Ezayi 7
1 Alò, li te vin rive nan jou Achaz yo, fis a Jotham la, fis a Ozias la, wa Juda a, ke Retsin, wa Syrie a ak Pékach, fis a Remalia a, wa Israël la, te monte vè Jérusalem pou fè lagè kont li, men yo pa t ka genyen l.
It was during the reign of Ahaz son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, king of Aram, marched to attack Jerusalem. Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, joined in the attack, but they couldn't conquer the city.
2 Lè rapò a te rive kote lakay David e te di: “Siryen yo te fè kan Éphraïm”, ke Achaz ak kè pèp li te vin ajite tankou bwa forè k ap souke nan van.
When the royal family of Judah was told, “Aram and Ephraim have an alliance,” Ahaz and his people were terrified and they shook like trees in the forest tossed about by the wind.
3 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Ésaïe: “Sòti la koulye a pou rankontre Achaz, ou menm ak fis ou, Schear-Jaschub, nan pwent kanal la premye ma dlo sou gran chemen ki mennen kote chan Foulon an.
Then the Lord told Isaiah, “Take your son Shear-jashub with you and go and meet Ahaz. He'll be at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, by the road to the laundry field.
4 Epi di li: ‘Fè atansyon e rete kalm. Pa pè e pa dekouraje akoz grenn chouk sann cho sa yo k ap fè lafimen akoz de gwo kòlè Retsin ak Syrie, ak fis Remalia a.
Tell him, ‘Calm down and keep quiet. Don't be afraid or scared over a couple of smoldering bits of firewood, over the burning anger of Rezin and Aram, and of Remaliah's son.
5 Paske Syrie, Éphraïm ak fis a Remalia yo, te fè plan mechanste kont ou e te di:
Aram has plotted to destroy you together with Ephraim and Remaliah's son saying,
6 Annou monte kont Juda, teworize l, fè pou nou yon brèch nan miray li yo, e fè fis Tabeel la vin wa nan mitan li.”
Let's go and attack Judah! We'll terrorize it and conquer it for ourselves, and make Tabeel's son its king.”
7 Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Sa p ap kanpe, ni sa p ap pase.”
But this is what the Lord God says, “This plan won't materialize—it just won't happen!
8 Paske tèt Syrie a se Damas, tèt Damas se Retsin (e nan yon lòt swasann-senk ane, Éphraïm va kraze nèt jiskaske li pa menm yon pèp ankò),
For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. In addition, within sixty-five years Israel as a nation will be destroyed.
9 Epi tèt a Éphraïm se Samarie, tèt a Samarie se fis a Remalia a. Si ou pa kwè, anverite, ou p ap etabli.’”
The head of Israel is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you don't trust in me, then you won't survive.”
10 SENYÈ a te pale ankò ak Achaz. Li te di:
Later the Lord sent another message to Ahaz,
11 “Mande yon sign pou ou menm soti nan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a; fè l nan fon a, tankou Sejou mò yo, oswa nan wotè tankou rive nan syèl la.” (Sheol h7585)
“Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether as deep as where people are buried or as high as heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Men Achaz te di: “Mwen p ap mande, ni mwen p ap pase SENYÈ a a leprèv!”
“No, I'm not going to ask,” Ahaz replied. “I refuse to put the Lord to the test.”
13 Epi li te di: “Koute koulye a, O lakay David! Èske se yon bagay ki twò piti pou nou menm pou tante pasyans a lezòm, ke nou va tante pasyans a Bondye mwen an tou?
Then Isaiah said, “Listen, royal family of Judah! Isn't it enough for you to wear people out? Do you have to wear my God out too?
14 Pou sa, SENYÈ a, Li menm, va bay nou yon sign: Gade byen, yon vyèj va vin ansent. Li va fè yon fis e li va rele non Li Emmanuel.
This is why the Lord himself is going to give you a sign. Look! The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and she will call him Immanuel.
15 Li va manje bòl lèt kaye ak siwo myèl nan lè Li gen konesans ase pou refize mal e chwazi sa ki bon.
He will eat curds and honey until the time he knows to refuse evil and choose the good.
16 Paske avan jenn gason a va gen ase konesans pou refize mal e chwazi sa ki bon, peyi a de wa ke nou krent yo va abandone nèt.
For before the boy knows to refuse evil and choose the good, the land of the two kings you're afraid of will be deserted.
17 SENYÈ a va mennen fè rive sou nou, sou pèp nou an ak sou lakay papa nou, jou konsi ki pa t janm gen parèy depi jou ke Éphraïm te separe ak Juda a—Wa Assyrie a.
The Lord will make you, your people, and the royal family experience a time unlike anything since the day Ephraim split from Judah. He will bring the king of Assyria to attack you!”
18 Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va soufle mouch ki nan kote pi lwen nan rivyè Égypte yo ak foul myèl ki rete Assyrie yo.
At that time the Lord will whistle to call flies from the distant rivers of Egypt and bees from the country of Assyria.
19 Yo tout va vini fè anplasman sou ravin apik yo, sou ti pla falèz yo, kloti bwa pikan yo ak sou tout sous patiraj bèt yo.
They will all come and descend on the steep valleys and rock crevices, on all the thorn bushes and waterholes.
20 Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va raze ak yon razwa, ki lwe soti nan rejyon lòtbò rivyè Euphrate la. Se wa Assyrie la menm. L ap manje tout jis nan tèt ak plim sou pye, pou l rive fin manje jis nan bab la.
At that time the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River, the king of Assyria, to shave you from head to toe, including your beards.
21 Alò, nan jou sa a, yon nonm ka fè viv yon sèl grenn gazèl bèf ak yon pè mouton.
At that time a someone who manages to keep a young cow and two sheep alive
22 Men akoz gwo kantite lèt ki pwodwi, li va bwè bòl lèt kaye a, paske tout moun ki rete nan peyi a va bwè bòl lèt ak siwo myèl la.
will eat curds, because they produce so much milk—for everyone who survives in the land will eat curds and honey.
23 Konsa, li va rive nan jou sa a, ke tout kote ki te konn genyen mil pye rezen, ki te gen valè a mil sik ajan, va vin tounen raje ak pikan.
At that time everywhere that once had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels will only have brambles and thorns.
24 Moun va vini la ak banza ak flèch yo akoz tout tè a va vin fè raje ak pikan.
People will go hunting there with bows and arrows because the land will be covered with brambles and thorns.
25 Tout kolin ki te konn kiltive ak wou yo, nou p ap prale la akoz nou pè raje ak pikan. Li va devni yon kote pou pye bèf ak mouton pou yo foule l nèt.”
In fact, all the hills that were once tilled by the hoe you won't want to go to because you'll worry about the brambles and thorns there. They'll just be where cattle are let loose and where sheep roam.
