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.
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, came up, to Jerusalem, to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
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.
And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria hath settled down upon Ephraim. Then shook his heart, and the heart of his people, as the trees of a forest shake before a 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 said Yahweh, unto Isaiah, Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, —unto the end of the channel of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fuller’s 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.
and say unto him—Take heed and keep thyself calm—do not fear, neither let thy heart be faint, because of these two fag-ends of smoking firebrands, —in spite of the glow of the anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliah.
5 Paske Syrie, Éphraïm ak fis a Remalia yo, te fè plan mechanste kont ou e te di:
Because Syria, hath taken counsel against thee, for mischief, —[with] Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, 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 us go up against Judah, and besiege it, and break it open, for ourselves, —and set up a king in the midst thereof, even the son of Tabeal,
7 Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Sa p ap kanpe, ni sa p ap pase.”
Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, —It shall not stand Neither shall it come to pass!
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, though the head of Syria is Damascus, And, the head of Damascus, is Rezin, Yet within threescore and five years more, shall Ephraim be broken that it shall not be a people;
9 Epi tèt a Éphraïm se Samarie, tèt a Samarie se fis a Remalia a. Si ou pa kwè, anverite, ou p ap etabli.’”
Even though the head of Ephraim is Samaria, And, the head of Samaria, is the son of Remaliah. If ye trust not, Surely, ye cannot be trusted!
10 SENYÈ a te pale ankò ak Achaz. Li te di:
And again spake Yahweh unto Ahaz saying—
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 thee a sign, of Yahweh thy God, —Go down deep for a request, Or ascend on high! (Sheol h7585)
12 Men Achaz te di: “Mwen p ap mande, ni mwen p ap pase SENYÈ a a leprèv!”
But Ahaz said, —I will not ask Nor will I put Yahweh to the proof.
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 said he—Hear, I pray you, O house of David! Is it, too little, for you to weary men, that ye must weary even my God?
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.
Wherefore let My Lord Himself give you a sign, —Lo! a Virgin, being with child and giving birth to a son, thou wilt call his name 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.
Curds and honey, shall he eat, by the time that he knoweth to refuse the bad 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 knoweth to refuse the bad and choose the good, forsaken shall be the land, at which, thou, art alarmed, of the presence of both her kings.
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.
Yahweh will bring upon thee and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days which have not come, from the day when Ephraim departed from Judah, —even the king of Assyria.
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.
And it shall come to pass in that day that Yahweh will give a signal—To the fly that is in the uttermost part of the Nile-canals of Egypt, And to the bee that is in the land 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.
And they shall all of them come and settle down—In the desolate torrent-valleys, And in the rents of the crags, —And on all the thorn-bushes, And on all the pastures,
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.
In that day, will My Lord shave, with a hired razor, even with them of the lands over the River Euphrates, with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet, —yea, even the beard, will it sweep off.
21 Alò, nan jou sa a, yon nonm ka fè viv yon sèl grenn gazèl bèf ak yon pè mouton.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall keep alive a young cow and two sheep.
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.
Yea it shall come to pass for the abundance of the yield of milk, that he shall eat curds, —for, curds and honey, shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land.
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.
And it shall some to pass in that day, that, every place wherein there used to be a thousand vines at a thousand pieces of silver, —yea, even for briars and thorns, shall it be.
24 Moun va vini la ak banza ak flèch yo akoz tout tè a va vin fè raje ak pikan.
With arrows and with a bow, shall one come in thither, —for briars and thorns, shall be all the land.
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.”
But all the hills which, with the hoe, can be weeded, —there shall not come thither, the fear of briars and thorns, —but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the tread of lesser cattle.
