< Isaya 7 >
1 Siku zile wakati Ahazi mtoto wa Yothani mtoto wa Uzia, mfalme wa Yuda, Rezeni mfalme wa Amramu, na Peka mtoto wa Remaelia, mfalme wa Israeli, walienda Yerusalemu kupigana vita nao, lakini hawakuweza kushinda vita.
And it was don in the daies of Achas, the sone of Joathan, the sone of Osias, kyng of Juda, Rasyn, the kyng of Sirie, and Facee, the sone of Romelie, the kyng of Israel, stieden to Jerusalem, for to fiyte ayens it; and thei myyten not ouercome it.
2 Ilitaarifiwa kwa nyumba ya Daudi kwamba Amramu amejiunga na Efraimu. Moyo wake na moyo watu wake ukatetemeka, kama vile miti ya misitu inavyopepea kwa upepo.
And thei telden to the hous of Dauid, and seiden, Sirie hath restid on Effraym, and the herte of hym and of his puple was mouyd togidere, as the trees of wodis ben mouyd of the face of the wynd.
3 Ndipo Yahwe akamwambia Isaya, ''Nenda nje na kijana wako, Sheari Jashubu ukaonane na Ahazi mwisho wa mfereji wa birika la juu, katika njia kuu ya uwanja Dobi.
And the Lord seide to Isaie, Go thou out, and Jasub, thi sone, which is left, in to the meetyng of Achas, at the laste ende of the water cundijt of the hiyere cisterne, in the weie of the feeld of the fullere.
4 Mwambie, 'awe makini, awe mtulivu, asiogope au vitisho kwa sababu ya mikia hii miwili ya vingi hivi vitokavyo moshi, kwa sababu ya hasira kubwa ya Resini na Amramu, na mtoto wa Remalia.
And thou schalt seie to hym, Se thou, that thou be stille; nyle thou drede, and thin herte be not aferd of twei tailis of these brondis smokynge in the wraththe of woodnesse, of Rasyn, kynge of Sirie, and of the sone of Romelye.
5 Amramu, Ephraimu, na mtoto wa Remaeli wamepanga mabaya juu yako; wamesema, '' njooni tuwavamie Yuda na kuwaogopesha,
For Sirie, and Effraym, and the sone of Romelie, han bigunne yuel councel ayens thee, and seien, Stie we to Juda,
6 njooni tujipange na tumueweke mfalme wetu ndani ya Yuda, mtoto wa Tabaeli.''
and reise we hym, and drawe we hym out to vs; and sette we a kyng in the myddis therof, the sone of Tabeel.
7 Bwana Yahwe asema, ''haitatokea; haitaonekana,
The Lord God seith these thingis, This schal not be, and it schal not stonde;
8 maana kichwa cha Amramu ni Damaskasi, na kishwa cha Damaskasi ni Rezini. Ndani ya miaka sitini na tano, ndoto za Ephraimu zitasambaratishwa na hapatakuwa na watu.
but Damask schal be the heed of Sirie, and Rasyn `schal be the heed of Damask; and yit sixti yeer and fiue, and Effraym schal faile to be a puple;
9 Efraimu ni kichwa Samaria, na kishwa cha Samaria ni mtoto wa Remaria. Na kama hamtasimama imara katika imani yenu, hakika hamtakuwa salama''.
and Samarie shal faile to be the heed of Effraym, and the sone of Romelie `schal faile to be heed of Samarie. Forsothe if ye schulen not bileue, ye schulen not dwelle.
10 Bwana akaongea tena na Ahazi,
And the Lord addide to speke to Achas,
11 ''Omba ishara ya Yahwe Mungu wako; omba juu ya hilo kwa kina au kwa kiwango cha juu.'' (Sheol )
and seide, Axe thou to thee a signe of thi Lord God, in to the depthe of helle, ethir in to heiythe aboue. (Sheol )
12 Lakini Ahazi anasema, sintomba wala kumjaribu Yahwe.''
And Achas seide, Y schal not axe, and Y schal not tempte the Lord.
13 Hivyo Isaya akajibu, ''sikilizen, nyumba ya Daudi. Je haijatosha kwa watu kuujaribu uvumilivu wa watu? Je ni lazima kuujaribu uvumilivu wa Mungu?
And Ysaie seide, Therfor the hous of Dauid, here ye; whether it is litil to you to be diseseful to men, for ye ben diseseful also to my God?
14 Hivyo basi Mungu mwenyewe atawapa yeye mwenywe ishara: ona, mwanamke bikira atapata mimba na kumzaa mtoto, na atamwita Emanueli.
For this thing the Lord hym silf schal yyue a signe to you. Lo! a virgyn schal conseyue, and schal bere a sone; and his name schal be clepid Emanuel.
15 Atakula siagi na asali na wakati anapojua kuyakataa maovu na kuchagua mema.
He schal ete botere and hony, that he kunne repreue yuel, and cheese good.
16 Maana kabla mtoto ajajua kuyakataa maovu na kuchagua mema, nchi ambayo wewe unawachukia wafalme itakuwa ukiwa.
For whi bifore that the child kunne repreue yuel, and chese good, the lond, which thou wlatist, schal be forsakun of the face of her twei kyngis.
17 Yahwe ataleta juu yako, juu ya watu wako, na juu ya nyumba ya baba yako siku hazijatimmia tangu Efraimu alipompokea Yuda- atamleta mfalme wa Asiria.''
The Lord schal brynge on thee, and on thi puple, and on the hous of thi fadir, daies that camen not fro the daies of departyng of Effraym fro Juda, with the kyng of Assiriens.
18 Mda huo Yahwe atapuliza filimbikwa ajili ya kupaa kutoka mkondo wa umbali wa Misri, na maana nyuki kutoka nchi ya Asiria.
And it schal be, in that dai the Lord schal hisse to a flie, which is in the laste parte of the floodis of Egipt; and to a bee, which is in the lond of Assur;
19 Zitakuja na kukaa chini ya korongo, ndani ya mapango ya miamba, kwenye vichaka vya miba, na kwenye malisho.
and `alle so schulen come, and schulen reste in the strondis of valeis, and in caues of stoonis, and in alle places of buyschis, and in alle hoolis.
20 Katika mda huo Bwana atamnyoa kichwani kichwani na nywele za miguuni kwa wembe ulioazimwa mto Efrarate— mfalme wa Asiria - na vilevile utasafisha ndevu zote.
And in that dai the Lord schal schaue with a scharp rasour in these men, that ben biyendis the flood, in the kyng of Assiriens, the heed, and heeris of the feet, and al the beerd.
21 Siku hiyo, mtu atahifadhi ndama na na kondoo wawili,
And it schal be, in that day a man schal nurische a cow of oxis, and twei scheep,
22 na kwasababu ya maziwa yatakayo patikana ni mengi, atakula siagi, maana kila atakaye bakia kwnye nchi atakula siagi na asali.
and for the plentee of mylk he schal ete botere; for whi ech man that schal be left in the myddis of the lond, schal ete boter and hony.
23 Mda huo, kutakuwa na maelfu ya mizabibu na thamani elfu za shekeli, hakutakuwa na kitu zaidi ya kuzalisha mbigiri na miiba.
And it schal be, in that dai ech place where a thousand vyneris schulen be worth a thousynde platis of siluer, and schulen be in to thornes and breeris,
24 Watu watenda pale kuwinda kwa upinde, kwa sababu nchi yote itazalisha mbigiri na miiba.
men schulen entre thidur with bouwis and arowis; for whi breris and thornes schulen be in al the lond.
25 Watakaa mbali na vilima vitalimwa kwa jembe, kwa sababu ya hofu ya mbigiri na miiba, lakini hapo patakuwa mahali pa kuchungia ngo'mbe na kondoo
And alle hillis that schulen be purgid with a sarpe, the drede of thornes and of breris schal not come thidir; and it schal be in to lesewe of oxen, and in to treding of scheep.
