Isaiæ 7
1 Et factum est in diebus Achaz filii Ioathan, filii Oziæ regis Iuda, ascendit Rasin rex Syriæ, et Phacee filius Romeliæ rex Israel, in Ierusalem, ad præliandum contra eam: et non potuerunt debellare eam.
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 Et nunciaverunt domui David, dicentes: Requievit Syria super Ephraim, et commotum est cor eius, et cor populi eius, sicut moventur ligna silvarum a facie venti.
And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved with the wind.
3 Et dixit Dominus ad Isaiam: Egredere in occursum Achaz tu, et qui derelictus est Iasub filius tuus, ad extremum aquæductus piscinæ superioris in via agri fullonis.
Then said the LORD to Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field;
4 Et dices ad eum: Vide ut sileas: noli timere, et cor tuum ne formidet a duabus caudis titionum fumigantium istorum in ira furoris Rasin regis Syriæ, et filii Romeliæ:
And say to him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 eo quod consilium inierit contra te Syria in malum Ephraim, et filius Romeliæ, dicentes:
Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
6 Ascendamus ad Iudam, et suscitemus eum, et avellamus eum ad nos, et ponamus regem in medio eius filium Tabeel.
Let us go up against Judah, and trouble it, and let us conquer it for ourselves and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:
7 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non stabit, et non erit istud:
Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
8 sed caput Syriæ Damascus, et caput Damasci Rasin: et adhuc sexaginta et quinque anni, et desinet Ephraim esse populus:
For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
9 et caput Ephraim Samaria, et caput Samariæ filius Romeliæ. Si non credideritis, non permanebitis.
And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
10 Et adiecit Dominus loqui ad Achaz, dicens:
Moreover the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Ask thee a sign from the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
12 Et dixit Achaz: Non petam, et non tentabo Dominum.
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
13 Et dixit: Audite ergo domus David: Numquid parum vobis est, molestos esse hominibus, quia molesti estis et Deo meo?
And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
14 Propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum. Ecce virgo concipiet, et pariet filium, et vocabitur nomen eius Emmanuel.
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15 Butyrum et mel comedet, ut sciat reprobare malum, et eligere bonum.
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16 Quia antequam sciat puer reprobare malum, et eligere bonum, derelinquetur terra, quam tu detestaris a facie duorum regum suorum.
For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken by both her kings.
17 Adducet Dominus super te, et super populum tuum, et super domum patris tui dies, qui non venerunt a diebus separationis Ephraim a Iuda cum rege Assyriorum.
The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
18 Et erit in die illa: Sibilabit Dominus muscæ, quæ est in extremo fluminum Ægypti, et api, quæ est in terra Assur,
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 et venient, et requiescent omnes in torrentibus vallium, et in cavernis petrarum, et in omnibus frutetis, et in universis foraminibus.
And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
20 In die illa radet Dominus in novacula conducta in his, qui trans flumen sunt, in rege Assyriorum, caput et pilos pedum, et barbam universam.
In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
21 Et erit in die illa: Nutriet homo vaccam boum, et duas oves,
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
22 et præ ubertate lactis comedet butyrum: butyrum enim et mel manducabit omnis qui relictus fuerit in medio terræ.
And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
23 Et erit in die illa: Omnis locus ubi fuerint mille vites, mille argenteis, in spinas et in vepres erunt.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand pieces of silver, it shall even be for briers and thorns.
24 Cum sagittis et arcu ingredientur illuc: vepres enim et spinæ erunt in universa terra.
With arrows and with bows shall men come there; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
25 Et omnes montes, qui in sarculo sarrientur, non veniet illuc terror spinarum et veprium. Et erit in pascua bovis, et in conculcationem pecoris.
And on all hills that shall be dug with the mattock, there shall not come there the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
