< Isaia 7 >
1 Tondroke tañandro’ i Akhaze ana’ i Otame, ana’ i Ozià, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, te nionjoñe haname Ierosalaime t’i Retsine mpanjaka’ i Arame naho i Pèkae ana’ i Remaliàho, mpanjaka’ Israele, f’ie tsy naharotsake aze.
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 Natalily amy anjomba’ i Davidey ty hoe: Nitraok’ amy Efraime t’i Arame. Le ninevenevetse ty arofo’e naho ty arofo’ ondati’eo, manahake ty fañezeñezeñan-tioke o hatae añ’alao.
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 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà am’Iesaià, Akia henaneo, mifanalakà amy Akhaze, ihe naho i Sear’iasobe ana’o, am-pigadoña’ ty talaha’ i antara amboney, an-damo’ i tondam-panasay eo;
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 le isaontsio ty hoe: Mitaoa, mianjiña, ko hembañe, ko mangonotse ty amy foroha mahatoeñe roe rey, ami’ty fidabadoà’ i Retsine rekets’ i Arame, naho ty ana’ i Remaliaho.
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 Amy fikiniàn-draty nanoe’ i Arame naho i Efraime vaho ty ana’ i Remaliaho ama’oy, ami’ty hoe:
For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
6 Antao hionjoñe haname Iehodà, hampalovilovy aze, hamakian-tika jeba vaho hatroan-tika ty ana’ i Tabeale ho mpanjaka añivo’e ao.
‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
7 Hoe t’Iehovà Talè: Tsy hitroatse re, vaho tsy ho tondroke izay.
But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
8 I Damesèke ty loha’ i Arame, I Retsine ty loha’ i Damesèke; (le añate ty taoñe enem-polo lim’ amby ty hikorovoha’ i Efraime tsy ho ondaty ka; )
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 Fehe’ i Someròne t’i Efraime, le fehè’ ty ana’ i Remaliaho ty Someròne. Aa naho tsy gañe ty fatokisa’areo, le toe tsy hioreñe.
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 Aa le nitsara amy Akhaze indraike t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,
11 Mihalalia viloñe am’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o; ke ami’ty halale’ i tsikeokeokey, he ami’ty haabo i likerañey. (Sheol )
“Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.” (Sheol )
12 Aa hoe t’i Akhaze: Izaho tsy hihalaly, tsy hitsoke Iehovà.
But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
13 Aa le hoe re: Janjiño arè ry anjomba’ i Davide: Loho kede ama’areo hao ty hanosotse ondaty, kanao tsohe’ areo ka ty fahaliñisan’ Añahareko?
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 I Talè arè ro hanolo-biloñe anahareo: Heheke! hiareñe i somondraray, naho hitoly ana-dahy, vaho hatao’e Imanoele ty añara’e.
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 Habobo naho tantele ty ho hane’e ampara’ te fohi’e ty mikiho ty raty, vaho hijoboñe ty soa.
By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
16 Aolo’ ty haharendreha’ i ajajay ty hitribahatse ty raty, hijoboña’e ty soa, le ho farieñe ty tane’ i mpanjaka roe irevendreveña’o rey.
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 Hasese’ Iehovà ama’o naho am’ondati’oo naho aman’ anjomban-droae’o ty mpanjaka’ i Asore, ami’ty andro mbe lia’e tsy nifetsake sikal’ami’ty nienga’ i Efraime t’Iehodà.
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 Ho tendreke amy andro zay te ho tiofe’ Iehovà i laletse añ’olo’ i saka’ i Mitsraimey naho i rene-tantele an-tane’ i Asorey.
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 Homb’eo iereo hipetake amo goledoñe bangiñeo naho an-tsifi’ o vatoo naho amy ze atao fatike vaho amo tane fiandrazañe iabio.
And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
20 Amy andro zay, le ho hitsifa’ i Talè ami’ty fiharatse nikaramae’e boak’ alafe’ i Sakay añe, (i mpanjaka’ i Asorey ‘nio), ty maroin’añambone naho ty volon-tomboke, vaho hafaha’e ka ty tanteahetse.
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 Ho tondroke amy andro zay te hihare kiloa raike naho añondry roe t’indaty;
On that day a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
22 Eka, ho tendreke te, ami’ty hamaro ronono homei’e le hikama deron-kabobo re; toe hikama habobo naho tantele ze hene sehanga’e amy taney.
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 Ho tondroke amy andro zay te ze toetse amam-bahem-baloboke arivo, mañeva volafoty arivo, ty ho hisatse naho fatike avao.
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 Hinday fale rekets’ ana-pale ze homb’eo, amy te ho ropiteke naho fatike avao i taney.
Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
25 Ze hene tamboho nitrabahe’ ty fangaly taolo le tsy homba’o ami’ty fatahora’o fatike naho ahe-draty, le ho fiandrazan’ añombe naho fandialiàn’ añondry ty ao.
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.
