1 And he said Yahweh to me take yourself a tablet large and write on it with a stylus of a person Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. 2 And I will call as witness for myself witnesses reliable Uriah the priest and Zechariah [the] son of Jeberekiah. 3 And I drew near to the prophetess and she conceived and she bore a son and he said Yahweh to me call name his Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. 4 For before he will know the lad to call out O father my and O mother my someone will carry off - [the] wealth of Damascus and [the] plunder of Samaria before [the] king of Assyria. 5 And he repeated Yahweh to speak to me again saying. 6 Because for it has rejected the people this [the] waters of Shiloah which go to gentleness and rejoicing with Rezin and [the] son of Remaliah. 7 And therefore there! [the] Lord [is] about to bring up on them [the] waters of the River mighty and many [the] king of Assyria and all glory his and it will rise over all channels its and it will go over all banks its. 8 And it will pass on in Judah it will overflow and it will pass over to [the] neck it will reach and it will be [the] spreading of wings its [the] fullness of [the] breadth of land your O Immanu-el. 9 Be bad O peoples and be shattered and give ear O all [the] distant places of [the] earth gird yourselves and be shattered gird yourselves and be shattered. 10 Plan a plan so it may be frustrated speak a word and not it will stand for [is] with us God. 11 For thus he said Yahweh to me according to [the] strength of the hand and he will instruct me from walking in [the] way of the people this saying. 12 Not you must say! conspiracy of all that it is saying the people this conspiracy and fear its not you must fear and not you must regard with awe. 13 Yahweh of hosts him you will regard as holy and he [will be] fear your and he [the] [one whom] regard with awe you. 14 And he will become a sanctuary and a stone of striking and a rock of stumbling for [the] two [the] houses of Israel a trap and a snare for [the] inhabitant[s] of Jerusalem. 15 And they will stumble over them many [people] and they will fall and they will be broken and they will be ensnared and they will be captured. 16 Bind up [the] testimony seal up [the] instruction among disciples my. 17 And I will wait for Yahweh who is hiding face his from [the] house of Jacob and I will wait eagerly for him. 18 Here! I and the children whom he has given to me Yahweh for signs and for portents in Israel from with Yahweh of hosts who dwells on [the] mountain of Zion. 19 And if they will say to you consult the necromancers and the soothsayers who whisper and who mutter ¿ not a people God its will it consult for the living the dead. 20 To [the] instruction and to [the] testimony if not they will speak according to the manner this that not [belongs] to it dawn. 21 And it will pass in it hard pressed and hungry and it will be that it will be hungry and it will be enraged and it will curse king its and God its and it will turn upwards. 22 And to [the] earth it will look and there! trouble and darkness gloom of distress and gloom [it is] thrust out.
