< 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.
During the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but they could not prevail against it.
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.
It was reported to the house of David that Aram was allied with Ephraim. His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest shake in 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 Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-Jashub to meet Ahaz at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the road to 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.
Tell him, 'Be careful, remain calm, do not be afraid or intimidated by these two smoldering firebrands, by the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram, and of Pekah son of Remaliah.
5 Amy fikiniàn-draty nanoe’ i Arame naho i Efraime vaho ty ana’ i Remaliaho ama’oy, ami’ty hoe:
Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have planned evil against you; they have said,
6 Antao hionjoñe haname Iehodà, hampalovilovy aze, hamakian-tika jeba vaho hatroan-tika ty ana’ i Tabeale ho mpanjaka añivo’e ao.
“Let us attack Judah and terrify her, and let us break into her and set up our king there, the son of Tabeel.”
7 Hoe t’Iehovà Talè: Tsy hitroatse re, vaho tsy ho tondroke izay.
The Lord Yahweh says, “It will not take place; 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; )
because the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years, Ephraim will be shattered and will no longer be 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 Remaliah's son. If you do not remain firm in faith, surely you will not remain secure.”'”
10 Aa le nitsara amy Akhaze indraike t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
The Lord spoke again to Ahaz,
11 Mihalalia viloñe am’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o; ke ami’ty halale’ i tsikeokeokey, he ami’ty haabo i likerañey. (Sheol h7585)
“Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask for it in the depths or in the height above.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Aa hoe t’i Akhaze: Izaho tsy hihalaly, tsy hitsoke ­Iehovà.
But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test Yahweh.”
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?
So Isaiah replied, “Listen, house of David. Is it not enough for you people to test the patience of people? Must you also test the patience of my God?
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 people a sign: See, the young woman will conceive, bear a son, and will call his name Immanuel.
15 Habobo naho tantele ty ho hane’e ampara’ te fohi’e ty mikiho ty raty, vaho hijoboñe ty soa.
He will eat curds and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
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 child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be desolate.
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.
Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house days unlike any since Ephraim seceded from Judah—he will bring on you 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.
At that time Yahweh will whistle for a fly from the distant streams of Egypt, and for a bee from 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.
They will all come and settle down into all the gorges, into the clefts of the rocks, on all the thornbushes, and onto all the pastures.
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.
At that time the Lord will shave with a razor that was hired beyond the Euphrates River—the king of Assyria— the head and the hair of the legs; it will also sweep away the beard.
21 Ho tondroke amy andro zay te hihare kiloa raike naho añondry roe t’indaty;
On that day, a man will keep alive 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 because of the abundance of milk which they shall give, he will eat curds, for everyone left 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.
At that time, where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, there will be nothing but briers and thorns.
24 Hinday fale rekets’ ana-pale ze homb’eo, amy te ho ropiteke naho fatike avao i taney.
Men will go there to hunt with bows, because all the land will be 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.
They will stay away from all the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, for fear of the briers and thorns; but it will be a place where cattle and sheep graze.
