Isaiah 7

1 And in the dayes of Ahaz, the sonne of Iotham, the sonne of Vzziah king of Iudah, Rezin the King of Aram came vp, and Pekah the sonne of Remaliah King of Israel, to Ierusalem to fight against it, but he could not ouercome it.

et factum est in diebus Ahaz filii Ioatham filii Oziae regis Iuda ascendit Rasin rex Syriae et Phacee filius Romeliae rex Israhel in Hierusalem ad proeliandum contra eam et non potuerunt debellare eam

2 And it was tolde the house of Dauid, saying, Aram is ioyned with Ephraim: therefore his heart was moued, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moued by the winde.

et nuntiaverunt 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 sayde the Lord vnto Isaiah, Goe foorth nowe to meete Ahaz (thou and Sheariashub thy sonne) at the ende of the conduit of the vpper poole, in the path of the fullers fielde,

et dixit Dominus ad Isaiam egredere in occursum Ahaz tu et qui derelictus est Iasub filius tuus ad extremum aquaeductus piscinae superioris in via agri Fullonis

4 And say vnto him, Take heede, and be still: feare not, neither be faint hearted for the two tailes of these smoking firebrands, for the furious wrath of Rezin and of Aram, and of Remaliahs sonne:

et dices ad eum vide ut sileas noli timere et cor tuum ne formidet a duobus caudis titionum fumigantium istorum in ira furoris Rasin et Syriae et filii Romeliae

5 Because Aram hath taken wicked counsell against thee, and Ephraim, and Remaliahs sonne, saying,

eo quod consilium inierit contra te Syria malum Ephraim et filius Romeliae dicentes

6 Let vs goe vp against Iudah, and let vs waken them vp, and make a breach therein for vs, and set a King in the mids thereof, euen the sonne of Tabeal.

ascendamus ad Iudam et suscitemus eum et avellamus eum ad nos et ponamus regem in medio eius filium Tabeel

7 Thus sayth the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it be.

haec dicit Dominus Deus non stabit et non erit istud

8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within fiue and threescore yeere, Ephraim shalbe destroyed from being a people.

sed caput Syriae Damascus et caput Damasci Rasin et adhuc sexaginta et quinque anni et desinet Ephraim esse populus

9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliahs sonne. If ye beleeue not, surely ye shall not be established.

et caput Ephraim Samaria et caput Samariae filius Romeliae si non credideritis non permanebitis

10 And the Lord spake againe vnto Ahaz, saying,

et adiecit Dominus loqui ad Ahaz dicens

11 Aske a signe for thee of the Lord thy God: aske it, either in the depth beneath or in the height aboue. (Sheol h7585)

pete tibi signum a Domino Deo tuo in profundum inferni sive in excelsum supra (Sheol h7585)

12 But Ahaz sayd, I wil not aske, neither will I tempt the Lord.

et dixit Ahaz non petam et non temptabo Dominum

13 Then he sayd, Heare you nowe, O house of Dauid, Is it a small thing for you to grieue men, that ye will also grieue my God?

et dixit audite ergo domus David numquid parum vobis est molestos esse hominibus quia molesti estis et Deo meo

14 Therefore the Lord himselfe will giue you a signe. Beholde, the virgine shall conceiue and beare a sonne, and she shall call his name Immanu-el.

propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum ecce virgo concipiet et pariet filium et vocabitis nomen eius Emmanuhel

15 Butter and hony shall he eate, till he haue knowledge to refuse the euill, and to chuse the good.

butyrum et mel comedet ut sciat reprobare malum et eligere bonum

16 For afore the childe shall haue knowledge to eschew the euill, and to chuse the good, the land, that thou abhorrest, shalbe forsaken of both her Kings.

quia antequam sciat puer reprobare malum et eligere bonum derelinquetur terra quam tu detestaris a facie duum regum suorum

17 The Lord shall bring vpon thee, and vpon thy people, and vpon thy fathers house (the dayes that haue not come from the day that Ephraim departed from Iudah) euen the King of Asshur.

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 And in that day shall the Lord hisse for the flie that is at the vttermost part of the floods of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the lande of Asshur,

et erit in die illa sibilabit Dominus muscae quae est in extremo fluminum Aegypti et api quae est in terra Assur

19 And they shall come and shall light all in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rockes, and vpon all thorny places, and vpon all bushy places.

et venient et requiescent omnes in torrentibus vallium et cavernis petrarum et in omnibus frutectis et in universis foraminibus

20 In that day shall the Lord shaue with a rasor that is hired, euen by them beyond the Riuer, by the King of Asshur, the head and the heare of the feete, and it shall 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 And in the same day shall a man nourish a yong kow, and two sheepe.

et erit in die illa nutriet homo vaccam boum et duas oves

22 And for the abundance of milke, that they shall giue, hee shall eate butter: for butter and hony shall euery one eate, which is left within the land.

et prae ubertate lactis comedet butyrum butyrum enim et mel manducabit omnis qui relictus fuerit in medio terrae

23 And at the same day euery place, wherein shalbe a thousand vines, shalbe at a thousand pieces of siluer: so it shalbe for the briers and for the thornes.

et erit in die illa omnis locus ubi fuerint mille vites mille argenteis et in spinas et in vepres erunt

24 With arrowes and with bowe shall one come thither: because all the land shall be briers and thornes.

cum sagittis et arcu ingredientur illuc vepres enim et spinae erunt in universa terra

25 But on all the mountaines, which shalbe digged with the mattocke, there shall not come thither the feare of briers and thornes: but they shalbe for the sending out of bullocks, and for the treading of sheepe.

et omnes montes qui in sarculo sarientur non veniet illuc terror spinarum et veprium et erit in pascua bovis et in conculcationem pecoris
