< Isaias 7 >

1 Kadagidi aldaw ni Ahaz a putot ni Jotam a putot ni Uzzias, nga ari ti Juda, simmang-at da Rezin nga ari ti Aram ken ni Peka a putot ni Remalias nga ari ti Israel idiay Jerusalem a manggubat iti daytoy, ngem saanda a maparmek daytoy.
Now in the days that Ahaz son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, Rezin king of Aram marched up to wage war against Jerusalem. He was accompanied by Pekah son of Remaliah the king of Israel, but he could not overpower the city.
2 Naipakaammo iti balay ni David a nakikadua ti Aram iti Efraim. Kasta unay ti butengna, ken uray dagiti tattaona ket uray la agpigerger gapu iti buteng, kasla da la kaykayo iti kabakiran a ginunggon ti angin.
When it was reported to the house of David that Aram was in league with Ephraim, the hearts of Ahaz and his people trembled like trees in the forest shaken by the wind.
3 Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Isaias, “Rummuarka a kaduam ti putotmo lalaki a ni Sear Jasub ket inkayo sabten ni Ahaz iti murdong ti kanal iti akinngato a pagurnongan ti danum, iti dalan a mapan iti tay-ak ti Aglablaba iti lupot.
Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-jashub to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct that feeds the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field,
4 Ibagam kenkuana, 'Agannadka, saanka nga agdanag, dika agbuteng kadagitoy dua a kayo nga umas-asok, iti nalaus a pungtot ni Rezin, ni Aram, ken ni Peka a putot ni Remalias.
and say to him: Calm down and be quiet. Do not be afraid or disheartened over these two smoldering stubs of firewood—over the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.
5 Nagpanggep iti kinadakes a maibusor kenka da Aram, Efraim, ken Rezin a putot ni Remalias; kinunada,
For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
6 “Rautentayo ti Juda ken butbutngentayo daytoy, serkentayo daytyoy ket isaadtayo sadiay ti putot ni Tabeel kas aritayo.”
‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
7 Kinuna ni Apo a Yahweh, “Saan a mapasamak daytoy; saan a maaramid daytoy,
But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
8 gapu ta ti ulo ti Aram ket ti Damasco, ken ti ulo ti Damasco ket ni Rezin. Iti las-ud iti 65 a tawen, maparmekto ti Efraim ket saandanton a maibilang a maysa a nasion.
For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be shattered as a people.
9 Ti ulo ti Efraim ket ti Samaria, ken ti ulo ti Samaria ket ti putot ni Remalias. No saan nga agtalinaed a natibker ti pammatiyo, sigurado a saankayonto nga agtalinaed a natalged.”'”
The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you do not stand firm in your faith, then you will not stand at all.’”
10 Nagsao manen ti Apo kenni Ahaz,
Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,
11 “Dumawatka iti pagilasinan kenni Yahweh a Diosmo; dawatem kenkuana daytoy iti kaunggan wenno iti kangatoan.” (Sheol h7585)
“Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Ngem kinuna ni Ahaz, “Saanak a dumawat ken saanko a padasen ni Yahweh.”
But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
13 Isu a simmungbat ni Isaias, “Dumngegka, O balay ni David. Saan kadi nga umanay kenka ti panangpadasmo iti kinaanus ti tattao? Masapul kadi pay a padasem ti kinaanus ti Diosko?
Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God as well?
14 Ngarud, mismo a ti Apo ti mangted kenka iti pagilasinan: kitaem, agsikogto ti maysa a babai, agpasngayto iti maysa a lalaki, ket mapanagananto iti Immanuel.
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.
15 Manganto isuna iti gatas ken diro inton ammonan nga agkedked nga agaramid iti dakes ken pilienna ti kinaimbag.
By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
16 Ta sakbay a maammoan ti ubing ti agkedked nga agaramid iti dakes ken pilienna ti kinaimbag, agbalinto a langalang ti daga dagiti dua nga ari a pagbutbutngam.
For before the boy knows enough to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.
17 Iyegto ni Yahweh kenka ken kadagiti tattaom ken iti balay ti amam dagiti aldaw nga awan kapadana sipud pay idi simmina ti Efraim iti Juda—iyegnanto a maibusor kenka ti Ari ti Asiria.
The LORD will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since the day Ephraim separated from Judah—He will bring the king of Assyria.”
18 Iti dayta a tempo, paswitanto ni Yahweh ti maysa a ngilaw manipud kadagiti adayo a karayan ti Egipto, ken maysa nga alimbubuyog manipud iti daga ti Asiria.
On that day the LORD will whistle to the flies at the farthest streams of the Nile and to the bees in the land of Assyria.
19 Umaydanto amin agnaed kadagiti amin a tanap, kadagiti rangkis a batbato, kadagiti siit-siitan a mulmula, ken kadagiti amin a pagpaaraban.
And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
20 Iti dayta a tiempo, kuskusanto ti Apo babaen iti labahas nga inabanganna iti ballasiw ti Karayan Eufrates—ti Ari ti Asiria— kuskosannanto ti ulom, dagiti buok kadagiti luppom; kuskosennanto pay ti barbasmo.
On that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates —the king of Assyria—to shave your head and the hair of your legs, and to remove your beard as well.
21 Iti dayta nga aldaw, mangibatinto ti maysa a tao iti maysa a sibibiag nga urbon a baka ken dua a karnero,
On that day a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
22 ket gapu iti aglaplapusanan a gatas nga itedda, manganto isuna iti gatas, gapu ta manganto iti gatas ken diro dagiti amin a nabati iti daga.
and from the abundance of milk they give, he will eat curds; for all who remain in the land will eat curds and honey.
23 Iti dayta a tiempo, tunggal disso nga adda iti sangaribo a kaubasan nga aggatad iti sangaribo a pirak a sekel, ket awanto ti mabati no di laeng sisiitan a mula ken kalkalunay.
And on that day, in every place that had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels of silver, only briers and thorns will be found.
24 Mapanto dagiti tattao sadiay nga aganup babaen kadagiti panada, gapu ta agbalinto a sisiitan ken kakalkalunayan dayta a daga.
Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
25 Umadayodanto kadagiti turturod a nasukay iti gabyon, gapu iti panagbuteng kadagiti siit ken kalkalunay; ngem agbalinto daytoy a pagaraban dagiti baka ken karnero.
For fear of the briers and thorns, you will no longer traverse the hills once tilled by the hoe; they will become places for oxen to graze and sheep to trample.
