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 comes to pass in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, have gone up to Jerusalem, to battle against it, and he is 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 is declared to the house of David, saying, “Aram has been led toward Ephraim,” and his heart and the heart of his people is moved, like the moving of trees of a forest by the presence of 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 YHWH says to Isaiah, “Now go forth to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-Jashub, to the end of the conduit of the upper pool, to 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 you have said to him: Take heed, and be quiet, do not fear, And do not let your heart be timid, Because of these two tails of smoking brands, For the fierceness of the anger of Rezin and Aram, And the son of Remaliah.
5 eo quod consilium inierit contra te Syria in malum Ephraim, et filius Romeliae, dicentes:
Because that Aram counseled evil against you, Ephraim 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.
We go up into Judah, and we distress it, And we divide it to ourselves, And we cause a king to reign in its midst—The son of Tabeal.
7 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Non stabit, et non erit istud:
Thus said Lord YHWH: It does not stand, nor will it be!
8 sed caput Syriae Damascus, et caput Damasci Rasin: et adhuc sexaginta et quinque anni, et desinet Ephraim esse populus:
For the head of Aram [is] Damascus, And the head of Damascus [is] Rezin, And within sixty-five years Is Ephraim broken from [being] 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] the son of Remaliah. If you do not give credence, Surely you are not steadfast.”
10 Et adiecit Dominus loqui ad Achaz, dicens:
And YHWH adds to speak to Ahaz, saying,
“Ask for a sign from your God YHWH, Make the request deep, or make [it] high upwards.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Et dixit Achaz: Non petam, et non tentabo Dominum.
And Ahaz says, “I do not ask nor try YHWH.”
13 Et dixit: Audite ergo domus David: Numquid parum vobis est, molestos esse hominibus, quia molesti estis et Deo meo?
And he says, “Now hear, O house of David, Is it a little thing for you to weary men, That you also weary my God?
14 Propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum. Ecce virgo concipiet, et pariet filium, et vocabitur nomen eius Emmanuel.
Therefore the Lord Himself gives a sign to you, Behold, the virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a Son, And has called His Name Immanuel,
15 Butyrum et mel comedet, ut sciat reprobare malum, et eligere bonum.
He eats butter and honey, When He knows to refuse evil, and to fix on good.
16 Quia antequam sciat puer reprobare malum, et eligere bonum, derelinquetur terra, quam tu detestaris a facie duorum regum suorum.
For before the youth knows To refuse evil, and to fix on good, The land you are distressed with is forsaken, because of her two 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.
YHWH brings on you, and on your people, And on the house of your father, Days that have not come, Even from the day of the turning aside of Ephraim from Judah, By the king of Asshur.”
18 Et erit in die illa: Sibilabit Dominus muscae, quae est in extremo fluminum Aegypti, et api, quae est in terra Assur,
And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH hisses for a fly that [is] in the extremity of the brooks of Egypt, And for a bee that [is] in the land of Asshur.
19 et venient, et requiescent omnes in torrentibus vallium, et in cavernis petrarum, et in omnibus frutetis, et in universis foraminibus.
And they have come, and all of them rested in the desolate valleys, And in holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, And on all the commendable things.
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 the Lord shaves, By a razor that is hired beyond the river, By the king of Asshur, The head, and the hair of the feet, Indeed, it also consumes the beard.
21 Et erit in die illa: Nutriet homo vaccam boum, et duas oves,
And it has come to pass in that day, A man keeps alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,
22 et prae ubertate lactis comedet butyrum: butyrum enim et mel manducabit omnis qui relictus fuerit in medio terrae.
And it has come to pass, He eats butter from the abundance of the yielding of milk, For everyone who is left in the heart of the land eats 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 has come to pass in that day, Every place where there are one thousand vines, At one thousand pieces of silver, Is for briers and for thorns.
24 Cum sagittis et arcu ingredientur illuc: vepres enim et spinae erunt in universa terra.
He comes there with arrows and with bow, Because all the land is brier and thorn.
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 the hills that are kept in order with a mattock, There does not come [for] fear of brier and thorn, And it has been for the sending forth of ox, And for the treading of sheep!
