< Isaayyaas 7 >
1 Bara Aahaaz ilmi Yootaam, ilmi Uziyaan Mootii Yihuudaa turetti, Reziin mootichi Sooriyaatii fi Pheqaan ilmi Remaaliyaa mootichi Israaʼel Yerusaalemiin loluuf itti duulan; garuu ishee moʼachuu hin dandeenye.
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 Yeroo kanattis, “Sooriyaan Efreem wajjin tokkummaa uummatteerti” jedhanii mana Daawititti himan; kanaafuu garaan Aahaaziitii fi garaan saba isaa akkuma mukni bosonaa bubbeedhaan raafamu sana raafame.
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 Kana irratti Waaqayyo Isaayyaasiin akkana jedhe; “Atii fi ilmi kee Sheʼar-Yaashuub dhuma jalʼisii Haroo Ol aanuu kan karaa Lafa qotiisaa namicha wayyaa miicuutti geessu sana biratti Aahaazin simachuuf gad baʼaa.
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 Akkana jedhiin; ‘Of eeggadhu; calʼisi; hin sodaatin. Ati sababii gufuuwwan muka ibiddaa kanneen seeqaa jiran lamaan kanneeniitiif jechuunis sababii aarii Reziin kan Sooriyaatii fi aarii ilma Remaaliyaa hamaa sanaatiif jettee abdii hin kutatin.
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 Sooriyaan, Efreemii fi ilmi Remaaliyaa akkana jedhanii badiisa keetiif mariʼataniiru;
Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have planned evil against you; they have said,
6 “Kottaa Yihuudaatti duullaa; kottaa ishee kukkunnee gargar qooddannaa; ilma Xaabiʼeelis ishee irratti moosifannaa.”
“Let us attack Judah and terrify her, and let us break into her and set up our king there, the son of Tabeel.”
7 Taʼus Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Wanni kun hin raawwatu; wanni kun hin taʼu;
The Lord Yahweh says, “It will not take place; it will not happen,
8 mataan Sooriyaa Damaasqoodhaatii; mataan Damaasqoo immoo Reziinii dha. Waggaa jaatamii shan keessatti, Efreem ni bittinnaaʼa; saba tokko taʼuun isaas ni hafa.
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 Mataan Efreem Samaariyaa dha; mataan Samaariyaa immoo ilma Remaaliyaa ti. Isin yoo amantii keessaniin jabaattanii dhaabachuu baattan; yoom iyyuu hin dhaabattan.’”
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 Waaqayyo amma illee akkana jedhee Aahaazitti dubbate;
The Lord spoke again to Ahaz,
11 “Qilee akka malee gad fagoo keessatti yookaan samii akka malee ol fagoo keessatti, Waaqayyoon Waaqa kee mallattoo gaafadhu.” (Sheol )
“Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask for it in the depths or in the height above.” (Sheol )
12 Aahaaz garuu, “Ani hin gaafadhu; Waaqayyonis hin qoru” jedhe.
But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test Yahweh.”
13 Isaayyaasis akkana jedhe; “Yaa mana Daawit mee dhagaʼaa! Isin obsa namaa qoruun isin hanqatee obsa Waaqa koo qortuu?
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 Kanaafuu Gooftaan mataan isaa mallattoo isiniif kenna: Kunoo durbi tokko ni ulfoofti; ilma ni deessi; Amaanuʼel jettees isa moggaafti.
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 Inni yeroo waan hamaa lagatee waan gaarii filachuu beekutti itittuu fi damma nyaata.
He will eat curds and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
16 Garuu utuu mucaan sun waan hamaa lagatee waan gaarii filachuu hin beekin dura biyyi mootota lamaan ati sodaatte sanaa ni ona.
For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be desolate.
17 Waaqayyo erga Efreem Yihuudaa irraa citee jalqabee bara takkumaa taʼee hin beekin tokko sitti, saba keettii fi mana Abbaa keetiitti ni fida; jechuunis mootii Asoor ni fida.”
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 Bara sana keessa Waaqayyo tisiisota burqaa laga Gibxi keessa jiranii fi kanniisota biyya Asoor siiqsee waama.
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 Hundi isaanii dhufanii dhooqa lafaa keessa, holqa kattaa keessa, daggala qoraattiitii fi boolla bishaanii hunda keessa qubatu.
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 Bara sana keessa Gooftaan haaduu laga gamaa kireeffateen jechuunis mootiin Asoor rifeensa mataa keessanii rifeensa miilla keessaniitii fi areeda keessan ni haada.
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 Bara sana keessa namni tokko goromsa tokkoo fi hoolaa lama qabaata.
On that day, a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep,
22 Sababii baayʼina aannan isaan kennaniif, inni itittuu sooratu qabaata. Namni biyya sanatti hafu hundinuu itittuu fi damma nyaata.
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 Bara sana keessa, lafa mukkeen wayinii kumni tokko kanneen meetii saqilii kuma baasan jiran hunda irra sokorruu fi qoraattii qofatu jiraata.
At that time, where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, there will be nothing but briers and thorns.
24 Sababii lafti sun sokorruu fi qoraattiin guutameef, namoonni iddaa fi xiyya qabatan iyyuu achi dhaqu.
Men will go there to hunt with bows, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
25 Ati sababii sokorruu fi qoraattii sodaattuuf siʼachi gara gaarran kanaan dura gasoon soqamaa turan sanaa hin dhaqxu; isaan lafa loon itti bobbaʼanii fi lafa hoolonni keessa burraaqan taʼu.
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.
