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.
Et factum est in diebus Achaz filii Ioathan, filii Oziæ regis Iuda, ascendit Rasin rex Syriæ, et Phacee filius Romeliæ rex Israel, in Ierusalem, ad præliandum contra eam: et non potuerunt debellare eam.
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.
Et nunciaverunt domui David, dicentes: Requievit Syria super Ephraim, et commotum est cor eius, et cor populi eius, sicut moventur ligna silvarum a facie venti.
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.
Et dixit Dominus ad Isaiam: Egredere in occursum Achaz tu, et qui derelictus est Iasub filius tuus, ad extremum aquæductus piscinæ superioris in via agri fullonis.
4 Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t 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.
Et dices ad eum: Vide ut sileas: noli timere, et cor tuum ne formidet a duabus caudis titionum fumigantium istorum in ira furoris Rasin regis Syriæ, et filii Romeliæ:
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,
eo quod consilium inierit contra te Syria in malum Ephraim, et filius Romeliæ, dicentes:
6 “Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it amongst ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.”
Ascendamus ad Iudam, et suscitemus eum, et avellamus eum ad nos, et ponamus regem in medio eius filium Tabeel.
7 This is what the Lord GOD says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non stabit, et non erit istud:
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.
sed caput Syriæ Damascus, et caput Damasci Rasin: et adhuc sexaginta et quinque anni, et desinet Ephraim esse populus:
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.’”
et caput Ephraim Samaria, et caput Samariæ filius Romeliæ. Si non credideritis, non permanebitis.
10 The LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Et adiecit Dominus loqui ad Achaz, dicens:
11 “Ask a sign of the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.” (Sheol h7585)
Pete tibi signum a Domino Deo tuo in profundum inferni, sive in excelsum supra. (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt the LORD.”
Et dixit Achaz: Non petam, et non tentabo Dominum.
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?
Et dixit: Audite ergo domus David: Numquid parum vobis est, molestos esse hominibus, quia molesti estis et Deo meo?
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.
Propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum. Ecce virgo concipiet, et pariet filium, et vocabitur nomen eius Emmanuel.
15 He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
Butyrum et mel comedet, ut sciat reprobare malum, et eligere bonum.
16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
Quia antequam sciat puer reprobare malum, et eligere bonum, derelinquetur terra, quam tu detestaris a facie duorum regum suorum.
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.
Adducet Dominus super te, et super populum tuum, et super domum patris tui dies, qui non venerunt a diebus separationis Ephraim a Iuda cum rege Assyriorum.
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.
Et erit in die illa: Sibilabit Dominus muscæ, quæ est in extremo fluminum Ægypti, et api, quæ est in terra Assur,
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.
et venient, et requiescent omnes in torrentibus vallium, et in cavernis petrarum, et in omnibus frutetis, et in universis foraminibus.
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.
In die illa radet Dominus in novacula conducta in his, qui trans flumen sunt, in rege Assyriorum, caput et pilos pedum, et barbam universam.
21 It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.
Et erit in die illa: Nutriet homo vaccam boum, et duas oves,
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.
et præ ubertate lactis comedet butyrum: butyrum enim et mel manducabit omnis qui relictus fuerit in medio terræ.
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.
Et erit in die illa: Omnis locus ubi fuerint mille vites, mille argenteis, in spinas et in vepres erunt.
24 People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
Cum sagittis et arcu ingredientur illuc: vepres enim et spinæ erunt in universa terra.
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.”
Et omnes montes, qui in sarculo sarrientur, non veniet illuc terror spinarum et veprium. Et erit in pascua bovis, et in conculcationem pecoris.
