< 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.
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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 Nagpanggep iti kinadakes a maibusor kenka da Aram, Efraim, ken Rezin a putot ni Remalias; kinunada,
Aram has plotted to destroy you together with Ephraim and Remaliah's son saying,
6 “Rautentayo ti Juda ken butbutngentayo daytoy, serkentayo daytyoy ket isaadtayo sadiay ti putot ni Tabeel kas aritayo.”
Let's go and attack Judah! We'll terrorize it and conquer it for ourselves, and make Tabeel's son its king.”
7 Kinuna ni Apo a Yahweh, “Saan a mapasamak daytoy; saan a maaramid daytoy,
But this is what the Lord God says, “This plan won't materialize—it just won't 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. In addition, within sixty-five years Israel as a nation will be destroyed.
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 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 Nagsao manen ti Apo kenni Ahaz,
Later the Lord sent another message to Ahaz,
11 “Dumawatka iti pagilasinan kenni Yahweh a Diosmo; dawatem kenkuana daytoy iti kaunggan wenno iti kangatoan.” (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 Ngem kinuna ni Ahaz, “Saanak a dumawat ken saanko a padasen ni Yahweh.”
“No, I'm not going to ask,” Ahaz replied. “I refuse to put the Lord to the test.”
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, “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 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.
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 Manganto isuna iti gatas ken diro inton ammonan nga agkedked nga agaramid iti dakes ken pilienna ti kinaimbag.
He will eat curds and honey until the time he knows to refuse evil and choose the good.
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 to refuse evil and choose the good, the land of the two kings you're afraid of will be deserted.
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 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 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.
At that time the Lord will whistle to call flies from the distant rivers of Egypt and bees from the country of Assyria.
19 Umaydanto amin agnaed kadagiti amin a tanap, kadagiti rangkis a batbato, kadagiti siit-siitan a mulmula, ken kadagiti amin a pagpaaraban.
They will all come and descend on the steep valleys and rock crevices, on all the thorn bushes and waterholes.
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.
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 Iti dayta nga aldaw, mangibatinto ti maysa a tao iti maysa a sibibiag nga urbon a baka ken dua a karnero,
At that time a someone who manages to keep a young cow and two sheep alive
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.
will eat curds, because they produce so much milk—for everyone who survives 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.
At that time everywhere that once had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels will only have brambles and thorns.
24 Mapanto dagiti tattao sadiay nga aganup babaen kadagiti panada, gapu ta agbalinto a sisiitan ken kakalkalunayan dayta a daga.
People will go hunting there with bows and arrows because the land will be covered with brambles 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.
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.
