< 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.
And it cometh to pass in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, gone up hath Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to Jerusalem, to battle against it, and he is not able to fight 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.
And it is declared to the house of David, saying, 'Aram hath been led towards 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 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;
And Jehovah saith unto Isaiah, 'Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-Jashub thy son, unto the end of the conduit of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fuller'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 thou hast said unto him: 'Take heed, and be quiet, fear not, And let not thy 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 Amy fikiniàn-draty nanoe’ i Arame naho i Efraime vaho ty ana’ i Remaliaho ama’oy, ami’ty hoe:
Because that Aram counselled against thee evil, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying:
6 Antao hionjoñe haname Iehodà, hampalovilovy aze, hamakian-tika jeba vaho hatroan-tika ty ana’ i Tabeale ho mpanjaka añivo’e ao.
We go up into Judah, and we vex it, And we rend it unto ourselves, And we cause a king to reign in its midst — The son of Tabeal.
7 Hoe t’Iehovà Talè: Tsy hitroatse re, vaho tsy ho tondroke izay.
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It doth not stand, nor shall it be!
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, And within sixty and five years Is Ephraim broken from [being] 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.
And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, And the head of Samaria [is] the son of Remaliah. If ye do not give credence, Surely ye are not stedfast.'
10 Aa le nitsara amy Akhaze indraike t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And Jehovah addeth to speak unto Ahaz, saying:
11 Mihalalia viloñe am’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o; ke ami’ty halale’ i tsikeokeokey, he ami’ty haabo i likerañey. (Sheol h7585)
'Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God, Make deep the request, or make [it] high upwards.' (Sheol h7585)
12 Aa hoe t’i Akhaze: Izaho tsy hihalaly, tsy hitsoke ­Iehovà.
And Ahaz saith, 'I do not ask nor try Jehovah.'
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?
And he saith, 'Hear, I pray you, O house of David, Is it a little thing for you to weary men, That ye weary also 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 giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel,
15 Habobo naho tantele ty ho hane’e ampara’ te fohi’e ty mikiho ty raty, vaho hijoboñe ty soa.
Butter and honey he doth eat, When he knoweth to refuse evil, and to fix on 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 youth doth know To refuse evil, and to fix on good, Forsaken is the land thou art vexed with, because of her two kings.
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.
Jehovah bringeth on thee, and on thy people, And on the house of thy father, Days that have not come, Even from the day of the turning aside of Ephraim from Judah, By the king of Asshur.
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.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah doth hiss 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 Homb’eo iereo hipetake amo goledoñe bangiñeo naho an-tsifi’ o vatoo naho amy ze atao fatike vaho amo tane fiandrazañe iabio.
And they have come, and rested all of them in the desolate valleys, And in holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, And on all the commendable things.
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.
In that day doth the Lord shave, By a razor that is hired beyond the river, By the king of Asshur, The head, and the hair of the feet, Yea, also the beard it consumeth.
21 Ho tondroke amy andro zay te hihare kiloa raike naho añondry roe t’indaty;
And it hath come to pass, in that day, A man keepeth alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,
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 it hath come to pass, From the abundance of the yielding of milk he eateth butter, For butter and honey doth every one eat Who is left in the heart of the land.
23 Ho tondroke amy andro zay te ze toetse amam-bahem-baloboke arivo, mañeva volafoty arivo, ty ho hisatse naho fatike avao.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, Every place where there are a thousand vines, At a thousand silverlings, Is for briers and for thorns.
24 Hinday fale rekets’ ana-pale ze homb’eo, amy te ho ropiteke naho fatike avao i taney.
With arrows and with bow he cometh thither, Because all the land is brier and thorn.
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.
And all the hills that with a mattock are kept in order, Thither cometh not the fear of brier and thorn, And it hath been for the sending forth of ox, And for the treading of sheep!'
