< 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.
Lè sa a, se wa Akaz, pitit gason Jotam, pitit pitit gason Ozyas, ki t'ap gouvènen nan peyi Jida. Rezen, wa peyi Siri, ak Pekak, pitit Remalya, wa peyi Izrayèl, moute al atake lavil Jerizalèm. Men, yo pa t' ka pran l'.
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.
Yo pote nouvèl la bay wa peyi Jida a ansanm ak tout fanmi l'. Yo di l': -Lame peyi Siri a gen tan anvayi peyi Efrayim. Wa Akaz ansanm ak tout pèp la te sitèlman pè yo t'ap tranble tankou fèy bwa lè van ap soufle.
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.
Seyè a di Ezayi konsa: -Pran Chea-Jachoub, pitit gason ou lan, avè ou. Al kontre wa Akaz. W'a jwenn li sou wout ap moute bò kote yo konn lave twal ki fèk tenn yo, nan direksyon kannal ki bay dlo nan rezèvwa anwo lavil la.
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.
W'a di l' pou l' fè atansyon pou l' pa pèdi tèt li. Li pa bezwen pè. Li pa bezwen gen kè sote pou de ti bout bwa dife k'ap fè lafimen, ki vle di pou wa Rezen, moun peyi Siri a, ak pou wa Pekaz, pitit Remalya a, k'ap fè kòlè.
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,
Moun peyi Siri yo ansanm ak moun Efrayim yo ak pitit Remalya a ap fè konplo sou do ou.
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.”
Yo di y'ap moute atake peyi Jida a. Yo pral kraponnen moun yo, yo pral fè kèk moun nan peyi a pran pozisyon pou yo pou yo ka mete men sou peyi a. Apre sa, yo pral pran pitit gason Tableyèl la, y'ap nonmen l' wa pou gouvènen peyi a.
7 This is what the Lord GOD says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
Enben! Men sa mwen menm, Seyè ki sèl mèt la, mwen di: Sa p'ap mache! Sa p'ap pase konsa!
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.
Poukisa? Lavil Damas se kapital peyi Siri. Rezen se wa lavil Damas. Pou pèp peyi Izrayèl la menm, m' pa ba l' swasannsenkan ankò, peyi yo a ap fin kraze, yo p'ap yon nasyon ankò.
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.’”
Lavil Samari se kapital peyi Izrayèl la. Pekak, pitit gason Remalya a, se wa lavil Samari. Si nou pa kenbe konfyans nou fèm nan Bondye, nou menm tou nou p'ap chape.
10 The LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Seyè a voye yon lòt komisyon bay wa Akaz. Li di l' konsa:
11 "Ask a sign of the LORD your God; ask it either in Sheol (Sheol h7585), or in the height above."
-Mande Seyè a, Bondye ou la, pou li ba ou yon siy. Se ka yon siy ki soti anba tè kote mò yo ye a, se ka yon siy ki soti anwo nan syèl la. (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask. I will not tempt the LORD.”
Akaz reponn: -Mwen p'ap mande Seyè a anyen. Mwen p'ap sonde l'.
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?
Lè sa a, Ezayi di konsa: -Koute non, moun fanmi David yo! Sa pa kont nou toujou? Jan nou fè moun bouke ak nou pou koulye a nou soti pou nou fè Bondye mwen an bouke ak nou tou?
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.
Enben! Se Seyè a menm ki pral ban nou yon siy. Men li: Jenn tifi ki ansent lan pral fè yon pitit gason, l'a rele l' Emannwèl (ki vle di: Bondye avèk nou).
15 He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
Se lèt ak siwo myèl ase l'a manje jouk l'a rive laj pou l' konnen sa ki mal ak sa ki byen.
16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
Men, anvan menm ti gason an rive konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal, peyi de wa sa yo k'ap fè ou pè a ap rete konsa san pyès moun ladan yo.
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.
Seyè a pral fè yon malè sou ou, sou pèp la ak sou tout fanmi David, granpapa ou la, yon malè ki pral pi mal pase lè moun Efrayim yo te separe ak moun Jida yo. L'ap fè wa peyi Lasiri a parèt sou nou.
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.
Lè sa a, Seyè a pral soufle pou moun peyi Lejip yo soti tankou mouch byen lwen, bò dlo larivyè Nil la. L'ap rele moun peyi Lasiri yo pou yo soti tankou lesen myèl lakay yo.
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.
Yo pral vin plen falèz yo ak tout twou wòch yo. Yo pral toupatou nan tout raje, nan tout jaden zèb.
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.
Jou sa a, Seyè a ap fè wa peyi Lasiri a soti lòt bò larivyè Lefrat. Li va tankou yon razwa. L'ap vini, l'ap koupe tout bab ou, tout cheve nan tèt ou ak tout plim sou kò ou.
21 It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.
Jou sa a, chak moun va gen yon gazèl bèf ak de mouton pou yo chak.
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.
Lè sa a, bèt yo va bay lèt an kantite, tout moun va bwè lèt plen vant yo. Wi, moun ki va chape anba lanmò nan peyi a va bwè lèt ak siwo myèl ase.
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.
Jou sa a, kote ki te gen mil (1.000) pye rezen, epi ki te vo mil (1.000) pyès an ajan va plen pikan ak raje.
24 People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
Si yon moun pa gen zam nan men l', li p'ap ka pase la. Wi, pikan ak raje pral kouvri tout peyi a.
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.”
Nan tout mòn kote yo te konn travay ak wou pou plante, pesonn p'ap ka ale la ankò poutèt pikan ak raje. Se bèf y'a lage la, se la mouton yo pral manje.
