< Isaiah 7 >

1 In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
Judah siangpahrang Uzziah capa Jotham, a capa Ahaz siangpahrang se navah, Siria siangpahrang Rezin hoi Isarel siangpahrang Remaliah capa Pekah tinaw teh Jerusalem tuk hanlah a kamthaw awh. Hateiteh, kangcoung hoeh.
2 David’s house was told, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.
Siria ram ni Ephraim ram hah a kâuep tie hah Devit imthung ni a thai navah, kahrawngum vah thingkungnaw teh kahlî ni a kâhuet sak e patetlah siangpahrang e lung hoi khocanaw e lung hai thouk a kâhuet.
3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.
Hat toteh, BAWIPA ni Isaiah koe lawk a dei pouh e teh, nang hoi na capa Shear-Jashub hoi rei cet roi nateh, kapâsukung e laikawk teng ceinae lam, atunglae tuikhu teng vah, Ahaz siangpahrang hah dawn nateh, na kâhmo toteh na dei pouh hane teh,
4 Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Do not be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
Kâhruetcuet nateh, lawkkamuem lah awmh. Taket hanh. Hmai sungsung ka khu e hete thingtu kahni touh tie Siria siangpahrang Rezin hoi Remaliah capa tinaw teh a lung puenghoi ka khuek nakunghai, na lungpuen hanh.
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,
Siria ram, Ephraim ram, Remaliah capanaw ni, maimouh ni Judah ram lah cei awh vaiteh, peng kayei awh sei,
6 “Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.”
ram lungui vah Tabeel capa hah siangpahrang lah tat awh sei, telah nange a vang lah kahawihoehe pouknae hoi a kâcai awh
7 This is what the Lord GOD says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
Hatei, Bawipa Jehovah ni, hottelah kangcoung mahoeh, hottelah tho mahoeh ati.
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people.
Siria ram e lû teh Damaskas kho, Damaskas kho e lû teh Rezin, kum 65 touh thung Ephraim teh ram lah ao hoeh nahanelah, a raphoe han.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”
Ephraim e lû teh Samaria, Samaria e lû teh Remaliah capa doeh. Na yuem awh hoehpawiteh, na kangdout katang awh mahoeh atipouh.
10 The LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Hahoi, BAWIPA na Cathut koe mitnoutnae hah het haw.
11 "Ask a sign of the LORD your God; ask it either in Sheol (Sheol h7585), or in the height above."
Adungnae koehai thoseh, a rasangnae hmuen koehai thoseh, kâhet haw telah BAWIPA Cathut ni Ahaz koe atipouh. (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask. I will not tempt the LORD.”
Hatei, Ahaz ni ka kâhet mahoeh. BAWIPA hai ka tanouk mahoeh atipouh.
13 He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?
Hat toteh, Isaiah ni Oe Devit imthungnaw, thai awh haw. Nangmouh ni tami na hnueai sak dueng laipalah, kai ni ka bawk e Cathut hai na hnueai sak awh han namaw.
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ma ni nangmanaw hah mitnout na poe awh han. Khenhaw! Tanglakacuem buet touh ni capa vawn vaiteh, ca tongpa a khe han. Hote capa hah Immanuel telah a min phung han.
15 He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
Ahni ni, kahawihoehe hah a takhoe teh, kahawi e hah a rawi thai totouh, sanutui pakak e hoi khoitui hah a ca han.
16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
Hote camo ni, kahawihoehe a takhoe teh kahawi e a rawi thai hoehnahlan nang ni na taki e siangpahrang kahni touh ni, a uknaeram teh pahnawt e ram lah ao han.
17 The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria.
Ephraim ni Judah koehoi a tâco takhai hnin hoiyah, kaawm boihoeh e hnin hah nange lathueng hai thoseh, na imthungnaw lathueng hai thoseh, BAWIPA ni a Assiria siangpahrang a tho khai han.
18 It will happen in that day that the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
Hote hnin navah, Izip sawkcanaw dawk e bitseinaw hai thoseh, Assiria ram e khoinaw hai thoseh, BAWIPA ni a hroecoe han.
19 They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.
Hotnaw tho awh vaiteh, tami kingdinae koe ravonaw, lungha lungngoumnaw, buruknaw, saring ni canei e ramnaw pueng dawk king akawi awh han.
20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.
Hat hnin vah, palangpui namran lah kaawm e hlai e Assiria siangpahrang pataca hoi, na sam hoi na khokmuen hah BAWIPA ni na ngaw pouh han. Na pâkhamuen hai na ngaw pouh han.
21 It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.
Hat hnin vah, tami buet touh ni maito buet touh, tu kahni touh paca pawiteh,
22 It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter, for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within the land.
sanutui buem pouh vaiteh, sanutui pakak e a ca han. Ram dawk ka cawi rae pueng ni sanutui pakak e hoi khoitui a ca awh han.
23 It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, will be for briers and thorns.
Hatnavah, misurkung 1,000 touh ka tawn niteh, tangka 1,000 touh ka phu e misur takha pueng haiyah, pâkhing hoi akawi han.
24 People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
Licung hoi pala patuem awh vaiteh, hete hmuen koe a cei awh han. Talaivan pueng pâkhing hoi akawi han.
25 All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending out of oxen, and for sheep to tread on.”
Tokso hoi tai teh vu e law pueng hai, pâkhing kecu apinihai a cei ngai hoeh dawkvah, maito pânae, tunaw ni coungroenae lah ao han.
