Isaiah 7
1 Ke Tokosra Ahaz, wen natul Jotham ac nutin natul Uzziah, el leumi Judah, oasr sie mweun. Tokosra Rezin lun Syria, ac Tokosra Pekah, wen natul Remaliah lun Israel, elos tukeni som mweuni acn Jerusalem, tusruktu elos koflana sruokya.
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 Ke pweng uh sonol tokosra lun Judah lah un mwet mweun lun acn Syria elos sun tari acn Israel, el ac mwet lal nukewa arulana fosrngala, oru elos rarrar oana sak kusrusryak ke eng uh.
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 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Isaiah, “Eisal Shear Jashub, wen nutum, ac fahla sonol Tokosra Ahaz. Kom ac konalak ke inkanek yen mwet orek nuknuk elos orekma we, ke saflaiyen laf in kof ma soror liki inlulu lucng ah me.
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 Fahk nu sel elan akngusrikye, oakwuki na muta, ac tia sensen ku fohsak. Mulat lal Tokosra Rezin ac mwet Syria, oayapa Tokosra Pekah, oana wosr luo ma oanna fofosr — tiana mwe sensen.
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 Mwet Syria, wi mwet Israel ac tokosra lalos, tukeni orala sie pwapa koluk.
For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
6 Elos akola in mweuni Judah, ac aksangengye mwet we in welulosla lac, na elos ac akleumyauk wen se natul Tabeel elan tokosrala.
‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
7 “Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fahkak lah ma se inge ac fah tiana sikyak.
But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
8 Efu? Mweyen Syria el tia ku liki Damascus, siti lulap lal, ac Damascus el tia ku lukel Tokosra Rezin. Ac funu Israel, inmasrlon na yac onngoul limekosr ac fah arulana musalla acn we, tia sifil oaoa mu mutunfacl se pa el.
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 Israel el tia ku liki Samaria, siti lulap lal, ac Samaria el tia pac ku lukel Tokosra Pekah. “Lulalfongi lowos fin tia oakwuki ku, kowos ac tia pac ku in okak.”
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 LEUM GOD El supwala soko pac sap nu sel Ahaz,
Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,
11 ac fahk, “Siyuk sin LEUM GOD lom Elan sot sie akul nu sum — ac ku in tuku liki acn loal faclu in facl sin mwet misa, ku liki acn fulat lucng inkusrao.” (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 Na Ahaz el topuk, “Nga fah tiana siyuk ke sie mwe akul. Nga fah tiana srike LEUM GOD luk.”
But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
13 Na Isaiah el fahk, “Inge porongeyu, kowos fwilin tulik natul David. Ma na koluk se ke kowos oru mwet uh in semutengla. Ya kowos ac oru God Elan semutengla pac?
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 Leum sifacna El ac fah sot sie akul nu suwos. Sie mutan fusr su pitutu el ac fah oswela sie wen, ac sang inel ‘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 Ke pacl se tulik sac matula, ac ku in sifacna sulela inmasrlon ma wo ac ma koluk, el ac fah nim milk ac mongo honey.
By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
16 Tusruktu meet liki pacl sacn, facl sin tokosra luo ma aksangengye kowos ingan ac fah wanginla mwet we.
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 “LEUM GOD El ac fah use nu fom, ac nu fin mwet lom ac nu fin sou in leum, len in ongoiya ma koluk liki na ma sikyak tukun pacl se tokosrai lun Israel sriyukla liki Judah — El ac fah use tokosra lun Assyria in lain kom.
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 “Ke pacl sac ac tuku, LEUM GOD El ac osla nu sin mwet Egypt in tuku oana loang uh liki sungan infacl puspis yen loessula ke Infacl Nile, ac nu sin mwet Assyria in tuku liki facl selos oana loanginyeir uh.
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 Elos ac osralik acn nukewa infahlfal uh ac ke luf inmasrlon eot uh, ac elos ac afunla sak nukewa oasr otoh kac oayapa sroan mah nukewa.
And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
20 “Ke pacl sac, Leum El ac molema sie mwet kalkul lefahlo ke Infacl Euphrates — aok, tokosra fulat lun Assyria — su ac fah resaela alut lowos, aunsifowos ac monuwos nufon.
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 “Ke pacl sac ac tuku, finne cow fusr sokofanna ac nani lukwa nutin mwet ima se,
On that day a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
22 ac yolyak milk kaclos in akfalye enenu lal nukewa. Aok, mwet pu su painmoulla in facl sac fah oasr milk ac honey nalos.
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 “Ke pacl sac ac tuku, ima in grape wowo uh — kais sie ima inge oasr sie tausin oa in grape kac su molo oasr ke sie tausin ipin silver-ac fah kupoi ke kokul.
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 Mwet uh ac us mwe pisr natulos ac som sruh kosro we. Aok, facl sac nufon ac fah nwanala ke mah kokul.
Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
25 Inging nukewa ma tuh imaiyuk meet, ac kupoi ke kokul, pwanang wangin mwet ac sifil som nu we. Ac fah acn in na mongo lun cow ac sheep.”
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.
