< Isaiah 7 >

1 Ahaz was the son of Jotham and grandson of Uzziah. During the time that Ahaz was the king of Judah, King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel marched [with their armies] to attack Jerusalem. But they could not conquer it.
و در ایام آحاز بن یوتام بن عزیا پادشاه یهودا، واقع شد که رصین، پادشاه آرام وفقح بن رملیا پادشاه اسرائیل بر اورشلیم برآمدندتا با آن جنگ نمایند، اما نتوانستند آن را فتح نمایند.۱
2 [But before they attacked], everyone in the palace heard a report that the armies of Syria and Israel were [now] (allies/joined [to attack Jerusalem)]. So Ahaz and the people over whom he ruled were extremely afraid; they were shaking from fear like trees shake in a windstorm.
و به خاندان داود خبر داده، گفتند که ارام در افرایم اردو زده‌اند و دل او و دل مردمانش بلرزید به طوری که درختان جنگل از باد می‌لرزد.۲
3 Then Yahweh said to me, “Take your son Shear-Jashub, and go to talk with [King] Ahaz. He is at the end of the (aqueduct/water channel) that brings water into the upper reservoir, near the road to the place where women wash clothes.
آنگاه خداوند به اشعیا گفت: «تو با پسر خودشاریاشوب به انتهای قنات برکه فوقانی به راه مزرعه گازر به استقبال آحاز بیرون شو.۳
4 Tell Ahaz to stop worrying [DOU]. Tell him that he does not need to be afraid of those two kings, Rezin and Pekah. They are very angry [with Judah], but they are [unable to harm his country any more than] completely burned-out coals [can harm him].
و وی رابگو: باحذر و آرام باش مترس و دلت ضعیف نشود از این دو‌دم مشعل دودافشان، یعنی ازشدت خشم رصین و ارام و پسر رملیا.۴
5 Yes, they are planning to attack this land and saying,
زیرا که ارام با افرایم و پسر رملیا برای ضرر تو مشورت کرده، می‌گویند:۵
6 ‘We will attack Judah and conquer it. Then we will appoint Tabeel’s son to be the king of Judah.’
بر یهودا برآییم و آن رامحاصره کرده، به جهت خویشتن تسخیر نماییم و پسر طبئیل را در آن به پادشاهی نصب کنیم.»۶
7 But this is what Yahweh, the Lord, says: ‘It will not happen; they will not [conquer Jerusalem]!
خداوند یهوه چنین می‌گوید که «این بجا آورده نمی شود و واقع نخواهد گردید.۷
8 The capital of Syria is Damascus, but Damascus is ruled [only] by its [unimportant/insignificant] king king Rezin. And as for Israel, within 65 years it will be conquered and completely destroyed.
زیرا که سرارام، دمشق و سر دمشق، رصین است و بعد ازشصت و پنج سال افرایم شکسته می‌شود به طوری که دیگر قومی نخواهد بود.۸
9 Israel’s capital is Samaria, and Samaria is ruled only by its [insignificant/unimportant] king king Pekah. [So you do not need to be afraid of those two countries]! [But you must trust me, because] if you do not trust me fully, you will be defeated.’”
و سر افرایم سامره و سر سامره پسر رملیا است و اگر باورنکنید هرآینه ثابت نخواهید ماند.»۹
10 [Later], Yahweh gave [me another message to tell to] King Ahaz.
و خداوند بار دیگر آحاز را خطاب کرده، گفت:۱۰
11 [He said to tell him], “Request me, Yahweh your God, to do something that will enable you to be sure [that I will help/protect you]. What you request can be [from a place that is] as high as the sky or as low as the place where the dead people are.” (Sheol h7585)
«آیتی به جهت خود از یهوه خدایت بطلب. آن را یا از عمق‌ها بطلب یا از اعلی علیین بالا.» (Sheol h7585)۱۱
12 But [when I told that to the king, he refused]. He said, “[No], I will not request Yahweh to do something to prove [that he will help/protect us]!”
آحاز گفت: «نمی طلبم و خداوند راامتحان نخواهم نمود.»۱۲
13 Then I said [to him], “You people who are descendants of King David, listen! You are causing me to be tired of being patient. Are you also going to cause my God to stop being patient with you [RHQ]?
گفت: «ای خاندان داود بشنوید! آیا شما راچیزی سهل است که مردمان را بیزار کنید بلکه می‌خواهید خدای مرا نیز بیزار کنید.۱۳
14 Yahweh himself will do something for you [to prove that he will help/protect you]. Listen to this: A young woman will become pregnant and give birth to a son. She will name him Immanuel, [which means ‘God is with us’].
بنابراین خود خداوند به شما آیتی خواهد داد: اینک باکره حامله شده، پسری خواهد زایید و نام او راعمانوئیل خواهد خواند.۱۴
15 And by the time that child is old enough to eat curds/yogurt and honey, he will be able to reject what is evil and choose what is good.
کره و عسل خواهدخورد تا آنکه ترک کردن بدی و اختیار کردن خوبی را بداند.۱۵
16 And before that child is old enough to do that, the lands of the two kings that you(sg) are very (afraid of/worried about) will be deserted.
زیرا قبل از آنکه پسر، ترک نمودن بدی و اختیار کردن خوبی را بداند، زمینی که شما از هر دو پادشاه آن می‌ترسید، متروک خواهد شد.۱۶
17 [But then] Yahweh will cause you and your family and your entire nation to experience [terrible disasters]. Those disasters will be worse than any disasters that have occurred since the country of Israel separated from Judah. Yahweh will cause [the army of] the king of Assyria to attack you!”
خداوند بر تو و بر قومت و برخاندان پدرت ایامی را خواهد آورد که از ایامی که افرایم از یهودا جدا شد تا حال نیامده باشدیعنی پادشاه آشور را.»۱۷
18 At that time, [it will be as though] Yahweh will whistle to summon the army from the south of Egypt as well as the army of Assyria. They will [come and surround your country like] [MET] flies and bees.
و در آن روز واقع خواهد شد که خداوند برای مگسهایی که به کناره های نهرهای مصرند و زنبورهایی که درزمین آشورند صفیر خواهد زد.۱۸
19 They will all come and settle/live [everywhere]—in the narrow valleys and caves in the rock cliffs, on land where there are thornbushes as well as on the fertile land.
و تمامی آنهابرآمده، در وادیهای ویران و شکافهای صخره وبر همه بوته های خاردار و بر همه مرتع‌ها فرود خواهند آمد.۱۹
20 At that time Yahweh will hire the king of Assyria to come [with his army] from east of the [Euphrates] River. [They will get rid of everything in your land—the crops and the people. They will destroy everything thoroughly]; it will be like [MET] a barber shaving not only a man’s hair but his beard and the hair on his legs.
و در آن روز خداوند به واسطه استره‌ای که از ماورای نهر اجیر می‌شود یعنی به واسطه پادشاه آشور موی سر و موی پایها راخواهد تراشید و ریش هم سترده خواهد شد.۲۰
21 When that happens, a farmer will be able to have only one cow and two goats/sheep.
و در آن روز واقع خواهد شد که شخصی یک گاو جوان و دو گوسفند زنده نگاه خواهد داشت.۲۱
22 [However], those animals will give plenty of milk, with the result that the farmer will have curds/yogurt to eat. And [because there will not be many people left] in the land, all the people who remain there will have plenty of milk and honey.
و از فراوانی شیری که می‌دهند کره خواهدخورد زیرا هرکه در میان زمین باقی ماند خوراکش کره و عسل خواهد بود.۲۲
23 Now there are many areas where there are vineyards that are worth 1,000 pieces of silver, but at that time there will be only briers and thorns [DOU] in those fields.
و در آن روز هر مکانی که هزار مو به جهت هزار پاره نقره داده می‌شد پراز خار و خس خواهد بود.۲۳
24 There will be only briers and thorns in the entire land, [and wild animals], with the result that men will take their bows and arrows and go there [to hunt and kill animals].
با تیرها و کمانهامردم به آنجا خواهند آمد زیرا که تمامی زمین پراز خار و خس خواهد شد.۲۴
25 No one will go to where there previously were gardens on fertile hillsides, because briers and thorns will cover those hillsides. They will be areas where [only a few] cattle and sheep and goats wander around [searching for something to eat].
و جمیع کوههایی که با بیل کنده می‌شد، از ترس خار و خس به آنجانخواهند آمد بلکه گاوان را به آنجا خواهندفرستاد و گوسفندان آن را پایمال خواهند کرد.۲۵
