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Daudi! Anga mũkuona arĩ ũndũ mũnini kũgeria ũkirĩrĩria wa andũ? Anga nĩmũũkũgeria ũkirĩrĩria wa Ngai wakwa o naguo?
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, Mwathani we mwene nĩakamũhe kĩmenyithia: Nĩgũkorwo mũirĩtu gathirange nĩakagĩa nda aciare kahĩĩ, nake agatue Imanueli.
15 He will eat curds and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
Iria imata na ũũkĩ nĩcio gakarĩĩaga rĩrĩa gakaamenya kũrega ũũru na gwĩthuurĩra maũndũ marĩa mega.
16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be desolate.
No mbere ya kahĩĩ kau kũmenya kũrega ũũru na gwĩthuurĩra maũndũ marĩa mega-rĩ, bũrũri ũcio wa athamaki acio eerĩ wĩtigĩrĩte nĩũkanangwo.
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.”
Jehova nĩagakũrehithĩria wee mwene na andũ aku, o na andũ a nyũmba ya thoguo maũndũ matarĩ moneka kuuma rĩrĩa Efiraimu aatiganire na Juda; Jehova akaarehera mũthamaki wa Ashuri.”
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova nĩakahuuhĩra ngi mĩrũri, aciĩte kuuma tũrũũĩ-inĩ twa kũraya twa bũrũri wa Misiri, na eete njũkĩ iria irĩ bũrũri wa Ashuri.
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.
Nacio ciothe nĩcigooka ciikare iharũrũka-inĩ cia mĩkuru, na mĩatũka-inĩ ya ndwaro cia mahiga, na ihinga-inĩ ciothe cia mĩigua, na marima-inĩ mothe ma maaĩ.
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.
Mũthenya ũcio Mwathani nĩakahũthĩra rwenji rũkomboretwo kuuma mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Farati; naruo nĩruo mũthamaki wa Ashuri; nake nĩakenja mĩtwe yanyu na njuĩrĩ cia magũrũ manyu, o na ningĩ enje nderu cianyu.
21 On that day, a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep,
Mũthenya ũcio, mũndũ akaarĩithia o moori ĩmwe na ngʼondu igĩrĩ.
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.
Na tondũ wa ũingĩ wa iria rĩrĩa igaakamagwo-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio akaanyuuaga iria imata. Arĩa othe magaatigara kũu bũrũri ũcio makaanyuuaga iria imata, na marĩĩage ũũkĩ.
23 At that time, where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, there will be nothing but briers and thorns.
Mũthenya ũcio, kũndũ kũrĩa guothe kwarĩ mĩthabibũ 1,000 ĩngĩendirio cekeri 1,000 ya betha, gũgaakũra o congʼe na mĩtĩ ya mĩigua.
24 Men will go there to hunt with bows, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
Andũ magaathiiaga kuo marĩ na ũta na mĩguĩ, nĩgũkorwo bũrũri ũcio ũkaiyũra congʼe, na mĩtĩ ya mĩigua.
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.
Nakuo irĩma-inĩ guothe kũrĩa kwanarĩmwo na icembe, mũtigacooka gũthiĩ nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra congʼe, na mĩtĩ ya mĩigua; kũndũ kũu gũgaatuĩka gwa kũrĩithagio ngʼombe, na gwa kũrangagwo nĩ ndũũru cia ngʼondu.
