Isaiah 7
1 And it happened in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, the king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, ascended to Jerusalem to battle against it. But they were not able to defeat it.
烏西雅的孫子、約坦的兒子、猶大王亞哈斯在位的時候，亞蘭王利汛和利瑪利的兒子、以色列王比加上來攻打耶路撒冷，卻不能攻取。
2 And they reported to the house of David, saying: “Syria has withdrawn to Ephraim.” And his heart was shaken, with the heart of his people, just as the trees of the forest are moved by the face of the wind.
有人告訴大衛家說：「亞蘭與以法蓮已經同盟。」王的心和百姓的心就都跳動，好像林中的樹被風吹動一樣。
3 And the Lord said to Isaiah: Go out to meet Ahaz, you and your son, Jashub, who was left behind, to the end of the aqueduct, at the upper pool, on the road to the fuller’s field.
耶和華對以賽亞說：「你和你的兒子施亞雅述出去，到上池的水溝頭，在漂布地的大路上，去迎接亞哈斯，
4 And you shall say to him: “See to it that you are silent. Do not be afraid. And have no dread in your heart over the two tails of these firebrands, nearly extinguished, which are the wrath of the fury of Rezin, king of Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.”
對他說：『你要謹慎安靜，不要因亞蘭王利汛和利瑪利的兒子這兩個冒煙的火把頭所發的烈怒害怕，也不要心裏膽怯。
5 For Syria has undertaken a plan against you, with the evil of Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying:
因為亞蘭和以法蓮，並利瑪利的兒子，設惡謀害你，
6 “Let us ascend to Judah, and stir it up, and tear it away for ourselves, and appoint the son of Tabeel as a king in its midst.”
說：我們可以上去攻擊猶大，擾亂它，攻破它，在其中立他比勒的兒子為王。
7 Thus says the Lord God: This shall not stand, and this shall not be.
所以主耶和華如此說： 這所謀的必立不住， 也不得成就。
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years from now, Ephraim will cease to be a people.
原來亞蘭的首城是大馬士革； 大馬士革的首領是利汛。 （六十五年之內，以法蓮必然破壞，不再成為國民。）
9 For the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you will not continue.
以法蓮的首城是撒馬利亞； 撒馬利亞的首領是利瑪利的兒子。 你們若是不信， 定然不得立穩。』」
10 And the Lord spoke further to Ahaz, saying:
耶和華又曉諭亞哈斯說：
11 Ask for a sign for yourself from the Lord your God, from the depths below, even to the heights above. (Sheol h7585)
「你向耶和華－你的上帝求一個兆頭：或求顯在深處，或求顯在高處。」 (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz said, “I will not ask, for I will not tempt the Lord.”
亞哈斯說：「我不求；我不試探耶和華。」
13 And he said: “Then listen, O house of David. Is it such a small thing for you to trouble men, that you must also trouble my God?
以賽亞說：「大衛家啊，你們當聽！你們使人厭煩豈算小事，還要使我的上帝厭煩嗎？
14 For this reason, the Lord himself will grant to you a sign. Behold, a virgin will conceive, and she will give birth to a son, and his name will be called Immanuel.
因此，主自己要給你們一個兆頭，必有童女懷孕生子，給他起名叫以馬內利。
15 He will eat butter and honey, so that he may know to reject evil and to choose good.
到他曉得棄惡擇善的時候，他必吃奶油與蜂蜜。
16 But even before the boy knows to refuse evil and to choose good, the land that you detest will be abandoned by the face of her two kings.
因為在這孩子還不曉得棄惡擇善之先，你所憎惡的那二王之地必致見棄。
17 The Lord will lead over you, and over your people, and over the house of your father, such days as have not occurred since the days of the separation of Ephraim from Judah by the king of the Assyrians.
耶和華必使亞述王攻擊你的日子臨到你和你的百姓，並你的父家，自從以法蓮離開猶大以來，未曾有這樣的日子。
18 And this shall be in that day: the Lord will call for the fly, which is in the most distant parts of the rivers of Egypt, and for the swarm, which is in the land of Assur.
「那時，耶和華要發嘶聲，使埃及江河源頭的蒼蠅和亞述地的蜂子飛來；
19 And they will arrive, and they all will rest in the torrents of the valleys, and in the caverns of the rocks, and in every thicket, and in every opening.
都必飛來，落在荒涼的谷內、磐石的穴裏，和一切荊棘籬笆中，並一切的草場上。
20 In that day, the Lord will shave with a razor the ones hired by those who are across the river, by the king of the Assyrians, from the head to the hairs of the feet, with the entire beard.
「那時，主必用大河外賃的剃頭刀，就是亞述王，剃去頭髮和腳上的毛，並要剃淨鬍鬚。
21 And this shall be in that day: a man will raise a cow among oxen, and two sheep,
「那時，一個人要養活一隻母牛犢，兩隻母綿羊；
22 and, instead of an abundance of milk, he will eat butter. For all who are left behind in the midst of the land will eat butter and honey.
因為出的奶多，他就得吃奶油，在境內所剩的人都要吃奶油與蜂蜜。
23 And this shall be in that day: every place, where there were a thousand grapevines worth a thousand pieces of silver, will become thorns and briers.
「從前，凡種一千棵葡萄樹、值銀一千舍客勒的地方，到那時必長荊棘和蒺藜。
24 They will enter such places with arrows and bows. For briers and thorns will be throughout the entire land.
人上那裏去，必帶弓箭，因為遍地滿了荊棘和蒺藜。
25 But as for all the mountains, which will be dug with a hoe, the terror of thorns and briers will not approach those places. And there will be pasture land for oxen, and a range for cattle.”
所有用鋤刨挖的山地，你因怕荊棘和蒺藜，不敢上那裏去；只可成了放牛之處，為羊踐踏之地。」
