Isaiæ 7
1 Et factum est in diebus Achaz filii Ioathan, filii Oziae regis Iuda, ascendit Rasin rex Syriae, et Phacee filius Romeliae rex Israel, in Ierusalem, ad praeliandum 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, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but they were not able to fight 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 allied with Ephraim. Then his heart and the heart of his people shook, as the trees of the forest are shaken with the wind.
3 Et dixit Dominus ad Isaiam: Egredere in occursum Achaz tu, et qui derelictus est Iasub filius tuus, ad extremum aquaeductus piscinae superioris in via Agri fullonis.
And Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, thou and thy son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on 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 Syriae, et filii Romeliae:
and thou shalt say unto him, Take heed and be quiet; fear not, and let not thy heart faint before these two ends of smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 eo quod consilium inierit contra te Syria in malum Ephraim, et filius Romeliae, dicentes:
Inasmuch as Syria hath taken evil counsel against thee, Ephraim [also] and the son of Remaliah, 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 harass it, and make a breach therein for us, and set up a king therein — the son of Tabeal;
7 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Non stabit, et non erit istud:
thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall not stand, nor come to pass;
8 sed caput Syriae 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-five years shall Ephraim be broken, so as to be no [more a] people;
9 et caput Ephraim Samaria, et caput Samariae filius Romeliae. Si non credideritis, non permanebitis.
and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established.
10 Et adiecit Dominus loqui ad Achaz, dicens:
And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God; ask for it in the deep, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
12 Et dixit Achaz: Non petam, et non tentabo Dominum.
And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and will not tempt Jehovah.
13 Et dixit: Audite ergo domus David: Numquid parum vobis est, molestos esse hominibus, quia molesti estis et Deo meo?
And he said, Hear then, house of David: Is it a small matter for you to weary men, that ye weary also my God?
14 Propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum. Ecce virgo concipiet, et pariet filium, et vocabitur nomen eius Emmanuel.
Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and 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 to 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 knoweth to refuse the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings thou fearest shall be forsaken.
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.
Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days which have not come since the day when Ephraim turned away from Judah — [even] the king of Assyria.
18 Et erit in die illa: Sibilabit Dominus muscae, quae est in extremo fluminum Aegypti, et api, quae est in terra Assur,
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly which is at the extremity of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which 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 settle all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorn-bushes, and on all the pastures.
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 that day will the Lord, with a razor which is hired beyond the river, with the king of Assyria, shave the head and the hair of the feet, yea, the beard also will it take away.
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 prae ubertate lactis comedet butyrum: butyrum enim et mel manducabit omnis qui relictus fuerit in medio terrae.
and it shall come to pass, from the abundance of milk they shall give, [that] he shall eat butter; for every one that remaineth in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey.
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, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver pieces, shall become briars and thorns:
24 Cum sagittis et arcu ingredientur illuc: vepres enim et spinae erunt in universa terra.
with arrows and with the bow shall they come thither, for the whole land shall become briars 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 all mountains that have been dug up with the hoe — thither will they not come, from fear of briars and thorns; and they shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of small cattle.
