< U-Isaya 7 >
1 Kwasekusithi ensukwini zikaAhazi indodana kaJothamu, indodana kaUziya inkosi yakoJuda, uRezini inkosi yeSiriya kanye loPheka indodana kaRemaliya inkosi yakoIsrayeli wenyukela eJerusalema ukuya empini emelene layo, kodwa kabangalakho ukulwa layo ngokuphumelelayo.
And it was in [the] days of Ahaz [the] son of Jotham [the] son of Uzziah [the] king of Judah he went up Rezin [the] king of Aram and Pekah [the] son of Remaliah [the] king of Israel Jerusalem for battle on it and not he was able to engage in battle on it.
2 Kwasekubikwa endlini kaDavida ukuthi iSiriya ihlangene loEfrayimi; inhliziyo yakhe lenhliziyo yabantu bakhe zasezinyikinyeka njengezihlahla zegusu zinyikinywa ngumoya.
And it was told to [the] house of David saying it has stood Aram with Ephraim and it shook heart his and [the] heart of people his as shake [the] trees of [the] forest from before a wind.
3 INkosi yasisithi kuIsaya: Ake uphume uyehlangabeza uAhazi, wena loSheyari-Yashubi indodana yakho, ekucineni komfolo wechibi elingaphezulu, emgwaqweni omkhulu wensimu yomwatshi,
And he said Yahweh to Isaiah go out please to meet Ahaz you and Shear-jashub son your to [the] end of [the] conduit of the pool upper to [the] highway of [the] field of [the] washer.
4 uthi kuye: Nanzelela, uthule, ungesabi, lenhliziyo yakho ingabi buthakathaka ngenxa yemisila emibili yalezizikhuni ezithunqayo, ngenxa yokuvutha kolaka lukaRezini leSiriya, lendodana kaRemaliya.
And you will say to him take care and show quietness may not you be afraid and heart your may not it be weak from [the] two [the] stumps of pieces of firewood smoking these by [the] heat of [the] anger of Rezin and Aram and [the] son of Remaliah.
5 Ngenxa yokuthi iSiriya, uEfrayimi, lendodana kaRemaliya, bacebise okubi ngawe, besithi:
Because for it has planned on you Aram harm Ephraim and [the] son of Remaliah saying.
6 Asenyukele koJuda, simesabise, sizifohlelele kuye, sibeke inkosi phakathi kwakhe, indodana kaTabeyeli.
Let us go up on Judah and let us demolish it and let us break into it to ourselves and let us make king a king in [the] midst of it [the] son of Tabeel.
7 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kakuyikuma, njalo kakuyikwenzeka.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not it will stand and not it will happen.
8 Ngoba inhloko yeSiriya yiDamaseko, lenhloko yeDamaseko nguRezini; laphakathi kuseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha lanhlanu uEfrayimi uzakwephulwa, angabi yisizwe.
For [is] [the] head of Aram Damascus and [is] [the] head of Damascus Rezin and in yet sixty and five year[s] it will be shattered Ephraim from a people.
9 Njalo inhloko kaEfrayimi yiSamariya, lenhloko yeSamariya yindodana kaRemaliya. Uba lingakholwa, isibili kaliyikuqiniswa.
And [is] [the] head of Ephraim Samaria and [is] [the] head of Samaria [the] son of Remaliah if not you will believe for not you will be established.
10 INkosi yasiqhubeka ikhuluma kuAhazi isithi:
And he repeated Yahweh to speak to Ahaz saying.
11 Zicelele isibonakaliso eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho; cela ekujuleni loba ekuphakameni phezulu. (Sheol )
Ask for yourself a sign from with Yahweh God your make deep [as] Sheol or make high upwards. (Sheol )
12 Kodwa uAhazi wathi: Kangiyikucela, kangiyikulinga iNkosi.
And he said Ahaz not I will ask and not I will put to [the] test Yahweh.
13 Wasesithi: Zwana-ke, ndlu kaDavida; kuyinto encinyane kakhulu kuwe yini ukuthi udinise abantu, ukuthi udinise loNkulunkulu wami?
And he said hear please O house of David ¿ [too] little for you [is] to make weary people that you will make weary also God my.
14 Ngakho iNkosi uqobo izalinika isibonakaliso: Khangela, intombi emsulwa izathatha isisu, ibelethe indodana, ibize ibizo layo ngokuthi nguEmanuweli.
Therefore he will give [the] Lord he to you a sign there! the young woman [will be] pregnant and [will] bear a son and she will call name his Immanu-el.
15 Uzakudla amasi loluju, aze azi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle.
Curd and honey he will eat to knowing his to reject the evil and to choose the good.
16 Ngoba umntwana engakakwazi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle, ilizwe onengwa yilo lizatshiywa ngamakhosi alo amabili.
For before he will know the lad to reject the evil and to choose the good it will be forsaken the land which you [are] feeling dread of [the] two kings its.
17 INkosi izaletha phezu kwakho laphezu kwabantu bakho laphezu kwendlu kayihlo insuku ezingezanga kusukela osukwini uEfrayimi asuka ngalo koJuda; yinkosi yeAsiriya.
He will bring Yahweh on you and on people your and on [the] house of father your days which not they have come from [the] day departed Ephraim from with Judah [the] king of Assyria.
18 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku iNkosi itshaye ikhwelo empukaneni esephethelweni lwemifula yeGibhithe, lenyosini eselizweni leAsiriya.
And it will be - in the day that he will whistle Yahweh for the fly which [is] at [the] end of [the] canals of Egypt and for the bee which [is] in [the] land of Assyria.
19 Zizakuza-ke, ziphumule zonke ezigodini zamawa, lezingoxweni zamadwala, lezihlahleni zonke zameva, lemadlelweni wonke.
And they will come and they will settle all of them in [the] wadis of the cliffs and in [the] clefts of the rocks and on all the thornbushes and in all the watering-places.
20 Ngalolosuku iNkosi izaphuca ngensingo eyebolekwe, phetsheya komfula, ngenkosi yeAsiriya, ikhanda loboya bezinyawo, futhi ihluthune lendevu.
In the day that he will shave [the] Lord with a razor hired on [the] other sides [the] River with [the] king of Assyria the head and [the] hair of the feet and also the beard it will sweep away.
21 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku umuntu uzagcina kuphila ithokazi lezimvu ezimbili;
And it will be in the day that he will preserve alive a person a heifer of [the] herd and two sheep.
22 kuzakuthi-ke ngenxa yobunengi bochago ezilwehlisayo adle amasi; yebo, wonke oseleyo phakathi kwelizwe uzakudla amasi loluju.
And it will be from [the] abundance of producing of milk he will eat curd for curd and honey he will eat every [one who] remains in [the] midst of the land.
23 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, yonke indawo lapho okwakukhona amavini ayinkulungwane ngenhlamvu zesiliva eziyinkulungwane, kube ngokwameva lokhula oluhlabayo.
And it will be in the day that it will be every place where it was there a thousand vine[s] for a thousand silver the thorn[s] and the> bush[es] it will become.
24 Bazakuya khona ngemitshoko langedandili, ngoba ilizwe lonke lizakuba ngameva lokhula oluhlabayo.
With arrows and with bow anyone will go there for thorn[s] and bush[es] it will be all the land.
25 Lazo zonke izintaba ezazilinywa ngekhuba kabayikuya kuzo ngokwesaba ameva lokhula oluhlabayo; kodwa kuzakuba ngokokungenisa inkabi lokokunyathelwa yizimvu.
And all the hills which with the hoe they were hoed! not you will go there fear of thorn[s] and bush[es] and it will become pastureland of ox[en] and a trampling place of sheep.
