< Isaiah 7 >

1 Nígbà tí Ahasi ọmọ Jotamu ọmọ Ussiah jẹ́ ọba Juda, ọba Resini ti Aramu àti Peka ọmọ Remaliah ọba Israẹli gòkè wá láti bá Jerusalẹmu jà, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò sì le è borí i rẹ̀.
And it comes to pass in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, have gone up to Jerusalem, to battle against it, and he is not able to fight against it.
2 Báyìí, a sọ fún ilé Dafidi pé, “Aramu mà ti lẹ̀dí àpò pọ̀ mọ́ Efraimu”; fún ìdí èyí, ọkàn Ahasi àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ wárìrì gẹ́gẹ́ bí igi oko ṣe ń wárìrì níwájú afẹ́fẹ́.
And it is declared to the house of David, saying, “Aram has been led toward 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 Lẹ́yìn èyí, Olúwa sọ fún Isaiah pé, “Jáde, ìwọ àti ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin rẹ Ṣeari-Jaṣubu láti pàdé Ahasi ní ìpẹ̀kun ìṣàn omi ti adágún òkè, ní òpópó ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí pápá Alágbàfọ̀.
And YHWH says to Isaiah, “Now go forth to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-Jashub, to the end of the conduit of the upper pool, to the highway of the fuller’s field,
4 Sọ fún un, ‘Ṣọ́ra à rẹ, fi ọkàn balẹ̀, kí o má ṣe bẹ̀rù. Má ṣe ba ọkàn jẹ́ nítorí kùkùté igi ìdáná méjèèjì yìí, nítorí ìbínú gbígbóná Resini àti Aramu àti ti ọmọ Remaliah.
and you have said to him: Take heed, and be quiet, do not fear, And do not let your 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 Aramu, Efraimu àti Remaliah ti dìtẹ̀ ìparun rẹ, wọ́n wí pé,
Because that Aram counseled evil against you, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
6 “Jẹ́ kí a kọlu Juda; jẹ́ kí a fà á ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ, kí a sì pín in láàrín ara wa, kí a sì fi ọmọ Tabeli jẹ ọba lórí i rẹ̀.”
We go up into Judah, and we distress it, And we divide it to ourselves, And we cause a king to reign in its midst—The son of Tabeal.
7 Síbẹ̀ èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Èyí kò ní wáyé èyí kò le ṣẹlẹ̀,
Thus said Lord YHWH: It does not stand, nor will it be!
8 nítorí Damasku ni orí Aramu, orí Damasku sì ni Resini. Láàrín ọdún márùnlélọ́gọ́ta Efraimu yóò ti fọ́ tí kì yóò le jẹ́ ènìyàn mọ́.
For the head of Aram [is] Damascus, And the head of Damascus [is] Rezin, And within sixty-five years Is Ephraim broken from [being] a people.
9 Orí Efraimu sì ni Samaria, orí Samaria sì ni ọmọ Remaliah. Bí ẹ̀yin kí yóò bá gbàgbọ́, lóòtítọ́, a kì yóò fi ìdí yín múlẹ̀.’”
And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, And the head of Samaria [is] the son of Remaliah. If you do not give credence, Surely you are not steadfast.”
10 Bákan náà Olúwa tún bá Ahasi sọ̀rọ̀,
And YHWH adds to speak to Ahaz, saying,
11 “Béèrè fún àmì lọ́wọ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, bóyá ní ọ̀gbun tí ó jì jùlọ tàbí àwọn òkè tí ó ga jùlọ.” (Sheol h7585)
“Ask for a sign from your God YHWH, Make the request deep, or make [it] high upwards.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Ṣùgbọ́n Ahasi sọ pé, “Èmi kì yóò béèrè; Èmi kò ní dán Olúwa wò.”
And Ahaz says, “I do not ask nor try YHWH.”
13 Lẹ́yìn náà Isaiah sọ pé, “Gbọ́ ní ìsinsin yìí, ìwọ ilé Dafidi, kò ha tọ́ láti tán ènìyàn ní sùúrù, ìwọ yóò ha tan Ọlọ́run ní sùúrù bí?
And he says, “Now hear, O house of David, Is it a little thing for you to weary men, That you also weary my God?
14 Nítorí náà, Olúwa fúnra ara rẹ̀ ni yóò fún ọ ní àmì kan. Wúńdíá kan yóò lóyún, yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, yóò sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Emmanueli.
Therefore the Lord Himself gives a sign to you, Behold, the virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a Son, And has called His Name Immanuel,
15 Òun yóò jẹ wàrà àti oyin nígbà tí ó bá ní ìmọ̀ tó láti kọ ẹ̀bi àti láti yan rere.
He eats butter and honey, When He knows to refuse evil, and to fix on good.
16 Ṣùgbọ́n kí ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà tó mọ bí a ti ń kọ ẹ̀bi àti láti yan rere, ilẹ̀ àwọn ọba méjèèjì tí ń bà ọ́ lẹ́rù wọ̀nyí yóò ti di ahoro.
For before the youth knows To refuse evil, and to fix on good, The land you are distressed with is forsaken, because of her two kings.
17 Olúwa yóò mú àsìkò mìíràn wá fún ọ àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ àti lórí ilé baba rẹ irú èyí tí kò sí láti ìgbà tí Efraimu ti yà kúrò ní Juda, yóò sì mú ọba Asiria wá.”
YHWH brings on you, and on your people, And on the house of your father, Days that have not come, Even from the day of the turning aside of Ephraim from Judah, By the king of Asshur.”
18 Ní ọjọ́ náà ni Olúwa yóò súfèé pe àwọn eṣinṣin láti àwọn odò tó jìnnà ní Ejibiti wá, àti fún àwọn oyin láti ilẹ̀ Asiria.
And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH hisses 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 Gbogbo wọn yóò sì wá dó sí gẹ̀rẹ́gẹ̀rẹ́ òkè àti pàlàpálá òkúta, lára koríko ẹ̀gún àti gbogbo ibi ihò omi.
And they have come, and all of them rested in the desolate valleys, And in holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, And on all the commendable things.
20 Ní ọjọ́ náà, Olúwa yóò lo abẹ fífẹ́lẹ́ tí a yá láti ìkọjá odò Eufurate, ọba Asiria, láti fá irun orí àti ti àwọn ẹsẹ̀ ẹ yín, àti láti mú irùngbọ̀n yín kúrò pẹ̀lú.
In that day the Lord shaves, By a razor that is hired beyond the river, By the king of Asshur, The head, and the hair of the feet, Indeed, it also consumes the beard.
21 Ní ọjọ́ náà, ọkùnrin kan yóò máa sin ọ̀dọ́ abo màlúù kan àti ewúrẹ́ méjì.
And it has come to pass in that day, A man keeps alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,
22 Àti nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wàrà tí wọn yóò máa fún un, yóò ní wàràǹkàṣì láti jẹ. Gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá kù ní ilẹ̀ náà yóò jẹ wàràǹkàṣì àti oyin.
And it has come to pass, He eats butter from the abundance of the yielding of milk, For everyone who is left in the heart of the land eats butter and honey.
23 Ní ọjọ́ náà, ni gbogbo ibi tí àjàrà tí ó tó ẹgbẹ̀rún ṣékélì fàdákà, ẹ̀gún àti ẹ̀wọ̀n nìkan ni yóò wà níbẹ̀.
And it has come to pass in that day, Every place where there are one thousand vines, At one thousand pieces of silver, Is for briers and for thorns.
24 Àwọn ènìyàn yóò máa lọ síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọrun àti ọfà nítorí pé ẹ̀gún àti ẹ̀wọ̀n ni yóò bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà.
He comes there with arrows and with bow, Because all the land is brier and thorn.
25 Àti ní orí àwọn òkè kéékèèké tí a ti ń fi ọkọ́ ro nígbà kan rí, ẹ kò ní lọ síbẹ̀ mọ́ nítorí ìbẹ̀rù ẹ̀gún àti ẹ̀wọ̀n, wọn yóò di ibi tí a ń da màlúù lọ, àti ibi ìtẹ̀mọ́lẹ̀ fún àwọn àgùntàn kéékèèké.
And all the hills that are kept in order with a mattock, There does not come [for] fear of brier and thorn, And it has been for the sending forth of ox, And for the treading of sheep!
